What is the deal with the transfer portal? Is LSU the hotbed for players wanting to leap to WNBA?

Yeah she’s been awful. Doesn’t even look like the same prospect from when she was at Louisville…

Ok. Next, we'll get a glimpse of JuJu. I think that's her name. Haven't seen her play.

Nah, that'd be UCONN in women's ball.

Better prospect I'd say, isn't better yet, but is only 18.

It's gonna be interesting to see Clark vs Juju or Bueckers. All top tier scorers. Women's ball has been something this year.

Clark averages WAY more assist than Cam Thomas and averages more assist per game than Cam Thomas' career high in assist.

CC's passing was better than expected, and she dribbles well enough to adjust to the defender. from highlights juju seemed better but i guess we'll see.

cant believe im watching ncaa women's games.

Let's see now -

She led the NCAA in assists per game this year
She's the all-time tournament leader in assists
She had 12 dimes today, to teammates who couldn't finish a contested shot

Yep, she's nothing but a chucker. :banghead:

Also, she had more than twice as many 3FGAs + turnovers as assists, and the majority of her 3FGAs were off the dribble where no one else but her touched the ball. Very Harden-esk. Edit: Cam Thomas was a big stretch.

People say/said the same thing about Trae Young. He led the NCAA is scoring and assist one year as well.

Juju has one of the best shooting forms I've ever seen both men and women. It's textbook.

Except she won…so stop going on. Last year she was in the final four.

Harden made it to the WCF. Doesn't mean they aren't chuckers. Clearly, I was cheering for LSU. Leave me to my bitterness.
