Remember when there was a group of posters here that said Ionescu would never make it in the WNBA?
Gamer winner 25 points 11 assists
Sabrina Ionescu Records First Triple-Double, Youngest in WNBA History
It was not nearly as unanimous as you'd think.There were several posters saying she was good but not great. A little slow. Her shot was so so and would struggle to score in college. I was saying that with her and Anigwe (can you imagine her feeding her in the post?) we would make the Final Four. I still think that is true and not many people agreed with me.CalFanatic said:
I think we all desperately wanted her to come to Cal because she was a program changing talent...
not sure if it's true, but the fact that oregon signed her twin-brother seemed to be a significant factor in her going to oregonClayK said:
Perhaps the biggest opportunity Cal women's basketball ever had was Sabrina in its backyard ...
The fact the opportunity was missed -- for whatever reason (and it may well have been out of Cal's control) -- changed the course of the program. As Vin Scully used to say, "The saddest words of tongue or pen: 'Oh, what might have been'."
Oregon did not sign her twin brother. He was offered a chance to walk on, which of course Cal would have done too if that was what was required. Eddy never practiced or played for Oregon, or went to school there.HoopDreams said:not sure if it's true, but the fact that oregon signed her twin-brother seemed to be a significant factor in her going to oregonClayK said:

Ever since Sabrina used the classless language that she was "dismissing Cal from her list" after years of Cal coaches going to her games and hosting her at Haas, I have dismissed her from any further TV viewing.
I saw Sabrina respond in a very angry way in response to a female coach trying to talk to her during a timeout at the end of Oregon's season last year on TV. Sabrina snapped at her, and almost was in this woman's face. The conversation ended. Sabrina plays like winning is everything, too intense for me. I haven't been a fan of Kelly Graves since he was HC at St. Mary's. He interviewed for the Cal HC position when Cara Hortzmeyer was hired. Graves has been successful at all three schools, St. Marys, Gonzaga and Oregon. I am rooting for Charmin, her staff, and the players to have a successful 2021-2022 season. Go Bears!
I stand corrected. I paid no attention to men's basketball this year so I missed it.ClayK said:Oregon did not sign her twin brother.

Congrats to Eddy.
Eddie was interviewed at times during games on the Pac-12 station. He, Sabrina and Ruthie were roommates.
