Wait! She got ten blocks and ZERO fouls in a game! That's some SKILL on D.
For sure. Go back and watch the Arkansas/South Carolina game. Douda blocked Cardoso! She's a BALLER, that one.
Facts
Indeed!
The options are crazyyyyy, less playing time for her but the trade off of being coached by Dawn Staley and company plus the standard playing at SC are all great things for her especially if her goal is to play in the W
yes, And Staley knows how to develop fast a player and do changes to win. Dauda can win Kitts position and outplay her. Kitts is a wonderful backup, don't how stron gg she can be as a starter even if she deserves it. Edwards will play as Tessa last years. It will be Raven and Te-Hina Death Tour (masked as a repeat) with Fawiley as the executioner
South Carolina don't rebuild they just keep reloading
You seem to have forgotten Sania Feagin as a post player. Now we're talking some combination of Watkins/Kitts/Douda/Feagin/Tac/Edwards at the 2 post positions, but I ALSO think we could see Dawn deploying a big lineup with either Douda or Kitts defaulting to a wing position, adding versatility with either Kitts or Douda rotating into the post. I really see this as a highly underrated move because of the aforementioned versatility this gives Dawn Staley. Where before Carolina would have to count on the players at the 1 thru 3 shooting from downtown, now she could throw Douda in at the 4, and you've instantly got 4 players who can shoot the 3. I also see this opening up the court for someone like Milaysia Fulwiley or Raven Johnson or even Tessa Johnson or PaoPao. I know I sound like a broken record, but there is just versatility, versatility, and more versatility with this roster.
Dawn could play 4 guards and Douda and have literally 5 3 point shooters on the court OR she could do as I said earlier and play Kitts or Douda at the 3 and go with a HUGE lineup. Put Breezy in there at the 2 and you get even bigger. You know, it was said awhile ago, when certain players declared for the portal, that Dawn Staley posted a picture on twitter of her with a 'cat that ate the canary' grin on. I have to wonder if it had anything to do with this. In effect, this becomes a Douda for Sahnya Jah trade, and that's one I think Dawn Staley would take 100 times out of 100.
Moreover, LSU, Carolina's top competition these last 2 years, loses Angel Reese, Katari Poole, and Hailey Van Lith all in one fell swoop, just furthering the divide in talent between South Carolina, and then everyone else.
Just as a final say for those who read this who hate Dawn Staley and South Carolina, people, we're not great at ANY OTHER SPORT. We're not perennial football greats. We've been to the men's final 4 just once in our history. We haven't made any noise in baseball since Ray Tanner was coach. Outside of women's soccer where Shirley Smith is a fantastic coach, we really suck at most other sports. Women's basketball is the one sport we South Carolina alum have where we do well, so cut us some slack. Let us Gamecock alum have this one thing to enjoy.
As a Gamecock Fam, I don't understand your comments toward Quita. She is extremely knowledgeable and has my total respect 😊😊
We are great at baseball too! Just saying lol 💪🏾🐓👌🏾
@@go2hvn2008 Towards Quita????? No no no... towards OTHERS that might read it. You ARE aware there are people who hate the Gamecocks, right? I never said anything about Quita hating the 'Cocks.
@@lilbillionaire7298 Hey, I love my Yardcocks, but we haven't even made a CWS in nearly 15 years. We did have a great run under Tanner, though.
True but we stay in the conversation of being valid! I was on the edge this season 😆 its all love though ❤️🐓
I love this pickup! Let’s go gamecocks!!! Nice shirt Quita 😄
I’ve watched Maryam play for several years. I am super excited that she got picked up by Coach Staley. Great for both Maryam and South Carolina! With her strong work ethic and dedication, she will fit nicely into South Carolina’s system. She will get stronger with Body by Molly. SC has a proven track record of developing Bigs so she’s in good hands. By playing with such a high level of talent, her game will only get better.
As for what she can do for South Carolina, I have a feeling that Adhel is still recovering & may not be ready this Fall. Maryam can help us in the post position. Ashlyn tends to be foul prone so Maryam can come off the bench should that happen. Maryam won’t start this year, but I expect that she will get solid minutes. She will start her senior year.
I'm glad she pick South Carolina with her very good skills,I think it's great with Adhel Tac coming off injury
Adel tac 6'6 "center on the sidelines last year all American from Tx. Chile Kitts out of Flordia didn't make McDonald's all American because they went to South Carolina early. We are thicker than a snicker. Dawn Stanley made the transport portal go crazy. Gamecocks smashing everything. She's that extra player we will take her baby.
