    It's not just Hannah. A lot of post players throughout basketball have struggled mightily to become even average FT shooters. People like to act like shooting 70+ percent from the FT line in front of the cameras is easy and something everyone s/b able to do with practice, but it's not. A lot of...

    So, just to be clear, I am one of those here who believes that Layla wasn't really a functional backup this year, but I also believe that she can make great strides to get much better, but it's going to take some time. The issue with freshmen like Layla is that she played most of her games in...

    My reaction generally depends upon the gender and appearance of said walker.

    Rebounding

    I'm still trying to figure out how I demoted Journey to the 4. 🤔

    I thought about him when I saw this and wondered if they're telling recruits that they could be the next Steph Curry that puts Davidson women's basketball on the map.

    We'll never know. That's most likely why Deal ended up at Wisconsin. I would think that there's a correlation between playing time and money if only because any player that's starting is worth more to any team than a back bencher. Iowa surely has significantly more money than Davidson, but Iowa...

    Or she simply saw more minutes/money coming from Davidson than another schools that she spoke with.

    Rebounding

    Yeah. It's crazy to think that if Jan plays Journey more minutes that she'll collect more rebounds. That never happens. It's also crazy to think that one of the best rebounders in this freshman class could pick up 4 or 5 rebounds per game like Journey did this year. That's also highly unlikely.

    Emely R (again)

    Boy I don't know about that. Did you watch her last couple of outings? She looked like an un-coachable loose cannon out there.

    If Ava has a serious injury Iowa will be in serious trouble. I think that's the case with 99% of teams who lose their All American star player. There is simply no viable backup plan for that eventuality.

    As a true freshman Houston had 20 rebounds and 13 points against Illinois, 11 rebounds and 8 points against Michigan, 4 rebounds and 15 points against Minnesota, and 8 rebounds and 16 points against USC. Those were all teams with a pulse.

    I'm also more concerned about defense than rebounding, but I think It'll be fine and probably a net plus offensively. Journey already played pretty much exclusively at the 4 last year averaging 18 minutes in conference play and rebounded at the same rate as Hannah. Up that to 20-22 minutes for...

    Rebounding

    In conference play Hannah averaged 9 rebounds over 31 minutes of play. Rebounding will be fine between Journey and McKenna and whomever else is filling that role.

    ***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

    Well yeah. Name another person in the public eye who gets subjected to online criticism every day. Go ahead. I dare you.

    No. I think that ship has sailed. Jan is all in on Layla.
