Zya Vann has the same scoring ability as Lee and has good IQ on both sides of the ball. She's got the ability to be molded by Vic into a solid defender too. Her past year looks pretty similar to Lee's freshman year. It's a very good direct replacement. We're just need to fill the holes Rori and Kyla are leaving now.

She isn’t riding the bench but she’ll be in a similar situation where Edwards is the primary scorer and a lot of talent around her. She would have been better somewhere else.

Finally good news!! She’ll replace some of what we lost with Lee. A great 3pt shooter than has the athleticism to defend.

And notice that the national media has not covered this story at all. Not a sign of it anywhere on socials. Condolences to the Prenter family. There's still a lot of talent in the portal so we just got to be patient.

Don't know many coaches that would do that especially for one that didn't play much this season on his team. One thing you can't question is that Vic cares about these girls no matter how tough he is.

Washington Mystics just got the steal of the draft.

How does Rori Harmon not get picked in the first 2 rounds of the WNBA draft? This is a bunch of 💩

Scottie did all this driving the ball horribly too up until the final 7 holes. If he even would have driven the ball average, he would be wearing the green jacket right now.

Great pickup. He plays similar to a poor man's Cam Boozer. That physicality is going to go well with Matas. We should bully some teams now.

Crittendon looks like she has enough physicality to play early and she has the scoring ability to contribute right from the start. If she gets early playing time, by late season she'll have the confidence boost we usually see in young players that get them to contributing more consistently. The Bjorn/Holle comparison is an interesting one. I can see why you think so but Bjorn has a higher ceiling. She's more athletic particularly vertically (she can dunk on her best day) so can finish better near the goal. But if Bjorn could get to where Holle was defensively and 3pt shooting wise, I'd take that in a heart beat.

Not sure why Crump would want to go to Vandy and sit behind Blakes for another 2 years. Maybe she'll play SF? Lee wants a school that has a good medical program. I see her going to Duke more than SC and she'll be more of the #1 scoring option there too versus SC. We could use Jada Williams. Why aren't we hosting her right now?

Is she in the portal?

Unfortunately, the team isn't set up right now to capitalize on Maddie's last season. Very few teams on the women's side get to the Final Four with mostly new players on their roster much less win a championship in Vic's system. Unless we get a couple experienced stars in the portal that can pick up things fast, my expectations will be tempered a bit for next year.

Except Spaights is an open gate on defense. 🤣She'll have to develop ALOT on defense to even get serious playing time with Vic, but I'm sure she knows that.

She won't have a better opportunity at a contender than here where she'd be set to start unless we get a star PG from the portal. Bri is still a year away from being a consistent contributor and leader on the team.
