You offer them in HS for potential and Vic really wanted to address offense thus Crump and the Judd pickup in the off season. Both were also our worst defenders. Carlton is the bigger loss given her development of her 3pt shot but Crump wouldn't be playing much again next year behind Lee and Booker. She'd be in the same situation so I don't blame her for leaving. Both weren't ideal fits and I saw somewhere in Vic's season exit interview with Crump, he told her that she'd need to work more on full court defense and she immediately entered the portal. I'm confident both will be good somewhere else. I just don't think they fit Vic's system well enough to maximize their potential. Etute is pretty similar to Carlton (physical body and likes to use it on the inside) but with quicker feet so we might already have a good replacement between Crittenden and Etute. There are 1100+ players in the portal now so there's got to be a a handful that would be good fits for us. As long as we don't lose Lee and Preston too, we'll be ok.

If Crump and Carlton didn’t have the speed and quickness to play 40 minutes of hell defense, Vick wouldn’t have offered in the 1st place. Both are big losses for team.

Yet I’d rather see Diego Pavia succeed than Baker Mayfield. What does that say about me?

A silver lining to losing Crump and Carlton (if those 2 are the only real losses) is both did not have the speed and quickness to play the 40 mins of hell defense I know Vic wants to ideally run. The defensive drop off from sitting Lee/Booker is huge and unless Crump was making a lot of baskets which she only did in a handful of games. Carlton was better because she had experience in the system so she knew where to be but her lack of quickness caused most of the fouls she committed. There were games where Sidberry's quickness was much more effective and at the same time Carlton's strength worked in other games. So it was nice we had 3 options at PF depending on the matchup but each had weaknesses. So if we can find SG/PFs in the portal that match Vic's system a little better, it could be an improvement. Crittenden and Bjorn will be good fits once they get some games under their belt and I think Etute is equally as physical as Carlton but with quicker feet.

Almost found the end zone to almost beat the team that almost won the natty

Crooks is the epitome of what Vic doesn't want on defense. She has never hedged on the pick and roll (she barely leaves the paint on defense) and her feet are way too slow to recover on any play. She would get dominated by a lot of the athletic bigs in the SEC. She'll score her share though on offense. Word is she's going to OU which honestly is a perfect fit since they don't put much focus on defense there.

His family and entourage are terrible people. I suspect they will be his downfall if he continues to hang with them. With that said birds of a feather flock together.

Still don’t get it but whatever. Just a discussion and it will have ups and downs to be so discussed, could be like a movie I guess but more just a discussion.

Zero touchdowns scored in the CFP!

They better do everything they can to keep her. She's vital to our success next year. She was underappreciated this year because of a little slump offensively midseason but her defense is a cornerstone of our team. If Vic and the staff can help elevate her confidence, I think she can be a superstar on both sides of the ball. She's a coach's dream too culture wise.

Looks like a 5 dollar cheap knockoff watch. Fitting.

I think you forgot the word “hole” at the end of your title, Paul

Add another national championship to their own list!

Ah thanks Gerry.

I came across this beauty on FB. How embarrassing.

It's a dead period through April 9. No basketball portal visitors until April 10

Certainly not as quick on the incoming as football was; but I guess it’s midweek and visitors would probably be closer to the weekend?

Going to checkout TexAgs this morning to gauge their level of craziness heading into the weekend.

Can he play LG I kid kinda.

This is a scholarship offer. New 105 limit makes it possible. Has upside and it's an extra body. Solid in-state take assuming he commits.
