If Prince can stay healthy, a big if, they could be a dangerous duo. I don't know how much support they will have but their coach seems to be a good recruiter.BearTiger said:
Lol, it's TCU, they're not big name WBB. She isn't going to bring in more than their norm 1,000-2,000. If she helps to increase, maybe extra 500-1,000. I don't see more than that. Who cares about TCU.
Yea, she has shown that she isn't flexible position wise for the next level. She'll have an overseas career, and maybe she has come to terms with that, but not surviving in the SEC is pretty telling compared to the WNBA. She is too short and too slow.BearTiger said:
HVL was told by the WNBA they wanted more than just volume scoring at Louisville and chances were not good she would be drafted in the 1st round. WNBA advised her she would need to improve her defense significantly and gain PG experience. She didn't have to play good defense or play PG at Louisville. That's why she transferred to LSU. But she didn't significantly improve in defense or PG. The SEC offense was too quick, they passed by her regularly to the basket. The SEC defense was too physical, she couldn't get many open shots. She had difficult time scoring as a PG in the SEC.
Maybe TCU won't require her to play all-out defense or play PG. She can go back to focusing on volume shooting. Problem is the WNBA won't draft her in 1st round since she didn't master the 2 key areas of defense and PG.

According to this interview yesterday, she likes TCU, but hasn't signed there yet, and is considering other schools, as well.

Tough break for TCU, losing out on Cavinder, and maybe losing out on HVL, as well.

you would think Goodman would've deleted/corrected tweet if she felt it wasn't going to still happen thoBearTiger said:
Looks like Goodman didn't get this one right. HVL officially said she only visited TCU, she never committed, never signed letter of intent. This is very high profile from the beginning, what a mess for TCU and HVL.
