Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Vanderbilt’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. 050
Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 14/12/2024This 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. 171
Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I 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 100
Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I 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 390

Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 25/11/2024MiLaysia 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 2105
Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Today’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 0111

Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 15/11/2024I’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! 030

Hunter Cruse @huntercruse.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Raven 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… 220
