I'm not sure what you think the stats are saying that counters what I said about her being afraid to shoot. The starting SG averaged 6.5 ppg over those three years on a low # of shot attempts given what position she played, and shot under 40% from the field. We've all seen enough games where...

Yup. Based on post-collegiate results, there are about 50 players more deserving than KLS to be on the finalist list...and that doesn't count the ones that made the final roster. And let's be honest...KLS was very good in college, but not the kind of good that translates to great at the next...

I don't have a huge problem with Bueckers, assuming she maintains or exceeds her current level of play. She was NPOY as a freshman. Having her on the next Olympic squad is no different than Parker or Stewart making the team right after completing an outstanding collegiate career.

Ace Clement was the other Tennessee player I can think of that dolled herself up on the court...hair, makeup, nails. I remember a story from her playing time where she caught CPS staring at her freshly painted nails. She said, she wanted to look pretty, and CPS said that she didn't care if she...

They were already doing it even before they got the opportunity to monetize it. DiDi Richards and Chelsea Dungee have spent the last few years showcasing their good looks (face and body) on their IG pages, even if they weren't getting paid. If Brittany Jackson were born 20 years ago and...

I've dismissed why Katie should have been a finalist, but the same is also true for Stefanie. She's past her prime and a mediocre player at this stage of her career, and there are a lot of younger players (like Hines-Allen) who should have been in the conversation before her.

I don't think Icon is a sponsor. It sounds like they are basically a matchmaking service for athletes interested in sponsorship deals and companies looking for marketable athletes. I don't have Tik Tok either. Not my thing and I'm certainly not the target audience for such a platform, but I...

I don't think anything they are doing is putting Fresno State in a compromising position. It's not like the twins are doing porn. They do mostly dance videos while making sure to show off their good looks. They have a couple of videos where they are in their playing gear, but most of them are...

In the case of the Cavinder twins, they pulled off being the star players on their team AND social media darlings. They might have to give up other things in their lives to maintain their brand and their game, but it depends on how much work they're willing to put in.

It's always been that way throughout human history. Hell, even in the rest of the animal kingdom.

Not if the player is hot, fashionable and can dance. She would do juuuuuust fine. There are plenty of starters for top WCBB teams that wouldn't be able to monetize their likeness in any significant way just based on basketball and their looks.

Barring injury, Collier will consistently be one of the best players in the WNBA. I initially thought she was deserving of a spot on the team, but only because I assumed that Nneka withdrew because of injury. If she was picked over Nneka, then that is total bullsH*t. Napheesa can have her...

I just looked at some of the Cavinder Twins' Tik Tok videos, and all I have to say is that the basketball picture doesn't do any justice to them. At. All. I can see why they have millions of followers, and it has pretty much nothing to do with them being basketball players. They could be...

She's certainly putting in the time and getting the recruits to come on campus... more than we heard about since CKH was hired. I know the previous staff had a lot of offers out to top players, but it was probably a weird year with campus visit limitations due to COVID. In any event, Samantha...

It's probably more common than you think. There are tons of star HS players that can only score when they use their superior athleticism to get all the way to the basket, and made a living out of that prior to college and then realize it's a different story at the next level and get cold feet...
