Why not VT as a 1 seed?my predictions for the final 1 thru 8 Sunday night
1/ SC
2/ Indiana
3/ UConn (with a BE tourney championship - also sets up a potential final game rematch)
4/ Iowa
5/ Virginia Tech
6/ Stanford
7/ Maryland
8/ Utah
LSU feels like overall 10 to me . also if Crème’s bracket prediction for the Gamecocks is close to correct, go ahead & book your flight to Dallas today.
let’s see how close I am
They very well may be . 4 / 5 is basically interchangeable as the 5 is the 2 seed in 4’s bracket
She got injured preseason and is taking a redshirt. They would be VERY tough if she was playing.
Huh? I'm confusedShe got injured preseason and is taking a redshirt. They would be VERY tough if she was playing.
In other news Saxton announced she is coming back for a sixth year
Let’s just say @DarkCock doesn’t have a love affair with Saxton’s playing timeHuh? I'm confused
For the longest time I thought the same as well. I feel sorry for her, it's been alleged that her health was neglected at her old school which is why she transferred . She nearly died and went to VT and then this happens. I don't blame her for not having trust in any coaches now.
It's crazy she's a great coach and she recruits well but she can't retain players to save her life. Even this season I thought would be a down year with their max exodus of players and no healthy post players but they are still a top 10 team.
Because of your post I looked over at UMD site. I totally missed it, Angel Reese played 2 seasons at UMD yet is listed as a Sophomore on LSU Site. She did not redshirt.
Great points!
She was hurt most of her freshman year so maybe it is considered a redshirt. From everything I have read she plans to go pro after next year.
She played the first 5 of her Fr season and then the last ten, so I think that rules out redshirt.
Yes Juniors like Kamilla are the last group that are eligible players eligible for a Covid year. I do find Angel's class status interesting but no way of knowing if that's why she is ineligible for NPOY honors.

It is really amazing. But she can tell them: The #1 recruit in the country came off the bench her entire Freshman season. Now she has a statue outside...Six wins away: How unbeaten South Carolina stacks up against the perfect teams of the past
The Gamecocks haven't lost in a year. As they close in on a perfect season, it's easy to see similarities with undefeated teams of the past and how Dawn Staley has them ready for a run at a repeat.
Nice story and good analysis and compliments on Staley's performance as a coach.
What's as impressive as anything in Staley's work is how she's been able to get buy-in from all players on what their specific role is and why it's important. That's never been an easy part of coaching, and it's harder than ever now because transferring has never been easier. Under Staley's leadership, the Gamecocks have been unified, driven and focused -- and nobody is complaining about playing time or how they are used. Staley's players respect what she's telling them about how to get to another national championship. -- Voepel
Credit for the improvement mostly goes to Zia, Brea and Cardoso for being better on the offensive end than last year. If those 3 plus Boston play 35 minutes in a game, I don't think we can be beat. Doesn't matter who plays PG; both are good enough and understand their roles.
Hopefully Joyce Edwards joins the party....Six wins away: How unbeaten South Carolina stacks up against the perfect teams of the past

I’m hoping
Edwards pulls a Kitts and she is here next fall. She is very bright and has nothing to prove on the HS levelLatest on EdwardsI’m hoping
News you may missed and/or not really cared about part Deux
Eniya Russell might be a starter at this rate.
Dawn rarely misses a chance to say nice things about just about everyone. Walker is the same year as Raven, so I wonder how hard Dawn pushed for her.
I'm not sure Elzy will survive. Something very wrong going on with that program. Maybe she wasn't forcefull enough in the beginning to establish her culture. If you don't do that early, almost impossible to do it later.
I don’t think Elzy survives unless she scores huge in the portal.
