2025 Transfer Portal

Her 2022-23 Glenville team had 12 different girls with double digit minutes, and girl 13 had 8.5mpg. So probably 'no' to three full rotations, [though I'd be happy if she'd do it just for the 1st half, at least] but yes to deep roster usage. I'd probably be wise, for players outside your top 8, to sub in girls only if the upcoming possession is on the side of the ball (offense or defense) that they're strong in. They still have to play both sides obviously, but if you are strategic about when you sub them in and out, you can have them play 5 or so extra possessions per game on their good side than their bad side, perhaps?

For last year's team, looking at the analytics, that would have involved prioritizing subbing in Boyd and Darby to maximize their offensive possessions, and subbing in Puckett and Favor to maximize their defensive possessions, as all 4 of those players had notable splits in their offensive analytics vs defense analytics.

[This especially applies to Puckett; Tennessee in SEC play evidently averaged 85.1 per 100 on offense with her on the court, contrasted with us having 6 players who were over 100 per 100, and in NCAA Tournament play averaged merely 76.5 per 100 with Puckett on offense... really needed to play Favor and Strickland more, Puckett less]

Once we got the business of the season, CKC had 7 to 8 players who took the lion share of minutes with 3 or 4 rotating in for less than 10. It may trend that way again next season but the core group might expand to 10 instead of 8.

I know she is recovering from an eye injury, but the girl was very good, and quick as a cheetah.....

I agree. But we need less breaks in play by refs. They hurt us on several occasions. Not just the fouls called, but just the overall stoppage of play.

There were times when I felt they called a foul just to give themselves a break lol

Would think it would be Ashton, but I saw something yesterday that had Tennessee on it with a mid major player didn't really understand the post.

Who is the mid major? Hope it’s Judd

You and the greatest to ever coach womens basketball have that in common.

Jumper?

 

[Deebowbear]

Looks like they wanna add a shooter

Anyone think she’s on the radar to be the final piece or think it’s maybe Judd

Laila Phelia that played for Michigan is a fantastic player. Went to Texas got injured sat out season. So what kind of player is she now would be the question? Sitting out sometimes hurts a players game.

Ashton Judd supposedly not committing until sometime in May so she is a wait and see. If we go for Phelia that would seem to make up Judd's mind for her as our roster would be full.

If were getting the Phelia that was at Michigan two seasons ago I much prefer her.