South Carolina gonna be the ish again next year💯
WELCOME TO THE FAMILY SISTER DAUDA !!!
I love it! I see a Repeat Tour! Lets Go Gamecocks!
I approve this msg 🔥
Adds depth and versatility! Dawn will have a plethora of lineup options!
Congrats to her and Gamecocks! The talent continues to grow at SC. As they are currently the best that keep getting better. Looking forward to seeing how Dawn coaches is this team. Quita, love the shirt!!
Chloe Kitts going show off an show out she adds that 3pt shot we will have 2 stretch 4's that called floor spacing 😂😂 Let's Go !! See you in Vegas!!!
She need to take more shots contested or not she need to shoot more her shot is really good I remember when she didn’t missed a shot she took in a game
Thank you, Quita!!! Like Dawn says "the Gamecocks ARE highly favored".
Excellent breakdown my Sister on women college basketball 🏀 and the WNBA as well I truly appreciate this
Our thoughts?!? Ain't nothin' to think. SC is going back-to-back. Take that to the bank.
Dauda & Feagin
Dauda & Kitts
I forgot about Joyce!!! Cant wait for next season!!
South Carolina loss the rebound battle one time and that was against LSU in the SEC tournament. Adding another big helps with rebounding and depth. She will stretch the floor and allow our guards to have easy lanes to the basket. This will make 5 straight final 4’s for us 🦃
Great episode Quita
South Carolina now has two and an half starting Team!!
What a joke. They may as well close down the WNBA. After Clark there will be no player with her own fan base to fill those arenas.
@@destinypirate😂😂😂😂 the delusion
@@girlmonkey do you often just throw around insults senselessly or do you actually think about the topic at hand. Try using your head for a little bit of logic and think about what I said instead of limiting yourself.
@@girlmonkey sadly you just jump to insults when you don't even understand the logic contained within the statement. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. What could possibly make the statement that I noted true
@@destinypirate
SC sells out its arena and has been number 1 in attendance the past 9 yrs. I wouldn't go see Clark if it were free. I'm just not interested in watching a player just stand at the logo and inefficiently jack up 3 pointers UNCONTESTED. But you do you. Meanwhile, I'll continue to watch the well oiled machine at SC win chips😂.
Good morning ❤
Joyce Edward's and Maddie we got 2 starting line up. We are whipping feet and running legs😂
This squad is STACKED!!! I’m ❤it!!!
Where does Sakima Walker fit in ??
Yep she’s a baller..she s plays on both sides of the ball & has a short game 3 shot..she’ll be getting serious minutes
You’re rocking with Coach Dawn I’m in new subscriber
Thanks!❤😮
Thank you!!
What up Quita✌🏿
Their depth just keeps on getting deeper! Definitely a win for the Gamecocks!
Coach got a squad 💪💪💪
Whewwww!! Amazing!!
They have a Powerhouse 👍
the self-proclaimed "recruiting Guru" Gary Redus at Lsu whiffed again on finding a post to replace Angel. Perhaps Del Rosario will work on her concrete shoes in the off season but Mulkey's failures with developing high school talent tells me no.
LSU is good. We hired Seimone Augustus as our assistant coach & ADR will have someone special training her. Won't give the details on that. Just know we are excited to see that leap for her sophomore year.
Rich get Richer is spot on we are preparing too run it back. If she can get that 3pt shooting to 35 -36% she will play a lot none of our bigs are a stretch 4 this is a huge signings.Plus her defense will definitely get better here we go!!
Smith that got hurt last year is pretty good. When she got hurt last year I thought well they won't win it all now. Dont sleep on Smith, she nice.
This is an idiotic comment . Why do you assume they were trying to get her ? We literally have ADR and Shaniyah Smith who was averaging 16 and 7 before getting hurt . We don’t have to have every damn transfer . We are good . Throw 6’5 jersey girl in there too . Although she isn’t a forward that’s still some length. LSU does not need to get after every high profiled player . We are good ! No one is crying in LSU land
@jamessimmons7476 you could've fool me. From what I've seen and heard Lsu do go after high profile players they just don't get the commitment. Lol
If she wanted to go with Mulkey why didn’t she go to LSU?
She wanted to go to Mulkey when she was at Baylor. She didn't know Mulkey would be leaving Baylor. Because she loved Baylor and she ended up picking Arkansas
LSU has a different culture than Baylor. Maybe too flashy for Dauda? IDK. For whatever reason, she thought SC was a better fit for her. Or, maybe Kim didn’t recruit her this time around.
