Stanford has now lost three forwards to the portal.
Courtney Ogden 6'1" F 12.5ppg 4.3rpg
Lara Somfai 6'3" 10.8ppg 9.1rpg
Nunu Agara 6'2" 15ppg 8.7rpg
I guarantee that Cory Close from UCLA will get one of these three. They are available now. JJ and Iowa need forwards. We obviously don't know who they may have contacted through back channels, but one of these could help the Hawks. Will JJ's staff even reach out?

She picked up Chit Chat and Emily which were two very good picks, one didn't work out but Jan is responsible for both. Sure, she hired an assistant that brought CCW.
Coach LaSondra is from Georgia; Chit Chat is from Georgia.
Two Georgia teammates in the portal.
Dani Carnegie 5'9" guard
Mia Woolfolk 6'3" forward
I know there is talk of possibly bringing in Carnegie for a visit. JJ should challenge her staff to get both on campus; offer both and have a successful portal experience. Chit Chat, LaSondra and the two girls from Georgia from the portal. Peach Cobbler for all. That would be a portaling coup.

Disagree. We need a forward to replace Hannah's rebounding at the very least.
Nope. You don't want/need to pay for another high end forward when you have Journey and McKenna manning that one spot. Journey rebounded at the same rate as Hannah this year. On the other hand you only have 2 players filling the 3 guard/wing positions. Those are the priority today.
We have 6 players LOL - I think everything is a priority. Right now the only true depth we have is C - Ava, Hayes, PF - Wolizcko and Houston (who could move to a 3).
That's kind of the point. We have limited financial resources. We need 9 good players in the rotation. We already have 4 players set at the 4 and 5. We only have 2 players at the 1, 2, and 3. Priorities.
I like peach cobbler very much.
Do we know who is replacing Feuerbach on the "culture committee" for this portal season?
Asking for a friend.
Asking for a friend.
My guess is we will have 12 to 13 - We ran this several times with Bluder. That means 6-7 players. Some will be less than others.
3 rumored visits scheduled -
Hare - G 5' 9" sharp shooting guard depth piece (minor investment) SR
Thompson, - G 5' 10 - another good shooting back up guard (minor investment) JR
Carnegie G 5'9" - starter - scorer another good shooting 3 - very solid piece (significant investment) JR
Connections:
Speiser 6' 1" -SG/SF - starter - very good shooter (significant investment) SO
If you got all that, The G depth would be significantly better. Would need 1 -2 Forwards/Center. Likely Senior or Junior players for depth purposes.

Lolol.. Good Lord. Yes Jan played a role in recruiting but lets be transparent anyway. Lisa recruited Lucy. Yes, Jan had to convince her to stay committed but she was not the HC. That was the conversation. Maybe she lands CCW and maybe Jan wouldn't have known much at all about CCW if she hadn't hired Barrett. I know, that I don't really know, and i'm pretty sure YOU don't know either. I mean must you question EVERYTHING? I'm not a hater here, but for some reason you have something in your craw. I think its fair to say that Jan played a role in landing those players. How much I don't really know.
Houston is a good rebounder but she's not, alone, filling the gap left by Hanna. Stuelke can defend and bang with the top 5s in the country. Hanna has defended the likes of Boston, Reese, Cardoso, and Crooks. No way Houston can duplicate Hanna.
Isn't Ava a 5? She'll be guarding the opposing center, backed up by Layla. Journey will be giving up some height on the defensive end, but she, along with Wolizco will more than make up for that on offense with better shooting range, opening things up inside for Ava who won't have to worry about the high post sagging off to help which was a problem all season long.
Because everything with you is a backhanded compliment. And you can’t admit it.
Where did you see the rumors for the visits?
Hare is confirmed, there have been a couple different posts seeming to confirm chit chats previous teammates and has connections to coaches.
Had Iowa offer, Made her top 10 list, I don’t think she ever narrowed it down more than that before committing to LSU.
Hannah had the height and frame to really work players in the paint. Not only does that fatigue opposing players, but it also demands someone returning that energy. That's just rebounding, but you have to add defense to that equation. I love Journey and I have big hopes for McKenna, but neither player can bring what Stuelke did to that part of the game. I fear they will get buried in some games without another big/tall forward.
Who? I dunno.
Who? I dunno.
I’m pretty sure playing time was the issue with Addie.
Deal had Some pretty dumb turnovers also
Relying on a 5'11" guard to replace Hannah's rebounding is a recipe for disaster. Not at the same rate when you compare ten minutes a game and thirty minutes. Sorry that just doesn't fly.
Oh, and I would also add regarding ball security, Stremlow had an ATO ratio of almost 2-1. Speiser, who everyone on here seems to be pining for and believes is a superior player had an ATO ratio of .42 which is terrible.
Hare was hardly a sharpshooter. Reminds me of the posters who claimed the same trait regarding Mallegni by just observing her in pregame shooting.
Hannah is 6'2" and was a rebounding machine that averaged 9 rebounds in 31 minutes. Theres no denying that. Journey is 6' and averaged 5 rebounds in 18 minutes. It's not inconceivable at all that Journey could raise that to 7 or 8 per game with the additional minutes. That's hardly a disaster losing 1 or 2 rebounds per game worst case, but we'll see what happens. Maybe Jan moves her to the 3 but she hasn't shown long range shooting to be a strength as of yet and that's also going to require adding a skilled forward from the portal. Skillset wise she's really a 4 today.
Hey! I'm a numbers guy. If you want to spout off about shat and argue why someone's better then at least provide something substantive to support your arguments! I don't care about your feels!
Sharpshooter that shoots 36% from the field and 37% from the FT line? Do you consider Layla Hays a sharpshooter because these are Layla Hays numbers.
