Re: Eris Lester Has Vandy on Finalist List
I'd totally love to have Lester. Her crossover is ridiculous. Imagine if we got both Blakes and Lester. How sweet would that be? Coach White ... boy, I'm not a fan. I see her coach a lot up here because I go to Sun games and see her on TV. Putting aside the personal stuff -- I have no knowledge abou...

Re: Eris Lester Has Vandy on Finalist List
Mike, Go Vandy, I asked a former Boston University assistant about that very scenario: What happens when offers exceed scholarships available? He told me that there is a continuous dialogue with players and that essentially whoever accepts the offer first, gets the scholarship. He also said that in ...

Re: Ava Jaye Black Commits to Vandy
I like the player. She's hard-nosed, gritty, unafraid to take the big shot. I think she will help the program, just not right away. And my fear is that with the portal so easily accessible, she may not stay. I actually feel that way about two of the magnificent seven Ralph has coming in this year. I...

Re: 100 Days
Mike A huge thanks to you for keeping us so informed on this site. I'm so appreciative for all the information you share with us. And Go Vandy is so correct: A decade of frustration under Balcomb and White is over ... and it starts this season when our ladies take the floor. Just can't wait to see t...

Re: Italy Trip - Practices begin soon!
I'd be surprised if Ralph used this strategy, but it got me thinking about the old days at UNC when Dean Smith had his "Blue Team" -- I think around the time of Phil Ford. The Blue team came in (5 subs) with the sole mission of wreaking havoc for 3-4 minutes. And it worked. I do agree that...

Re: Italy Trip - Practices begin soon!
Ralph certainly has the depth to vary her starters. The lineup you mentioned would be 4 guards and 1 post. I like it. Ralph could also go with three guards, Washington, and another freshman post against bigger schools like SC and the Bayou Brats. I'm honestly at the point where I just want to get th...

Re: Italy Trip - Practices begin soon!
I like the breakdown above Dorefan. I don't see Madison Greene ever playing small forward though with the size we have added. Perhaps she finds her way to a shooting guard at times. And I doubt Cambridge will play any forward either. We just have too much size now. Looking at the roster the way Dore...

Re: Interesting Take on LSU's Upcoming Season
Interesting video. I'm not thoroughly aware of these players' personalities and backgrounds, so it's hard for me to critical assess the video's contents. But if this guy knows his stuff, what a delightful season it will be for Mulkey and those Bayou Brats!

Re: Orlagh Gormley Receives Vandy Offer
Further thoughts .... Ralph has brought in 7 new players, 2 through the portal who were highly rated on Hoopgurlz and 5 frosh who were also highly recruited. I look at these 7 as a major recruiting victory for Ralph and her program. It has been a while since Vandy has brought in a recruiting class a...

Re: Orlagh Gormley Receives Vandy Offer
I'm actually coaching younger kids in AAU now -- first time in 25 years I'm not coaching high school kids. My daughter is a fourth grader so I'm not around the Jags elite high school showcase teams this AAU season, so my information is limited. I have not spoken to Ava Jaye or family directly, but h...

Re: Orlagh Gormley Receives Vandy Offer
Mike I have seen her play since she is in New England. Exudes confidence and poise on the floor. Quick crossover. Loves the runner. I am surprised VU offered. She's small. Can't be more than 5'6" and doesn't have elite level speed and quickness like smaller SEC guards have. I'm not sold on her ...

Re: Agata Makurat Has Arrived
I cannot wait to see this team play. We have some talented new players, and if our injured guards return in full health, we should win 17 games this season and play more competitively against the elite schools in the conference. This is a huge year for this program.

Re: Trinity Wilson announces her commitment to Vandy
Mike
I've seen a little of her film on the internet. I must say I'm somewhat surprised by Vandy offering her, mainly because this year's class is so incredibly athletic. Do you think CSR needed a bigger sized post to bang with SEC centers?

Re: A Dull Answer to an Interesting Question
Well said, Mike. Three things to guard our optimism: 1. As you mentioned, this team is very young, which means they will be making mistakes in games in an incredibly brutal conference. Young teams will make mistakes ... but they will learn from them. 2. Because they are so young, they do not yet kno...

Re: Just thinking ahead
Becoming (once again) a strong team in a strong SEC is one thing, competing for a national title is quite another. I just wonder though if it matters to sisters to play together in college or if each sister needs her separate space. If it is the latter, then she will end up elsewhere.

And honestly, with Pissott and Oliver transferring through the portal, I'm even more excited than I was several weeks ago when thinking about our 5 incoming recruits. I'm im...
