Yes, Kubek is a significant loss. She really seemed to thrive towards the end of the season (especially in the NCAA Tournament). I don't think that she was happy with the prospective timeshare with Merkle in the post. Maryland also has two redshirt forwards who will be competing for playing...

At no point did anyone officially connected with Maryland indicate that Okananwa signed with the Terps. If anything, the consensus among Terp supporters is that since the player left College Park without a commitment, getting her to sign with the team was highly unlikely. In any case, Maryland...

Purely as a guess, I would say Sa'Myah Smith. She is rumored to have signed for $300K. Virginia seems like an underwhelming destination for her, but a bag full of sweet, sweet, green is as good an explanation for her choice as any.

Morrow was successful against elite competition in the college game, I think her skills and motor will translate in the W. All the more so because she actually has a perimeter game. Time will tell. Iriafen is talented but the 'Stics already have Edwards, who they drafted last year, and who is...

The whole league discounted Sundell because she isn't flashy. Even if she doesn't make it in Seattle, I am certain that she will eventually have a decent career in the W if she sticks with trying to make the league. Sundell is actually a better passer and a more accurate shooter than Amoore. And...

Hey Dark Phoenix, turns out that you were correct. Mea Culpa. That said, I cannot understand how the Mystics passed on Morrow with all three of their first round picks. They now have two, near identical, forwards neither of whom is a credible outside threat. In addition, they used the third...

I don't think that there is any way that the Mystics pass on Aneesah Morrow for either Kiki Iriafen or Sonia Citron. Don't get me wrong, both Citron and Iriafen have nice games but Morrow has proven that, undersized or not, she is a beast on the boards with quality offensive moves against all...

I think that Shyanne Sellers at 6 is based on her being fully healthy (which she hasn't been since January). She played the second half of the season with a knee injury that limited her to under 75% effectiveness. She hobbled through the B1G and NCAA Tournaments with 1 to 2 weeks of rest before...

The way the Thibaults handled Delle Donne during the 2023-24 offseason was contemptible. They could have let her go to the Aces with grace but held on for a trade return that, in the end, never materialized. Not many in Washington shed any tears when both the father (GM) and the son (head coach)...

No thanks. What Maryland needs after having added Merkle and Garzon is a quality point guard to distribute. Fulwiley is supremely talented but she is careless and not really much of a distributor. I doubt that Heckel is looking at Maryland as a possible landing spot but her skillset (great...

Greatest roster ever assembled??? Which UCLA players would have started for UConn this past season? Betts over El Alfy and possibly Rice over Chen. Over the entirety of the season the only Bruin who was consistently elite is Betts. Londynn Jones is a liability when she is not hitting 3s...

Howell is from Idaho, I doubt that she ends up in the SEC. Of course, money talks, so anything can happen. Odd to see her transfer in the first place, she started by the end of the season and was an absolute lock next season with JuJu out and von Oelhoffen leaving. It was going to be her...

Actually, yes. Baranczyk runs a fast-paced offense and in her system Oklahoma jacks up a lot of threes. On the other hand, if she is expected to play 35 minutes or more per game Beers will likely need to improve her conditioning. Regardless, she is a major get for a team that previously lacked...

Ogunbowale is another inefficient volume scorer (whose shooting percentages appear to be heading in the wrong direction this season). Fortunately for her, she is an ideal situation in Dallas with the team constructed around her. Not that the Wings will win anything with her shooting so much...
