Heiden, not Harden (for the op). But to your point, right on...three good players to play the 5, and only one of them can be out there at a time. Ava draws short straw as the freshman. She struggles with some of the nuances of defensive positioning, as well as with shot selection. I love her...

Boom

I think that is absolutely what they are going for...not necessarily 4 guard, but 4 out. Howard can run, and she can handle the ball better and make decisions better than Smith. Bonner can play 3 or 4, and she is a legit perimeter threat (driving or shooting)...and she is 6' 4", which doesn't...

God help the refs working a game with Cunningham and Clark on the floor at the same time!

They added Natasha Howard...33 years old, 3-time WNBA champ, former defensive player of the year (2019), 2x WNBA all-D (2018, 2019), former Fever (2014-2015), rugged post who can rebound and score. Not much of a threat from outside. I would think her addition would pretty much ensure Smith is...

Vs. the Brazilian National Team...Guyton's mom played for the Brazilian National team, and I think Guyton might, as well. edit: might be some Boston vs. Cardoso action, too (old USC teammate vs. teammate)

Well, they have Clark, Boston, and Mitchell back for next year. They lost Temi, and it sounds like they will lose Wheeler. I assume Hull is coming back. Beyond that core-4, who else is going to contribute on the court in '25? There has been a lot of Sabally talk, that would definitely be huge...

Great question. Probably Syd, to start. I think Hannah might be our best bet because of JuJu's size and strength, but she will be needed elsewhere, and she might foul out in 20 minutes if she guarded JuJu the whole time. We are going to have to give up something, I say we let her fire from deep...

I am going to make a bold prediction and say they beat USC. If think if they can get off to a hot start and get the crowd rocking, crazy things can happen. The beauty of bold predictions is that if they happen, you are a genius! And if they don't...ahhh, I wasn't really serious about that crazy...

The Niemanns (and Kylie Fuerbach)

Holy shit, she played 36 min? That is kind of nuts. But, in similarly lopsided January B1G games last year against Rutgers, Wisconsin, and NW, Clark played 29, 32, and 33 minutes. She would often be left in longer if she was close to a triple-double, a double-double, or a 30-pt or 40-pt game...

Bluder was always one to let her stars get their stats. If they were blowing someone out, the bench would get plenty of run, but the starters would still start each quarter. There were many a game we won by 30+ where Clark was in for the first few minutes of the 4th. She maybe only had 25-30...

Yikes, that is a tough road ahead. I give them fair-to-middlin' chances on the road at Minny and Nebbie, but they will have to be really sharp. Of the rest, I almost think the CC-retirement game vs. USC is their best chance...Clark's last bit of Hawkeye magic before she moves on for good! That...

I didn't get to watch last night, but the Nebraska game was awful, as was the Maryland game. I did not think either game blatantly favored one team or the other, but the refs were not up to the moment. In the Maryland game, officials got railroaded by Friese (who complains every trip down the...

Saban was far from a flop. His inaugural season was 9-7 with Gus Frerote as QB, and he followed that with 6-10 with Joey Harrington. If he had the stomach to stick with the NFL, and if he found a competent QB, he would have been successful. But when Alabama came in with the Godfather offer, he...

Large food companies just have too much pull at the FDA. That is one thing I strongly agree with RFK, Jr. about: not letting corporate interests dictate our food policies. It's just that many other vastly more qualified public health advocates have also been making that point for decades, so it...

My father-in-law nearly lost sight in one of his eyes. He was planning on getting the shingles vax, too, he was just putting off for a bit. He put it off a bit too long.

I totally forgot about him.

To your conspiratorial leanings, I will say this... It never surprises me when rich and powerful people do some dirt to get more rich and powerful. So, at some point, if a story came out that some pharm corp applied some pressure somewhere they shouldn't have, or tried to cover something up, I...

Your subject line gave me a chuckle because my wife and I have noticed the "next kid" in a family of athletes is always touted to be the "best one yet!", so we make frequent jokes about it. I hope in this case it is true! AJE seems to be putting together a decent pro career. Is there anyone who...
