I was all set to refute your "exhaustion" hypothesis. My recollection was that Rori's shooting was sub-par early in the season after she returned from injury.I think her drop off last year was exhaustion more than anything. If Booker or someone else can take some pressure off at PG good shooting should return.
I still think there's a lot more to the Quinnerly-Texas interaction than she's letting on . . .
I was checking on this almost daily when it was going down. What was so interesting is all the mutual interest that seemed to be paying out on IG, and then all of the sudden, a mutual follow with "countryroads trust" occurs. That is WVa's NIL collective. After that happened, the whole thing cooled off. So my guess is there was genuine interest and then the collective made it worth her while to stay. But if the team doesn't improve this year, she'll be facing her last season in a dead conference with a team that's on its third coach and no change of post-season success. So maybe she'll reconsider. But I imagine there will be a lot of suitors for her in the Spring.Yeah. I think there was some initiation from her/her father's side also.
Lol. We need to make sure and hand them all ***-whippings. We'll have to see how it plays out, but it would seem only bAilor has the roster to challenge. This conference has become considerably weaker in the last 2 seasons.Near the very end of the interview they are asked to comment on any of the new teams coming into the conference or the two outgoing ones and they didn’t really have anything specific other than JJ said “as long as we get to play Texas again”…
Of course we already know every single Big12 team will be gunning for that last chance to beat the Longhorns for their highlight of the season.
Seems to me, observing from afar, that there was definitely mutual interest but something went awry somewhere.I was checking on this almost daily when it was going down.

Hopefully no impact to Vic's Riverdance revival....and keeping coaches inside the coaching box and monitoring their sideline behaviors also.
If they can stay healthy, they should be able to outperform these preseason rankings…

I'm afraid Jordana will be an enigma for all of us until 2024. You may recall she has had three! ACL reconstructions in her HS career, so she currently is being eased back during non-contact drills. Not much I could ascertain about her game in practice, other than she is an athletic young lady, and in good shape weightwise.On a lazy Thursday morning…..while lovingly ignoring wife’s demands to go outside and wash her Tahoe……I’m thinking Horns WBB. So unexpectedly I scanned the roster. Hiding in plain site is Codio. I realized that I know less about her than any other player. For sure remember she’s from Florida and a couple of years removed from her high school knee injury. Plus seem to kinda remember a short video of her playing before her injury. But nothing since. Guess should have low expectations of her this year. Don’t knew if healthy or still struggling with knee. Don’t know what she brings to team. Sort of remember thst her game might be a slasher type player. Can’t remember Schaefer saying much about her. So anybody got any information on her? Will she ever be a contributor? Wife dragging me to garage to wash vehicle. Would be nice to come back to some WBB talk.
Thanks for the updates. Tinoa shouldn't be needed unless there's a rash of injuries. That sucks for Jordana. Sometimes I think some doctors are like meat market butchers.At the team dinner last night Vic provided some color to the medical issues of two of our young ladies. More about that below.
To the surprise of nobody, the program will announce three signees next month, "one post and two guards." That translates to Justice Carlton, Jordan Lee and Bryanna Preston, although I was mildly surprised that Justice is considered a post and Jordan a guard. It sounds like Justice is the heir apparent to how Deyonna will be used this season and Jordan like Jak.
Vic has never had a 6-year player before in his career and he wants Shaylee to be more vocal sharing her experience with the younger players. He was surprised at media day that BYU harbors no resentment to Shaylee's transfer; they love what she accomplished for their program and hold her in high regard. How fitting to host BYU on senior night, March 2.
Last year, Vic often talked about the challenge of having so many new players in the system and how some players still didn't know the plays at mid-season. That talk is over. Several times he mentioned that this is a veteran team. They are much further ahead at this stage; it shows on the track and on the court with the pace of practices. Team chemistry is very high. The dedication is there and it shows in improved shooting. Vic joked that good shooting certainly makes his job easier.
Boutilier is not as hard as I thought. Pronounced BOOT (like the shoe) - lear (like the jet).
Jordana: after her 2nd HS ACL surgery in Miami, Jordana showed up at Texas. Purely from a visual inspection, the knee didn't look right. The Texas doctors said something was amiss and her surgeon should be consulted. The surgeon said fly her back to Miami. The only way he could diagnose the problem was with exploratory surgery. When he got inside, he saw that the ligament was ineffective and removed it. Of course, that necessitated a 3rd surgery at Texas to replace it again. That experience was unfortunate, but Jordana is now progressing nicely.
Tiona: it wasn't until she got to Kentucky that the doctors finally told the family that her heart issue, whatever it was, was too serious for athletics. In Houston, even with the most experienced heart surgeons, surgery risk was high since that procedure had never been attempted before. I probably have this backwards, but a right artery had to be moved to the left side. Now with two functioning arteries, Tiona's oxygen flow is normalized. Vic said her progress in the last week is encouraging and expects it to continue.
