 Posted: 03/31/07 11:10 pm ::: Your conference's Top 10 c/o 2008 prospects |
Reply  |
|
For major conference fans (ACC, Big XII, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC), list your conference's Top 10 pro prospects for the Class of 2008 (next year's senior class). Please do try to stick to the conference that you follow the closest.
If yours is a mid-major conference, feel free to list as many players as you think have a legit shot at landing in a camp next summer.
Please, no opinions (I usually value them, but not this time). Just list, list, LIST for now! You'll have almost a year to discuss.
Here's a template.
| Code: |
Conference:
Name School Position
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. |

Pac-10
1. Candice Wiggins, SG, Stanford
2. Lindsey Pluimer, PF, UCLA
3. Emily Florence, PG, Washington
4. Jill Noe, SG, Arizona State
5. Andrea Plouffe, PF-C, Washington
6. Cissy Pierce, PG, Stanford
7. Ashley Allen, PG, Oregon State
8. Dominique Banks, SG, Washington
9. Kaela Chapdelaine, SG, Oregon
10. Simone Jelks, SG, USC
It's kind of a down year after Wiggins, but Pluimer with her length and touch could get a look, and Florence is a great on ball defender and is in the Tully mold of PGs.

Iluvacc is a machine, folks! Care to try 2010?
And I'm guessing that the Big East doesn't have any major WNBA prospects for 2008. |
Patience, grasshopper, patience. Some of us do work too!
Tough to put in order, this group, so here's 10, you decide for yourself how you rate them:
Charel Allen, ND, F
Essense Carson, RU, F
Matee Ajavon, RU, G
Charde Houston, UConn, F
Olayinka Sanni, WVU, C
Caprice Smith, DePaul, C/F
Allie Quigley, DePaul, G
Marcedes Walker, Pitt, C
Kia Wright, St.John's , G
LaQuita Owens, WVU, F
And the returning wounded:
Malorie Winn, Pitt, G
Meg Bulger, WVU, G
And yes, I left Mel Thomas and Ketia Swanier off the list.

Alex Montgomery should be top 3.
Anjale Barrett could be higher is she fully recovers from her knee problems.

My Bad No Problem at all, I really have'nt gotten a chance to see her play much....
What are some things she does good?
And What are some things she needs to work on to succeed at the next level? |
She's a good finisher around the basket and is athletic enough to drive on her defenders. However, I think her offense can improve and needs to for her to improve her stock. She needs to become more consistent with her jump shots (although she still has a pretty good fg%) and learn to draw more contact and get to the free throw line. I don't know if it was the system or her style, but she also played a little too much away from the basket.
I think her defense and rebounding is the best part of her game. She's relentless on the boards and a tough draw on the defensive end. In fact, she "held" Fowles to 11-26 in the two games they matched up. She only averaged a little over 2 fouls per game.
She was heavily recruited out of high school--I think 3rd or 4th rated prospect in the country. She ran into a lot of off-court problems and eventually ended up at Arkansas via Jr. College, but it looks like she has put that behind her.

Sorry, but the Bofia's have done exactly nothing. Just being tall ain't good enough. Remember Sissy Pickett? There's a better PG in the conference that's going to graduate next year and while Pariseau may be a couple inches taller, she isn't half the athlete that Emily Florence is. If we had had a halfway competent coach the last three years and some semblance of an offense that was more than just give the ball to Cameo or Andrea (not that that was a bad thing in certain games), people would recognize that. Little known stat, on a team of good rebounders, she was a board short during the regular season of leading the team. I forgot Whisonant, and I regret that, but Jelks as the 2nd best prospect as a 5'11 forward?

I didn't do them in any particular order. Jelks is just there because there really are very few elite level athletes right now in the Pac-10 that are graduating next year. As for the Bofia sisters, again, who else could you really put up there? I think I should probably really narrow the list to 5 or 6. As for Emily Florence, I was impressed with her first game against ASU. She came to play, but ever since then, I've seen a steady decline. I doubt Pariseau will get drafted but she has one of the best assist to turnover ratios in the conference.

Thanks for the info, Sounds like she has ALOT of potential. And will continue to get better...

It's unfortunate that I have to beat what is now by the grace of god a dead horse, but the main reason for any of Florence's struggles is departed coach June Daugherty. The rebounding totals are pretty impressive, not to mention the fact that she led the conference in steals.
