How highly regarded is Oehrlein?

Yeah it would. Managers would have to be cognizant of the score in a close game. Instead of burning through the pen early, they'd have to consider leaving the starter in longer.

That's a mockery of the game. MLB should limit the number of pitchers teams can carry to 11 or 12. Then, they should eliminate the extra innings rules that places a runner on 2nd base. Finally, they should limit the number of transactions a team can make. Those changes would require teams...

Yep. There's not enough talent. Braun is an inefficient volume scorer. Battle is a turnover machine who can't shoot. GG will be a good shooter, but isn't anything more than a starting role player on a good team. They can be a tournament team with what they have through self-improvement because...

Only a couple players would be a true loss.

Too risky to commit your career to an unknown quantity. It's good she didn't, either. Whalen wouldn't have developed her. Heck, she might've ruined her. Now, she'll be the #1 pick next year.

It's the Peter Principle, another great MBA tidbit to learn.

Bad decisions by Clark down the stretch. Her loose handles showed up again, too.

Lynx will get Edwards or Reese. Hopefully, Edwards. If Edwards is gone, I wouldn't be surprised if Reaves drafts Mühl. Reaves likes UCONN players, she has complained about needing more help at PG, and she loves hard-nosed, defensive players.

No. She shoots a lot of terrible shots. She has the Brett Favre mentality. She has the ability to make any shot, and shoots a lot of contested and off-balance threes. If she cleaned that up, she'd be a lot better, which is scary.

For all the talent Caitlin Clark has, she has some very obvious deficiencies. She has poor decision-making/shot selection, her handle is loose, and that defense is mediocre. She had her pocket picked way too much. The steal she gave up at the end of the half was terrible. She was very lazy...

It's a talent problem. Iowa and Ohio State have at least 1 WNBA player on their rosters. UCONN's entire starting 5 yesterday could be 1st Round picks when they're all eligible. Bueckers will be the 1st pick next year, Edwards will go in the middle of Round 1 this year, Mühl could go end Round 1...

Khusnutdinov becomes an all-star center and Wallstedt comes up and becomes a brick wall in net.

Yep. The stage was too big for Shade. She didn't belong on the court. The call on Edwards seemed weak.

Brutal failure to box out on the missed free throw. UCONN played great against Clark. Bueckers was mediocre. If she played well, UCONN wins. Both Clark and Bueckers were disappointing. The game was good, but the Bueckers vs. Clark hype was a dud.

Shade is really hurting UCONN on both sides of the ball. This game is too much for her at this point of her development.

Nika Mühl is an excellent PG. She would be a good backup in the WNBA. She has good height, can defend, pass, and hit open 3s. Caitlin Clark played very poorly, partly due to UCONN's defense. Mühl is exponentially better than Van Lith. But, Clark was also lazy. Lazy defense, some lazy passes...

That UND NIL money must be strong. Do they get oil royalties?

Absolutely. Bring him here! I've been posting about it for the past week. He finally hit the portal. Put him on the second line with Snuggie or Wood, if Wood commits. Then sign a good goalie. That's a 1 seed with 2 killer offensive lines.

I'm still holding out hope that Stramel hits the portal and comes home to the Gophers. Put him on Line 2 with Snuggie or Wood. That's potentially 2 very high productive lines. Championship caliber lines.
