She'd be a strong rotational player with Maddy, Kate.
Will have to take a look see at the other two: not quite as familiar.
as her brother played for the Blazers when she went to high school. The Beavers beat Colorado 3 times last season, but Colorado beat the Ducks. Vonleh is a scrapper and she certainly would do better than Obinma coming in. She has good position defense as she kept Ayoka Lee of KSU to 1/2 her scoring average when they beat them in Kansas to get to the sweet 16. I know she first was recruited and went to Arizona but never played there. Interesting where she might go.
third string Center
He had a cup of coffee with the Celtics last year.
Any idea if they are related? Not that it matters...
This is an elite starting four that is screaming for a big. A Maya Dodson would certainly do. We lost a great rotational player (and teammate) in Nat. Kiki obviously fits the mold. I don't know enough about the other players. But this team needs an athletic big that will be able to defend the post.
I'll be disappointed if we don't get anyone as good as (or better than) Kylie. If she hadn't gotten injured we probably wouldn't be in the market, so getting someone comparable will keep this from being a "what if" season.
We have a 6'5" top five recruit coming onto the team. I will be fine with Koval as the starter, especially when she is surrounded by accomplished veterans.
If Ivey can get a post player who's better than Koval, great; but if she gets a solid backup who defends opposing post players well, I won't be even a little disappointed.
If we lost Nat and simply got a rental of similar caliber then I’d call that a loss for the program.
Or a very tall forward who is good in the lane who can become something of a three-person rotation, like Maddy, Lauren Ebo and Kylee used to have.
stats fit what is needed. They also are Grad. students, so would be for one season only. They obviously would not be competing for a starting position, but might be solid backups?
Niele should and could find a center/long forward who has multiple years, but there are a number of grad. transfers that fit the bill.
Now that Maddy is a done deal, I find myself antsy for Niele, Mike and staff to make hay. The Irish need two or three (my vote) players. Let's go!!
two to three "portals" to sign. I'm guessing we all want at least one of them to be starter material, or sixth player of the year.
- I think Cass will be the first person off the bench to address anything on the guard/wing situation. The others can move accordingly once she comes in.
- But the person I think the Bench is all looking for is the frontcourt addition, whether it be a starter or a prime back-up.
