I know there’s a women’s basketball board, but I think this would be of interest here. If you’re not interested, don’t read any further and forgive the intrusion.
WBB is 3-0 thus far, and I’ve watched most of the three games. Granted they were playing mid-major competition, but this team plays a very exciting, run and gun offensive style that is the polar opposite of CViv’s all defense/no offense style from the last 10 years of her tenure. Very fun team to watch if you don’t mind the somewhat porous defense. (Greene Rice FIG, look away, man, look away).
Destiny Adams is a walking double-double, and is dominant in the paint. She has back to back 30 point games, and today she had 36 points and 22 rebounds.
5-star freshman Kyomi McMiller is absolutely ELECTRIC. She occasionally gets out of control and makes boneheaded plays, but she has an incredible handle, crossover, and acceleration, and has a great mid-range game. She can get herself a bucket seemingly whenever she has an inch of space. You have to live with the bad because the good is… INCREDIBLE. There are THREE super 5-star players playing at the RAC this year, folks.
Chyna Cornwell is a rugged Center (believe she was a 4 or 5 star when recruited by CVS) and is an absolute rebounding machine, and also is pretty adept at scoring in the post.
There are some good players in the supporting cast too.
There are two smaller, quicker guards in Mya Petticord and Lisa Thompson, and they both provide good depth and can push the pace of play and also hit from deep.
The biggest portal addition is Boston College transfer (but NJ native) JoJo Lacey. She averaged 12 ppg last year, and is a 6-0 foot wing who can shoot from deep. Really good complementary piece to pair with the exciting quick guards and the post play of Adams and Cornwell.
Finally, true freshman Zachara Perkins is a 6-1 guard/wing who has an all-around game. She is trusted to bring the ball up on offense, and is pretty good in the paint.
Point guard Ayo Sidibe is not back from her season ending injury from last year. I think we will need her at some point to play defense.
Coquese Washington did a good job assembling this roster. I wish there were more shooting options (3-pt shooting will likely be a weakness), and I don’t know yet whether they will be better than a .500 team with the way they play defense, but at least they will be fun to watch. And Adams and McMiller will keep us in most games.
