  1. Some heavy action around Tech's Freshman center Khadija Faye. Vic following her on the Insta. Not declared in the portal yet though. https://texastech.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/khadija-faye/11469
  2. Yeah, this is lazy work. Didn't bother to wait for the chaos to settle, not trying to be accurate just looking for clicks. We need a piece or 4 and a few coaches to get to a one seed right now. LSU at 10 at this point is ridiculous but the 7 for Baylor feels gloriously accurate. From a site I saw it looked like only 230 or so of those transfers were from Power 5 schools and almost 900 from non P5. Don't know if I've got that right but seemed significant.
  3. Not that I have seen, certainly nothing that has been updated lately. There were NCAA wbb tourney threads.
  4. Like was said, she is a grad transfer. We don't know why she chose Georgia over Texas. All of the seniors chose to enter the portal.
  5. If Tre has to sit, and I don't see why he would not, he will have about a full year and 8 months since he left and his next college game. Nice career management dad.
  6. It's getting discouraging, we needed Soares with Ebo gone. Samb just isn't in the same league at this point, not that we have her locked in either. Not sure who we are trying to get but can't help but think Vic's attention is divided after losing all the assistant coaches. You would think some of these players would want to play with Rori, maybe we are a hard sell without position coaches in place to help people develop. We've got some good pieces but need a few more to compete with Iowa State etc. Hope AC's crap isn't being used against us.
  7. Staff on website changed today.
  8. Would we call Carter and Spann homerun hires? Lovato seemed perfect for our situation but I don't know jack about these two. Are these good coaches for position instruction? Under 30 up and coming sounds good.
  9. 22-23 Roster now up on Texassports.com minus the incoming freshman.
  10. Very classy of her to thank the Texas coaches and program, wonderful young lady. Feeling better about her at Georgia, but will still hurt to see her in a different uni. Keep wearing your collar Audrey.
  11. I feel all of our seniors represented the University well, gave their all for the program while they were here, and owe us nothing at this point. I certainly respect their right and wishes to create new opportunities and experiences for themselves - grad students often and probably wisely choose to go to a different school for their final year of basketball. That being said, it will certainly bite to see any of them in a different uniform and celebrating with a different team. They could have chosen UT but they did not, and petty though it may be I can't help but feel that tarnishes their UT legend temporarily. In a few years I will look back on them with affection but for a while less so. Not right or wrong, just how I feel about it.
  12. Yeah, her minutes started at about 36-40 and then half way through the year dropped off to about 10-12. I'm sure she wants more playing time and she is trending a bad direction. May not be correct but her sister staying may have been a factor in her leaving due to minutes available. Maybe not though. I guess Ashley wants her degree, not sure her stock is going to get any higher than it is right now.
  13. Boom! Excellent! Associate Head Coach. Really happy about this hire, she should be up to speed immediately. Vic's probably got a 300 item list for her to address already.
  14. Thanks, good point, we can hope. Also, Lattimore's numbers don't jump off the books at you either but she has massive potential if she will work for it.
  15. Not sure about this one. Tall anyway.
  16. Lauren Fields also has a Bible scripture first thing on her twitters so that's right in our coach's wheelhouse. Could make a difference.
  17. Apparently Fatou Samb (6-4 SO center, Houston, TX) out of Cal WBB may be in the mix. Was ranked in the top 100 in the 2020 recruiting class. Highly intelligent apparently.
  18. Shot 50-176 from 3 this year for .284% so not great. In-home visits with the coaches from Arizona, Kansas State, Duke, and Utah. "New Arizona women’s basketball head coach Adia Barnes (from OSU) did not waste any time. The Wildcats’ season ended on Monday, and she was already visiting possible transfers by the weekend. First in her sights is Oklahoma State junior guard Lauren Fields, and Barnes has a crucial advantage over other coaches. According to a tweet by her father, Barnes and assistant coach Ashley Davis visited the Fields family in Oklahoma. Davis was on the staff of former OSU head coach Jim Littell for six years before coming to Arizona prior to last season. Littell and the Cowgirls parted ways on March 7. Fields led the team with 15.4 points per game last season. That placed her sixth in the Big XII for points per game. Her 1.9 3-point field goals made also ranked sixth in the Big XII. Fields would bring more than just scoring to Arizona. Although she’s just 5-foot-9, she was third on her team with 4.1 rebounds per game. As a sophomore, she had 3.3 assists per game and a 1.76 assist-to-turnover ratio, but both of those numbers dropped during her junior season. Fields’ drive on the defensive end of the floor in something that will be crucial if she decides to come to Arizona. Her 2.5 steals per game put her in the 99th percentile in Division I women’s basketball. Fields ended the season with 67 total steals. That would have put her in first on the 2021-22 Arizona roster by a wide margin. The Wildcats were led by Helena Pueyo, who had 50 total steals this season." Arizona went 21 - 8 last year and lost in the second round badly to North Carolina. "Oklahoma State's Lauren Fields was honored on Monday with the announcement of the Big 12's women's basketball awards, earning second-team honors it was revealed by the league office. A junior from Shawnee, Okla., Fields ranks among the league leaders in several categories. With her 15.8 points per game, Fields ranks sixth among league players. She is second with her 2.5 steals per game, seventh in field-goal percentage (.331) and 13th in free-throw percentage (.636). Additionally, she ranks ninth with her 1.8 made 3-pointers per contest, 13th at 0.84 blocks per game and fourth in minutes played at 34.97 per contest. Her steals per game average ranks 38th nationally as well, while her 62 steals are the 66th-best total in the country. Fields has been equally impressive in the classroom, garnering first-team Academic All-Big 12 status as well as academic all-district recognition." Solid all around player wish she shot better from three. Hard to get an idea of how she ranks against other possible targets. Sounds like she plays D so that will blow up Vic's skirt. She averaged 15.4 per game - our highest scorer was Matharu at 12.0 (Lattimore was 3.2) The more I look at her the better I like her. Hell, I'm in.
  19. Geno not on the NIL but on the portal and coaching the players these days.
  20. I've now sadly become so jaded that I see Latti-no-more's dunk video as an attempt to show she is healthy to potential new suitors.
  21. Great post. I thought Jordana might redshirt due to the meniscus surgery . Don't forget Gaston, unless we lost her too.. 🙄 I guess you aren't counting on much from Kobe or Femme, I'm not either. I was hoping Jak would be ready to roll, she is the bigger get and looks very skilled. Seems to have the right work ethic. The players right now really seem to need to be the top dog at their position immediately or they want to move on. Grass isn't always greener and it takes time to develop your game at the college level. Pick a great coach and great program and at give it at least 2 years and see. I wonder if there are any programs calling up kids and getting them to transfer...
  22. This sounds like it's an individual player problem and not a program systemic issue which was the greater worry. Trust in Vic.
  23. I'll bet Jody is on the phone right now.
  24. Still could be just the loss of the position coaches but this is starting to smell bad. She was just expressing thanks for her rehab work.
