An interesting prospect. I agree with several posters who hope that JJ and staff start scouring the international market. I housed (foreign exchange student) a 6'2" soccer young woman who played high school soccer here in Arizona and she was far superior to many of the American girls. She ended up getting a full ride to a Pac Ten school. Stanford listed a new portal entry. Lara Somfai from Adelaide, Australia. She is a 6'3" forward who averages 10.8 ppg and 9.1 rpg. I don't know much of her basketball skills---> I watched a few clips but we know she is intelligent and being a foreigner, she has played for the national team. If JJ could get one girl from Australia it might be a pipeline for future prospects adding that Lucy played professionally there last season.

Put his idiot a s s on ignore. The board becomes better immediately.
Good idea.

Make the entire forum "sunshine pumpers only".

That said, I would hope Beth allows more $$$ to MBB and less to WBB.

Have to reward performance and penalize lack thereof.

She had the highest assist rate on the team. The fact that she also shot a ridiculous 69% from 2 point range as a guard also shoots a huge hole in your argument that she can't create her own shot.
What is assist rate? You mean per game? I thought assist to turnover is what you want. And ChitChat, McCabe, Kylie, and Journey had as good or better than Stremlow. And if you only shoot 3 shots a game and they are probably layups, I would expect 69% or so.

Now you're just being ridiculous. You keep looking for ways to diminish what she did. She was number one on the team in assists per 40 minutes of play. Assist to turnover is very important. She turned it over too often, but her ATO was still 1.9. Chitchat was the best guard at 2.2. Kylie was 1.6 and Addie was 1.1. McCabe was at 2.0 but it was mostly due to a lack of turnovers because she rarely handled the ball and didn't create for herself or anyone else. Her assist rate was less than half of Stremlow..

Nobody shoots 69% from 2. Not even Ava or Hannah and most of their shots were within a few feet of the basket. You said she couldn't make her own shots but very few of those 2 pointers that she hit at an extremely high percentage were assisted. She created and made her own shots at a 69% clip and now you're trying to downplay her percentage because she was able to get to the rim? Isn't that what you want??
