Okot would be my pick for 3rd best post player in the SEC right now. The best post players right now are Beers and Barker.
Nobody is playing better than JB.
Her first two years in college at Texas A&M she averaged double figures in the SEC with no coaching.
JB about to eat at Tennessee. GBO🍊.

SCar pulled away at the end but Duke gave them a good fight. I respect Kara Lawson. I don’t love the style Duke plays but they might grab some big wins later on in the season.

Gamecocks v Longhorns should be an interesting matchup.

For sure. Texas is much improved from their FF team of last season imo, they are no longer one dimensional on offense. They Still play amazing defense. Have some shooters now.

You asking questions as if I’m answering to you. Post your opinion and move along with the conversation.
You must know something WNBA scouts don’t. Share it.

I was hoping for a response. That would be the start of a conversation. But, evidently, you're not up to defending, or even explaining, your statements.
Tell me, which WNBA scout said that Barker is a post player ?

Okot with her 5th double double this season, 23/15 tonight with 2 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. She seems better than Beers to me, more athletic and mobile. Better defender as well. She might be growing into one of the top centers in the nation tbh, I think I would take her over Betts right now in spite of how stupid that will sound to many. She is just faster and has better handles as well as rebounding ability tbh.

I thought the same. Not only would I take Okot over Betts, I think Oldacre will be a better pro. Betts is still a little stiff, not completely mobile.

Easy money! Barker is the best post in the SEC not named Beers and it’s not even close. Once/if Spearman gets rolling like last season then watch out!

At 6' 4" Janiah Barker would be considered a power forward in WNBA which would make her a post player. Even though her skills are adapted at most positions .

Safe to say UCLA was insanely overrated. Not a top ten team at all. LVs have a good chance against them, esp in these scheduling circumstances.

I don't know if I would go as far to say they are not a top ten team. They certainly made a huge comeback after what was just a terrible shooting first half. I think your right to drop them some, but I think they still prevail as top ten will probably have a huge game against us on their home floor. They just have to much talent to not be taken seriously by everyone.

I would add that I think Close is a terrible coach always believe she achieves less than the talent she has.

They have the talent to be 10 top for certain but with injuries and some banged up players they don’t look that great.

Gardiner in particular is a big loss for them. Pure outside shooter with great size and strength. I really thought she was their best player last year.

Kneepkens is an incredible player but you can tell she’s not 100% right now. Same with Rice.
