I know there's a lot about this team that has come together to create the success that it has had so far. But there's one really big wild card in the mix and that's Dono Hunter. She has surprised from the start of this season with her ability to run the point at a pretty high level as a true freshman. That's great and she's shown a tendency to be very steady with few valleys in her play. But what she brought to the table over this past weekend is potentially a game-changer for the Beavers. If Hunter continues to combine her great defense and general point guard skills and becomes a scoring threat to boot, this team could be as good as almost anybody.

What makes her better is Kennedie's ability to come off the bench with little drop off in performance. She can rest knowing we have someone to take over for her. Additionally, when the 3s are dropping, the lanes open up.

The Oregon girls are a special pair. Both are legitimate point guards. They were really good as high school seniors but as college freshmen they are at another level. From watching the games so far this season ands seeing Aleah working with them during games in sure she deserves some credit for their meteoric rise. It's like they have made a "Kolby leap" already. Let's hope they can make more of those leaps

Exciting to see Hunter get recognized for her excellent play this weekend. Well deserved honor. This is the first time Watkins did not win the award while eligible (a WSU player won when USC didn’t play).
Rueck’s persistent recruiting of Hunter despite her knee injuries has really paid off.

Interesting point: PAC Player of the Week (Brink), and PAC Frosh of the week (Hunter) both Oregon High School products. GO BEAVS!!

Oregon has consistently produced top ranked high school girls dating way back. Way more than one would think. How about the head coach and 2 assistant coaches not only coming from the state but also having graduated from OSU. I would have no idea how to check it but I bet that is unique.

I saw a tweet from Aleah on Donovyn's play this weekend. And then I saw Donovyn tweet back to Aleah recognizing Aleah for her coaching. Best recruit we got in the off season was Aleah Goodman. GO BEAVS!

Let's hope they can make more of those leaps So true! I had no idea that Kennedie had 5 assists vs Utah? Both of these freshman PGs are delivering the rock on-time & an in a place where shooters can release their shot quickly. Both have no fear taking it to the rim, which I absolutely love to see. Kennedie (and a few others) need to put in some extra reps at the free throw line. GO BEAVS!

I have noticed in rewatching the past few games that Donovyn is exceptional at getting the ball to the open shooter in the exact position the shooter needs to be able to get the shot up quickly and within rhythm. Time and time again this happens. I believe without question this is a big part of the increased efficiency of the teams overall 3 pt shooting results as of late.

We have two frosh point guards that have completely different styles of play. They have a confidence that moments aren’t to big for them and the ability to lead the team during frantic times. They just need to learn to stay away from a corner when other teams press full court.
