I thought Ward looked the best she has this year. Her weight looks down a bit and she was moving better. Still a long way to go, but let's remember how Cunningham looked at the end of last season compared to today. Ward was a darn good freshman in the BE, so the talent is there. You can tell here basketball IQ is high.
The one thing we have this year to compete with higher rated conferences is athletes. Not sure we have ever had any kids the equivalent to Scaife and Layfield. Both are premier athletes, who have become top notch all-around basketball players. I thought Hoover was a stud's stud, but golly, Jenna has just passed her by. I think this team can be as good as the Final 8 team, if we can just get some bench and Harris can make her layups. That team was defined by three players. This one seems to have four.
