You and I both. Everyday I click…then sadly close the forum…. All quiet on the WBB front….

Baylor WBB has crushed the Portal this year. Room for one "luxury but not necessity" add.

Y'all are posting like the team is headed toward a funeral and not a celebration.
Currently sitting with the best roster since the 2018/2019 NC team.
How can anyone reasonably bellyache about that result?

I would not be surprised if Nicki added 1 more from the portal. Just my opinion.

Thanks AP. Appreciate your encouragement. Espn puts high on portal performance. Just need that last scoring big to finish our puzzle. Can't blame us for hoping. Just remember how vonleh changed our season.

Getting one more 5 will be nice.

But realistically last year Vonleh was a necessity because the team HAD to play inside out with little dependable 3 point shooting. This upcoming season the team could easily have six players shoot over 35% from 3 and points from the 5 position will be more of a Robin than Batman function.

Strangely the big winner is likely Fontleroy as she won't be constantly doubled/pinched on catch & drive and catch & shoots. She also won't be dead legged from so many intense D minutes. No player was more adversely impacted by the Buggs injury than her.

Will be nice to see the staff focused on balancing minutes rather than trying to coast the car down every hill hoping to save enough gas to finish the race.

I think we've done very well in the portal and with our recruit. I'm not down on what has happened just thinking there might be an additional player. I'm also poking the bears for some chatter.

The outside shooting changes the spaci g a lot on the floor. OSU did a good job without a dominant scorer at the 5 but she could run, rebound and block/alter shots.

Excited for this sesson.

"Could easily have six players shoot over 35% from 3."

Assume you're referring to Van Gytenbeek, Goryanova, Brow, Scott, Deng, and Fontleroy?

Those six are all good shooters. Pemberton shot 32.7% from 3 last season as a primary scorer. She will likely get better looks this year as a complementary scorer. Incoming freshman Johnson shot 80% on FTs last season……that % on volume equals a solid shooting form.

More spread out minutes also = fresher legs which = better jump shooting %.

Six was simply a guestimate given roster, depth, play style, O schemes, defensive schemes likely encountered, etc.
Also think that next season will be the first time that depth allows the team to shoot 3s as part of secondary break opportunities as opposed to pulling the ball out and running half court O.

Yeah, don't know where AP got his idea that our responses were negative rather than enthusiastic desire for more info/content about WBB.

Extremely excited about next year…still would like to read that we have perhaps picked up another five or a seasoned point guard. Won't apologize for that.
