Texas is very fortunate that they got Danni Williams
Oklahoma young kids are pretty entertaining. If they can avoid the transfer illness, they will be a good team in the coming years.

I'm sick of hearing about how Holmes is a guard. It reminds me of Mary Murphy going on about Candace Parker being a PG.

Where is Odimbe? She's the only OK player with height. Texas' height just waaay too much for the Sooners.

Oklahoma has had so many opportunities...
I'm back to my original thesis that Texas is really not THAT good. And Joyner Holmes in particular is not THAT good.

Holmes' lack of development has been a major disappointment.

She tends to just bulldoze into the lane so a team with good scout should draw several O fouls on her without too much trouble. But really troubling was that she couldn't seem to finish any kind of short range shot other than wide open layup. Also Texas played the pick and roll to good effect over and over. One would think an opponent would be able to prevent that after a time or two.

When you see players as freshman, you project what they can be, using the raw talent you see and assuming a progression based on coaching and the kid's own ambition/drive/commitment.
Joyner Holmes had POY potential, imo. However, she had some sort of issue which caused her dismissal from the team-that was a red flag. Also, I don't know if the Texas coaching staff has proven to be above average.
Another player I thought would be much better by now is Turner. I don't watch every ND game, but the next time I see her shoot a jump shot, or shoot beyond 6 ft, will be the first. She's v.g at what she does, but her game never expanded.
Of course, I will defer to the ND experts here, should they disagree.
