    Official Player Return/Departure Thread

    Stanford transfer Chloe Clardy to Carolina. Think similar to Nivar. Not as talented, but she can steal. Her shooting is bad, though. PF Akot, SG Burrows, and SF Clardy. That fills a lot of holes temporarily. Don't have much PG depth, which can be a real issue. Aarnisalo and UCLA used us...

    Did not control possession seemingly at all. No real build up. We need to be better at passing and getting clearer shots near the top of the box. A recurring problem. Defense let too clear of shots come through. The first goal for them was a nice shot, difficult to save. The second one...

    Well, that sucked. They were more aggressive, in control, and appeared to be more talented. If not for the own goal, it would have looked far worse. We need to look at the formation. Faasse needs to play forward. Two forwards are better than one. With how dangerous Freifeld has looked...

    Played against one of the best teams in the country. Fewer defenders was not the best idea. Also, giving up seemingly a hundred corners did not help either.

    And, then there is the whole Wasserman thing where high school players are offered everything to sign with them and I wonder what they actually get. I haven't heard their compensation, but a ton of players who could have gone to UNC, Stanford, UCLA, FSU, Notre Dame, and Virginia sign with...

    Shores is always injured, allegedly did not get along with the new coach, and was offered a contract. Dahlien was in college for 3 years. Armstrong, like King, did not want to play in college and wanted to play professionally a la Mallory Pugh and Trinity Rodman. Huff (tennessee and fsu)...

    FSU does have an NIL program and recruits internationally, a lot. Add to that bringing in 2 all-americans from Tennessee in the last few years (Simmonds and Huff, both of whom he stole from his old job) and here you go. NWSL does not have a lot of money or pay it, so staying in college can be...

    This is why some of us were clamoring for depth. Bradley is out for the year. Munson is out for a while, hopefully not the year. Dellarose is going to be fully healed and ready to start soon. Now, who is coming off the bench? Is Mara starting or is Brown? Bretzer and Freifeld have to be...

    Ullmark is the playmaker. Defensively, looked far more settled and less scattered. This was a huge improvement over Georgia and Tennessee.

    For those lauding Liya's national team experience, her last two games with Jamaica: 11 goals allowed. 7 against England and 4 against a US team without many of their starters Try Gundry and Johann against Alabama. Don't need a third game against an SEC team to go the exact same way

    1st goal, we got Munsoned - think "kingpin." 2nd goal - no reaction - goal. Brooks' two trademarks - play near midfield and don't react to shots on goal. This isn't a Gagne deal, this is closer to Allen. Have to put Gundry in and Johann, especially for Alabama, Notre Dame, jersey Durham and...

    Two things: 1 - Want to see all GKs. Shorrock, Maihs, Johann, and Gundry. All need real game time. Outside of one game, we have a very easy schedule for the next 3 weeks. 2 - I know the team is thin and has holes. All the more reason to play everyone. Anyone who is not hurt needs to play...
