    Massive WBB Recruiting News

    The Power of Dawn Staley in this NIL/portal world is the difference between our beloved Lady Gamecocks and virtually every team in the country ... I do wish we had a 6'6" with size (Tac is not that player, talent wise and hopefully Ali T. will add about 15 lbs. of muscle). Also, this does make...

    Madina Okot Out?, Audi Crooks In?

    Yet, Pavia can cry and litigate (in that order) and gets more and more years .... some people just do not get it and how he is handling things in the press makes me shake my head ...

    What does everyone think about our game with UCLA? I want this championship!!!!!

    Agreed with the responses regarding Betts and Okot ... Okot needs to pick it up and everyone know this ... I do wish that Dawn would run sets for Tessa ... it is rare since she needs little room and is lightning quick on her release but a slip screen sure would be nice on occasion .... the X...

    For those of us who like WBB and love our Lady G's ...

    Watching LSU go down last night was absolutely delightful ... so many reasons (Mulkely and her theatrical manner, Fulwiley leaving, Flaujae's mama, their brawling style of play, the rivalry, etc.) ... interesting fact: my oldest daughter is now 34.5 years and she played AAU ball for many years...

    It's not often the Lady G's have a chance at "revenge" ... I suspect like us fans, they are looking forward to this opportunity and will be dialed in!

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    What will be lost in your comment is "the general nastiness of the league" ... the brawl vs. Marquette, the battles with Lefty, the overall battles (literally) were legendary ... and then, you also had basketball fundamentals and purity ... the outside shots of Roche and Joyce ... the strong...

    I remember when the old guys would talk…

    For someone who was about the same age, I agree with this 100%. The Gamecocks were a NATIONAL power and to see a magazine where the Gamecocks were #1 in the country and UCLA (of the Wooden era) was #2 was phenomenal ... nothing has come close for our beloved Men's Basketball program ...

    Latson plays ZERO defense

    If I recall correctly, and I may not, the two coming in thus far are guards/small forward types ... so for me, having Kitts, Tournebize, and Okot would be very welcome (again, Tac is one who eats minutes from what we have seen) and with injuries and games with foul trouble, having 4 would be...

    Latson plays ZERO defense

    I am not optimistic Watkins will be back either, but Okot may be back (they are working on it) and with Kitts set to return (a huge return) and Tournibize being seasoned and a good 9 months in the program, I am very optimistic about next year's team (but I do agree with you the portal...

    Latson plays ZERO defense

    Let's turn this thread into some positivity ... I am going to miss watching Raven play defense (not understating the fact that she may be the best PG in the nation, I am focusing on defense). Her posture and mindset on defense is something you want to show young players. Defense is a mindset...

    Flaujae Jones beating USC in real life

    If I recall correctly, Flaujae is the one that pushed one of our girls in the SEC tournament two years ago and that started the brouhaha and led to many being kicked out of the game and Kardosa to miss the first game of the NCAA tourney ... that was my first introduction to her. Dawn was very...

    Fulwiley was a non-factor for LSU last night

    When it was announced she was leaving, my reaction was two faced: 1) We will miss that energy that she brings to the team and the venue ... she can speed by anyone, played TENACIOUS D, and score from inside and outside. 2) We will not miss that TO's, the low shooting percentage, and the fact...

    Jackie finally did it

    BANG ... ZOOM!!! They were just a tad before my time, however, in the mid 70's I lived on LI, NY and there were reruns galore of old shows/movies like this, The Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, etc. They were mostly on Channel 9, WOR ... as a matter of fact, the Flintstones were patterned...
