    Coach Staley doesn't develop post players?? The defending WNBA champ and FMVP A'Ja Wilson says otherwise. Boston, Cardoso, etc. The So Cal HC is really good, but what post players has she developed? Their team was Juju and the Ju-ettes, lol. That being said, I can't see her leaving her home state. I think she transfers to SoCal. But if she wants a natty and to be a guaranteed top 5 pick in the W, she should go to SC.

I'll show SC some love on a video soon (and I think she'll reach the Final 4 and go top 4 even if she picks USC, they're already set up to be better than last season as is...and Caitlin showed us that winning that natty isn't everything, but having your whole state on your back...major)

    In reference to your statement, if Kiki chooses S.C. and whether she will get playing time. Typically, if she fits in well, both offensively and defensively, Coach Staley has no qualms of giving her sufficient playing time; one MUST earn his/her playing time under Coach Staley. I understand Ms. Kiki isn't a strong defensive player. If she is willing and put forth the effort, she will LEARN. Whatever decision she chooses, I will her well. However, she odds for winning a chip, is a lot greater than with other teams.

    on a team with "two starting 5s" there's going to be at least some bite into the minutes she would play on a team less deep, especially when Joyce already knows how to play defense and is a more natural fit.
