- South Carolina has just signed Maryam Dauda. See why it is the perfect piece to their championship puzzle. Dawn Staley knows how to work the portal.
- กีฬา
With Dawn coaching Dauda she will take her game to the next level. I feel like Dawn can make anybody better.
to be fair, they didn’t reach out to Kiki. she reached out to them
KiKi I. is exactly where she needs to be.
That’s what I’ve been hearing
South carolina has a nother powerful team again can't wait to see them run it back go gamecocks ❤
Dawn and staff will help her game out sooo much to the point she may not be the same player next year.....watch what development does!
I personally like Maryam over Kiki as far as fit goes, chemistry and the fact that she’s an SEC girlie already!
Honestly at this point t I’m more curious what went wrong in Arkansa that they lost so many players in the portal
they had too much talent to not consistently make the tournament and realistically the sweet 16 or further. mcdonald’s all americans on that team that im sure could and will be winning a lot more at their new schools
They didn't have a Dawn Staley like Head Coach. But then again she is THE GOAT 🐐
@@jjaylanni Absolutely true. We have consistently recruited top talent and consistently underperformed. It is a coaching issue. It all came to a head last year with both the men’s and women’s teams. Neighbors needs to go. Just like Musselman.
@@algernon5776 There’s no one like Coach Staley but we can do better than Mike Neighbors. IMO
@@helenoftroy1227 probably so. Good luck
Dauda is a great fit for South Carolina. I’m happy for her and SC. Bummed for Arkansas tho. But, it is what it is.
Maryum Dauda scored 6 pts. 4 rebounds 3 blocks in loss to Arkansas Pine Bluff
@@SCbredGullahaccent I’m aware.
Your Denver flight seemed like it had a rough landing! I hate flying
Watched Dauda tonight. She plays with a great attitude and good skill set. She will be a great teammate. Plays with a happy attitude like Kamilla. Great three point shooter. Good kid it appears.
Yes they are loaded!!
Indeed
I agree with this whole video! A lot of teams are getting too many players from the portal just because they are top players but not thinking of fit and need or how long it takes for a team to gel with so many new players
You are TRULY the best Back 2 Sports!!! FYI, Tac is listed at 6'6"... 🥰
Without shoes she 6'5 lol
@@back2sports but they hoop in shoes. no?
See, you can make good videos after all #amazing #salute
I got lucky :)
I would like to know what is happening and what happened in Arkansas! The coach seemed to be a good coach
You can't never have enough talent, don't shoot a cap gun when u have a cannon.
The question I have about Dauda is how good can her 3 point shooting be? She's a great offensive complement to what SC has at the post if she can just stand out and hit the corner 3 at a good rate, given what she offers on the defensive end.
The best way for her to help with threes is for her to work on her low post offense. We have enough 3 pt shooters. Cardoso is the main reason we got soooo many open threes.
@@kdean42 Having a post player that can hit an open 3 opens up so many spacing options, and especially frees up our 4s post game and our guards to drive hard, like Fulwiley.
For a post, she can really shoot it
How many more 5’s can South Carolina add to their vaunted squad😂
2 more
It's hard to believe that there are going to be more stacked teams than there were last year lol. Anyway, good for SC hopefully this doesn't make it harder for my huskies which I don't think we will ever have an easy game against SC ever again
Maybe true but Geno was supportive of gamecock basketball by agreeing to playing them on a yearly basis. Geno never avoids good competetion and basketbsll is all the more interesting with more super teams than ever.
Okay okay… I like this video.. is tuff 🎉👏🏾🔥
Wow
Maryum Dauda is going to produce more than the stats in to be effective Sakima Walker had better stats before she transfer but couldn't produce anything this year playing at the level in games Paopao played about three years before transferring
if Maryum Dauda played like that against Arkansas Pine Buff how I'm supposed to take her serious check out my community page me in front of the Delta Center
I don't think South Carolina won the portal but they did get what they needed. She should be perfectly interchangeable with Kitts (assuming Chloe takes her range out to the 3pt line). And allow Feagin and Watkins to go to work in the post without facing double teams.
Yep maybe a bit too hyperbolic but do think it is perfect fot
Nobody black other than the ones that already live there want to live in Arkansas
It does bother me how many five stars end up at the powerhouse teams. Competition is what drives wide fandom. When Connecticut, South Carolina, and a few others seem able to sign whoever they really want, competitive balance is very difficult to achieve.
Hire somone with pull like Dawn Staley. That is how south Carolina eventually did it. She was able to land the star local recruit in Aj'a wilson by using her pull to put together a pretty decent team to attract stars. And with one star others want to play with them like Alisha Gray and Kaela Davis then you win a national championship and your recruiting blows up from there.
Can't speak for Uconn, but I do know that Carolina misses more often than they hit on recruits. They definitely do not get whoever they want . For example, Kylie Kitts, Chloe Kitts little sister, who's actually 2 inches taller, and not as thin, as Chloe will be playing for Florida this season.
@@kdean42
I am not really saying the power programs can get every player they recruit either from high school or the transfer portal, only that they seem to get a disproportionate share. That is what makes it so interesting when top recruits decide to go to teams that they can help make deep runs in the NCAA tournament. Hence players such as Clark at Iowa and Watkins at USC brought new competitiveness to the game.
It’s not South Carolina’s fault that players want to play for Coach Staley. I blame other schools for not stepping up to the plate. Maryam Dauda is not the first or only McDonald’s All American that chose Arkansas. We blew it. And, I’m saying that as an U of A alum.
