Welcome to the Illini Women's Basketball thread.
Ya know , after watching this NCAA tourney and the regular season and watching the women's season , I think I enjoyed the purity of the women and the beauty of seeing plays mademoiselle than the hacking gull bore contact that the men's game has been reduced to.Glad that she doesn't feel "done" yet. This 2022-23 team brought some real joy to watching basketball.
This is very interesting. An emphasis on energy and gestures for encouragement made for an Illini women’s team that was cohesive, fought consistently hard, cared for each other, and had fun, leading to a truly special and successful season. Now if the men’s team had placed an emphasis on energy and gestures of encouragement, could it have made a difference???
Look at some of the other girls in the back row. Dewey is listed at 6'2". Lopes and Hill are 6'3". All 3 tower over Bostic I think your 6' is right on the money.The picture in the article in Dan’s post shows how vertically challenged Bostic is compared to the other players. Unless she is intentionally stooping over she can’t be more than 6’0” tall, which makes her accomplishments this year all the more amazing.
Where is Omar Payne when you need him?Look closely. She may be on her tiptoes.
Is she a legit transfer option for Green? If so, yes please.Well Rose Micheaux is a legit 6'2" and The hooks are in.. so hope they can real her in.
Just what the doctor ordered if she comes to Illinois. Still be undersized but she is a threat on the offensive end and can board. I love what Shoup-Hill brought this season but if she is the first big off the bench the team gets that much stronger.Well Rose Micheaux is a legit 6'2" and The hooks are in.. so hope they can real her in.
Reel ?........................just tryin to be reel , you know ??Not sure how you'd want me to say it? The set the hook, they hope they can real her in? The staff is extremely interested. The 6'-6'2"s dont have to play at the 5. They staff is still looking for a Big Big, the Purdue transfer big is just in the "shes alright" level of players they are working on.
If you haven't been around, Bostic has a decent 3. She could be a legit 3 and d like Shoop-Hill, her first year here didn't showcase that, because she was required to create looks instead of getting spot ups.
Maybe we want to real-ly reel her in (or maybe...she'll play for Real Madrid --all the while dancing the reel??) FOR REAL!!Reel ?........................just tryin to be reel , you know ??
