Addie Deal

Congrats to Addie and Hannah on a great week. Hannah seemed really fired up and played with great passion in both games.

It seems like Deal's minutes did not go up much against MSU after her breakout game against Oregon. Deal had 15 minutes and Stremlow only 10 minutes while Chit Chat and Kylie both had 34 minutes.

McCabe had 26 minutes and came out fired up against MSU, making some good hustle plays, but McCabe still seems to be in a bit of a shooting slump, which is not good because her 3-point shooting is still the main reason she is on the floor.

Addie continued to shoot the ball well against MSU but also had some turnovers. I dont know how much that was on Addie because Jan was pushing the idea hard to keep feeding the post, but Addie's passes inside just kept getting picked off. Also MSU's defense deserves a lot of credit too. But overall still a good game for Addie, scoring 8 points in just 15 minutes of play.

This was a good learning game for Addie. MSU was flooding the lane with players in which the Hawks haven't seen that yet this year. At least not that many. At times there were up to 3 or 4 players crashing the lane. I'm thinking that's why her minutes were diminished. McCabe will catch on fire again and it better be at Maryland because the Hawks always seem to have a very hard time coming out of there with a win.
Hannah is playing like a first team B1G 1st teamer. Hope she keeps up the intensity and leadership she's been bringing these last couple of games. We're going to miss Hannah next year.
 
I'm glad Addie has her 3 going but the people calling for her to get more minutes need to cool their heels a little. I get it since McCabe's 3 disappeared last night, but Addie's lack of experience shows at times. McCabe's all around game has really improved, 15 minutes a game for Addie is good for now IMHO.
 
I saw a post on X yesterday saying Addie has signed a deal with Upper Echelon Sport.

I looked up Upper Echelon and all I could see is that it's a sport management company. I assume they will help her with endorsements and maybe even be her agent going forward. I assume it means money in her pockets, maybe a lot.

This really showed up last night. She has the highest ceiling on the team right now. But she gets exposed against athletic, defensive teams.
 
Deal’s ball handling needs to catch up to the speed of the collegiate game. I’m confident it’ll improve throughout the offseason and once it does I believe she will flourish.

She also needs to start launching threes again

She has the ability to Nail them

Might as well have her miss them just like her teammates
 
Not a good West coast trip for Deal. I think if Journey Houston had been playing guard all year, she might be starting over Deal right now. I think the main reason Deal is starting over Stremlow or Houston, is that Jan thinks that eventually Deal will be the best choice at the time of the Tourney.
