4 years old but a peak of what we are getting.

Welcome to USF Mamacita! This explains Marina entering the portal. We now have probably the best PG duo ever in the history of the program.

Entered the portal yesterday and already here. That was quick, unless CJF already knew her. Guess where she is from? Spain. Quick point guard that can drive, dish, and score. 6th in the nation in both assists and steals (3.3). Turnovers are high though. Major upgrade at PG.

Maybe they plan to have her play the point. She is good defensively and is quick, long, and good at penetrating.

With the 6 left so far, plus the 2 incoming freshman, this 8 is a much better squad than this year's.

Yes, I just saw she is in the portal.

I watched some highlights of Weimer yesterday because she had some crazy stats. I have not heard of the other 2. Hannah Gusters looks like she is good, but she is leaving her 3rd school at Oklahoma St. She might be a problem player.

Down to 7 players from the current roster.

Not surprised by Gonzalez. Although she got decent playing time, I had a feeling she was not happy. Can't blame her for wanting more time, if that is the reason. I won't be surprised if Asensio and Aarnio enter.

I was going down the long list in the portal so far, and probably made it halfway through. There are lots of intriguing bigs on that list. One person that I would go after is Kateri Poole, the LSU point guard. I know many of you are shocked to hear this, but she would lighten the pressure on Amy. Poole has one year left and is an excellent point guard with mad skills as a shooter and ball handler, who can penetrate. Someone like her can come in and have Amy as a back-up.

See my post "WBB Transfer Portal." Your reason may be why WBB declined.

The transfer portal opened this week, and it looks like we already have 3 players who have entered their names in Emma and the 2 Judits. With Emma and Judit Oliva leaving, it would leave us with just 1 big in Mputu. Perhaps we declined the NIT to hit recruiting the best players available to get a head start on teams that are still playing. If that is the case, it makes sense to decline the NIT. 2023-24 women’s basketball transfer portal tracker - The Next WWW.THENEXTHOOPS.COM The transfer portal is here to stay in women's basketball. Keep track of everyone who enters and where they land.

The reason could be due to the coaching staff taking the week to start recruiting heavily through the portal. It looks like we already have 2 bigs in the portal, leaving us with just Mputu.

I watched the UCF post-game presser, and CJD said that in scouting USF, the thing that stood out the most was our ability to hit 3s. He said that at any given time, we have 4 guys on the court that hit 3s at 35% or higher. He added that their inability to prevent those 3s were a big factor in their loss.

Funniest post I have read all year!

Obviously you ignored what I said and failed to realize that what I explained earlier about a specific rotation explains what you think you saw. Again, if you go back and watch the games, which I know you will not do, CAAR had a pattern. The starting PG played the first 5 minutes or so of the half and then played the last 7 or 8 of the half. When Jose returned from his injury, Reid continued starting the next 7 or so games, including the Memphis and Charlotte games. Since Reid started, Jose played the middle part of the half and Reid returned to finish the half. This is why you think Jose got taken out. He did not get taken out because he was playing poorly; he was taken out because CAAR followed the same routine he had doing all year. CAAR stuck to this rotation strictly. There were a few exceptions, like on Friday when both were in the game at the same time towards the end of the game, but this was the rotation he stuck to all year. I know you may not have noticed what I just explained, but based on what you have said, I know you were not paying attention because you said Jose did not take 3s. I can't believe you said this because he was 3-8 this past weekend. If you were watching the games, how could you miss that he took 8 3s? As of today, he has an average of 38%, which is higher than his career average of 36% and the highest of any season in his career.

Actually, it was Jose that was in at the end of most games. CAAR had a set routine where Jose played the first 5 minutes of each half. Reid would then play until the 7- or 8-minute mark. Jose would then return for the remainder of the half. In the post-game presser yesterday, CAAR was asked why Hines and Jose were not in at the end of the game. He said that he was not going to answer because he did want to be fined. So yes, there was a reason why he was not in the game at the end; and it is probably something different from what you are thinking.

And when this type of offense is not hitting, it leaves you one-dimensional. This type of offense will not last forever; history keeps repeating and this offense will eventually go out of style because some coach will start playing big men in the post and teams will not have any answer and won't have anyone to defend it. When the US decided to play NBA players in the olympics in 1988, other countries were saying that we would not be dominant because we did not know how to play defense. Back in the 80s, NBA scores were outrageous like now. Those comments offended US players, who upped their defensive pressure and shut down teams. This ushered in an era of better defense in the NBA. Things will change again at some point in the future.

They were one of the top teams in the Sun Belt Conference when we were a part of the conference. They were led by legendary coach, Gene Bartow, who took UCLA to the final four and then took UAB to 7 straight NCAA tournaments in the 80s.

He has 2 bigs that he is trying to develop, so we may not get any "true" centers. He believes in developing players to fit his system.

He showed enough. He was splitting time with Reid and was trying to play unselfish ball. In a post-game presser last week, CAAR stated that much. He said that Placer had the green light to shoot whenever he wanted at his previous school and made the sacrifice to be a part of what CAAR was doing. There were many occasions in many games throughout the year where he was open and passed the ball instead of taking the shot.

You must have him confused with someone else. He hit 3 3s in this tournament and came in to this game with a 39% average, which is good for the third best percentage on the team and the highest of his career.

Taking time to shoot is stupid. Run a quick play. Get Placer in the game because he can hit 3s.

Why pick Knox to shoot Reid's FTs? Weren't Pryor and Youngblood on the floor?

And we are not doing it. Bad decisions and untimely turnovers killing us.
