I would guess this is Naomi White. A dawg. Avery Mills. A dawg.
Watch the film. Led all freshman in scoring at 20 ppg. If you can play, you can play. If y’all think the lil PG from Vandy can play wait until you watch this kid…. electric ⚡️!
If you can shoot you can play in any league. She averages 30 minutes per game.. get that down to a little of 20 ppg and I think her efficiency would skyrocket!

Looks like White is a volume shooter. She took 18.1 shots per game to average 20.8 points. Three percentage is good. A/TO is not. Will be interesting to see how she translates, hopefully well.

She’s a guard that can dribble, and shoots 37% from 3 with volume, all things none of our guards could do last year, it’s an upgrade. But I’m about to watch a few games tonight, I’m going to start with this one.

Maybe it's already been addressed but the Crooks to Oklahoma "rumor" is bogus. At least as of now. Probably a guess because Beers went there with a similar body type. Minnesota might actually be seriously in play.

I would need to see how her turnovers occurred before I can say about the dribbling. Her freshman numbers remind me of a more efficient junior Nya at SMU. You would hope with her being a freshman that the decision making would improve.

True. The thing I look at in players is fundamentals. She has good technique and shooting form. And to end the conversation right now, she is absolutely nothing like Nya Robertson.
Naomi has elite level quickness and ball handling skills.
She also has a good nice vertical. When you watch her film, take the team name off the jersey and go watch K. Smith in the HS ranks the #1 recruit.
Same shooting form. Same acrobatic shots and turn around pull-up & fadeaway jumpers. I don’t care where she played.
And if some of these other players are translating from HS as top recruits and unranked recruits in the SEC then so will Naomi. Naomi not just an upgrade, she is a baller.
I’ll rather pay what UT is paying to add the highest scoring freshman in college than pay a #1 recruit with the same size and skillset that will demand a $1 million for the same production. This Naomi kid could be the Dalton Knecht of LV WBB.

Wasn’t too bad, it was never her having a hard time with ball pressure.

1. Was about to pass and the person wasn’t looking and she held onto the ball and traveled

2. Spinning out of a double team she carried

3. After a rebound she was stripped

4. End of game turnover when running the time out.

Thanks for reviewing. Was this just the Arizona game?

Aiee! Facts? What will happen to this forum if posters start relying on facts? Trouble, I tell you. Nothing but trouble.

I was watching some highlights. She was being face guarded and sending double teams at her. She hit a 3 well behind the line against Arizona while I was watching. She may be better than I originally thought.

If we think about it, whatever stats these players had at previous stops are kinda useless information since when they play for Caldwell they will immediately be expected to UNlearn their old game and RElearn how to play Kim’s way.

In my opinion, the best info we’ll get on any of these players is our own eye tests. We just need to find as much game film as we can on the prospects and see if we can glean enough from how they move and pass and think and, of course, if their shot mechanics are good. Do they hustle after loose balls? Can they make free throws? Can they handle the ball? Do the posts have good hands? Do they have lots of energy?

I just don’t think we can rely on stats for info about anything. Gotta just lay eyes on them and see how they move around the court.

I like to watch around 4-5 games to have a good evaluarion of a prospect, I’m starting tonight.

Correct. We can only project so much from highlights, but the small things should hopefully translate. Stats are not made in a vaccum, and we will have to see them in this system.
