Miss. State WBB

[jdelta02]

I see roles for C Smallwood and M Phifer but I?m pretty high on R Beaty pushing for a pretty significant role. She played on a very talented Iowa State team but was still able to work her way into a backup role playing over twenty minutes. She had nearly a 2 to 1 assist to turnover ratio and was second on the team in steals behind Jada Williams. I do agree we still need a combo guard capable of pushing for all conference honors and serviceable size in the post. However, again, I really like this addition.

She's appears capable of coming in helping get the ball inside to Nwaedozi similar to the way she helped off the bench this past season while backing up Jada Williams.... to Audi Crooks, ect but she's not a scorer, not a shooter. Doesn't appear a double figures type scorer at this point but can help make plays for others. Gonna look into her defense. Reminds me of a Trayanna Crisp type guard but without the 3 point shooting. Appears solid but Im with NCMSTFAN...not enough to compete in the SEC. This transfer, tranfer portal recruiting has been a good bit suspect over the past 2 offseasons. Coach Purcell has to know this.

Her numbers look good. Are we recruiting her?

Miss. State has been in contact. Don't have the info on the level of involvement at this point. Some players already have deals setup or ideas where headed before announcing entering the portal. Miss. State definitely needs to hit (homerun) on one of these top scorers.

Her assist to turnover ratio was really good, I do like that. But she shot 37% from the field and 27% from three. Also from looking at film she doesn't appear very athletic or a great defender which is needed in the SEC. I dont hate the pick up, I'm just not as excited as others. We gotta go out and get some size and athleticism now... go look at LSU, South Carolina, Kentucky heck even Ole Miss now, they have size and athleticism... Favour Nwaedozi and Madison Francis give us some of that but we need depth in those areas, especially size.

From everything I see...Miss. State involved.
This would be a huge pickup for Coach Purcell and the women's basketball program.

Glad to see Miss. State pickup a local in-state hooper. Been pushing on.this board for atlleast 1 local Mississippi player on the team. Good for the fans, fan support. Portal recruiting not all that good but still bringing in-state talent shows local basketball support. As for my view of Coach Purcell's off-season portal recruiting over the past 2 years up unto this point...that's a whole nother story.
