I sure do miss her, but Celeste Taylor had a good game for Duke today getting 13 pts and 5 rebounds which matches her season average for the Blue Devils.
Loved watching her play she was my favorite from the get go. Glad Duke is having some success this year for her sake. I’m still bummed I thought she was such a good fit for Vic’s system
I've had this totally unfounded fantasy that once Celeste is done with her senior year she'll come back to Texas for her bonus COVID year as a grad student. But sadly, that's just a fantasy. Her team is 16-1, and she's leading the team in minutes played. Her stats for her career: NCAA Statistics
Women's college basketball Power Rankings: OSU up, Stanford down and four new teams Texas returns to power rankings.
Sad, but at least she found a way out. Arkansas women's basketball: Inside Sasha Goforth decision to step away
Nice article. Sasha seems mature beyond her years, especially in how she is taking responsibility and action in response to her personal situation and well-being. Thanks for the share.
Just an FYI, a new season of Game Plan With Vic Schaefer is scheduled for 7 pm tonight (Tuesday) on LHN. Set those DVRs.
Let’s hope he’s in a better mood than last week. Oof - he looked like he would rather have been getting a root canal than doing the show just 2 days after the okie lite loss.
It reads to me like they are trying to imply that Jones wanted out because she didn't want to play for the new coach, without actually saying it.
Sounded that way to me as well. I’m sure the Liberty is hoping to get Breanna Stewart there as well. As a Wings fan, I sure hated to see Kala Thornton go. Also I liked the new Wings HC when she announced Texas game in Stillwater. They usually have some real homers announcing but she clearly did her homework on Texas and came off unbiased imo
I watched it, and it was a really good show. I like the way Vic talked about his players individually. The highlight for me was having Sonya Morris come on and speak of how hard Vic pushes them out of their comfort zone, and her saying how very up front and candid he was during the recruiting process in letting her and her parents know that he is a very demanding coach who requires a lot of hard physical conditioning. I have no more doubts about Sonya... she's bought in. It's just a matter of time before it ALL comes together for her, and no time like the present with TTU, BU, and OU coming up.
Vic recently said Sonya reminds him most of Tierra McCowen because she immediately wants to know why she was taken out of a game and when she’s going back in and he admires that about her. I don’t know if anyone else noticed it during the Eyes after the ISU game, but Vic and Sonya stood together. He put his arm around her shoulders and gave her a little side hug and said something and I’m not an expert lip reader, but there are some unmistakable phrases and I’m sure she looked up at him and smiled and said I love you. There’s a ton of mutual respect between those two
