  1. Barker, Gardiner, and Beers are all better than anybody we've lost. We just need to land one of these and then add another role player.
  2. Barker would be nice. She's a tweener that's capable of playing the 4 and 5. Also, she's really athletic so fits well in Vic's full-court pressure. There are several really good bigs in the portal. Barker, Gardiner, and Beers are all considered top 10 transfers.
  3. I think I actually prefer Gardiner over Beers. She's a tweener that can play the 4 and 5. Plus, her shooting splits are insane.
  4. Top 10 recruits aren't going anywhere to sit on the bench. The thing with Carlton is her strength is finishing at the rim. Which was probably our biggest weakness last season.
  5. It's going to be interesting who starts 1-3. We have 5 legit options. It's a good problem to have though.
  6. Pope to Texas. Our backcourt is pretty insane. We are a big away from likely being pretty damn good.
  7. I think we are perfectly fine at PF. I already envisioned Muhammad being 3rd on the chopping block at PF behind Moore and Carlton. What we really need is a 5 and then another tweener big that can give you a few minutes at the 4 and 5.
  8. I don't think Muhammad is much of a head-scratcher. Muhammad's minutes drastically declined at the end of the season once Moore was fully healthy and she won't start next season. She didn't play over 17 minutes in the last 9 games. Unfortunately, it's difficult to convince players like Muhammad to be a 15-18 minute role player when they can start at a lot of different schools.
  9. These are the types of decisions you have to make if you want to win. It brings me back to Dillon Mitchell last year in men's basketball. I think it's a very similar situation. Decent player but not worth the type NIL he wants and there are probably pretty big upgrades out there.
  10. Why would you ever ignore helobious? Just look at his predictions and the opposite will be true.
  11. This is the biggest issue with Avila. I don't know how he can defend on ball screen actions against better athletes. This is why Groves was almost unplayable at times at OU. Teams. at the P5 level, would put Avila in ball screen action until he proves that he's capable of defending it.
  12. I know we are splitting hairs here but I don't know how anyone could consider Brooks a guaranteed starter after the Spring game.
  13. Beers ending up at OU over UCONN or South Carolina is a win for us IMO. Those two teams are our biggest competition for a title next year.
  14. I guess Muhammad could still transfer but keeping her and Holle would be such a huge win. Both those players could start for a lot of teams. Holle was playing like an all-conference player at the end of last season and she's going to come off the bench in all likelihood. The biggest issue next year is going to be figuring out minutes distribution and who starts.
  15. 1-3 next year. PG (Harmon): All American Honorable Mention, Big 12 defensive player of the year, and First Team All Big 12 in '22-23 before injury. SG (Phelia): First Team All Big 10 this past season. SF (Booker): All-American and Big 12 player of the year this past season. That's pretty damn salty.
  16. The issue is it looks like the women's team outscored their projections.
  17. I don't think it impacts the projections. They were ranked #1 so the projections had them slotted to finish first.
  18. Chavez is not only the #1 recruit but is looking like a generational talent. A year of Chavez, Harmon, and Booker would be so crazy.
  19. The big thing Kent provides is he's excellent at moving off-the-ball/back door cuts. We had a major issue at getting to and finishing at the rim this past season. Kent scored on 37/41 dunks and 149/193 close shots. He's very efficient at the rim and he gets to the rim much more than any player we had on last year's roster. Now we will see how that translates at the P5 level but he's a type player we definitely need on the roster.
  20. The scary thing about this Texas team is the fact Guitierrez is only a Sophomore and Kavan is only a Freshman. The pitching is set up for a couple more years. Maybe she's fine with her role but I would be shocked if Simpson is on the roster next year. It's unfortunate that Simpson has such command issues because her stuff is really good (as you can see with her ERA). You just can't trust her because of the walks.
  21. 13 wins in a row and really haven't been challenged in a few weeks. This looks like the team we thought could win a national title. I guess it's time to prove it.
  22. Especially when big time programs were recruiting Larry.
