Clara Silva: averages 12 ppg and 25 min first 3; then 2 close games she
Plays 5 min each and scores zero Amoore plays 40 minutes vs UPurdue-Fort Wayne Lexi Blue less than 5 minutes last 2 games and zero points Brooks played 8 but really only 6 as Blue & Silva combined for 8 total minutes & 0 points

I want the downvote back to apply to every Kentucky WBB thread...
... like I used to do for the endless "why didn't we sign Stephen Curry" threads.

The die is cast. She ain’t a KB fave. Let’s go get her–3 yr fave here. Yup.

He would rather find players in the portal than develop them over 4 years.
Of course there are exceptions like Amoore and Kitley but we know he was great in getting transfers. From a class of 4 or so, maybe 1 would continue beyond the 1st year. I doubt Lexi Blue continues and Clara Silva will transfer as well especially after seeing the other Clara getting favored.

At least he is not giving Gabby Brooks minutes that could be given to
someone more deserving like he did here at Tech with his other daughter.

She did play a couple minutes in a blowout

I followed the last quarter on TheScore. Like L'ville game, pulled away.
G Brooks is on his bench with 0 minutes. ** Edited by TomTurkey at 11/19/2024, 12:28:37 PM

It's really important for Amoore to play 40 against a nobody
Padding her stats?

RJHokie
She had to. PFW was close to winnning the game, and actually had a 5 pt
lead at the half with the game close entering the fourth quarter. KY had 4 fouls on several players and Amoore’s shooting got them and sustained the lead.

Yeah they lose that game without Georgia
It’s hard to play 4 vs 5, not sure he’d have subbed anyone in

And Schio and Reyes Venezia may be scouting…

I think this is how it's going to go for them this year
They had a tough game a few nights ago, didn't use their bench enough, and left themselves vulnerable to being tired for the next one (a VASTLY inferior opponent). The SEC is going to eat them alive if they don't go deeper.

UK had a understandable let down after beating their
Instate rival for the first time in 5 years, sure hope we beat our instate rival, it’s important
hokiepro hokiepro OP
We would’ve beaten our in state rival after Liz went down IF
1) he’d invested more time in Strack earlier instead of crash coursing her ahead of the postseason 2) he’d not ostracized Rose and destroyed her confidence last year. It’s pretty obvious that she’s a different player under Duffy than Brooks

We have a couple chances versus
Our arch rival later this season, hope we’re up to it

I am a Hokie Fan, nota Clara fan, Kentucky or KB fan.
That makes me a Duffy Fan, Rose Fan, Baker Fan, Carliegh fan etc.

What does that have to do with VT basketball?
Stop posting that crap here...it's offensive.

Objection Overruled....Its Just Info About Folks We Once Cared About
Just a year ago. It also goes to the argument that KB may be a good thief of talent, but not a great overall in-game coach. He always had his "babies favorites" and the rest mostly sat, e.g. Rose M. I like what we have now.

Not sure anyone cared about Silva
Glowing reports, but no one had seen her play.

These comments are a little tired as a segment of Hokie Nation does, in ..
fact, care about former coaches, players & others .. a legitimate topic of discussion and we won't force you to read it as it is offensive to you

Its kind of disrespectful to our team. But its a free country so have at it

See these posts I don't mind as much
But a few days ago when there was a running tally of every basket scored in UK vs Louisville, that really irritates me. That's why I made a comment.
hokiepro hokiepro OP
Duffy is better for the long term health of this basketball program
Kenny found 3 gems and mixed in a couple transfer gems to put us on the map…no question he can recruit talent…Duffy looks like she can COACH UP talent (not just 2-3 handpicked individuals) She proved she can develop a perennial NCAA qualifier at Marquette 11 players scored in a game….when wa the last time that happened under Brooks?? ** Edited by hokiepro at 11/19/2024, 1:02:38 PM ** Edited by hokiepro at 11/19/2024, 1:04:29 PM

I don;t think Silva was ever interested in VT. It was between Uconn or KB

At least they made it to the first game
He had a few that left the VT WBB team before the season even started.
