  1. I've seen some of those. She's really good and will be a solid spoke on the wheel for Vic. Your point about all-star settings is valid.
  2. Aaliyah Crump looked decent. Wasn't phenomenal but OK. Started for the East, hit a couple shots, made a nice pass or two and grabbed a few boards. But her squad was overwhelmed by the size, skill and intensity of the West, which jumped out to that big early lead and pretty well held it. Most of the East's effective play came from its reserves, including Makeer (SCar commit). She'll be a handful under Staley. Meanwhile, Chavez also lived up to her billing. She didn't win MVP (that went to UCLA-bound teammate Betts), but she took the female 3-point contest. On a positive note, as a Texas fan I did enjoy the couple deep air balls she launched in the game.
  3. Crump's team (East) can barely even get a shot off. The few they've launched have gone astray. Now an 18-0 lead for the West (with Chavez). 😕
  4. Aaliyah vs. Aaliyah (sort of) cranking up now on The Deuce. Hopefully our girl shines. https://africa.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43584718/girls-mcdonalds-all-american-game-analysis-2025
  5. Stud foundational piece. Now don't let Conwell end his visit without committing.
  6. The way it's gone so far, put 27 wherever he wants to play and sort out the rest.
  7. Matt Painter is Dabo's much bigger brother by another mother.
  8. As the old saying goes, water seeks its own level.
  9. HVL and Prince being totally (wo)manhandled by our D was so satisfying to watch. Shoutout to everyone involved in making that happen. And huge props to the ladies who made clutch shots at key points. Despite that lockdown D, the outcome hung in the balance because we again missed a ton of chippies. The baseline jumpers from Rori and Maddie, that 3 from Lee and the several clutch scores and steals from Kyla were so critical. Just a gutsy effort all around.
  10. I was thrilled when she arrived. I was way more thrilled when she departed.
  11. Yes, her Texas tournament record was better. Then again, elite recruiters in the women's game often have an advantage over their counterparts on the men's side: The female talent pool is thinner, and Cinderellas are thus more rare. But I digress. Neither of those coaches was an overachiever at Texas, to put it gently. Glad they're both long gone.
  12. Bingo. If we're seeking an NCAAW corollary to Shaka's failures with elite talent, Aston's on my short list. At Texas, she was in many ways his mirror image.
  13. I'm not the biggest Miles fan out there, but she's good at some things we've had trouble getting out of our guards. She shoots 40% from deep, passes well and rebounds. Maybe with Phelia's hopeful return our guards do that as a group next year, in which case we won't miss Miles, Chavez or anyone else.
  14. Olivia Miles might make a nice 1-year consolation prize for missing out on AC.
  15. Rori gets to slap the sticker tonight.
  16. They want HVL to be Bueckers. News flash: She ain't.
  17. Preston needs to call a halt to those HVL desperation drives.
  18. They held us to 23 points despite getting called for only 3 fouls in the half? I'd say it's more like we held ourselves to 23.
  19. Can't recall the last time I was this angry about a halftime lead. I know we're putting everything into D, but you can't shoot like that and expect to win a game down at the Y.
  20. We should be up 20. Instead, it's a dogfight.
  21. Our offense will be the death of me. And the team.