Kim didn't recuit her this time around why I don't know they have plenty of guards this year but know back up post players 😂😂
@@helenoftroy1227I'm sure Kim would have loved to have her at LSU. She's a better option than Rosario. If she had wanted to go to LSU, I think she would have gone initially.
If being a national champion and a post player drawing attn from the W was on her mind, she made the best choice.
Dawn is best college coach...she gon be like John Wooden when UCLA dominated mens bball in 60s and 70s. These other coaches cant compete
Have you forgotten what Geno has done at UConn?
@@user-gn3wq1mt7g nah he didnt win as many titles, please stop
Not even close, the best coach is one who does the most with normal players. Krusty the Clown could coach 10 all stars to buzz saw the tournament. This is just the result of allowing the monopolization for talent. If we really love wbb we should pressure the NCAA to distribute talent. This will build the stars who will make their own legends and then bring their own fans to build the WNBA.
@@destinypirate nah john calipari lost with 10 all stars. Just stop
@@goldbrick2563 what are you 12? " just stop"... If you can't understand basketball talk then why bother. Calipari did not have 10 5 Star players.
If you like corruption and destroyed sports go start betting on regional soccer games.
Some people actually like basketball so that means there needs to be some parity... Or would you have Denver getting five first round draft picks next year and every year after that
Wow that blocking record is incredible. SC needs her...im surprised lsu ( mulkey) didnt get her. Iowa would of loved her.. Jen really is bluder 2.0 plus. But if u can play for dawn u take it.. Plus 80% chance u get a national championship while At SC
11 player rotation to 12 it’s raps ggs give us the trophy 😂😅
Enjoyed your review of S. Carolina recruit Maryam. If you haven’t done so already, could you review LSU recruits: Jersey Wolfenbarger and the 3 others Coach Kim got from the Portal.
Nah lsu sucks!
Super team
They definitely about to repeat
Yay!!
Her shooting percentage is Actually pretty good. It depends on how many midrange and three pointer she takes. It’s right on par with the NBA. Wings that shoot a lot of 3s, mid, and dunks. 46%.
Two of the players that are not McDonald’s All Americans enrolled early at Carolina or they probably would have been McDonald’s All Americans.
It’s not all about playing give a championship it’s a team thang
She can run 5 bigs and then 4 guards and one big that's the line up
The sports talk programs for South Carolina talk about Dauda getting g at least 25 minutes per game.
No way she will get that much. With Kitts and Watkins deserving to start and Joyce needing minutes this season Dauda will come in as needed but will play more next season.
If Dauda comes in and play better than the others see will get playing team , Dauda can shoot the 3 ball gives her a leg up on the other post players in that regard.
The line up rotations for Dawn Staley is endless in 2025. The number of fresh talented bodies Sou Car will assault other teams with (post & perimeter) almost ensures a repeat of 2024.
Hopefully she has great dribbling ability
No doubt they will have another undefeated season.
Sakima Walker is coming back!! One more year. Let's Go Cocks
Janiah Barker is going to UCLA
She should sit out 1yr for Emotional Intelligence improvement purposes with counseling...she has the physical skills and abilities to be a GOAT 🐐
@@OpenLookBasketballTV mmmmm expound pleaseeee
After Milla's game winning 3, posts gotta drain them from now on. New rules.
Leta go USC 💪🏾💪🏾🐓🐓🐓
Sounds like another national championship.
What kitts gonna do???
Be second on the team in scoring behind Fulwiley, or 3rd also behind Tac.
Play
Continue playing with South Carolina..she's not leaving a championship team
Kitts & Edwards & Dauda 🔥 🔥
Continue to be great, progress towards greatness, and continuing to evolve her game ….. she and Joyce play perfectly together and I’m expecting them to flourish together
& The Poorer get Poorer 😆. Smh
LFG Gamecocks!
Why all the excitement about this acquisition? The Gamecock's gain little, if anything from this. Arkansas was terrible last year. There's a reason why Arkansas has so many players bailing out.
Lol Iowas fans and others are punching the air they didn’t land her Iowa will be ranked 25 when season starts while the big dogs sc UConn usc Nd Lsu ucla Ohio st will the ones to watch out for nc state also
The rich get richer
dawn staley just got the next aliyah boston. someone who’s a threat from any where on the court
Dauda as a floor spacing 4/5 will make this team even scarier. 😭
Before it's all said and done, as much as I hate her leaving, she will coach an NBA team I would suggest an all women staff of maybe Swoops and law as assistances and Lisa Lez as Management.
they’ve already tried to get her. she doesn’t want to coach the nba nor does she need the money so it’s not happening.
