Thank you. I didn't wanna be the one to say it but someone had to. She has great character and very supportive but let's be honest, she is never going to see the court so like you said a medical scholarship would do even though I didn't know that existed but if it opens a scholarship up then I'm all in.
I mean I just don't see anyone on our current roster transferring anywhere. We know Collier, Taylor and allen-taylor are not going anywhere. As for palmer & Routt I don't know there mentality on if they are okay sitting on the bench but Warren seems like the type of player Vic Schaefer recruits. She is physical, probably the most physical player in college and she has really good defense in all aspects of that part of the game. She is also very very physical. She would make one hell of a linebacker the way she tackles players and I love it because it really ruffles the feathers of Kim Mulkey but back to my point.
While Warren is indeed physical, she is by no means the most physical player in womens' college basketball. As for Palmer, I saw some really positive things out of her last year and think she has a very good upside and potential. We just don't know how she will figure into Coach Schaefer's plans. Palmer absolutely has skills, and now that we have a coach who can actually DEVELOP players, I see her staying around (but none of us know). Routt is another story. Fact is that none of us know definitively what is going to happen, but a roster spot or two opening up would not surprise me.I mean I just don't see anyone on our current roster transferring anywhere.

Palmer would probably have to go a low d1 school and Routt I don't know. So I don't see any of them leaving because they probably realize how good they have it at Texas. If anyone has any thoughts on this topic please let me know
Yes Palmer without a doubt has great skills with tremendous potential and can shoot the ball lights out but her defense is a problem and we all know Vic prides his teams on pressure defense and that is something Palmer would really have to work hard if she wants to see the floor. As for Warren she is definitely in the top 5. She is not afraid of contact whatsoever and if your in her way you better believe you will be moved out of it! We don't know what's going to happen but it doesn't hurt to take a guess. Now if a roster spots opens up for whatever reason and a player or two wants to leave then there are a lot of good names in the portal & at the rate vic is going he will have no trouble finding some players to come to the 40 acres.
You can’t “develop” athleticism and Schaefer is a coach that typically wants athletic players.
Never once said you could develop "athleticism". That's pretty much common sense. BUT I'll tell you what you can develop.....POTENTIAL... And we've had ALOT of that around for several years, and well....... Vic Schaefer AND his very competent staff know exactly what kind of players they are looking for and how to develop them. Look at Chloe Bibby and his daughter. NOT the greatest athletes, but they put in the work and were DEVELOPED. We are now in good hands....
I agree typically he does like athletic guards who can be aggressive on both ends of the floor. He has had success working with some who weren't the best natural athletes. We'll see how the roster shakes out sooner than later. The great thing is we now can have confidence that the most will be gotten out of whatever that roster ends up being.
I keep forgetting about Holle. I like what I've read about her, especially her defensive tenacity and ability to guard multiple positions. We know she can score too.
She is very athletic and is very similar to how Joyner holmes was in high school. She can dribble the ball up the floor, shoot, a bully in the paint and an amazing glass cleaner. She also has great hands. The one thing I think she needs to work on the most is her shot selection & when to take the right shot. Everyone remembers how Rellah Boothe was with her 3 point shots at bad times but that can easily be fixed. When Vic said Texas fans will love her personality it's because she will absolutely take no BS from anyone whatsoever. In terms of attitude she is very much like Mikiah Herbert Harrigan from South Carolina. You will not get in her face and not expect a clapback and I love it! Very excited and I expect her to contribute immediately
Sounds like Vic and his staff are not done with adding to the 2020-2021 roster. I would assume they would have to go after a grad transfer since the roster for 2021-2022 is completely full but I guess this is why they get paid the big bucks to sort things out like this
