    Miss. State Women's Basketball Recruiting

    Women's basketball team could use additional rebounding and defensive help in the post area. This has been a big issue since Teaira McCowan and Anriel Howard left. Coach Schaefer tried to bring in Esmery Martinez, then later Deyona Gaston and Lauren Ebo who both ultimately followed him and his staff to Texas.

    Has Miss. State been involved with Amaz Carmichael from Hinds Community College? Amaz Carmichael (6-3 forward, Hinds Community. College)
    Last season at Hinds.....
    16.4 pts per game
    14.3 rbs per game (4th NJCAA)
    53 blocks

    Miss. State fairly recently offered Taiyanna Jackson (6-5 forward, Trinity Valley Community College).
    Last season at Trinity Valley...
    9.6 pts per game,
    13.2 rebs per game (6th NJCAA)
    Offesive rebounds 143 (7th NJCAA)
    118 blocks (2nd NJCAA)
    31.6% from 3 pt range
    59.9 fg %

    Gaston and Ebo are big losses in hindsight, they are two of UT's better rebounders. Vic is getting more from them than we are getting from Cooks and Morris.

    I like Carter as a scorer and she has some rebounding ability, but she doesn't do much for me in terms of defense.

    We don't need more or new bodies to rebound, we need effort and attitude to do it.

    They could use the Ginger right now! Too bad she was unhappy here.

    We have big Yemiah Morris now but I rarely ever see her getting any minutes.

    We need help down low next year no doubt - we will probably bring in 3 and maybe even 4 post players so we need to hit big on 1-2

    I agree. I think that’s the difference. Vic got so much out of his players. It was 100% effort. Toughness and effort and hustle were constantly stressed. That is what’s missing in all elements of our game.

    Bringing more players to the program isn’t going to help if the players aren’t bringing effort to the court.

    From the games I've watched, which is most of them... I think our highest energy and effort is a freshman, Madison Hayes.

    Also, Madison is an outstanding rebounding guard, one of the team's best rebounders and passers. High energy player. The more she develops..the better for the team. Need her on the court.

    6-6 center Yemiyah Morris can help this team as well.

    I don't understand why Morris isn't playing more? Getting her in at the 5 & Carter at the 4 would be ideal imo.

    Recruiting helps, but this team has the talent to compete for a #1 seed (top 4 in the country) but unfortunately does NOT play anywhere close to the level of defense that allowed for the success of the past 4 seasons. Allowing Bama to score 86 points would have Vic blowing a gasket.

    Why can we not play a zone, with Morris in the middle and stop the dribble drives. Play Matahru, Rickea, Carter, Morris and Hayes. I believe I could take that 5 and win most games.

    Only reason I can figure is that NMP has claimed she wants to play an uptempo fast paced style. I guess having Morris on the floor, especially with Carter on the floor as well, would not be very conducive to playing that way. Other than that it really makes no sense why Morris has been pretty much MIA since SEC play has started.

    She doesn’t fit the one on one offense we run. Luckily she’s there when one of them gets in trouble driving and they can dish to her under the; basket. Otherwise she won’t get the ball in this wild shoot it playground offense.

    Saw this update regarding Miss. State women's basketball signee.....
    Jasmine Shavers (Mesquite, TX..Horn HS)...averaging 26.3 points per game this season

    Few Notes
    Jasmine Shavers, listed 5-10 guard, ESPN #55 overall, class of 2021. She's an outstanding perimeter shooter/scorer, been coached by former NBA standout Jason Terry...AAU, this during time playing her high school basketball at Mesquote Horn. He indicated in an article last July that Shavers is the best shooter that he has ever coached.

    Glad we got her signed before she could watch this team play under NMP.

    Maya Taylor is near the top as well. Maybe she just looks quicker and faster because she's relatively small.
