April 2, 20232 yr I just don't see Iowa having a way to get back in this....their defense and height are lacking, and lsu just smothering Clark. I think the LSU basketball team should play the OU softball team.

April 2, 20232 yr I hate Kim and she’s a bitch but I wish we could hire a bitch that can recruit and coach and turn shit around quick. Everything here apparently needs patience and at least 5-10 years to get there.

Probably a third if Half the starting 5 wasn’t banged up or on the bench to start the postseason.
April 2, 20232 yr Well, Iowa beat the team that beat lsu, so there’s that. Lsu somehow didn’t have to face SC to get to F4. Lsu throwing up 3’s when they are up nearly 20… Shows Vic has a lot of work to do.

Yea we always have excuses that coaches like Kim seem to overcome. Maybe we’re just snake bitten. EE is great. But no reason for Texas to not be able to recruit at a higher level and win. Shit if you can do it in shit stain Waco I don’t see why we can’t. And I love Vic but he’s nowhere close to Kim, Dawn and obviously Geno. I think EE might be his ceiling. Hope to be wrong.

April 3, 20232 yr Women's college basketball Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings for 2023-24 (espn.com) Highest ranked Big 12 team Quote 13. Texas Longhorns Most of the Longhorns' core is back in Austin. It just needs to stay healthy. Getting a full season from 6-1 rising junior Aaliyah Moore, who was lost after nine games to a knee injury, will be key. Shaylee Gonzales is using her extra year, and with a year playing together, the chemistry with All-American candidate point guard Rori Harmon should improve in the backcourt. The addition of top-15 rated incoming freshman wing Madison Booker should also bolster an offense that struggled at the end of the season. DeYona Gaston (6-foot-2) and Taylor Jones (6-foot-4) combined to average over 21 points and 10 rebounds per game. Baylor is 17 and KSU/KU are in consideration. Big 12 might be down yet again.
April 3, 20232 yr Vic also said in an article in the Statesman that A-Mo is on track to be ready to start the season in 2023, but Codio is still an unknown and Maul is behind on her rehab. Hence why we HAVE to use those extra 2 ships to get 2 guards.

They weren’t afraid to shoot an open mid-range and they made them at a high clip. I don’t know if we’ll ever see that kind of guard play under Rori, but I hope I’m wrong.

Here’s hoping Rori works on her shooting confidence this summer.
April 4, 20232 yr Makes sense. 1 or 2 season transfers like Shaylee/Morris. What they accomplished winning the Big 12 with the injuries is commendable. A lot went wrong though.

The portal is wild Reese played at Maryland and then LSU. Alexis Morris is who you’re thinking of. Played one year for Kim at Baylor where she got in trouble and booted from the team, then 2 years at Rutgers, a year at aggy and then joined back up with Kim at LSU.
April 4, 20232 yr FL is hemorrhaging players into the portal - kinda feel bad for Matharu, but not really. Elena Lovato is following Te-Hina Paopao from Oregon, who just entered the portal. Maybe we got an assist with Rori's GF being an Oregon player who finished her eligibility. All-Pac 12 First Team 2021/2022 and Honorable Mention 2023. 35 games started in 2022-23 42.4% from three 88% FT 15.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg, 3.9 apg, 43 steals, 5 blocks Career (3 seasons) 111/112 games started at Oregon 33.3% from three 80.6% FT 14.6 ppg 4.4 rpg 3.5 apg 121 steals Edited April 4, 20232 yr by Js1

April 6, 20232 yr According to Vic, we will be hosting UConn and Louisiana Tech, going to play at Arizona and going to another Virgin Islands tournament with NC State, Kentucky and South Florida
April 6, 20232 yr On 4/4/2023 at 7:53 PM, A’Dam Psycho said: I would love to add Paopao tbh. Great name, awesome hair, even better player. Blair is Now following and got a follow back Coach Wisdom is following Lexi Donarski from ISU
April 6, 20232 yr Actually, right now I'm just glad we aren't hemorrhaging assistant coaches like we did last year. Don't like all the ACL recovery timelines but we should start the year and go through the recruiting season with far more stability than last year. At least, I haven't heard of any staffing changes, I don't know if anyone else has.
April 6, 20232 yr Lexi Donarski seems like the perfect fit. Great defensive player that would fit with Vic's defensive first mindset and she can rotate with Rori at point. Rori and Donarksi would be a defensive nightmare for teams.
April 7, 20232 yr Jada Walker (5'7 guard)was definitely a name I wanted to look at out of Kentucky, but she joins a 6'3 F from Belmont and a 5'8 PG from Ohio as part of the Baylor transfer class. Texas may not have been in on her. It does seem, based on social media, that the guards we may be seriously after are Quinerly, Paopao, Donarski, and perhaps Taina Mair out of Boston College (Lovato and Blair are both following). Rori just started following Arizona transfer Kailyn Gilbert. Breakdown of the 4 or 5 guards we seem to be linked to: JJ Quinerly (WV) - sophomore - 5'8 guard - career avg 11.7 ppg, 2.4 apg, 3.4 rpg, 2.2 steals per game, 30.8% 3PFG, 69.9% FT Te-Hina Paopao (Oregon) - junior - 5'9 guard - career avg 12.5 ppg, 3.6 apg, 3.9 rpg, 1.3 steals per game, 38% 3PFG, 86.8% FT (#11 in the class of 2020) Lexi Donarski (ISU) - junior - 6'0 guard - career avg 13.2 ppg, 2.1 apg, 3.2 rpg, 0.8 steals per game, 36.4% 3PFG, 85.8% FT (#14 in the class of 2020) Taina Mair (BC) - freshman - 5'9 guard - career avg. 11.1 ppg, 6.6 apg, 4.7 rpg, 2 steals per game, 29.4% 3PFG, 78.8% FT Kailyn Gilbert (Arizona) - freshman - 5'8 guard - career avg. 4.9 ppg, 1.1 apg, 1.4 rpg, 0.7 steals per game, 35% 3PFG, 71.8 FT (#33 recruit in the 2022 class) Paopao is #1 on my list. Really hoping Rori and Ahlise Hurst's relationship means she is very familiar with Texas already and vice versa. Edited April 7, 20232 yr by Js1
April 7, 20232 yr Everybody wants to see Caitlin Clark play in person. So much so, in fact, that the University of Iowa had to pause ticket sales for the 2023-24 season, according to Chad Leistikow of the Des Moines Register, due to overwhelming demand. No surprises there—Iowa already set a Big Ten women's basketball record with an average attendance of 11,143 fans per home game at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena this past season. Add in the star power of Clark and the team's run to the national championship game this past season, and Iowa is one of the hottest tickets in basketball. "We're going to do our best so that those fans who want to support women's basketball at Iowa get that opportunity," Iowa's deputy director of athletics Matt Henderson told Leistikow. Good problem to have!

LSU/Miss St are the two to watch Probably but I noticed Rori and Blair started following Van Lith on IG a couple days ago. So this has likely been known for a couple days. Van Lith may know where she’s going but there’s zero chance schools are following the no contact tag. Schools and coaches are definitely still contacting her to make a pitch.
April 8, 20232 yr I’m quite certain her current NIL deal is with Adidas. Texas is not an adidas school.

Those are quantifiable. Kim has the rings going back to 2005 to back up her recruiting and transfer portal game. Not a single person will refute that