🐔🐔🐔🐔feeling cocky
SMH - This is such destructive garbage! How can anyone support the continued destruction of women's basketball?... Everyone who cares about wbb should write/call the NCAA, demanding they become a real Association (Of the 350 D1 teams, just 2 or 3 teams get half of the 5 stars!)....No other association or League allows for the talent monopolies like the w NCAA. We haven't seen anything like this elsewhere for over half a century, when Red Aurbach's back door control of the NBA had his Celtics win every championship, early destroying the league, which wasn't saved until 1969 when thankfully the draft and salary cap were reformed and Kareem went to Milwaukee and then other stars to other teams.
It's amazing that nobody has learned the #1 lesson of the Caitlin Clark phenomena... Clark had the courage to buck the monopoly system and the conventional wisdom that you needed to go to an all-star team to become WNBA ready. Instead she chose her own team where she could build her own legend - she made the greatest story even in WNCAA because of this, building the biggest fan base ever and even brought these fans with her.
- Fans can't be built IN the WNBA, because the WNBA doesn't have a strong/positive traction in the zeitgeist. For examplee, bring in a European player and she won't be famous at all - no matter how great she is. (We have even seen the NBA suffer from not having players build their own legend BEFORE going to the league, and the NBA is established in the zeitgeist.). IF a womens basketball player is going to be a superstar, her light has to explode forth in the ncaa. Just like the night sky, a new star's light can't fully be seen if coming out behind a cluster of other stars.
- Being on an all star team weakens a 5 stars development because they only face real competition a couple of games in an entire year and they coast off each other. We saw this last year, every year - with uSC and Ucon where only injury or a FF team might stop them. We see the results in the WNBA too, where even the best (like A'ja) need years to develop more and many (like Boston) lack real discipline and pressure experience. On a unique team, with maybe one other top player yet mostly 4, 3, 2 stars playing roles, the star will have to learn to maximize her talents, to actually play with a coach and scheme in order to win, to mesh with different talent levels, and most of all to face real adversity.
- 2 teams have won over 40% of all WNCAA titles. 6 teams have won 70% of all WNCAA natties. Yet Tennessee, Baylor, Uconn, uSC, Notre Dame,and Stanford have completely failed the WNBA. The league has been failed on many levels, but most of all on the myth that a few teams can build it. Exhibit A - just last week the Connecticut sold out their first game, since the start of the league, and this only because of the fans that CC brings with her. The ''great'' wbb state of Connecticut can't sell 15,000 tickets for their pro team - mistakenly awarded to them on the premise that they would go. Turns out the fans just want to cheer for a front runner where wins are all but guaranteed (esp. in the weakest major conference). But South Caronlina fans have also failed to follow their former players, on so many teams, and never filled out WNBA arenas. Why would they when they have 10, that is 10 five stars on a team - they can just watch them buzz saw the season and make a travesty of the tournament and natty. (nobody but homers wants to see an all-star team destroy all sense of sport = imagine if Jordan had had to face an all-star team every year...)
-Somehow, the NCAA, the media, and too many people have completely ignored the lessons that Clark and Iowa just brought us. Just 1 player, 1 great player - who was unexpected (because she didn't play on an all-star team), who developed organically with her team/play, and of course who did amazing things, was about to build her underdog story into a legend. It is worth noting that Iowa is unique in supporting amatuer athletes as an entire state, yet MANY other schools have a strong alumni following. Most of all, legends are built on underdog stories. . . However, instead of learning from this - and this is a cornerstone of sport's history going back into the poor man's punchers chance boxing days of Rocky-like stories - instead people are falling for divisive narratives (we all know the junk junk thinking in the airwaves) as the reason that Clark w/Iowa built the biggest wave in wbb history.
- The media will continue to double down, despite Clark raising their viewers by 500%, in no small part because they are peopled with former players from those few monopoly teams yet most of all because they want to set up a profit mill off of a few teams (like promoting a handful of women pop stars at the cost of all other music).
- If this doesn't change, the growth from the Clark/Iowa wave will stagnate. We will end up with the Clark show and then everything else. People will blame Clark yet, if they didn't wake up and smell the roses, then make a move to deal with the thorns blocking the way, they will have no one to blame but themselves.
Players will learn that they won’t play in SC and start going other places, won’t last for ever
