If that happens then Freshies pt. 2Just dreaming but if we do get Cambridge and Edwards…. “Hey Kateryna Koval, hey Justice Carlton come play with us
2024-2025 WBB Team (2022-present)
- Thread starter TN-Gamecock
- Start date
They were a great tandem together with handles, passing and shooting abilities. It was almost unfair they were on the same team.
Not just impressive because she's a rookie, but also because she's surrounded by mostly mediocre offensive players. She's only going to get more efficient as the Fever amass more talent around her.
I've had a few debates about the comparison between Aliyah and Caitlin Clark on the internet. I always point out that Aliyah will be the superior player at the next level. Clark will be awesome on offense, though 30 year pros will get physical with her, but she won't be able to hide on defense in the WNBA.
I used to believe there was a racial component to the media's love affair with Clark, but Breanna Stewart is arguably the best basketball player in the world (along with A'ja of course) and she doesn't get near as much love as Clark. So I don't know.

At least 4 out of that 5 will be Hall of Famers. So Boston being in that company is a great sign.
Stewie has been pushed pretty heavily in both college and in the WNBA and rightfully so. But she has two things working against her. She doesn't have "the right look"(that the media prefers) and she has no personality. Which is why a Sabrina Ionescu, who also lack a personality but has a "more preferable look" has been pushed more than most despite not doing much of anything career wise for that attention.
With very little insider knowledge I feel confident Edwards winds up here. After that
we will sign at least 2 maybe 3 more. It has the possibility to be our best class ever
Good points. I dare say Kelsey Plum is more successfully marketed than Stewart for the same reason as well.
Observing the Edwards family social media, they are definitely into attending Joyce's games, and that includes soccer and volleyball in addition to basketball.With very little insider knowledge I feel confident Edwards winds up here. After that

I could see Edwards going to a place like Duke, but I would be shocked if she went much further from home than that. So, yeah, I think we are in a good shape with her.
I also think our program is a good mesh for her personality. She's much closer to Aliyah Boston in demeanor than she is to someone like Angel Reese.
Aliyah Boston was #3 in her class from Gurlz Hoops 100. Kate Koval is now ranked #3 in her class from Gurlz Hoops 60 (soon to be 100). Very interesting. Hope that's a sign from the basketball heavens.
Soooo……. How much will the Cavinder twins be worth in 5 years
? Very snarky question, so have fun with your responseIdk I guess it depends how well the WWE features them. They could make a pretty penny if done right. The Bella Twins is a blueprint of what they could be.
New hoopgurlz rankings. Guess this is what ballout was referring to. Kiyomi McMiller dropped a bit too

Joyce is #1 again and Jaloni Cambridge drops to #3. Our alleged 5 star that's visiting, McDaniels jumped up from 18 to 11th. A lot of great uncommitted talent that have interest in the program.

Bro sarah strong is my favorite player in this recruiting class. Her game is so nice, she 6’2 that can play point forward and can shoot.
Just following her on twitter she like LSU AND UCON if I had to predict it might be LSU
Well dang it...Koval just dropped 2 spots in the latest ESPN Gurlz Hoops 100 which was just released...
Not surprisingly, Wilson was the winner in this matchup with 27 pts. on 10-18 shooting and 10 reb. Boston had 7 pts, 3-4 shooting and 4 reb. Saxton did not play. Aces get the win 84-80.
LSU actually loses one to the portal. Guess she see's the writing on the wall. Smart move.

I'm glad you at least see the convenience (I'd come a little short of saying "speciousness") of this complaint, especially coming from us. Anyhow, we'll see what results from it.

She was not a top 100 recruit and would have never seen meaningful minutes. Hope she lands some place that can use her skills
Boston is thriving without being smothered at all times. She's currently shooting at an unreal 70% for the season.
She still may, she just hasn't announced that she is. They get unlimited visits so it's not a done deal yet. The visits that were announced were just her ones planned for September.

Also worth noting, the staff is very tight lipped about who comes and visits. We only find out if the recruit wants other to know or if someone randomly spots them.
For example no one knew Sakima Walker was even on our radar until Chloe Kitts shared a story of Walker's visit.
On3 need to do better following college women’s basketball recruiting just like men’s basketball and football.

It’s a pretty good look at our portal players. It is however typical of how people not really familiar with the program think about us. The portal is now the eye Candy that everyone’s focus is drawn to.How transfers can help South Carolina WBB navigate loss of generational class

Paopao and Walker are pieces that are valuable but there is so much talent on the roster. It’s been there learning and waiting its turn. We won’t lack for scorers, rebounders or defenders. What we don’t know yet, is who are the leaders, the go to scorers, the glue players.
Good article on our trip to Paris. Corporate sponsors are picking up the tab for pretty much everything except plane fare, for traveling party of 40. It’s from the State but on Yahoo, so no pay wall.
Looks like player start back on monday from what I can glean from social media. Breezy Hall and Malaysia Fulwiley have been in Miami the past few days at some sort of mini camp. Tessa Johnson has been saying some good byes to friends and such on instagram and she may already be in town.

Should I be nervous that Edwards is reading a book? I mean....USC is my alma mater, and I love to read. lol
Seriously, though, what other schools are in the running? I assume places like Stanford or Duke, based on the vibe I get from her. But I really have no idea.
I'm glad she is going be on the U19 USA team with Chloe Kitts. Chloe is very personable. Along with Raven, she's one of our more eager recruiters.

IMO Raven Johnson will be the leader of this team and maybe Bree hall.
Oh you just made me more nervous and her GPA is 5.04. Hopefully she wants to stay closer to home her mom loves SC if you follow her on Twitter.
Yeah, Raven is my guess for captain. Breezy if there are two.
I agree about Raven. About 10 games into the season you could see her confidence grow and in turn her leadership became more and more prevalent. At that point I felt we had found our leader for the next 3-4 years.
