Tall is in!
LSU added Koval from ND, 6'5". I watched a few ND games and didn't even notice Koval, but the articles are saying it's a big deal.
UConn (look out) added 6'5" Serah Williams from Wiscy. " At Wisconsin, Williams was a double-double machine and made the All-Big Ten First Team this season, a year after she won the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year award as a sophomore. In three seasons, she started in 89 of the 91 games she played in and averaged 16.4 points and 8.6 rebounds per game while shooting 51.5 percent from the floor. This past season, she was one of just four players nationally to average at least 19 points, nine rebounds and two blocks per game."
With Strong, Fudd, El Alfy, Arnold, and whatever freshmen they bring in .... UConn may currently be the betting favorite to win it all.
(UConn is going after Heckel, too).
SoCaro added Madina Okot, : Okot signed to the Gamecocks on April 22, transferring in from Mississippi State. As a junior, the 6-6 center averaged 11.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game for the Bulldogs. She ranked fourth in the SEC in rebounds per game and her 64.9% shooting from the field led the SEC and ranked fourth in the nation. She scored in double figures in 22 games.
(and they added the best offensive guard in the country: Ta'niya Latson, Florida State: Staley secured the No. 1 transfer in the portal and the country's leading scorer this season via the portal on Tuesday. Latson transfered to South Carolina from FSU after averaging 25. 2 points this season. She's never averaged less than 21 points per game in a season and in the NCAA tournament loss to LSU, she finished with 30. The 5-foot-8 guard played high school basketball with Raven Johnson.)
UCLA will be on paper better next year, but other teams may be mo' better.
