Soooo jubilation or disappointment? Those were your words so i'm wondering which it is for you?

i'm genuinely curious. I've seen others take in it but what is yours using one of the two descriptives you used earlier ?
I’m more of a wait and see for the season kind of guy. The jubilation or disappointment was a continuation to board expectations for the first time poster comment from a previous post. It’s May, not March…that’s jubilation or disappointment season.

That doesn't mean you can't have an initial reaction to hearing the news of landing this player... be it jubilation or disappointment. That's human nature at its best.

Anyways enjoy your evening and GO LADY VOLS!!

Don’t back out. You referenced the reaction following a boom. So. What is your reaction to tonight’s news?

Not getting an answer is all you need to know, in this case.
BVS is real. Love me some Majors. He’s so much more reasonable in the softball forum. I’d assume that’s the focus of his background. Very solid takes over there. I think he’s a Holly fan…

Come at me Majors… 😎

Who is the starting SF/3G at this point? Puckett? Seems that’s the position we most need to get out of the portal next. Rickea, Key, and Hollingshead should have the 2 post positions solidified.

IMO Rickea is out of the post and onto the wing. That's where she'll play in the W, too small to post up there. Really too small to do it in college but still does an amazing job of it. Will still probably post some if/when we are in desperate need of a bucket but hopeful w a healthy Key that won't be necessary.

All the W draft analysis, which is admittedly whacked when it comes to RJ, says she needs to develop a more reliable outside shot and better handle on the wing to successfully transition to the W. Pretty sure that's a big reason she came back.

I love our post game w Key, Jill, and Karo.

Thanks for that. Couple more questions:
1) are we expecting much from Kaiya Wynn next year? Could she make a jump in minutes/production?
2) what position is Ace Strickland expected to play? Is she a PG or SG?

Just my opinion here.

Wynn is greatly beloved by everyone, which is why she is still here. But PT is going to be even harder for her now with the great enhancement, especially offensively, of the guard spot. Alot depends on how Wells and Spear play defense. If they struggle there, Wynn could find mins as a defensive/press specialist.

I believe Strickland is an SG. Like Wynn, with a deep and wide rotation in front of her in the backcourt, she'll struggle to find time. Wells/Powell in combo have PG locked, and Spear/Darby are pretty dang solid at SG. IMO AS will benefit greatly from a year of practice and spot duty on a squad that's on a whole different level than she's ever played on. She might become a future contributor if that goes well.

I’m guessing Darby will also play some 3 with Spear at the 2, Rickea at the 4, at times, to get the best 5 out there. But that will be matchup-dependent.
