As much as I think Caitlin Clark is too much a ME person, there is no doubt of her skill and literally inestimable dollar value.

At 6’6”, Cardozo will be one of 10 women 6’6” or taller in wnba. Will Cardozo be a factor in the wnba, probably, but it will be unlikely she can tower over other wnba teams like she freqytowered over 6’3” college centers.
CC is more likely to be a standout, IMO. The defenders are more likely to be taller and faster, but it will ne interestimg to see

The thing about Clark is she will score because of her immense range. But she also has a good midrange shot and can drive.
She also has great vision and passing skill so assists will be there. Her game may change but she will pack stats somewhere and affect games. And I don’t even like her.
Too much me? She’s 3rd all time in assists while also being the top scorer all-time.
Good point. I don't watch much women's bball that doesn't involve IU until the tourney, and didn't know they drafted her last year. I'm just saying in this years tournament, I thought Cardoza made the biggest impact on both ends of the floor.
But, to counter, didn't Trevion Williams start ahead of Zach Edey 2 years ago? Cardoza impacted both ends and Clark is only offensive. I think she'll still be a great player, possibly All Star level, but I don't think she'll be able to dominate like she did in college and better and more physical defenders will bring her down a level. I'm just commenting on what I saw in this years tournament, and really shouldn't comment on the WNBA... not sure I've watched 48 minutes of WNBA action in total.
I don’t know about dominating, but she will score (long distance, her midrange accuracy, driving ). She also has great floor vision and will rack up assists.
She was one of the 5 finalists for Indiana Miss Basketball. She can play. My opinion is still the same re her.
Coach Moren picks up a big from Tenessee and a shooter from Penn State tosay. I guess she may be able to use this portal thibg after all!!!!
Right, Shay Ciezki, a 5-7 G & shooter has committed to the women's Hoosiers, avg 11.5 pts. last year. Earlier, Karoline Striplin, 6-3 F committed. Former Miss Basketball from Alabama, 2021.
This wasn't accurate when typed, and has aged even more poorly! Moren's doing things the way I think they need to be: build your team through recruiting and multi-year portal players and then augment addressing specific needs. I think we still have coaching questions, but not many are on the women's side.
Anyone know if Coach Moren is recruiting any other transfers? I believe there are 2 spots open for the roster if necessary.
Also, Currie-Jenks will play ahead of her if she is still on the roster. She's very talented.
Shay Ciezki is the “shooter” from Penn Sate. Only 5’ 7” so I hope she is fast and plays D.
She shot only 37% from 3 last year but her FT per cent was 90. Scored 40 once in a non con game.
I bet TM is done with the portal. We added 1 big and 1 G in our efforts to replace Mac and Sara.
"Karoline is a tough post player who can score inside & out while also establishing herself as a great post defender" Coach Moren.
She's got 2 'ships left......I agree she may be done unless 1. someone leaves; or 2. someone's good enough that she can't pass on them......just my guessing though.
Haha. I agree, but that is my male chauvinist pig side coming thruGeary was a home run.
We will see she could barely move with her leg but was defensive player of the year as a freshman in the OVC. We now have a deep enough team to play a lot of players if Moren wants.
She started 11 games and contributed for Tennessee. Our assistant recruited her out of high school. I think with her and Lilly we will not have to rely on Faith to come in and play right away but will have battles in practice which is always good.
She did. And Currie-Jelks got hurt in Greece with a pulled hamstring. She played 3 games during the season and aggravated it. I heard, but cannot confirm, the second injury was a tear. By the time she got healthy, the decision was made to redshirt.
So, you are wrong again.
Plus choose players who fit your team culture and personality. Teri does it the right way.
I saw where the Boilers were losing starting freshman Mary Ashely Stevenson to the portal after she was named the B1G Freshman of the Year by the media.
Thanks. I knew she was injured but did not know about the strain/tear. Moren also said something about personal issues but no detail. I saw her play in person only once, in some mop up minutes, and it looked like a big knee brace.
I hope she gets healthy, hits the weights hard, studies film, and makes a jump.
I did not see that. I don’t pay attention to PU but I have seen Moren compliment their coach- Gaddis or something like that. I think I read that they picked up someone good from the portal.
Was reading that yesterday. Averaged 10/7 as a 6’2” frosh. Pretty good numbers. Wonder if CTM thinks could be a fit?
I think Moren is pickier about player personality than some other coaches. I have no inside info, just my opinion from the outside looking in.
Abstract qualities like playing your role on the floor, conducting yourself as a pro off the court, being a teammate in the locker room, effort, and so on, I think describe our players more than some other teams. Of course I could be wrong, I have never attended a single practice and don’t even live in Indiana any more. It just seems that way to me.
No, you're correct. She's about being a good fit, not just talented.
