Great, another round of bashing Kennedy Brown. Maybe next year we can all move on? I thought this was about Kennedy Brown bashing OSU I thought this was about players entering the transfer portal in 2024. |

An interview that Kennedy Brown gave to a Durham newspaper about the success she is having at Duke this year. It was rather enlightening that playing at Duke this year is better because she broke out of the bad habits she got at her previous school. Can you give the link? I can't find it. She doesn’t say bad habits, just different. “It was kind of just breaking habits that I had learned at Oregon State, things that we would do differently there and reverting back to more of a natural defensive system for me,” Brown said. www.dukechronicle.com/article/2024/03/duke-womens-basketball-kennedy-brown-kara-lawson-oregon-state-defensive-anchor |

When players transfer to OSU it takes a year to learn SR's defensive system. I would find it odd if it didn't take Brown a year to learn someone else's system. It somewhat amusing that according to Her Hoop Stats Brown overall defensive score has stayed fairly static while her offense score has gradually improved. Her offense has been helped by mostly giving up shooting the 3.

Thx... thank you for factual info. Hmmmm... didn't diss OSU at all. Just a different system, learning new "habits". The constant BS of posters making crap up gets old. Thx again! |

I like Kennedy, but her time at Duke has only resorted in slightly better shooting percentage and less rebounding per game. She's a good player but never took the step I hoped she would while at OSU (or at Duke for that matter). Her size and defensive ability should get her some time playing oversees if she wants to continue playing. Best of luck to her.

In all seriousness, I don’t understand the saltiness about Brown. We have two forwards who are considerably more talented and IMO significantly better players. Jones is a different story.

Back to the actual transfer portal, significant WCC news:

She didn't waste any time hopping in the portal after their loss yesterday. Great player, but too many TO's for most people on this board. I don't think the Beavs would be interested, but she would be a good pickup.

In the case of Kennedy Brown, I think her transfer worked out beautifully for both Duke and OSU. Taya C had given OSU 5 years. We had no right whatsoever to expect/demand a 6th. She's still one of my favorite Beavs ever. Greta K and Savannah S aren't missed and I wish them both the best. Sasha's situation was unique and I don't think anyone begrudges her desire to move back closer to her family support system. Health issues ultimately truncated her career and I hope for her to return to full health - to be young and have to face such a serious health challenge is heartrending. As far as Taylor - I think the injuries wore her down too and seems to be thriving back on her home turf - good for her. The development of this 2023-24 team has been astonishing and so enjoyable as a fan. I'm not ready for this season to end just yet. |
