They are young. Coach Vic will bring them along slowly. All of our starters plus Crump are returning, except Rori of course. All of these incoming freshmen will get minutes. Development is so important. Look at Lee, Carlton,  and Preston after a year! Huge difference.  The weight training, coaching, and being around the team makes a huge difference. Coach said you have to stack classes in order to remain among the elite. USC is going to be damn good next year.

My grandmother played basketball at her high school. This photo is from 1913. Parral, Chihuahua, Mexico. She is the one touching the ball.

Goosby has looked good in practices. Excited to see how he looks tonight.

Pretty sure they played 6 member teams back then.

Thank you for sharing.  My father was born in 1913.

We will miss Kyla Oldacre who wasn’t a starter but played more minutes than Cunningham. Work your portal magic Vic. Rori will be difficult to replace. Preston is not the answer. Need some portal help even with the freshman coming in. She looked good in the Mcdaag tonight but will need work to be ready.

I think Preston can be the answer.  Understand, there probably isn't another Rori anywhere.  But I have seen Preston run the team and do so at speed, and do it well.

Surround Preston with a good team and she will make it go.  Vic will surround her with a good team.

Lizzy Spaight will be a better scorer/offensive threat than Rori ... and likely early on. 

Not saying better as an all-around player, but different. Lizzy has real scoring punch/ability ... defense has to be built with all these players over time. 

Crittendon more talented than Carlton.
