She says Virginia is "expected to part ways with their head coach, Amaka Agugua-Haliton" after their strong season. JJ and her staff need to run like hell and try to persuade Kymora Johnson to wear the black and gold. Kymora partnering with Chit Chat would be dynamic. If she decides or is persuaded to enter the portal she will command a huge payday.

Very weird that both coaches in the First Round game in Iowa City between Georgia and Virginia are now out of a job.

Not saying she wouldn't be a good addition but a back court of 5'4" and 5'7" would be a challenge

Just great, have Jan go after a player not in the Portal. Really? I don't think so.

Jan get good guards in the portal??? What planet are you from? We need good guards to run her triangle offense….
They only ran it because of the personnel they had on the roster this season. It’s called adapting to your roster.

I don’t know why people act like it’s Jan’s plan to run this for the next two decades.

Probably because JJ is a two-year coach and they are concerned she will not adapt to other strategies, JMO

^^^^
JJ has to prove she can develop guards.

You could make the argument that CCW played better in the first half of the season than the second half.
Don't think that Deal's exit won't be used in negative recruiting against Jensen.

Regarding Jenica, she's got a year to develop with Hildago returning next season. Lewis made the right decision.

That Virginia coach must be some wahoo!

I had never heard of this nickname until Iowa played the "Hoos." Probably widely known, but a new one on me, lol.
