Transfer Portal 22-23

I can't imagine Jordan would transfer. What a blow that would be to KJH. Pretty sure its declare or stay here.

Maybe the love from everyone is over what appears from the Mom's post to be a torturous decision for Jordan. I just wish the best for her whatever happens.

The problem with your first 5 is that there is no 3-point shooter--you'd have to find a player in the portal who can shoot it as well as Darby (or better)
and play better defense.

Also, Hollingshead is a better offensive player than Key--and by next year will be even more so. Doesn't give us the shot-blocking, true. I generally think shot-blocking is overrated, but given how many times we get beat off the dribble it helps to have a paint presence. However, teams pull centers away from the basket, and that makes it easier for ball-handlers to get to the basket. I'm not nearly as high on Key as many people--very big, but simply not athletic. How many made baskets did she average before getting hurt? I'd say the answer is two, maybe three.

A lot of Keys’ problem is development. She actually has a good mid range shot. She needs someone to work on her post moves, her physicality and close range shots under the basket. On close up shots she sometimes miss easy lay ups. She also needs to keep the ball high and stop bringing it down allowing smaller opponents to grab the ball or tie her up. She also needs to work on improving her hands, a medicine ball exercise will help her with that.

Her issues are that she has a hard time catching the ball, keeping the ball high when she’s under the basket, not being strong enough in the paint and commanding position, she also pulls her hands back when going for a pass or lose ball like she doesn’t want any contact, and not having a go to post move.

Let’s move on, we don’t need to talk about someone that quit on their team.

We already did a few pages back it was obvious the poster who repeated the Suarez transfer post did not care to read the existing discussion before posting .

Almost no one does any more. Even before starting a thread. Makes me feel like the "get off my lawn" old guy, but I miss the days when reading, hell at least skimming, before posting was an understood courtesy.

I imagine staff is having talks with each player individually about what their role will probably be next year. We might see a couple enter the portal this week. If they are told they will be playing a lot at a position but then we sign someone in the portal for the same position then that would make things interesting.
I wonder what they are telling JP? Especially if she feels she didn’t get a chance this past year to show what she can do. Are they telling her the starting spot is open for whoever does best going into the season or does she feel that spot is reserved for someone else at this time?

If Harlan Sanders was still a live he would declare his support for LSU. He might even give Angel a NIL deal. Video from first Tennessee game perfect for his brand.

With Horston's departure now official, Kellie will need to find a wing who can create her own shot in addition to a point guard...

Horsten was the real PG. Walker dribbled up against no pressure, gave her the ball and went to the corner.
