🤔 Is This The BEST Recruiting Class EVER? USC's Domination Incoming!
Спорт
Forget potential - this USC team is ready to win NOW. Their incoming freshman class, including the unstoppable JuJu Watkins, is unlike anything we've seen before. Domination is coming, and I'm calling it: National Championship bound! In this video, I explain why USC is the team to beat this season and how they're about to start a dynasty.

Certainly looking for real parity in the game, go USC. If SC wins again it's just more of the same. Here's the pattern TENN, UCONN< and now SOUTH CAROLINA, that ain't parity.
Exciting times & leadership at USC.
There’s no doubt 2024 recruiting class of the USC women’s basketball team is fantastic! Kennedy Smith clearly is the best two-way player in the McDonald west team and Nike hoop summit USA team. Kayleigh Heckel is the best PG in the McDonald and one of the reasons why the east team dominated the west team. If USC gets a dominant PF from transfer portal and I hope it’s Kiki or Timea or both , then USC will be lock-in for 2025 final four.✌️

this is all 100% spot-on
juju watkins is smooth with the ball in her hands but she needs to improve her efficiency. shooting 40% is way too low for a girl with her skill.

Yeah efficiency up, and turnovers down. At least in the tournament, her TOs doubled. More weapons offensively should allow her to be more selective, plus an off-season of work
Good video, but not one mention of South Carolina? Gang Starr my brother, " A mind is a terrible thing to waste, show love, cause it's a terrible thing to hate." Playing in the Big 10 going to be different, little more physical..... not saying they soft, but it will be a challenge. Looking for to seeing it though, good talk!!!

I did say UCONN will be there, with a strong class because I knew Strong would commit there (plus Azi and others back). Also said USC (S Carolina) coming back with Fulwiley and the crew, adding Joyce Edwards would be tough. I just didn’t go into detail about the other teams because I plan on making videos about them as well

Idk how they quantify the quality over quantity or what their ranking system is, but the quality is very close with the 3 5 stars alone. But like I said in the most recent vid, these rankings mean nothing once the players join their teams. Audi Crooks was 54 last year, Jadyn Donovan was 3rd while Madison Booker and Milaysia Fulwiley sat at 10 and 11.

UCONN has the elite of the elite talent and top class every year, but it was Iowa playing for the championship the last two years with just one elite talent. Plus, you did hear what I said what about UConn in the vid, right? Annoying is subjective. I try some with and some without, I don’t have a set template yet. My most watched vid has it, and this was the first to hit 1000 views so it’s may be a offend 20% to please 80 type deal. I’ll know with more testing

If she is the goat, the stats from one game wouldn’t decide it. Most points by a freshman ever would weigh more on the scale than “9-25”. She averaged 27 and 7, with a steal and 2 blocks.
