“Angel is a talent. She’s aggressive. She’s poised. She’s very unselfish... She’s somebody you want to play with... you know she’s going to play to the very end.”
Nice comments by D Staley. She showed that she has class. I know that LSU and Coach K M will be wanting Dawn to win If they cannot win. I love those positive remarks so keep them coming wherever you see positives-Dawn. We see so much negativity concerning these lady basketball players now and your comments, hopefully, will lead other coaches to do the same. Hopefully all the coaches will follow what you do in giving positive statements to these young ladies wherever they are on the court.
I am on the same page about Angle. She lost a lot of tough dominate play at the beginning of the season as an individual. Her summer was cramed with fu fu aendance at events for social media clout. I would have the South Carolina women's basketball program on a light upcoming season workout routine, so what happened to Angle never happens in South Carolina.
What sense does it make to give up a layup to shoot a three? Help me understand. I grew up when we trained to take the ball to the basket. Not be near the basket & kick it out for a lower percentage shot.
Better shooters now, the bunny's count but thee three is like a dagger in the heart when a team's percentage is 40 versus the same attempts of two's. Makes 'em sulk!
Its not just 2 points vs. 3. Its also your team mate and entire team getting a lift. In that moment, you basically are telling 'em you trust 'em enough to give them that shot. That kind of involving the whole team lifts them, brings out their beast, and leads to championship.
She’s a very good coach no question…as long as she verifies racism before jumping into full bore causing her team to not play a game for absolutely no reason at all. I lost a lot of respect when she did that. She seemed more of a race hustler than a coach.
I love the technical description of her game especially the unselfishness. Many think a player is unselfish just because they have a lot of assists but that’s not the case. Unselfish is passing the ball when you may not even get a stat number. Knowing you can break a record with a score but knowing if you pass to your open teammate the team can win the game. Giving up shots to get your team hot is unselfish. Stress a great ball player and it is blatant that the negative critique she has received is moreso to do with her direct nemesis being CC last season. Many try to negate the black vs white narrative that is apparent in bball, in general. However, it is so blatant. Swoopes pointed it out on Gil’s Arena regarding the WNBA. I’ve noticed it in the NBA and the bball analysts are so biased when analyzing black players and white players. It makes me not even want to watch the game anymore, tbh. The whitewashing is real. I’ll take Angel over CC any day.
White vs. Black is good for ratings. Look at Bird vs. Magic. That rivalry made the NBA so much more popular. The USA is majority white, and having a good white player usually attracts more white viewers.
Also, Swoopes was off on her assessment of CC. CC is a true senior. This is her 4th year in college, not her 5th. She came across as someone who did not do her research.
Your distant auntie will compliment you before your mama any day because she doesn’t have to consider the working dynamic since she’s not dealing with you daily 🥹
Well Dawn tried to recruit her. I wished she had played for SC she'd have three rings by now Dawn just respects what she brings to the floor is all and she likes Angel especially after she declared the championship LSU won was won for all Reese's SEC girls😂
Kim didn't say nothing especially after the health department told her she was stressing the girl into a mental health crisis. The girl reported to campus exhausted, burned out and unable to sleep which is usually a sign of high anxiety or depression and coach was still driving her into the ground.😢
I now have a new respect for DAWN because she recognizes how good Angel REESE is I'm going to respect SOUTH CAROLINA form now on this might be their year GOOD LUCK LADIES that's from the ❤
She's good according to the competition she's use to for everyone her South Carolina has 2 at least she is OK for an athletic woman but her skill set is a C+
Angel is good, people who say she's overrated are saying that out of hate probably from Iowa at that,I'm saying that as a juju Watkins fan,she gets her most nights too , people wanna put her against Clark despite the fact ones a power forward and ones a guard
She will be fine.. her game is mostly getting rebounds and put backs she will be able to do that at the next level as well.. she isn’t a ball dominant player she is a great team player
What a stupid response .. Angel's game is very par with most of the WNBA players in the game .. you would be pressed to name more than 5 really standout players in the entire WNBA league .. folks just want to hate on this young lady but the truth is she'll be just as good as the majority of WNBA players
@contactpq truth is hating on her has nothing to do with her basketball skills and her competition in college doesn't hold Par to what she'll be up against in her first couple years in WNBA ESPECIALLY if she doest get Much stronger in areas that for sure will hurt her on nx level... right now and I mean this... SHE HOLDS LSU HOSTAGE WE'LL SAY
@@derrickoverbey2819 While I hear what you're saying, again I disagree ... Gil's Arena recently did a show on the very topic of how good college players are reduced to being average players once they are put into the WNBA system ... meaning she'll be just as average as the rest of that league's players .. and that's why you can't name at least 5 standout players in the entire league
@contactpq the whole Olympic qualifying team is sufficient and there are some I thought should of made team but mostly the team she was on this Summer made of college girls I forget the national team or something but they were beat pretty good by the foreign teams and she was suppose to be the captain but out FIBA team which she was a little to old to be on won the FIBA anyway... I do think we are about to see the other side of the coin when it comes to the NIL THO. Also LSU plays in SEC which is OK but their out of conference Sechdule Doesnt help a whole lot but they are ranked according to who they've played which is So So considering the other schools strength... He'll they lost to Colorado and Auburn
Dawn was gracious with her comments. Angel is talented, but Williams and Johnson are also key elements to LSU's success. Angel would be respected more if she would have a better attitude. Cardoza has to make those layups. She also has to get off her feet. She probably would be able to dunk if she got off her feet. The Lady gamecocks have so many weapons. When they are clicking on all cylinders, it will be difficult to beat. Go gamecocks!
Nothing is wrong with Angels attitude. That sounds like a personal problem that you don’t like her attitude. Dawn recruited Angel hard out of HS and when she entered the transfer portal. Angel was ranked #1 out of HS
I feel like Cardoza will be the reason Gamecocks will lose in March Madness and I don’t know about Angel attitude but I can say the beginning of the season she wasn’t engaged as much but that’s personal
Almost all of the best NBA players have to have a little attitude. They criticized Dwight Howard and said he was too nice, which they thought made him soft. In the NBA, they take kindness for weakness. Magic seemed like a nice guy, but it is rare to find a nice guy who has the mentality that you need to win championships.
