Looking at the numbers Taylor Gault is another something special

Gault
So far in her freshmen year Taylor is shooting 40% from the field and averaging 15.6 points per game and is playing 28.4 minutes per game.

Chastity
In her freshmen year she shot 43.9% and averaged 6.8 points per game and played 20.9 minutes per game.

In her sophomore year she shot 46.4% and averaged 18.1 points per game and played 33.6 minutes per game.

In her junior year she shot 45.8% and averaged 24.8 points per game and played 34.8 minutes per game.

In her senior year she shot 43.4% and averaged 19.6 points per game and played 33.4 minutes per game.

Both players are very good. But I believe Gualt is more versatile. She can play the 1,2 and 3 position.

After tonights game Taylor is shooting 41%, averaging 15.9 pts and playing 28.7 minutes. Keeps getting better.

Thru 18 games Taylor is shooting 40.4% from the field, and averaging 16.3 points per game while playing 29.4 minutes per game.

Chas developed into a great player. She was somewhat unheralded when she arrived. But as I recall, Taylor was the ladies player of the year in Arkansas her senior season. She came with much higher credentials than Chas. But if she continues to improve and stays all four years, she'll probably break all of the women's scoring records.

My friend, who's daughter was ranked that 2nd or 3rd best player in the State, said he had never heard of Taylor Gault when I asked him about her the other day. He didn't believe she was highly ranked, but I'll do some checking on that.

Taylor Gault was unranked according to ESPN Hoopgurlz site- she got a rating of "40" which is given to all players who have not been officially evaluated. By contrast, my friend's daughter (Sharlay Burris) was rated as the #36 guard in the nation and given a rating of 90. Sharlay signed with UCA and is started to get more playing time on a very good UCA team.

Well, she should have been rated the best player in the state. She gets my vote. And why was a kid evaluated who signed with UCA, and Taylor wasn't evaluated at all. As someone said, Taylor could play for anyone. The fact that she wasn't evaluated tells you something about the rating system.

I guess all that matter is that Foley thought she was the best player in the state. According to the presser on her signing she chose UALR over North Carolina State.

Coach Foley told me at the luncheon yesterday that North Carolina wanted her very badly, but she wanted to stay near home. Wish some of our really good men players in the area felt that same way.
