THIS. She gets to where she can hit the elbow jumper and she completely changes how defenses have to line up against her and the team as a whole.BU71 said:I'd be happy is she can develope a reliable 15' jumper. It would make her much harder to guard.Adriacus Peratuun said:She won't be a reliable 3 point shooter until she totally reworks her shot mechanics.Dcheetah said:
Need to work on my reading skills. DLB did work on her 3 last summer and was doing pretty well but missed the few she took during the season. Would love to see her become more consistent with her midrange game but hitting some 3s could certainly open things up for her.
Not Nina Davis bad, but bad.

Please, please, oh, please! BU is the place for you!
Any idea when a decision will be made?
It's really anybody's guess. Who really knows.
Has she already visited Tennessee?
I just wonder what CNC comment on X saying , Huge Week and then Sadie responded and said sunny and 80 degrees and a big week in Waco means?
I took it as likely commit. But now may mean simply a visit.
What I was thinking as well.
i think Dauda alone is huge if we could get her to actually come to waco. I think why the program is having to offer now is arguably better in terms of like she could have a chance to start, she is not coming into a brand new coach, we have the chance to make a deep run in the tournament, our system allows for her to shoot the three and get her in different places to score. We also have Bella who she is super close with and who doesn't love Bella!!

I was looking at IG and stumbled across this post--never realized Fontleroy, Dauda, and S'Mya Nichols were on same AAU team

There is chatter and bragging at Tennessee they will be getting Dauda's commitment. Big $$ and big NILs at Rocky Top. Who knows, it's a guessing game, she has been quiet about everything.
If somehow 2024 WER Mid-Major Coach of the Year Kim Caldwell can land Barker and Dauda at Tennessee, they would immediately challenge South Carolina and UConn for the 2025 National Championship. https://t.co/2IwE4yPpNl pic.twitter.com/naCirc8vjL

"W" COY vs "Mid major" COY…..hummmmm. I know who I'd choose…we shall see
I know there has been optimism around the program she will choose us. We will see. Things can certainly change.
You'd choose whoever is going to pay you more.BUatbirth said:

They didn't fire a good coach to make "competitive offers". They're motivated and capable of outbidding us.
I hope I'm wrong.
At some point, too much is too much after a certain point and someone doesn't always choose who pays more, especially when location and personalities come into play. If it was all about money, Baylor MBB would be looking for a new coach.sizzles0 said:You'd choose whoever is going to pay you more.BUatbirth said:

If she doesn't come here, anyone know what Plan B or C may be?
I was hoping we could get Dauda or Williams to commit. Williams is gone, I'll hold on to hope that Dauda chooses Baylor but if it comes down to NIL this does cast some doubt. Trying to stay positive!sizzles0 said:You'd choose whoever is going to pay you more.BUatbirth said:

Baylor will pay good NIL but not insane amount. If she chooses Tennessee we move on.
In light of the strong chemistry they have built it is wise not to go overboard on NIL. That could lead to a mersenary climate that we don't want. I see Baylor as a school that can develop the right kind of player, transfer or recruit, and eleveate their game to the next level, given time to do so.Bear3 said:

Do we think we will get any more transfers?
Any updates?
I think we will.

Hoping the coaching change at TN will help persuade her to choose us.
Vols posting at Vol Nation don't have any idea of Dauda's real interest or if she has visited but just want her to be a Vol. Maybe they will get her but Vol Nation does not seem to have any concrete info. She has visited here. KS may be a darkhorse too because she played AAU with S'Mya Nichols too. I still feel good about our chances. If she doesn't become a Bear, bet Nicki will find someone overseas to fill that spot.
I'm betting we are working on a NIL deal. I feel better with Vol Nation saying she hasn't visited to their knowledge. CNC keeps recruiting very private...Maryam's family liked Baylor coming out of HS (wasn't all about Kim)... Bella and Maryam are very good friends, played AAU ball together.
i really like our odds she also will have the freedom to shoot the 3, she could be great in our defensive scheme. But offensively she can be another big target in the pick and roll game, she has the ability to pop out as well. She has experience and it would elevate our team a lot!!
