Looks like Morrow is going to Iowa.
We should know definitively within the next few days.

If that's the case, then good for us that she doesn't end up at SC or LSU.

Curious who is reporting this?

 

[Orange007]

Kim will do exactly what she did at Baylor. Recruit over top players no matter who they are or what it takes. Old Baylor rosters are filled with players “who could have been” a star at a different school.

 

[Voluble2]

Nah, I've listened to/seen several post draft discussions about next yrs class and they don't rate Rickea highly if at all. That Locked On one rated that Schere girl at KY in the top 20 but not Rickea! Of course they also called Olivia Miles a generational talent so . . .

Yeah, that is crazy.

But she does have a lot to work on with her game. Too much of the time her handle is loose and her dribble is high. She can get better at rebounding and defense. And as mentioned, a few more percentage points on her three pt shot would make a world of difference. She could probably stand to vary her offensive moves a little too since at the end of last year teams were camping out trying to get her high dribble off the spin move.

So there is lots for her to tighten up. In a lot of ways, she and Horston were mirror images of each other in that what one was good at the other was weak at.

No one has reported it because it hasn't happened, yet. But there is talk, that I take seriously, that Iowa is a strong favorite.
Just reporting what I hear.

That would be good. In the old days, a team like Iowa might get a great player like Clark but never win anything because one player can't do it all. Now that great player can attract other great players and those teams will have a real shot at winning it all. I like to see that.

The same, limited number of teams can't just stockpile talent anymore either without some of it moving on for more playing time so parity should improve. The portal has provided a lot of benefits.

Don’t trash Queen Kimberly here too much you may upset a certain group of “LV” fans

 

[creekdipper]

Good lord Reese and HVL would be absolutely lethal together...

One of them would not survive the encounter, that's for sure.

that just screams locker room problems.

Her handle needs some improvement, as for rebounding I think she can rebound very well, I did notice she would focus on the break and would take off very quickly.

[Orange_Mamba]

Dang it man.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Why would u say that, Morris and Johnson are very strong willed players and they all love a each other, now what I think is if Morrow goes to Iowa her or Clark won’t survive that encounter, since they both like to take 20 plus shots per game.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

that just screams locker room problems.

Doubt any problems will arise, as long as HVL knows who team it is and falls in line, which I’m sure she would if she decided to go there.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Dang it man.

Players we need are still on the board.

Players we need are still on the board.

Like who?

 

[DueTail]

She also isn't afraid to dig into them when they aren't doing what they are supposed to do, will HVL be able to handle it like Flau'Jae, Morris and the others were?

I don't see her reacting well to that approach.

 

[DueTail]

If HVL truly is ring chasing, she has to know playing on another top team means she won't be able to jack up 30 shots a game IMO

I suspect even with her big ego and personality she knows this. Also you don't need giant stats to be recognized or to get drafted where you want. SC/Boston is the perfect example. Its in HVL's best interest IMO to not only score but better her teammates around her. That looks more valuable to scouts than jacking up 30 shots and 20 points a game to me. Wherever she goes, this is the opportunity to expand her game all around rather than being a one player show.

I don't disagree with your assessment, but if it's in your DNA it's hard to alter the inevitable. Having said that, I'm still baffled why she left.

 

[Voluble2]

She can play good defense too when she sets her mind to it. She just isn't consistent with that and her rebounding. I wasn't implying she does all of these things poorly, only that there is lots of room for improvement.

Hailey Van Lith Stats | ESPN

Destinee Wells Stats | ESPN

As far as Van Lith vs Wells we did fine. Van Lith comes in with a 1.16 and 48 while Wells comes in with a 1.33 and 53. So Wells was the far more efficient player. They go about the same in assists, rebounds, and turnovers.

In their head to head Wells goes for 20 on just 10 shots attempts Van Lith scored 25 on 22 shot attempts. Van Lith gets a lot of her scoring from shooting the ball so much 41 percent from the field for the season.

We could match up quite well with LSU or almost anyone if we could just get two strong players one that plays inside and one great rebounding guard that can also shoot the outside shot somewhat efficiently.

Were going to be better from the three Wells went for 45 percent last season and is a career 40 percent shooter. There is Tess around 40 percent and Ace is capable of the high 30's even though she shot 34 percent as a freshmen last season.

I think we take two more players on the roster really don't want to go in any season with less than 12. Probably see Edie get a scholarship for next season as well.

Dude, I was driving the Wells bandwagon before she even committed to Tennessee. Having said that, she ain't in the same stratosphere as HVL...

 

[Deebowbear]

I have no faith that we get one

 

[Darth_Vol]

That's the sticking point. She is NOT trying to be the second fiddle. She's an ALPHA dog.

That's why she is leaving an elite program with cushy NIL deals where she was top dog?

These tales of impending implosion in the bayou if HVL commits there are greatly exaggerated. Her game is the PERFECT complement to Reese's...

That’s a matter of opinion. HVL is a volume shooter. extreme one at that. I think Wells will be a better fit for us and a better asset to someone like Rickea. We took the one we needed imo.

It is? HVL will be a high WNBA draft pick. I love Wells, but she won't...
