  1. I think a lot of people fail to realize CC was just the start of an influx of a different type of talent entering the WNBA. I think the entertainment factor of the league will continue to increase and it won’t be on the back of one single player. I love the Portland logo.
  2. I happened to stumble upon the state of Georgia recruit rankings and was surprised to see the majority of the top 10 going to a school other than Georgia. I know they recruit more nationally, as we do, which is why their is less emphasis on locking down the state these days, but still found it surprising.
  3. I know people have various opinions on Kobe and it seems he is ranked anywhere from 1-12 depending on who is giving their opinion but Bleacher Report accepting someone's list that has him at 18 seems off. But Kobe's name seems popular these days for clicks so that might be the motivation.
  4. I actually meant *least favorite. She built a whole block worth of houses yesterday and was even worse on defense. Paige deserves better.
  5. Evaluation/development at the RB position hasn’t really been a problem here and we have the draft results to prove it.
  6. Ogunbowale is one of my favorite players to watch. If her shot isn’t falling, and its often not, she offers nothing else.
  7. I know Paige has already broken the 200 points 50 ast mark, and will/have probably break a few more. Also Fudd, JuJu, Miles etc will be coming to the league soon as well. The WNBA is going to have a talent infusion in the years to come.
  8. Y’all seriously need to watch more teams/players. The number is a bit higher than 4 or 5. I love watching CC play and I love her style of play, but so far she has not transcended the league or the sport with her talent. I think she’ll end up a top ten womens basketball player of all time but the jury is still out if she is a MJ/Kobe/LBJ/Steph type or a Barkley/Westbrook/Harden/CP3 type. All of which are great players, but not all of them winners.
  9. Casual fans would know/realize there are other teams/players worth watching other than Fever/Clark. There are multiple posters in this thread that refuse to watch unless it’s Clark and she is getting treated like a princess. So get the fuck outta here with your shit. They aren’t casual fans.
  10. White needs to let the Fever run more instead of this inefficient half court offense. I give her credit for improving their defense but she needs to let the offense open up some. Valks are stacked with shooters.
  11. The casual fan ≠ Caitlyn Clark stans that refuse to become casual fans because CC isn’t being treated as a holy grail.
  12. I’m pretty sure those random 10 people on the street are also not active on a message board in a thread in reference to the WNBA. I’m sure it makes some of you sleep better at night to know you can get online and boast about being ignorant towards women’s basketball. Very macho of you all.
  13. I don’t think losing Ojo is that big of a deal. Landing him would have been good for the optics but I would have had him on bust watch. In regards to the “NIL” situation I think it is wishful thinking that mismanagement of funds will catch up to these schools at some point. I’ll believe it when it actually realizes itself. Regardless it’s July and Sark normally figures this shit out by December.
  14. Imagine not knowing one of the lead guards on a team that won a championship back to back recently and almost 3peated and is still one of the better guards in the league today and then think people should give a shit about your opinion on the matter. I guess you Clark stans assume everyone is as ignorant in regards to the WNBA as most of you are. So far the only argument in this discourse has been they should have voted her first, well because she is CC. She has missed half the season and believe it or not there are players that have been better than her this season.
  15. I’m glad this kid’s brain isn’t scrambled. He was a tough SOB but I wish he learned how to slide/avoid hits.
  16. I honestly don’t think the players hate CC, but they probably can’t stand some of her fans like a few of the fuck faces in here that bitch every time the other players aren’t groveling at her feet. Thus I think that frustration at times gets taken out on CC. As you stated she is a fucking captain and there was no way she wasn’t going to make the All-Star game, but fuck the other players for actually voting on merit instead of just voting CC first because apparently she is carrying them on her back and they wouldn’t be getting a paycheck if not for her.
  17. Seems like other schools are immediately reallocating NIL funds that free up when they lose out on a recruit to increase the offer for another target and Texas remains firm on the initial offer, at least for now.
  18. The players vote isn’t a popularity vote, that is what the fan vote is for. She has been hurt damn near half the season and kind of in a shooting slump for the last month. I don’t see anyone on that list that is egregiously ahead of her.
  19. Honestly not sure why anyone would have believed this, for the last few years the 9.95ers always sell we are getting everybody, in fact the staff will likely have to tell some high level players no, then OVs begin and we’re lucky to get half of the haul they tried to sell us on. Regardless I’m not worried about recruiting in June.
  20. The kid is currently committed, had to be an oversight.
  21. Clark having a hell of a game so far in her return as well.
  22. As Paige blossoms into the player we know she can be Arike, will have to sacrifice not being such a chucker anymore because that won’t be conducive to winning. If she can’t change her game I hope they get rid of her. The coach needs to start reining her in.
  23. Glad to see Bueckers back, and she had a monster game. Maybe that break due to being sick did her some good.
  24. Benson wasn’t a ranked #1 in his recruiting class.
  25. You are selective choosing the worst of the sport to form your opinion. You’ve clearly stated that yourself. That is a you problem, not a WNBA/womens basketball problem.
