- South Carolina's women's basketball team is stocked with talent at the guard position, with veterans like Raven Johnson and Te-Hina Paopao being backed up by MiLaysia Fulwiley and Tessa Johnson. However, with the potential Johnson and Fulwiley both bring to the court, Dawn Staley will have a conundrum on her hands next season as far as how she wants to split up the minutes. Could she harken back to the strategy she utilized in the 2022-23 season? Andrew looks at the complex situation that could create, gives his thoughts on Kendall Daniels Jr. seemingly delaying his announcement, and talks the perfect fit that Minnesota men's basketball guard Elijah Hawkins would be for Lamont Paris and South Carolina's men's basketball program!

If Tessa just wait, she has her starting spot secured for her junior year behind breezy. As well as Fulwiley. Raven, Fulwiley and Tessa as the starting guards. Patience is key and if they want to win, they will stay
It's really hard to keep Fulwiley on the bench!!!! In almost all the big games she was the spark we needed to break away. She was our wildcard, her ability to create her own shot was a defensive nightmare. If she gets a consistent shot , ooo wweeee!!!! I believe defense will be the separator. Whoever can guard , control turnovers, assist others gone get the job.
I think start Raven & Tehina. Then spilt them up during game. Tehina & Tessa did great on court together. Raven & Fuhwiley together. Then rotate accordingly.
Tessa can get some minutes at Bree spot as well. You can also run 3 guards.
At last someone said it. Bree hall doesn’t start for me next season. I will start Tessa bring fulwiley of the bench she the xfactor
You must be crazy because Raven is the proven floor general. Glad you are not coaching !
🎯💯
Fuwiley can do anything, anywhere, anytime.
For sure i don't think she's ready to start consistently thoe or tessa i think they need at least another season.
Tessa plays the 3 behind Brezzy. Fulwiley, Raven and Pao Pao rotated this past season
Paopao & Tessa will be the best 3 point combo in the nation
I think its a great balance its omly the freshmans first season they know they will have to wait. We dont want a hvlth situation where you play as the main point to early in your career with hardly any competition then struggle later on to adjust to change.
She's managed it well but please these players ain't waiting no more that thinking might have been back in the day but not now
@@anthonytaylor7928 she did do a great job in my opinion. I think having a injured squad and a polarising coach didn't help. I think the freshman will wait they seem to have a great relationship with the coach, plus they've seen the process work. Kamila waited behind aliyah bree waited so did raven, I think its helped them in the long run. I think if they transfer for playing time it will ruin their progress. For example tessa and fulwiley could start on any team so could kits but I dont think they are ready to start on a consistent basis. Bree and raven could because they have the experience.
Plus remember this team will be Fulwiley and Tessa will have the team after this season !
The head looks great!! Cooler for the summer, too.
Don't worry Andrew and true fans of our Ladies the QUEEN GOAT knows exactly what she's doing!All of our Ladies know beforehand that they will play but probably not start!We have the most unselfish team in the country and I'm positive it's going to continue! Be safe my friends peace out and..... Go Gamecocks Go Ride Gamecocks Ride! Hello from Illinois today!
My thoughts exactly.
The back ups are more skilled all up but the starters have been tested and seen the highs and lows.
I would call Brie a guard.
You start them off eitth the same minutes and quickly give them all similar minutes.
Tessa can be a small forward and Brie can be a small forward also
The CULTURE has been consistent and Dawn has kept things open.
They all will go to the league and Brie, Fagsn, Ealker and Pao Pao will be gone.
At that point Tessa and Fulwiliy will be ready
They will have to Run MORE and substitute more.
Dawn may go 3-4 guards also with zeroed or Tessa being the 4th guard.
They need a stretch 4 like the girl from Oregon State or get Kitts and Fagsn to do that
Pao Pao had a few cold shooting games in the middle. Good or bad play will determine who gets minutes in each game too
This is a great problem to have. Run it back Lady Legends. It is baseball season with football fast approaching. I want to get to Omaha THIS YEAR. No more excuses. Get it done on the diamond. If Bobby Richardson or Ray Tanner was coaching this team that would be the mindset. I like Kingston, but im not content with just finishing in top 25 every other year. This university needs to compete in men's sports for championships.
It will be a tough decision! Either one of these ladies will do good at SC or any other teams! I guess we will just have to wait and see!!
The only question I have who will replace Camilla Cardosa and who start between Kitts and Watkins. No one is taking Raven Johnson place, she was is one of the greatest point guards in the history of basketball.
What’s up guys 🏀🏀 Let’s show Andrew some love 💕
Coach Staley is not going to start Milaysia and or Tessa over her two seniors. There will, however, be times she start's three of them at the same time. I would like to see Tessa get more minutes at the 3, but Coach Staley is loyal to Bree who struggles with self-confidence and self-worth. I think that's part of the reason she's not quick to pull her when she's going o for. †
You got to watch the gamecocks and understand coach's philosophy. 1st off she don't start seniors for being seniors. She start defensive players over offensive players mostly. Bree Hall o'ers be 0-2 or 0-3, thinking this team is constructed like others give people the wrong impression. Raven and Hall probably will start for their defense, Paopao may go to the bench in favor of Lay because of defense. This is also a reason why Tac has a good chance to start. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Tac, Watkins, Hall, Lay and Raven starting. That's coach philosophy not what most teams do. Unless she change it up.
