Outstanding effort by the entire team!! Kylie of course made life miserable for Olson that was expected. CCW"s matchup on Swords was impressive. On a day when her shot wasn't falling she made Swords an (outstanding player) a non factor. Stremlow has really shown growth and is not a...
The Hawks perimeter defense will need help next year. Hannah, Taylor M and Kylie were all capable defenders. To maintain a high level we need portal help.
After the loss of Taylor M we can see how thin we are at the guard position. It will certainly be a focus in the portal. It seems to be a focus in the 27 recruiting as well with the commitment of Jada S and visits by Mya W and Brinley A.
I hope we can get 10-12 minutes from Teagan and Callie to cover some of Taylor’s minutes. It would seem to be expecting a lot from Strem to get all of the reserve playing time. Not a great amount of time until Sunday match up with UCLA.
I watched the 2nd game of the season clip against a good Hopkins team. Nice quick high release. Her range is really impressive. She is quick but not elite. She is just a junior handles well but could improve. Adding strength for the next level would really help. She will contribute early.
Our two best offensive performers are interior or post players Ava and Hannah. We know this and our opponents most assuredly know this. We are not going to beat good teams by out gunning them from the perimeter. Granted some of our interior feeds were ill advised but we cannot abandon this as...
Addie D is starting to show what she is capable of and she and we all hope it will be the future. She likely will have good and less than good games down the road. Let's all hope the good become more frequent. Two things that played a roll in her performance against Oregon that will likely...
Lets remember it is a big step between HS and college ball. MW looks really good. Jazzy Davidson plays at So Cal. She was widely considered one of the top three recruits in the nation last year. She is very good and will likely be great in time. She has had games that were not stellar...
I agree we must have another to handler to take some of the load off CC. She is showing good skills and range offensively. I think Deal and Stremlow will improve going forward but we can not depend on their handling skills.
Uconn is a great team. Their pressure defense is a key. Iowa shot well enough but gave up entirely to many easy baskets because of turnovers. SoCal only shot about 30% and had 20 turnovers. Iowa is on a similar level as many top 20 teams. We are not elite yet like the top 5 or 6.
