Based on current public info. that I know, our top 6 will be back:
PG - Dorsey
SG - Bracone
SF - Tucker
PF - Davis/Locke
C - Clark
Based on this, who we have on the bench and current commitments, I believe we need a transfer PG to backup Dorsey and another shooter (like or better than Bracone). We might also need another backup for Clark since what I believe will be her backup will be a Freshman.
Let's go!

You see OSA. Look at God! Just jokes. And you didn't have to get on me about Paris getting past her "man". I didn't literally mean that but you were right in pointing that out which is why I didn't reply. Can't hurt to get another one tho.

Get these girls a shooting coach and let's start working on rebuilding their mechanics now. Yes shooting coaches are important. But it's up to the athletes to put in the work to improve their overall shooting abilities. BRACONE'S problem is not her technique or mechanics in my opinion. For me it's the mental aspect that Shooters have that she was lacking. I remember as a kid at Windsor Center playing outside with Mud Tap he would never come in past the top of the key because we were smaller than him but every time he touched the ball it was nothing but net. I asked him how do you do that he said I'm a shooter and any shot that I take I have confidence it is going in. My friend Baldy asked him what do you do if you miss. He said I go back and if I have the shout I take it again because it takes Practice. That is the confidence Bracone has to get back to , Hell all of our outside,midrange and close range have to achieve. I read where Caitlin Clark takes a two thousand jump shots a day, 1,000 for mid-range and 1,000 from three-point range, that is what you have to do to improve your three-point shot or mid-range shot. Her muscle memory is already embedded the problem with our outside shooters especially BRACONE is the mental confidence in her shot. Because Shooters don't pray that their shot goes in they know the shot is going in when it leaves their hand. I don't think people realize how much the MENTAL aspect of a gifted player affects them when they are in a slump . They have to be just as mentally strong at this level as they are gifted physically. As much as I hate to say this Caitlin Clark is a good example she can miss a shot from long range but will not hesitate to pull the trigger again when the opportunity presents itself. |

We need quality back up guard for Dorsey from the transfer portal.....a super quick point guard is on my wish list.
Glad that Bracone and Tucker are coming back!

As much as I hate to say this Caitlin Clark is a good example she can miss a shot from long range but will not hesitate to pull the trigger again when the opportunity presents itself. 100% agree. there's "nothing" at all wrong with bracone's mechanics, she has great form. but there's a lot more to knocking down 3's in a college basketball game (not playing horse in the backyard) and mechanics is only one aspect of that. but the most important aspect of 3 point shooting is "repetition". like you said, caitlin (as well as "all" great 3 point shooters) jack up "thousands" of jump shots per day. steph curry does it too. so if for any reason our ladies are not getting into the gym during their free time to jack up at least hundreds of jumpers but preferably thousands, then that contributes to poor 3 point shooting in games. but that's not the only thing. you can have great mechanics and also jack up "thousands" of practice jump shots per day, but if "your legs" are not extremely "well conditioned", then that shot in a game ain't going in. all jump shots "begin and end" with your legs, even free throw shooting. so if your legs ain't in tip top shape or you've burned yourself out physically during the season, you can forget about your jump shot going in. legs are not "well conditioned"? equals jump shots won't go in no matter how much you've practiced shooting. and then lastly, is the mental aspect of shooting. when your shot doesn't fall consistently, it can get into your head mentally and i think that is "partially" bracone's problem at the end of the season. i think the 3 point winning shot against odu that bracone made went in because she didn't have time to think about it. turns out that it may have been the last 3 point shot she made this season cuz i believe she went 0-8 in 3 point attempts against troy. bottom line? shooting slumps are often not attributed to just one aspect of shooting. there are "multiple" aspects that pertain to good 3 point shooting and you have to address them all in order to be a consistent 3 point shooter... |

I think the next class is pretty much set. So y'all should go look at the players we've announced. Unless there can be more. didn't the players who entered the portal still have a year of eligibility left? so doesn't that mean that their scholarships will be "freed up" and coach rob could use them to sign new recruits? so shouldn't that free up at least 2 or 3 scholarships? I'm counting two scholarships available, currently. |

The exact I and coaches made about Levossie, Sean Kelly, & even Nyah being out. There was no backup to even remotely take care of the hall while Jordyn takes a breather. And by March, that catches up to a team |
