Will see how this impacts things on their roster. I do wonder about one of the forwards who was a bench player will enter transfer portal. The one I wonder about is Aaliyah Roberson. It's because she won't be a starter. Also what if one of the two forwards that TCU got would get out of letter of intent.

---

#6 scorer on a BAD team…….10-22 record, 3-15 in conference.
43% shooter. Really bad for a post player. Only decent stat was blocks.

TCU seems to be pursuing the Big by Committee approach. But unlike Baylor, not sure they have the necessary perimeter scoring to make it work.

Would love to see Baylor WBB have enough depth to press TCU for 48 minutes given the current TCU roster.

---

I thought the NCAA women's college games were 40 minutes, when did that change?

Not surprising if they offered huge money. If Baylor did offer $300,000 as rumored she is not worth more than that.

We really need to sign a true Center that is for sure!!

Yes, if tcu can get 4 centers to commit I'm pretty sure we can as well.

Does anyone know what centers are still in the portal?

My bad. Was dragged to a Mavs game recently and had that number etched into my memory. Started counting down departure at tipoff. Hours of my life lost.

Going back to the international post player. Would you be concerned she missed last season with injuries to both knees? I would be Leary of that a bit but like the multi year outlook.

Not without knowing more. I didn't catch WHAT the knee injuries were. Nothing led me to believe ACL, but maybe I missed it.

Young player. Still growing? Growth issues?
Overuse?
Lack of proper strength and flexibility training.
Nutrition?

All issues we could address at highest level.

She had a pretty shot, ran floor well, was aggressive offensively at the rim….

Coaches will do due diligence, but could see her as a great add!

Thanks for some thoughts.

She moves so well. One of the highlights I saw, she was sneaky quick with her movements

Yes, she shows some flashes of being a taller DLB - OH my goodness !!!

After following Coach Aaron back Vanessa de Jesus has now started following the baylorwbb page and her and coach nicki are now mutuals.

what would yall think about Jersey as a big i think with the mix of what we have it would be good to run it by committee. That would give us three bodies and they are all very different. i see coach Tari is following her but not sure.

Don't know that I would be opposed to it, but I have read she was constantly out of position when on the floor. That could just be frustrated LSU fans. Will admit, she is one I haven't really watched much of.

i feel like she hasn't played much she sat a year played a little bit at Arkansas and then barely at LSU. I feel like CNC would be able to tap into her versatility and find her strengths as a player.

I honestly think that we should give it a try, i wouldn't mind it , i think we still have room for a player like her, with her size and for coach nicki to really bring her versatility out in our system i think it could work.

Have an Elite 8 level roster at this point.
One more rotation quality post and an athletic PG and it jumps to Final Four level quality.

First time in Collen era to likely be the deeper team in most games.
And mostly exited the Tiny Team zone.

---

You sure are optimistic.

We've made it out of the 2nd round all of one time in the 4 years that Nicki Collen has been our head coach (with two of those games ending in losses on our home floor).

We lost a lot of key personnel this season.

But somehow, we're on the verge of making the Final 4 all of a sudden?

I understand being a "glass half full" kind of person, but CNC has given us no reason to believe we're a lock to even make it out of the first weekend at this point, at least not yet.

Here's a more realistic expectation:

Just make it to the Sweet 16 - which used to be a given with this program.

On3 is reporting Fulwiley is "officially" in the transfer portal with Do Not Contact Tag. She knows where she is going. Probably whoever has the highest NIL $$. Likely she will be ranked #1 transfer.

You missed the point of the post.

1) the comment was about the quality of the roster not the likely outcome. No one can reasonably predict outcomes without seeing a good sample of games with the pieces fully assembled.

2) last season the team finished 2nd in the B12 and would likely have made the Sweet 16 in 3 quadrants but got a bad matchup in 2nd Round in its quadrant.

3) last year's roster had three glaring problems: lack of depth, lack of size, and lack of dependable outside shooting. All three areas have been significantly addressed already and the Portal has weeks remaining.

---

I would add to this the fact that between 2012 and 2018, most people would agree we had a Final Four level roster but never made it out of the Elite 8.

---

And before anyone refutes the statement because of the dates included, it is clearly apparent that he means the seasons between the championship seasons. We did underperform in those years, mostly because we had not prepared ourselves during conference to meet the type of teams we would see the second weekend of the NCAA tourney. We had cakewalks through the Big XII and then hit real competition in the post-season. Also the level of competition we saw in the SS those years, we are now seeing in the second round.

The B12 is even worse now than it was when the prior coach was here.I don't exactly see CNC building a rigorous non con schedule. I could be missing something. So absolutely correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Exactly, the Big 12 is weak and it got way weaker when Texas and Oklahoma left. The non conference is weaker than water also!

Did Okot ever commit to anyone? I don't recall seeing anything.

Not yet.

Isn't Okot the one SC is heavily involved with? I haven't heard that she's looked at anyone else yet

Yeah, that's how seeding works. If you're a 4 seed, you will probably play a pretty decent team. The Big 12 is not any better now than it was in those years, there's just not a dominant team anymore.
