I don’t think Morrow ends up at LSU her and Reese are too similar high volume rebounders. Could tank production for the other one. USC (either of them is a better fit) Strange feeling she ends up at South Carolina they have the room.

Thanks for answering that. I wanted to know if it could lead to any potential transfers. So with that maybe Cooper or Watkins. Cooper didn’t play much at all last season. She should have been a Lady Vol.

If HVL picks LSU and Morrow goes to USC, they would be pretty even and could lead to some fantastic games. Both going to LSU really shifts the balance of power, which I wouldn’t mind one bit.

Cooper is kind of in the same position that Eniya Russell was in a few years ago. They just kept getting better players at her position. But if she can learn to play PG, she'll get a lot of minutes.

Not sure I see anyone transferring, unless they get more transfers beyond just Morrow and maybe a big post for depth. G/W is where they have the most surplus players it seems.

TeHina Pao Pao visited too. So Dawn had no problem throwing her yungins under the bus. I expect transfers

Juju Watkins is a very good player but literally the USC are still questionable I’m just confused in why we are not doing better in NIL. Outside of Jackson the money the others made was really trivial with a program with a storied history why are not making sure we maintain a household name for generations to come why we are not maximizing off what Pat and the others built. The foundation was set I’m sorry but extending kellie in this type of new negotiations she just not cutting it.!

We have old guard boosters who don’t believe in supporting outside their contributions. Easier to ask for 10M over a time period and have your name associated with the school, than it is to ask for 10M to pay for kids lifestyles in college that may or may not be worth the ROI.

IMO, if Morrow wants the touches and the stats, she goes to USC

If she wants to win, build her brand and get exposure, its between LSU/SC


I could see her at any of these 3 schools, just depends on what her intentions are. SC can sell a lot of recent basketball success with a great WNBA draft class this year. LSU can sell Kim winning a natty in year 2 with explosion of NIL for their players.

If a coach isn't looking to improve their roster, then they aren't doing their job. You don't think Kellie "threw" Brooklyn Miles and Sara Puckett "under the bus" by bringing in Powell/Wells and Rickea Jackson? Or about the throw Darby under the bus by shopping for another SG like Coulibaly? If the players on a roster were delivering, then the coach would have less incentive to bring in newcomers hoping for better performance.

If Morrow just wanted the touches and stats, she would have stayed at DePaul. My guess is that she wants to play for a championship contender that will give her great national exposure. LSU would give her both and put her in the biggest spotlight. But she could also go to SC and be "the missing piece" to keep them in the upper echelon. If she goes to USC, not sure that's necessarily any better than staying at DePaul.

USC at least made the NCAAT this past year but you are spot on

Plus her and Juju could be something. But I personally think its between SC and LSU. She wants major exposure

What in heck was Holly promising when she was recruiting they should definitely get her in just to recruit. I’m gonna be a fan no matter what but ughhhhh . I want us to be back dominating.

Selling the program history and that they are the missing piece to get back to the top? Problem is that the "history" was pretty recent at the time Holly was HC. Now it seems it's just old news. They are too far removed from their glory days, and not getting enough big wins or big moments to be more appealing than some of the established old guard schools/coaches (UConn, Stanford, LSU) or shiny new things making noise (SC, Texas, UCLA, etc.).

I don’t understand a UT fan wanting other SEC schools to succeed in the tourney if we fizzle out at sweet 16. It hurts us in recruiting against them. LSU got a big big boost in recruiting by winning the natty. A transfer wanting to play in the SEC will look at them (LSU) before us.
I am sorry but if I was in the portal and want to play on a championship caliber team, I would choose LSU or SC over UT. The recent past (past 4 or 5 years) shows they (LSU and SC) can get it done.

Some actually said they don’t pick us because we make them go to class.

That ain’t the reason lol. No one would come out and actually say that in public. You wanna win and attract talent? Hire a dang winning and talented coach who can close a deal and players are attracted to their style of coaching and team play. Simple. Full stop!

I think you’re right, we need a coach that can close these deals on elite prospects.

So after Kellie's triumphant landing of... Avery Strickland... we get to see the two SEC programs ahead of Tennessee and last two national champions battle it out for the top transfer in the portal. Cool...

Crow is a dish best served cold. Let's see how all this plays out this upcoming season. GBO.
