Of course we understand that. It doesn't matter if it's only a topic for WCBB. That's the reality.

South Carolina is going to be tough as nails annually. Signing Olivia Edwards was quite a coup. But there are plenty of talented players out there and we will get more than our share!

You realize most coaches in WBB are tough, right? Mulkey, Geno, Staley, Lawson. Look at the men’s side. This is only a topic because it’s WBB.

So uh, what are we doing here?

She said "part" of it was family. The obvious key was she just didn't like playing for Vic. You can coach hard all day long, but these kids aren't going to understand that.

The key was family. She missed her family. Coach Vic was hard on her because she only played inspired ball in spurts. He wanted her to be like Rori. Even Booker takes plays off.

They expect to have fun. Vic needs to think about his rock-em, sock-em style and adjust to new realities.

I really don’t know what these kids expect or think it’s going to be. You go to the Final Four two years in a row. Vic coaches hard as all the top 4 or 5 best coaches in the country do.

Guess we will see. I think young kids can win in basketball. know that is true on men's side,

Not portal but Oliviyah Edwards to SC

I know most don't think this way, but I factor in NFL career and potential in Arch's case.

Team 3

I originally thought four, but then looked at team three and saw four guys who won national awards at their positions. That's the choice.

I'd like other choices, but I'll take 4.

Team 3 and it’s not even close. Mike Davis doesn’t even have to move the needle the other 4 are too elite

3 as far as the team, and it's not close Best two players at Texas I have seen (and Case Hampton may actually be third) VY and DJ ... make it easy. But then the other three make it a blowout winner

She’s committing to South Carolina. So, ya, everyone is getting better but Texas.

Given that WCBB loses money, how can teams be stupid enough to pay 500k for a player? Who makes these decisions?

Tennessee is back in it for Oliviyah Edwards. Her camp is looking for $500,000. I expect her to go to the highest bidder.

No way there's a bigger fan of our WBB program than you!!

Maybe, but I haven't seen enough from him to suggest that is the case.

I was frustrated too when the departures happened, but it’s really not doom‑and‑gloom. The portal deadline just means players had to enter by that date - they can still choose schools now. There are still plenty of proven players available, and Texas is an attractive landing spot with Booker, a top recruiting class, and a staff that wins. Would I prefer experienced portal players over more freshmen? Absolutely. And that’s exactly what the staff should be targeting. It’s not too late, and it’s not a failure - it’s just the new reality of roster building. I’m confident Texas will add the right pieces.

I'll add that Freeman and Punch will be much better than Haugh this coming year. The media latches on to guys and refuses to admit the truth that actually plays out on the floor. Man for man, Texas is more talented than Florida. Johnson>Boogie, Goosby>Aberdeen, Freeman>Haugh, Punch>Condon, Matas>Chenyilu. That's five for five. We'll see if they can develop the chemistry to be a better team.
