At 6-5 on this team she should be a stat machine. She's averaging 7 points (on lousy shooting percentages, FG and FT), and her rebound per minute rate is worse than most of the guards on the team. 1 to 3.5 assist to turnover rate. For pete's sake, she's 6-5 and averaging less than a block a game.
As I wrote earlier about not posting much, I guess this has been building up. But she's not alone, IMO only Goodchild and Boykin are earning pluses this year. I don't know if it's effort, coaching, or really just not being talented enough to play ACC basketball.
Everyone says this was a re-build year. Yeah, but not this bad. And I'm not sure next year looks great with this crew.
So disappointed.
I think it says it all that the debate we're having in this thread is between whether we have 2.5 or 4 ACC caliber players. It's an indictment on the program really. No one is saying P should be recruiting only 5 star WNBA talent - although she's certainly recruited plenty of that to not the greatest results - but she needs to be recruiting players she can mold INTO ACC quality players. And this season is going to be our 2nd Tournament miss in four years, after 21 consecutive NCAA Tournaments (to say nothing of excelling IN the tournament).
Is the Athletic Department really okay with this being the new state of the WBB program? Because it certainly shows no sign of returning to its heights any time soon.
