Bump. Koval with a monster game.


That was the best she has looked all year. She is never going to be the bang and scrap type player that can match up with the big scrapping girls of the SEC. She gets her hands on lots of rebounds but gets the ball stripped from her a lot by the opponents. She has to improve her foot speed and learn to catch the out of control contortionist passes of Fulwiley and the other guards and to finish against bigs. I think she definitely has potential. She need to teach her to be mean and more aggressive in the paint.

For each & every criticism listed here, CKM in her post game press conferences praises her. What we've seen of her play just comes in spurts in games. CKM sees her every day in practices, & those practices are not against the J.V.. As CKM said last nite..." I like where she is now. She's giving us just what we need". And it did not come across as simple coach speak.

She’s got to get much stronger. The better bigs we play just yank the ball out of her hands with little effort

Definitely turning into an all-time bad take

Del Rosario with 5 total SEC minutes this season and has more turnovers than points

So, you can tell this by watching a SOPHOMORE in her first season in the SEC, after she just had 15 rebounds in an SEC game?

There was a poster that made a comment about Kate feeling like she has to put the ball on the floor every time she shoots. I think this is the best comment about why she seems to struggle. She rarely gets a rebound and goes straight back up. When she does, she is usually fouled and she's a decent foul shooter. When she pounds it, they steal it from her.

She just has to evolve and learn the high level college game.

I would also add that I'd like to see her shot more 8-10 footers. She has a great midrange shot. You don't have to make post moves trying for a layup every time. If they are giving you the 8 footer in the lane, shoot it. She's had a number of offensive fouls due to this. I think as she gets her confidence level up, you'll see her taking these shot more. She is actually very good at them.

She already rebounds very well.

She is a person who could easily be a 10/10 kind of player next year if she keeps developing.




I loved Del just because she was kind of just goofy. Anyone that thinks Kate is even close to Del is an idiot. Ignore them.

Definite upgrade from last yr. at center. Keep the ball off the floor she goes up quick for the layups. When she puts it on the floor she gives the defender time to set up on her. Z Johnson is a bit short at forward gets her shot blocked a lot. But hustles to get her shots and rebounds. Fulwiley needs to finish her drives she catches our girls off guard with the late passes. Our guards are playing well and getting better.
