Some less than pleasant words posted about Arizona by Maya Nnaji, the formerly top ranked recruit out of Minnesota who abruptly left the earlier this season.

 

[StClone]

Arizona head coach is a piece of work.

She certainly speaks her mind, sometimes it is more an opinion than fact. If she goes beyond past stuff she seriously is going to get a stiff reprimand if not a pink slip.

You know what’s really unfortunate about all of the media attention solely going to Clark? JuJu Watkins (USC freshmen) is having one hell of a season and living up to the hype. She dropped 51 last night to upset No. 4 Stanford.

She’s averaging more points than Clark her first year and averages a little over 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game too. She plays on the west coast, so it doesn’t help, but I happened to catch the game last night and damn is she fun to watch.

The real question is: Does she whine and question every call? Can't be America's darling unless you do that.

This has a lot to do with the PAC 12's network failure. Almost all of her games are only on PAC 12 TV which means almost no one not west coast has seen her play. Same goes for Alissa Pilli, Utah's state, no one sees her because of the PAC 12 deal. There are still WBB fans who don't even know who Pilli is. Watkins will go head to head with ND's Hannah Hidalgo for hype and PR next year once USC get's into the Big Ten.

Several of us follow her. I have since 2022. I just don't like to compare them because I don't follow the other if I can avoid it.

It’s not comparing them. It’s just straight acknowledging what she’s doing as a freshmen the same way they lauded Clark. Watkins is really fun to watch.

Yes, she is fun to watch! I've been doing it before JuJu led the 17 and under team to a gold medal. Well, I would be comparing stats, personality, and more.

 

[undersized_post]

Juju and her 51 points were talked about extensively on the Fox broadcast of Iowa's game tonight. So that's a step in the right direction. It's a shame USC doesn't have more games on national TV. Fortunately that will change next year when they join the Big Ten.

FIBA is holding Olympic qualifiers this next week in four locations around the world. One is hosted in Brazil. Scuttlebutt is that South Carolina's Kamilla Soares Cardoso will play for Brazil.

The Cardoso stuff fits the non-Cyclone thread but got me thinking about what the status of Stephanie Soares is. She's 12-13 months post ACL. She was on the Brazil team previously. Wonder if she is going to play for Brazil, or make the team, for the Olympics games this summer?

 

[BoxsterCy]

Sooner about to finish off KSU and move Sooners into first place.

Fox announcers have sort of turned the game into a 40 minute Madison Booker lovefest. She is having a good game, 20 pts and 6 assists. But she's also added 7 TOs which is pretty much her m.o. each game but she isn't a PG and having to play PG so I can't diss her too much for that.

And Cardaso will be playing for Brazil.

For what it's worth, Stephanie Soares is on Brazil's preliminary roster of 15 players. I think it needs to be cut down to 12 though. Per these links:

Thanks. I didn't have much luck looking myself.

Since we are in the home stretch, it is interesting how injuries, team development, and luck have made this Preseason Prediction on CBS Sports look off. Oklahoma has 1st place for now but has maybe three challenges remaining. We need some wins! Sooners are at TCU before our tilt at Hilton this Saturday. I have not watched a full OKL game so I don't know Baranczyk's team. We usually play them tough at home. Oklahoma's win streak is six!

Fennelly has said that Stephanie is in Brazil with their national team trying to have the team qualify for the Olympics.

Wish her all the best. She is a rare talent.
