WBB: #8 Oregon @ #15 Oregon State (Sun 4 PM Pac-12 Network)

Always nice to get a 20 point win against the Barkrats. Good to see Sedona back out there playing. She obviously isn't playing at her full potential yet, but if she can just stay healthy and slowly get more and more comfortable, she will hopefully peak at the end of the season, when it really matters. It is very surprising how much more poised and seasoned Paopao looks than our other freshman. I was expecting her to be pretty good, but not this good so soon. I was also expecting a few of the other freshman to look better than they have so far. Scherr has been disappointing overall. I wasn't expecting her to play at an elite level right away or anything, but I was expecting way more than she has shown. As for Parrish, her shooting has looked terrible for someone that was supposed to be the "best shooter in her class." I'm not saying you can't see the potential with both of them, but they have underperformed so far. Fortunately, the elite play of Paopao has more than made up for it.

Who doesn't?

Valid question.

Anybody out there not use "View Active Topics" to view the forum?

Good game tonight. #12 is going to be All Conference on her current trajectory. With Boley having an off game, TP-12 takes over the lead for this seasons most consistent player.

I use "View New Posts"

I use it traditionally.

Boley has always been inconsistent. I was hoping that changed but as soon as she clanked a couple shots I knew someone else had to step up. Paopao is going to be all league for as long as she choses to stay in college.

"View Active Topics" may be preferable over "View New Posts", because "View New Posts" includes our Sim League posts, but "View Active Topics" does not.

I can't turn it off for "View New Posts"

View Active Topics works just great. I do try to <bump> game threads on the day of the game if they have sunk too low on the Active Topics page so those of us who use it will get a reminder to watch the game that day. So many of us on this forum are so old we need all the reminders we can get.

You hit some great points, Paopao really does look much much further ahead of the rest of the freshman.
I'm also underwhelmed, especially by Parrish, who was our top recruit and a TOP TEN recruit. She is playing almost as a walk on level right now.

I have a different take on Parrish. To me she has a bigger tool kit than I was anticipating but is being hampered by her key skill (outside shooting) going MIA so far this season. Coming into the season I had thought she might be the last of the recruits to make rotation because Boley, Mikesell, Chavez and Shelly were all +40% 3 point shooters which made her kind of redundant. But I see in her a real scorers attitude, the ability to penetrate off the dribble, score in the paint, get some offensive rebounds, hustles to get on the fast break and plays passing lanes on defense.

When her outside shot returns I think she'll be a real offensive sparkplug off the bench and I think it will happen sometime this year.

I agree, she is a little more athletic and versatile than I was expecting. I certainly have no complaints with her effort level, hustle, etc. Here's to hoping she rediscovers her three-point stroke soon. If she pops in a couple against Stanford when that game rolls around, these other misses will be water under the bridge.

Good cause we're gonna need her to replace Boley when she nuts up which is about every third or fourth game it appears.

I agree agree with these sentiments. I like how assertive she has been on both offense and defense.

I've honestly seen positive things from each of the Freshman to the point where I think they could be be a borderline top-25 team if they were all starting. It is just a matter of playing time, the creamy part of their game will rise with the PT.

I use "View New Posts"

I also use view unread posts. Paupau won’t fill up a stat sheet like Sabrina but she is making the loss of Sabrina a lot less painful than I thought it would be.
