She most certainly will. She already has injected a ton of talent into the program.

Thanks for the thread. I am not very familiar with this roster. Any chance you could shed some light on players to look for, impact transfers, etc...

Thanks

Ava McDonald is really the star. SEC Freshmen of the Year. All-SEC Honors. Team was bad last year. With a lot of the infusion of portalers we’ll get a better sense in the exhibitions on what they have.

Any info on where to stream the games? Saw this morning game 1 was moved up to August 12th 🎉 can’t wait. Coach Bates is a breath of fresh air for the program.

Games will be on SEC Network at SEC+ for conference. Noncon games are probably gonna be on ESPN+ for the most part.
