    That would be annoying.  Just give them the trophy then.  

    Would suck for freshman Tec (6'5 center), Kitts (6'2 forward), incoming freshman Joyce Edwards (6'3 forward, #3 recruit). 

    But I have also seen UConn fans quite confident and her name linked to Iowa as well.  

    That's the only worry with Beers at Texas.

    I know Jones announced she's returning but she would not start over Beers. Not sure how Jones would react to Beers at Texas.

    I'm surprised you guys are concerned about Gaston leaving. I didn't watch more than half the games, so some of y'all saw a lot more of the team than I did and maybe that's my problem. I felt like she disappeared for entire quarters or halves sometimes. My view was that they could be better at that spot. That considered, I know I'm not some sort of WBB analyst or something.

    I think the problem with Gaston/Jones is they're both good but neither are game changers. Really high floor with those two but there are potentially game changers in the portal. Texas has game changers at guard (Rori) and wing (Booker) next year. 

    The other issue with Gaston/Jones is both have a pretty extensive injury history. I say it's very unlikely both those 2 would ever be healthy together for a full season.

    I wasn't thinking we'd see Gaston leave. Certainly would rather she didn't, but so it goes. Maybe Vic is planning to plug Carlton in there. 

    It was pretty obvious we were looking to upgrade at the 5 when Blair Schaefer started following the two Oregon State bigs (Beers and Gardiner).

    Both of which are better than Gaston and probably even Jones. 

    Beers is the best player in the portal.

    I completely agree.  They're the devils we know.  People get frustrated with Mitchell's play, but he was much better this year than last.  Everyone is dazzled by his athleticism and expect more than he is ready to give.  Hunter mostly needs to mature.  Both are capable of being solid contributors that we don't have to hope might work out like most portal guys.

    I think this is the main problem. Most would be fine having Mitchell and Hunter back if they are just 1) role players and 2) don't require much NIL allocation. 

    Seems unlikely but I think it was @closetojumpingthat suggested Mitchell looked around last year and didn't get any takers at the price he wanted. Maybe the same is true this cycle.

    If they take 2/3 from ULL this weekend, they’re hosting. Keep them out of our regional and please don’t match them up with us in a super 

    I would not want to play Texas State at all in a super. 

    You would have to beat them 2 out of 3 games where Mullins will likely pitch 90% of those innings. That's a difficult task.

    Oh I am 100% on trying to land Beers, because we already have the relationship with her.  I also hope that the work Vic put in on Spear pays off if she decides not to stick around for the new coach. 

    The only issue with those 3 above is they are all potentially better than Jones. That's if Iriafen can play the 5 (she's similar size as Gaston). 

    I don't know how these type players impact Jones but she's been splitting minutes with a big since she's been here.

    She always had an issue staying healthy at Texas.  She's going to a starting 4 or 5 somewhere else, just hopefully not somewhere like LSU or another big time contender like UConn.  Maybe she stays in state to play somewhere like TCU or Baylor or UH. 

    It's all dependent on what happens with Beers and Iriafen because if those two enter the portal there are going to be some legit bigs in the portal. 

    If Beers, Iriafen, and Gardiner are all in the portal we really have to try and land one of these. We are talking two All-American caliber players and then Gardiner is potentially an All-Conference level player.
