Yeah I just noticed that which is why I edited my response and just stated Aaronette is being followed on Instagram by Nicki Collen.
But both of them have to lose 25-35 pounds to potentially [not guaranteed] be effective players.Wbbfan29 said:
Kyla and Madison are both post players.
Did Kyla put on weight during the season? She didn't appear to be overweight before.Adriacus Peratuun said:But both of them have to lose 25-35 pounds to potentially [not guaranteed] be effective players.Wbbfan29 said:

They have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG Late Spring/Summer/Early Fall ahead if they dream of being rotation players.
Do you have any idea what the coaches expect of her next season? She is mobile for her size, I think she should be ablel to rebound, rimrun, defend and score down low and out to 10-15 feet.Brusinbear2001 said:
i seen her all season working with the Strength and Conditioning coach. I think she took a year off to further her development more than anything. I think it was going to be hard to find her minutes because we did not expect Madison to get hurt. For her to be able to redshirt she could not play anymore games after that.

Herron is WAY too high. Simply not very good.Polarbear said:
We enter the recruiting dead week, with most of the top tier players having already grabbed thier musical chair, leaving only a handful remaining. Rumors on the street suggest that Dauda or Williams are highest on our Christmas list, and I would concur; excellent players who would fill our greatest need. Also suggestions that Whitehorn or Paurova may be possible. Wondering if our signing of Jennings eliminates the possibility of adding another guard.
