one one won the championship last year favorite to win the championship this year favored to win another MVP Asia Wilson has done everything in a short amount of time that anyone can ask for in a basketball career but she's just getting started she's just getting started just getting started her future is so bright with the aces ages 27 years old Asia is 27 years old y'all she hasn't hit her athletic Prime yet we don't know how good she can be and you know the best thing about the stat line the best thing about this stat line of 53 points it's a cool it's a lot of things first off first off she was 16 for 23 from the field that's 69 percent 69 one for one from the three-point line so she wasn't jacking up a whole lot of Threes like some players do now in this WNBA in this NBA and this college basketball era she wasn't jacking up nine ten threes she shot one she also shot 20 for 21 from the free throw line that's 95 percent Asia Wilson is the center she's six foot five 20 for 21 for the free throw line oh throw in seven rebounds throw in four blocks throw in don't forget the WNBA game is shorter than 10 minute quarters Asia Wilson played 33 minutes she scored 53 points in 33 minutes that's like Michael Jordan my favorite player of all time when they play 48 minutes that's like him scoring 70. agent Wilson is a Phenom and she is the best player in the world Bar None nobody she scored she rebounds she blocks shots she plays defense what more do you want out of a player what more do you want out of the player she is the most dominant player in WNBA that's what she do and she is a Carolina Gamecock through and through Asia Wilson barring injury barring injury Asia Wilson will go down as a top five top three player and WNBA history and it all started at the University of South Cara Lina it all started there it all started there greatness personified is Asia Wilson continue to watch her work couple things I want to talk about couple things I want to talk about I was going to talk about it yesterday but I decided to push it to the right and talk about it today we're going to talk about Amari Berry Amari Berry the seventh ranked player in the country one of the most talented ladies to to in the class of 2024 recently committed to the Clemson Tigers if you know Captain will you know how I feel about Clemson not a fan never have been a fan never will be a fan of the Clemson Tigers never it's not going to happen everybody know the Rivalry between Carolina and Clemson we know what that is in every sport I don't care if it's football I don't care if it's basketball baseball uh fencing equestrian uh uh uh Spades Hopscotch whatever the case may be nobody from South Carolina likes anybody from uh uh uh from Clemson that just goes with the territory okay but Amari Berry surprised me one by going to Clemson because Clemson sucked but you know every every every uh uh recruit every every lady in this country has the opportunity to go to whatever school they want to if they're talented if they're talented enough and Amara bear had the choice of many many schools every school in the country the top schools meaning she could have went to South Carolina she could have went to UConn she could have went to LSU she could have went to her home state Tennessee but she decided to go to Clemson she decided to go to Clemson and I read this article read this article and it perked my interest perk my interest because of the reasons why she decided to go to Clemson Clemson is bad at basketball bad in basketball they are but they scored a top top recruit and the reasons that that Amari Berry said that she chose the Clemson Tigers let's start with Carolina she said that Carolina offered her back in 22. and then the conversations basically stop conversation is basically stopped okay I don't know if this true or not not not sure I could speculate I could give me my opinion that's why you were watching Captain will for me to get in my opinion okay my opinion is my opinion is that that's the way she feels if she feels that happen then it happens okay it could be that Carolina wasn't recruiting her as hard because Carolina recruits everyone in Carolina doesn't necessarily have to recruit hear me now Carolina doesn't have to necessarily recruit because players want to come to Carolina Don Stanley does not have to come into your living room for you to be want to be a Gamecock most of these girls have grown up watching South Carolina watching how dominant they are so it's not as aggressive as as some teams where you are having Constant Contact text messages phone calls whatever case it be going to your gym I ain't saying I know what happened because I don't know what happened all I'm saying is maybe uh Murray Berry didn't get recruited the way she wanted to by South Carolina now she felt the same way about a couple other schools where they just you know dip their toe in a little bit dip their toe in a little bit but they didn't show her the love that she wanted Amari Berry wanted to be loved she wanted to be be uh uh uh feel like uh field warning Phil I mean really wanted that's how she wanted to feel and she just didn't get that love from other schools but she got the love from Clemson she said Clemson kept in contact with her country was the first one to offer her Clemson was always recruiting her Clemson constantly put pressure on Amari Berry and show how much love they have for her in it apparently it worked she ended up signing with Clemson regardless of how bad they're gonna suck for the next four years because it's Clemson but she decided to go there she decided to go there will she stay four years at Clemson I don't know pardon me say no what I'm really surprised is why she didn't choose Tennessee how did Tennessee let a talent the the the the the the the the the uh the talent of Amari Berry lead those state lines not only leave those state lines to go to a bad school called Clemson it is unbelievable it is unbelievable it brought me to to the to to this to this feeling of how I would feel if Joyce Edwards leaves the the state of South Carolina and go to it LSU go to it Tennessee go to a UConn go to a Stanford go to one of these these schools I would feel bad I'll feel horrible I would feel out of place but I would feel even worse if she chose to stay in state and go to Clemson that would really irritate me but just hypothetically speaking what if Joyce L was decided to go to Clemson what if George Edwards decide to go to Clemson and join Murray Berry in Clemson that would make them probably number one number two recruiting class in the country for a team that suck but if you have a two teams like or if you have two players the capability of a mark Berry and Joyce Edwards joining your school Jordan your basketball team you won't suck forever you won't be bad because these players don't don't Joyce Edwards for one is the best player in the country Amari Barrett number seven three player in the country they can play they can work they are extremely good I'm saying all this to say this I don't want Joyce Edwards to leave the perimeter of South Carolina I do not but I damn sure don't want her going to Clemson Amari Berry um disappointed that you are not a game cop but I respect your decision I just don't like Clemson this concludes
