Her numbers are definitely going to go down here just because she won't get the playing time she got there. I just hope she can keep the efficiency cause it doesn't matter how much one person scores as long as the entire team is efficient as a group. Last year we had like two efficient players everyone else well below.
Well when a freshman like 4 Star Aubery Galvan 5" 6" Vandy, SEC Freshman of the year, who a lot said yeah she put up good numbers vs high schoolers but she will be in the SEC and will hardly get a shot off playing with Blakes. Besides she wasn't a McD All American. So to come on here an accentuate the negative & eliminate any positive IMO is telling.
situationally true but is there a ceiling? Meaning a point at which you do have to balance and offset it with size?
It's being realistic. UCLA, SC and UConn are so good every year because they have really talented players, and many of them are also bigger/athletic than most other players. Jimmy's and Joe's matter at the end of the day. It's great that we got a really good shooter, but we need to pump the brakes a little. Her having the best shooting percentage in the country from playing in the Big Sky is not guaranteed to automatically translate to the SEC — it probably won't.
Sometimes we set players up in a tough spot with outsized expectations. When those expectations aren’t grounded in reality, the letdown on the other side can be just as extreme and that’s often what drives the tear down. People feel disappointed because the player didn’t match what was projected, not necessarily what they actually are.
Appreciate your effort and of course what you’re saying is true. But we’ve kind of low-key agreed not to talk reality this cycle. It’s way too depressing.Lol folks working so hard towards acceptance.
Right. Versatility. Flexibility. Capable of different approaches because of a roster well balanced in size. Sounds like a winner to me. I’m so tired of a coach with tunnel vision.
The second half of the season was a huge step up in competition. Night and day between the first and second halves. That and a hard knock on the head is what happened to Mia
Apparently, you can’t even compliment a player but say you would like for them to shoot better from 3 without many coming to “well actually….” I feel sorry for some of these girls coming in if people don’t start to see a teeny bit of reality that everyone needs adjustment and to better themselves. I know the first moment these players start to shoot a little poorly, turn the ball over a few times, force a shot, or look the slightest bit uncomfortable then some of these posters will start to question their entire character.
