re: WBB will need to hit the portal now.

to add to that - morrow is the projected #2 wnba draft pick next year. i think she’s phenomenal. she’s quiet and gets her work done. she was playing next to angel reese this season and still managed to average 16 points and 10 rebounds. she also has an amazing ability to get in passing lanes and make steals. it was a huge win that she transferred here last year.

No, it's reversed. Men's get 13 and 15 for women's.

I mean Morrow scored in double figures in 33 of the 37 games this year and had double digit rebounds in 22 games this year. Now sure how that's inconsistent. Oh and she averged 2.5 steals a game too.

Agreed, looking closer, this years team is already much more complete.

Lost:
Angelica Velez, 5’7 G So (1.2ppg)
Janae Kent, 6’1 G So (1.6ppg)
Kateri Poole, 5’8 G Gr (4.5ppg 22-23) 4GP
Hailey van Lith, 5’7 G Gr (11.6ppg, 3.6apg)
Angel Reese, 6’3 F Sr (18.6ppg, 13.4rpg)

Returning:
Mikayla Williams, 6’0 G So (14.5ppg, 2.9apg)
Flau’jae Johnson, 5’10 G Jr (14.9ppg, 5.5rpg)
Last-Tear Poa, 5’11 G Sr (4.9ppg, 3.0apg)
Aneesah Morrow, 6’1 F Jr (16.4ppg, 10.0rpg)
Aalyah Del Rosario, 6’6 C So (4.7ppg, 3.5rpg)
Sa’Myah Smith, 6’2 F Jr (11.7ppg, 7.6rpg) 7GP

Amani Bartlett, 6’3 F Sr (0.8ppg)
Izzy Besselman, 5’10 G Jr (0.3ppg)

Added:
Shayeann Day-Wilson, 5’6 G Sr (11.9ppg)
Kailyn Gilbert, 5’8 G Jr (15.1ppg)
Jersey Wolfenbarger, 6’5 G/F Sr (3.9ppg 22-23)
Mjracle Sheppard, 5’10 G So (5.0ppg)
Jada Richard, 5’6 G Fr (28.2ppg) #90espnW

Rotation may look something like:
G: Day-Wilson | Poa | Sheppard | Richard
G: Williams | Gilbert
G/F: Johnson | Wolfenbarer
F: Morrow
F: Smith | Del Rosario

Bartlett | Besselman

Likely add 1-2 F as mentioned and this team is dangerous. Top of the board has to be:

Raegan Beers, 6’4 F Jr (17.5ppg, 10.3rpg)
Kiki Iriafen, 6’3 F Sr (19.4ppg, 11.0rpg)

Beers is rumored to be UConn or Oklahoma and Iriafen ends up at UCLA or USC I think, but if we could add either it would be huge. More realistic is add 1-2 of:

Amina Muhammad, 6’4 F Jr (6.1ppg, 4.3rpg)
Maryam Dauda, 6’4 F Jr (10.1ppg, 6.3rpg)
Janiah Barker, 6’4 F Jr (12.2ppg, 7.6rpg)

Also, wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on the center from Baylor:

Lety Vasconcelos, 6’7 C So (1.1ppg)

6’7 Brazilian center in the rotation for next few years and being developed by Mulkey doesn’t sound all that bad.

Regardless how the final pieces come together over next few weeks this team should be fun to watch.

More knowledgeable people than I may have had a different opinion about ADR, but for me, recruiting her was always about her potential in a few years. I never expected her to come in and be an All-America player her freshman year. She clearly needs a few years in a college strength and conditioning program and to learn from a couple of players who are already All-Americans, and then she will be set up to have monster Junior and Senior years.

She has improved tremendously since day 1. She works really hard! Shes going to surprise a lot of people this season.

Yep. ADR had 15 rebs, 2 blks, 1 stl and 4pts in this pre-LSU All-American game embedded below, and that was when she was significantly out of shape.

I fully expect her to contribute rebs & blks at a high level with continued conditioning. Anything offensively will be bonus and she has already flashed that potential with a game-high 27 pts vs McNeese St.

Kiki committed to usc

The only thing that ever made sense tbh She was vocal about staying close to home for a while and USC has a major need in the post.

Knew she would never make that South Carolina visit. Yeah and they can eat it.

Del Resario needs backup because she will foul out in 15 min. But I hope she dose awesome.
