My favorite line was: "Who is Kneepkens going to guard? Just pray. Pray they miss."

I'm excited to announce I've joined Just Women's Sports, where I'll be creating videos like this you can't find anywhere else on the internet! ⤵️

Sarah Strong might already be a Top 15 player in the world, and one of the greatest college basketball players of all time. For JWS, a deep dive into what makes Strong a transcendent two-way talent unlike anything we've ever seen: youtu.be/wWGYPdQjbSs?...

My latest 2026 WNBA Mock Draft is up, with in-depth write-ups on where the class stands right now. Excited to be doing written draft content for Bleacher Report this year! ⤵️ bleacherreport.com/articles/252...

Hello, hello! If you’re looking for WNBA draft content ahead of the college season, this is the best video resource for you! I've done over an hour's worth of comprehensive analysis on the Top 6 prospects alone over on YT: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I am not watching the games live today but I did have time to watch @huntercruse.bsky.social talk the Wings. WNBA media should watch this video, because you all keep talking about an Arike that does not exist, and when Dallas moves on from her, you shouldn't be surprised. youtu.be/DIwY_7_RoUo

Janelle Salaün hive, we’re here

The Monique Akoa-Makani bandwagon is just @huntercruse.bsky.social and I.

journalism

@huntercruse.bsky.social is cooking with his analysis. Been talking about Justė for months!

AKA my bible

It's here!!! The Next's 2025 #WNBADraft Big Board, courtesy of @emilyadler.bsky.social, @huntercruse.bsky.social and @dovienya.bsky.social, with detailed scouting reports, comps and so much more. www.thenexthoops.com/features/202...

I'm always blown away by the amount of effort and detail these writers put into their work. Every year it's the most comprehensive WNBA Draft handbook out there.

In the Sweet 16 on Friday, South Carolina trailed Maryland by 6 points in the third quarter. Then MiLaysia Fulwiley checked in. Our @huntercruse.bsky.social explains what happened next, plus more takeaways from the game:

For Swish Appeal: Four WNBA Draft prospects whose draft stock would benefit from a strong run in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. #ncaaw #wnbadraft www.swishappeal.com/2025/3/14/24...

the 2025 WNBA draft is one month away. with March Madness kicking off next week, i wrote about 5 players in the tournament worth keeping an eye on for the Dallas Wings: www.mavsmoneyball.com/2025/3/13/24...

South Carolina's Sania Feagin has seen her draft stock rise over the last couple months. @huntercruse.bsky.social breaks down how her game has grown in her senior season.

South Carolina guard Te-Hina Paopao's dynamic play style is unmistakable. Now, as a fifth year senior, our @huntercruse.bsky.social writes, Paopao is more aggressive and confident than ever — all the better for the Gamecocks' quest to another championship:

New WNBA mock draft over at Swish Appeal, reflecting all of the changes to the draft order that happened during free agency. Only one round, but a few additional names added at the end to clarify my thought process. #wnba #ncaaw #wnbadraft www.swishappeal.com/2025/3/2/243...

From watching Nneka Ogwumike play for her hometown Dynamo Kursk to being a WNBA draft prospect herself, Anastasiia Olairi Kosu is the most underrated 2025 prospect our @huntercruse.bsky.social writes.

a first-round talent multiple WNBA teams are interested in just did a big interview! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Lithuania’s Justė Jocytė is now eligible for the 2025 WNBA Draft, she told @thenext.bsky.social. Jocytė was born in the US, but has played her entire career overseas. The 19-year-old guard is a potential first-round pick in this year’s draft. More: www.thenexthoops.com/features/top...

jokes aside, Indy just traded Lyss and #8 in a depth-y draft into Sophie Cunningham and #19. Kelly Krauskopf has been the Fever GM for four months and it's already gone very poorly

you know, olivia miles is kinda good at this passing thing

Vanderbilt’s Khamil Pierre is just the 5th player with 42 points & 18 rebounds in a D1 game since 2009-10, which’s as far back as the HHS database goes. She is the first w/ 42 pts, 18 rebounds & 8 steals.

This is the Ajša Sivka experience! A sound weak-side defensive rotation for the steal, pushes in transition & gets off a tight pass, then knocks down a C&S 3.

Wow

I saw West Virginia & Texas on the schedule tonight & it took me way too long to figure out how a Big 12 conference game got approved to be played in an MTE lmao

I am VERY concerned about Diamond Miller. She looks nowhere near the same athlete that she was at Maryland sadly & there’s been no shooting development

South Carolina in its three major games so far this season against Michigan, NC State & UCLA: • w/ Paopao ON the court: +14.2 NET rating (90 minutes) • w/ Paopao OFF the court: -35.7 NET rating (30 minutes)

MiLaysia Fulwiley took these two shots before she was benched against UCLA. On both possessions, she was attempting to score on Janiah Barker. Simply an ELITE defender

Today’s game made me feel so much better about Janiah Barker’s floor. The upside is evident, but she really did all of the little things at a high level: the rebounding, defensive rotations, screening, passing, etc etc

JuJu has been better on defense than offense so far this year

Olivia Miles is 6-10 on pull-up 3s. I repeat Olivia Miles is 6-10 on pull-up 3s. She made 8 in her last full season

If Olivia Miles makes pull-up 3s like THIS, there’s no debate on who is the second-best prospect ngl

Olivia Miles lmaooooo

Olivia Miles 3-7 3pt at the half??????? YOU are a Spark, Sky, Mystic or Wing

We will know where Paige Bueckers is hooping professionally in four hours. I can’t believe the time is already here

Maybe my favorite thing about Flau’jae Johnson as a prospect is how she plays every game like she’s facing South Carolina or UConn. The motor is insane

I’m still thinking about this pass from Ajša Sivka at U18s this past summer. She is 6’3. She is not even 19 yet. She is making this pass to the weak-side corner with her off-hand. A defender is right in her face!

Florida State’s Makayla Timpson through 4 games — albeit only one game against a P4 opponent: 21.3 points, 15.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.7 steals

Raven Johnson’s passive offensive process is so irritating. She is a good enough athlete to drive when there’s a pretty decent opening in early offense, but she just passes to someone else on the wing…

Harvard’s Harmoni Turner is already 4-5 from 3 after the 1Q??? That already matches her career-high
