The 33% FG shooting is a concern, as is the 4 TO a game. But definitely fits the style of play. Hopefully Caldwell can create some efficiencies in her, solid get.

That % would have been right around 3rd best on the team (Jewel was 38%, Samara 37% and Tess 34%). 40% is the gold standard for excellence but 33% = 50% from the two point range.

Hopefully, she can boost that but 33% is sufficiently good.

I agree. She will be playing around better talent. If you can average close to 20ppg in a major conference you are a scoring threat, I believe a key to this signing is she’s either a scoring option off the bench or someone who alongside the starters can make plays one on one. Most of the offense is built off of using that spacing to create offense.
She can certainly create offense and will get looks that she likely had to work extremely hard to create that will come easier in this offense surrounding by athletes.

Donnie knows a lot more than you give him credit of knowing

Yeah, I believe him. I still think people are crossing him with that 94 Feet person.

I think Tennessee gets Janiah Barker. My first post but have a good feeling

Welcome to the forum! Great time of year to enter the fray…

Can they still reach out even if she’s a DNC

Not to her directly. That usually comes with a "contact so and so" instead. Like an agent or someone else acting as a go-between.

At least, that's what I always thought.

Very athletic pick-up can use another mentor for the young guns coming in. GLV

Teams better prepare to submit. It's coming.

she may be a DNC for a "good" reason ;o)

On edit.
You have the correct info on her 3pt shooting. It's her 2 pt percentage that's a concern.
Nya for 3 years is 36.5% from 2pt range, 33.3% from 3 and 34.9% overall.
Last year those numbers were
33.4% from 2pt range, 31.2% from 3pt range and 32.5% overall.

That 33% is overall FG. Not so good, but had SMU on her shoulders… look forward to the staff and her team mates greasing a smooth transition and fit. Great add imo

Looks good to me....

Plus, when teammates are deferring to you the ball ends up in your hands as the shot clock is expiring and you have to take a low % shot. I think she will adjust and fit in well.

Folks was talking crazy on here I see. I like how you don't back down to them. Coach Kim Caldwell and her staff has a plan and apparently it's working to a T! Nobody new who Zee Spearman was, nobody new who Alyssa Latham was, nobody new what Tay Coop would look like either under the new staff. Let me remind the ones in the back...Coach Kim Caldwell has WON every where she's been at and at every level. She also DEVELOPS players. So fans who don't believe...have a SEAT! We don't need players who want this and that type money. Nya Robertson, Kaniya Boyd, Mia & Mya Pauldo are fixing to be a problem in the SEC.

For sure! A blind man can see what Coach Kim's strategy is. She's going to RUN you to death and you will hate to play her teams.

I think she could reach her potential here honestly.

 

[VolBlocker]

Nya Robertson is a better shooter when she has her feet set by the way!

In the SMU games I watched that happened a lot. Product of bad coaching. On a better team she’ll be a better player.

Sounds like Virginia paid a boatload for S’Myah Smith. Won’t change much for them imo. She could have helped a good team but can’t save a really bad one.
