Cool. I just figured if anyone here had, it would be you.

Seems like we may be trading Kneepkens for Judd & Sidberry.

Yep

Booker and Lee both shot around 40% last year, Judd is a career 38%, Crump is a 3 level scorer, both Hose and Sidberry can stretch and make about 1/3 of their outside shots and Harmon has a full offseason being healthy to hopefully hit around 30% as well

    It was a great year. 35 wins. Forever to be known as “The Final Four team of 2025.” Thank you Vic and staff. Thank you ladies. Much appreciated.

Okot (Mississippi State) transfers to Souf Carolina

Just stacking bigs and won’t play them

Speaking of South Carolina, Slim Mulkey put out that Fulwiley didn’t want to leave, her helicopter mom forced her into the portal to find a bag, she wanted to go back to South Carolina and Dawn had moved on already 

The timeline on Judd is mid-May apparently. Texas or Tennessee, with Texas leading. Does not appear she’s even considering going back to Missouri

What stands out to me about these is:

1. Booker should have been taking more threes last season. I didn't realize she shot 40% from deep. However, she basically only attempted about one per game. We should be creating more set three-point attempts for her and fewer contested off the dribble at that percentage.

2. Lee should have been taking more, too.

3. In WCBB, FG% and 3P% seem to be pretty close for most decent shooters. Texas needs to adapt their offense to attempt more threes for any player shooting 35%+. The statistical payoff is there when FG% is only marginally higher for most of these players.

Keep the defensive identity, feed the post, and shoot 5-10 more threes/game, and this team should increase the average point differential. With our post depth this season, disallowing teams to collapse down in the lane without the threat of a three-point risk because we actually can - and will - willingly shoot threes would be a huge difference maker. 

With who Vic has been targeting in the portal, I'm optimistic this is somewhat his plan, as well.

Also, another year with more experienced, polished, and healthy versions of Harmon, Booker, Phelia, Lee, and Preston is going to be fun. If Preston and Lee get confidence in creating their own shots (think Preston late at home against SCar, as well as Lee the final few games of the season), we're going to have some serious offensive weaponry.

Judd is now following Booker (and vice versa)

Creme updated his Early Top 25, with portal additions/departures.  Today is the last day, but schools have 48 hours to enter names, so we could still see someone go

1 South Carolina - no surprise with Latson and Okot
2 UConn
3 UCLA
4 Texas
5 LSU
6 OU (with Chavez)
7 Tenn
8 Duke
9 NCST
10 UNC

11 Vanderbilt
13 Ole Miss
16 Baylor
18 Notre Dame
19 USC

I'm surprised not to see TCU in the top 25, with getting Miles.  Also still some big names on the board, like Serah Williams and Fulwiley

So we basically have 1.5 shooters with the half being a true freshmen?

We don’t need shooters anyways, hard nose defense wins championships

I’m hoping this means we are getting some guards from the portal and Phelia wanted more playing time. If not, then WTH, Vic?

It’s not only his choice. Maybe she just didn’t feel it here. 

Yep. Can’t put all the blame on Vic. Maybe she didn’t like it here. Maybe she felt like the eye issue means she needed a diff start. Maybe she got tampered with

Maybe. But entering the transfer portal on the last day, after following potential portal transfers on social media is a bit odd.

Either someone is coming in at her position and she freaked out or the Texas team doctors aren’t going to clear her and someone else’s team doctor is a lot more lax

Welp, we definitely got holes on the roster now.

Hate this. I really wanted to see her play for us.

Seems like every year I pick who is going to portal and I'm always wrong.

 

I’m curious if Rori returning affected Phelia and NIL. I assume she was slotted for a year of NIL and then, bam, didn’t even play. Perhaps a negotiating tactic while she works that out with the WBB money 

If I have to pick whether to pay Rori and Phelia, I’m picking the heart and soul of the team 

Edited by Js1

Yea losing Phelia is not ideal. . 
 

If it was due to Rori’s NIL which I don’t think , she better be working on that shot. But hopefully we can get these portal guards now that we have some more room 😔

Someone mentioned on Talia Goodman's post that Phelia and Jak were pretty close

I'm not saying it is due to Rori's NIL, but I am speculating it could be:

Rori is returning, which was not in the budget initially.  Nor was another year of Phelia, she was supposed to be one and done. 
Phelia got paid a year of NIL to play 8 games and it's still not 100% how her recovery is going.  And Lee did very well as a freshman in the same position, without an injury history. 
If there's any hesitation on her recovery, with Texas pursuing Judd and Kneepkins, the money may not be there.  Yet.

Rori needs to practice her midrange all offseason like she worked on her FT last year

If she would just put some arch on it she would improve her shooting % tremendously.

Back up the Brinks truck to Kneepkins door.

Phelia has a DO NOT CONTACT tag

So:

She knows where she's going or
She's negotiating to stay

I wonder if Vic has the same rule as Sark, once in the portal it's bye bye. If so, that only leaves one of those.

Fulwiley to LSU

Boy if she thinks Dawn is a hard ass if she fucks up or loafs on defense….

LSU has a bunch of guards already. Will Fulwiley be HVL 2.0 and try PG?

Just another player who got bad advice (from bad parents) and will probably transfer a third time

Sidberry or Judd but I sure wish it was Kneepkans 

Ashton Judd doesn’t wait, picks Texas

Sorry, I read earlier today she had signed with SC, but according to SB Nation's latest she has NOT signed with anyone yet.

Yeah Talia Goodman has nothing on her twitter about Kneep

Allegedly she’s down to UCLA or OU, but Texas and South Carolina are not eliminated 

Sarah Graves is folllowing Teya Sidberry so I’m guessing she’s next

Yeah, Sidberry is the much better offensive Jak replacement.

Jak really helped plug some gaps last season. That said, for whatever reason I never felt she was going to keep ascending at Texas. Hate to lose proven depth, but Sidberry's a better overall player.

Nowhere yet

Texas Tech?

She's better than Tech level

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say getting Judd and Siberry means the chance of getting Kneepans is slim to none.

If 94 Feet is to be believed, it’s not us or South Carolina. UCLA or OU. Better offenses for her. Maybe we can convince Phelia to stay
