Just posted a thread about this, not knowing that it was brought up in this thread lol
Lacy Stokes
- Thread starter Razzy417
- Start date
No it was more like Mox knew she was leaving and was recruiting for her next job. Judd's recruitment just came at the wrong time essentially because she would have been a slam dunk Lady Bear recruit.
I didn't know if I should do a new thread or not.
It was a joke. But still one of the dumbest things in recruiting I have ever seen. I don't care if you are leaving or not leaving.
Kiley Bess from Poplar Bluff is at Indiana St. now, did she play in that game?
Destiny Buerge had 16 points in her 1st game for Pitt St last night. I am sure she wants to follow the Lacy Stokes path.
Ten games into the season, her averages are 11.6 ppg, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals.
Hate to be that far off my prediction
16 points
5 rebounds
5 assists
All today against one of the best teams in the league. She is doing better than I thought she would.

I thought the same thing. I will say Destiny's mom doesn't post about Pitt St on social media anymore.
Glad to see things going well for the team and Coach Ressel, he's one of the good guys.
I haven't looked but I would think, with some of the wins they've had this year they should be sniffing the top 25 by now?
And kudos to Lacy, she's a gamer.
I'm not sure that I disagree with you. But I read that and thought.. for not being a great shooter she scored 2k points and came dangerously close to 2500. She's probably not a pure shooter as much as she was (I haven't watcher her role at PSU) a scoring PG for CJ. Regardless, in college there aren't going to be 3+ girls on the floor you can pick on defensively every night like she saw in HS. Even in the COC most of those schools had at least 2 defensive liabilities on the court with her at all times.
I think for her senior year she was under 30% from 3. She was very good at getting to the basket. She had a thousand moves in her pocket.
I always kinda wondered how she'd do in a different offense, or playing as a true SG with a PG that could get her the ball (like Yates in Carthage). I had an assistant coach tell me she made 170 of 200 3's on the gun over the summer before her SR year. That leads me to believe she's got the ability, but it didn't translate to games for whatever reason. Watching them play I remember most of her 3's being off the dribble.
This is probably correct. I wonder if they had stats that show the difference in her percentage. Most players don't shoot off of the dribble very well.
Yes, even a guy like Steph Curry doesn't shoot a great percentage on pull up/off the dribble 3's. He's at 36-37% on those this season but almost 10 percentage points better on catch and shoot 3's. I'm sure Buerge wasn't in a position to get a lot of open look catch and shoot 3's in high school, especially when she had the ball most of the time
Lady Bears are now 17-6, 11-3 in the conference. Who saw that coming?
Looking at their team stats vs their opponent stats, two things stand out to me...
They are out rebounding their opponents by 6 per game and all of that is offensive rebounding - 6 more offensive boards per game than the opposition
They have a 349-347 assist/turnover ratio. Their opponents have a 257/408 A/T ratio.
So MSU is getting extra possessions/shots between the offensive rebounds and opponent turnovers, and doing a pretty good job of taking care of the ball themselves. Almost 9 more FGA per game than their opponents. The shooting percentages are about dead even but it's the extra shots per game that MSU is getting that is giving them their edge.
Stokes ranks 31st in the nation in assist/turnover ratio.

Lacy was also named 2nd team all-conference and named to the all defensive team. She was named newcomer of the week 9 times, tying a league record. She ended up 2nd in the league in assists and steals per game. A very good year for the former MOSO guard.
Final numbers ended up being 11.9 ppg, 4.6 apg, 2.4 steals per game
