Kentucky and Texas really cleaned up on this class.

I'm still glad Jensen went for it trying to recruit these girls. Had to try coming off the championship runs. People would have been all over her if she didn't try. Just didn't quite happen. *It does, however, put Iowa in good position should any of them look for a transfer.

So far, it's classic McKenna, going back to when I first saw her in an 8th grade all-star game. Total team player, versatile, will do all the little things to set up others.

She could have scored 50 in that 8th grade game if she'd wanted to, but she played a complete team game, scoring maybe 20-25 points mostly off a bunch of offensive rebounds, steals... DOZENS of great screens set, a bunch of assists... Now y'all get to see it in realtime.

Don't forget Notre Dame. USC has the #1 player for the third year in a row.

Watching MW just don’t see her playing the 4 unless JJ switches to more uptempo offense. Just not sure she has the size at 6-2. Guarding bigger problems might be an issue as well.

But her versatility, skillset, and motor may make her a really good 3 and a tough matchup.

Pretty much what I've always thought, and why they need a rebounding forward to take on the Stuelke defense and rebounding.

Is it because of donors/money that they're suddenly the "Texas Tech" of women's college basketball? (Landing top recruits out of nowhere instead of anywhere else)

Greenway is quick, but she looks really small out there. Smallest on the court by far.
She has all the upside in the world, but her size will always be the great equalizer.

She could develop into a Kelsey Plum and spend 12 hours dribbling the basketball in one possession like she has something to prove, but it's always tough to project players who have that uphill battle against unnecessarily tall players gifted with athletic limberness that they shouldn't possess............

Agree that's she's not big enough to play the "4".

After the portal season, I guess we'll know more, but Jebsen has lots of gaps to fill.