@@KelzKelz I've been watching Coach Staley for years, as a player and as a coach; however, she doesn't always start players based on defense. Raven was/ is a much better defender than Kierra Fletcher and they both averaged 4 points, yet Kierra was the starter. Te-Hina is a defensive liability, yet she starts even though Milaysia plays better defense and averages more points. The common thread with Te-Hina and Kierra is, they both were seniors. There is no way Te-Hina doesn't start next season, and barring major injuries, there is no way Tac does. Milaysia won't either unless it's in a special 3 guard situation. Everyone raves about Bree's great defense, but like me, they can"t name one quality scorer she has ever held below their average, certainly not two. We saw what CC did to her in just one quarter, but had it not been for foul trouble, she would have gotten her usual minutes.
I understand a senior not starting due to lack of ability, e.g., Sakima, but I also understand Coach Staley's philosophy very well. And yes, it does include defense, just not in the way most think. Unless a senior's defense is costing the team wins, she will get the nod if the competing player is not head and shoulders better. Trust the process is code for "I need y'all to split time, so I can keep you from hitting the portal," my friend. †
It's late May. I'd like to hear more on men's baseball.
I hear you, but women basketball get most of the views on this channel. †
I think we might see some movement at the big position. We have adel sakima chloe fagan and watkins. I would love for dawn to give sakima the reigns just because she patiently waited and was a great teammate but she has alot of competition.
I watched the IG videos way to much ❤❤❤ to leave each other at least last year team
Why is this even an issue. As you saw this season everyone can eat. Every game had a different leading scorer every game. Plus Coach is loyal to here older players. And she will play the players that will earn their minutes during practice.
Raven not leaving they can win 3 with the team they got
From what i see its a marathon 200 minutes a game. Split 10-12 ways . Not a question of who starts . Who finishes matters 17-18 minutes split
12 ways allows all the ( horses ) to run wide open Thats how you do it again.
Kinda like what they did last year ..See ,even i could coach from home
It's not a tough decision, it's the same starting four players and you bring Fulwylie Tessa Johnson off the bench. This season was Coach Staley best coaching, because she didn't get in her own way and let the freshmen players do their thing.
I don’t think nobody is going to transfer because either way you getting playing time but PaoPao minutes might get cut down by 3 and raven minutes to so Tessa in Fulwiley minutes might get more minutes of the bench Don is going to handle this good trust
Raven is the ultimate point on this team and I do not envision her minutes will diminish in any fashion. However, PaoPao might be questionable. However, she plays well with Raven. Coach Staley might "toy" with both Fulwiley and Tessa coming off the bench as she (coach) often sticks with whomever is playing well. Nonetheless, coach Staley is a masterful coach and always makes the correct decision.
Play them as two teams that way everybody will get there minutes and more
Dude ur late to the party that's the genius of coach Dawn somehow she manages all of this talent that's the magic to their perfect record and their depth she always says anyone of her players could have went anywhere else and became a starter but they chose to stay there but i do agree it will be a couple of defecters in the next two years but nothing new look at sonia at North Carolina state . Also the player at Kentucky can't remember her name tho but dawn will be ok

Andrew I Love Lay Lay….however, Raven “HOLLYWOOD” Johnson is The true floor general. Lay Lay is not ready to lead that team. There are too many moments(this year) where Lay Lay was too eradicate. She needs more grooming before she can take over the reins.
She's managed it well to go u defeated . Heck the Detroit pistons did it dumars thomas and Vinnie Johnson and the sonics did it Fred Brown Gus Williams and Dennis Johnson it can be done
I'm starting wiley and raven. I'll sit wiley whenever she feels like sitting down and everyone else just get in where they fit in.
Dawn won’t have a permanent starting rotation. No player will get more than 30 minutes a game, and Staley will make the call, when Fulwiley plays, not Fulwiley.
@stargazer3677 i didn't say what dawn will do.
@@rarerock5020 when you get your own program, coach them as you see fit big dawg...until then, let Dawn cook...
Let Dawn coach and make decisions we should stay out of it. I DONT THINK SHE NEEDS OUR HELP
Fulwiley starts period she's got defence and offence
Why can't she play all four of them at the same time?
I think some of you are just looking for problems to have.
Dawn Staley still owes BYU an apology.
fulwiley is good but sometime she acts clumsily handling the ball... she needs more time to be a good PG...
Keep rotating the players production. Stop manufacturing problems that don't exist.
Stop trying to create drama they won a national championship with her guard rotation
Kiera Fletcher just wasn’t that good in the first place.
Raven's a good point guard. Still can't shoot love her defense.
This is ravens team no way she’s going to the bench or less time. Tessa is going to learn under pao and I think coming off the bench and helping on defense helps us in the long run . On the guard position with the 3 Tessa can slide over there as well to help Bree hall off the bench since she will be a senior next year
