schroeder, one thing you learn very quickly with nba scouts, coaches & front office when talking about prospects is that half the conversation is about defense, who can the prospect defend one on one?
dd is a mediocre defender, how many points did the irvine posts score against her, do you got those stats?
daniels offensively is a stats stuffer against mid majors & then often disappears against nationally ranked teams which play a much more physical style of play & then she goes into her shell & becomes kinda sulky/frustrated which drags her teammates down...beyond her points & boards (which were very good) why didn't you mention her 5 turnovers?
wish her luck in seattle with hopefully more family support on gamedays but make no mistake about it cal wbb is better of without her, the decision to forego a berkeley degree will also likely have economic consequences sometime in the future but who knows for sure
the current post rotation of lutje, peanut & michelle along with claudia & sela is a much better rotation than past seasons
stats are important but they don't tell the whole story...if dd plays tough physical d against stanford & also scores 23 points with 14 boards my opinion will be definitely changed at that time
The education component is ridiculous to bring up... Washington is in what, like the top 25-30 ranking on every list possible?
Don't dilute a good argument...if it works out well for everyone, that's great. And just maybe she wanted to stay for the total "Berkeley experience" and was told that wasn't a good idea?
Considering you have traveled the world, maybe some day you will figure it out: the University of California isn't great because everyone else sucks. It's a Blue and Gold bar, we are competing against ourselves.