@@helenoftroy1227
I am not blaming South Carolina or Connecticut or any players. I am simply saying that I think women’s basketball would be better served in the long run with more competitive balance.
I think that Tennessee won the portal this year.
They need to find a coach and stick with them
I think Notre dame won the portal. They addressed deficiencies. They have an exciting project. It is only a matter of time until they break through.
That's the power team that I'm rooting for out of these teams: UConn, S. Car., ND, USC, Texas
Notre dame and Nc State is who I’m rooting for.
Either So Cal, or Notre Dame. Either of these teams could legitimately start the season at #1. So Cal already has the nation's best player. Obviously, S. Carolina, along with Texas and Connecticut could also be #1. Connecticut also hit big in the portal. They have Azzi Fudd coming back from injury. She's one of the best players in the nation. They also have the second best player in the nation in PB. Second only to JuJu. They also got the best recruit in the nation in Sarah Strong. Strong is one of the best players I've EVER seen. There are literally ZERO flaws in her game. She's great at everything on the court
@@jjohnson3203 I'd put NC State in UCANT's place.
@@kdean42 Fudd has NOT been on the court long enough to deem her "one of the best" in the nation. PERIOD.T Strong has not proven anything yet at the collegiate level. PB is not as good a player as Ju Ju.
I don’t think Sakima coming back since she graduated.
She needs to leave she not even gone get playing time now that SC has a 12 player rotation if she stays it’s clear she’s ring chasing
Have not seen anything to say she is not coming back. TBD?
Noting officially said about Sakima leaving or coming back. She has eligibility left and if she wants, she can play as a graduate.
This is not a big deal. They don't need her and she won't be a difference maker for them. Arkansas was lousy last year.
This IS a big deal. She provides exactly what they need. Post experience, depth, and excellent rim protection. She was 3rd in the SEC in blocked shots behind Cardoso and Swatkins. Coach Staley will make sure that she greatly reduces the amount of threes she took. I don't expect her to start, but I won't be surprised if she does.
@@kdean42 AMEN!
@@kdean42 If she's that good, then why was Arkansas so lousy?
@@user-gn3wq1mt7g Ever heard of coaching? smh. Same thing was said about Tehina Pao Pao last year, keep doubting Dawn, she knows excatlywhat she needs and has teh capacity to make it work.
All I know is I will sign with a team first year and not sit on the bench .uconn will never get top players with sitting on the bench.
05.31.24 Sakima Walker is not coming back.
Is that confirmed?
This aged well 😂
S.Walker: I'M BACK!!!!!!
I don’t think she’s gonna be the addition they think she is. They went and got a big that can hit threes to combat UConn’s Elfy if she turns out to be good.
Actually Dauda is a pretty good 3 point shooter for a post. She shot 31% last year and hit 3 3's against south carolina.
They literally have 2 starting line ups 😂😅😅 this sht is over with
She will be spending more time in the paint. No way Coach Staley is going to allow her to jack up 90 threes in a gamecock uni.
@@Lilquan2004 AMEN!!! Can't wait to see the BENCH points again for the Gamecocks in 2024-25!!
I will tell you who didn’t win the portal. UConn. They have no idea how to use the portal.
They used it well this year. Very well.
Geno is always looking for short guards that he "hopes" can shoot threes.
Maryum Dauda had 6 pts. 4 rebounds 3 blocks in loss to Arkasa Pine Bluff
No sure why this random stat? are you saying it won't work based on this game? Te-Hina Paopao who went for 5 pts on 1 for 4 vs Eastern Washington in 2022-23. It seemed to work out of for her at SC.
Look at her stats vs SC last season, she had 19 points and was the best player for Arkansas...
Stop talking about basketball you're embarrassing yourself.
Why is this such a big deal?
Insurance
Yeah Maryum Dauda gets up for the gamecocks wbb but can't dominate an ESPN sub 300 RPI Team
One thing I am going to say. Spencer, dauda, saylor, Scott. We acted like all of these transfers were a big deal.
If they are so great, why didn’t Arkansas win more games last year?
@TheDisruptiveOne - I could not agree more. Every time Arkansas played anybody halfway decent, they got blown out, even on their home court.
Because it was Arkansas
And I am going to be fair. Paopao was losing confidence on a struggling Oregon team. And she came to South Carolina last year and was a big success. So, I know it can work.
Jacked up too many threes.
COACHING.
Arkansas isn't playing a good system to develop these players they shoot too many 3's and isn't focus on defense and if they don't make shots they usually lose these players are tired of losing. They have lost players to LSU , Maryland, Auburn, SC , and Tennessee all these programs are better coached than Arkansas. They Need new direction and I like Mike Neighbors but he's not the answer.
Amen!
She will wish she went somewhere else when she gets very little playing time.
Somebody salty The rich is getting richer 😂😂
I'm sure she knows she will get fewer minutes. Don't know this for sure, but I suspect she chose us for the opportunity to play inside more. Arkansas offense was based on threes. She needs to develop a better inside game for the WNBA. I suspect that was Dawn's sales pitch.
She will get at least 20 minutes per game, that's what TEAM play at South Carolina means, and that PRODUCES National Championships.
She will wish she went somewhere else when she gets very little playing time.
Salty salty salty she will get good playing time because she’s the only big on the team who can shoot 3s
Not the recipe to win. You buy into the program for it to be a winner. Sefish players will never win championship
