Let'sGoZips94 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Not Akron-related, but BUGS women's basketball hosts South Carolina - the #1 team in the country - next week. How cool is that? Wish men's sports had this type of genuine competition instead of "buy games" for the big programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Staley has had no issues traveling to small schools. She has played and had her team travel to some HBCUs as well. Plus, she probably wanted to give her two players on the roster from Ohio a game in their home state. EDIT: There is also a class of 2025 recruit & Class of 2026 recruit from Ohio that South Carolina has offered. So that may be an additional, bonus reason for it too.

Luckily my daughter is almost as tall and was stronger so she was able to keep her away from the basket, but not so much for anyone else on our team or any other team for that matter. Naomi dominated almost everyone else. She's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 2025 is Dee Alexander from Cincinnati Purcell Marian & the 2026 is actually Saniyah Hall from Shaker Heights Laurel. Alexander is ranked #4 in the country for the class of 2025 and Hall is ranked #3 in the country for the class of 2026. Benson is actually ranked #57 in the country for class of 2025. South Carolina could be looking at Benson and some of the others you mentioned (I haven't seen an offer from South Carolina for Benson yet), but I know for a fact that South Carolina has offered Alexander and Hall. South Carolina has a small pipeline to Ohio now. They had Zia Cooke from Toledo Rogers HS, and currently they have Bree Hall (Huber Hts Wayne HS) and Sakima Walker (Columbus Africentric HS) on their roster. Those that don't follow girls basketball closely, don't realize how talented of a state Ohio is in girls basketball. I guarantee there will be at least one or two Ohioans on a Final Four roster this season when it's in Cleveland.

72 Roo Posted January 4, 2024 Report Share Posted January 4, 2024 I watched the women at OU. Without Haney we are pathetic at PG. Woods is a turnover machine. She doesn't run the point as much as she dribbles hoping something will surface. She repeatedly went into the paint only to be blocked or lose the ball. Bass is incredible, far better than the rest of the team. I thought coach Ryan had recruited a few good D1 players to support Bass. Mobley is a good, young addition, but that is not the case with the rest of the newbies, except Haney. I hope during the course of the season he can put a more cohesive team out. Against OU they looked lost w/o Haney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copley Don Posted January 4, 2024 Report Share Posted January 4, 2024 If our second best player is a PG who played 30 minutes and had 3 assists that’s worrisome. After Ball State the schedule gets more manageable so should see improvement throughout January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
