Joyce has literally won every MVP award in the all star games, and now the MVP in the U18 a d a Gold Medal!

Joyce Edwards already has a WNBA body, and she hasn't even played a day of college basketball yet. What the Gamecocks are gonna have down in Columbia this season ain't even fair.

Congratulations to USA on winning Gold🇺🇸 🤠👏🏾! Our South Carolina native / USC Fighting Gamecock, Joyce Edwards is out there balling 😀🐔🤙🏾!

THANK you for the "flowers" for Joyce! THE REAL #1 2024 RECRUIT!!!

I am just glad that Strong walked away without injury🤞

Joyce has been the MVP of all these all-star games, yet ESPN ranked her 3. Sarah Strong should be re ranked to 10 & Joyce 1. Jazzy Davidson & Zakiyah Johnson are SC leans.

Thankful no one was injured

It seems every 3-4 years, South Carolina has a local (state) player who is really elite. I attribute this to these girls growing up and watching Dawn Staley's teams. I wonder if Dawn was not the coach if the talent in SC would be as deep. I bet not. It's an interesting phenomenon.

I have to call bs on the minutes restriction claim I am seeing in the chat. That’s nothing but a theory. Yes. Strong did not play in the Jordan brand classic as a precaution. But that was months ago. She participated in summer session at UConn. And Geno mentioned nothing about a problem. She was participating in everything. And according to Geno is even better than they thought. They were winning games at this tournament by 100 points. It doesn’t make sense for her to even go if she needs to be on a minutes restriction. Not buying it.

The amount of hate for Sarah is crazy to me. Sure, Joyce showed out. But Sarah was amazing as well! Plus adding to all of that. The competition was soooo easy. Obviously, a post player is going to demolish other teams who might not even have a player over 6 feet. I feel like no one these days are able to enjoy multiple players from different teams and they have to find someone to hate on. Joyce is going to pop off and be great at South Carolina and Sarah is going to be amazing for UConn. Please stop acting like both can't happen people....

Also Bascoe from Canada impressed. She is headed to Villanova. It’s too bad Olsen and Dalce are gone. She will likely be on a bad team. But she should be able to put up big stats as a freshman.

Nice take. I haven't watched the game. I became bored because of all the USA blow outs and totally forgot the Canada game.

Unfortunately it would be unfair to comment on these players bc I haven’t seen them play. Plus I’m more interested in seeing them play once they are in D1. B2S what’s wrong with criticizing these players if they deserve criticism while playing at the U18 level.

First, been watching basketball for close to 70 years and saying that as far as recent history this is one of the worst coached national teams I have seen in recent memory, undisciplined, sloppy and often just plain chaotic. It took an uber talented team of players to overcome such miserable coaching and win the gold - kudos to them. Next time either Ivey or Fernandez as the head coach. Second without a doubt the best player I saw out (I am a UConn fan so literally no dog in the fight) was clearly Sienna Betts. Her stat line alone was beyond as a whole everyone else’s on the team, then add in her impeccable defense and clearly she is the MVP of the tournament. SMH As far as ranking them one to six - no opinion other than Betts being clearly the best there is out there.

I would like UConn to land Jazzy. I think their class is looking weak otherwise. And I say that even with the assumption that somfai is a lock. Heckel is one to keep an eye on. I don’t think she is Hannah Hidalgo though. I have no idea what kind of college player she will be. And I definitely don’t know if she can make an impact as a freshman.

You know Sarah Strong was 1 of them with minute restiction

I think Heckel was better then Lee imo

THE COACHES PLAYED THE MVP AND NOT THE # 1 player in the USA A SHAME

Your videos are so weird to me! Your forming opinions on these players who in these game had no competition whatsoever… so of course they all looked good… none of them really did anything exciting for US team.

I watched the whole thing she comes as advertised easy first Roy’s pick, strong comes as advertised and heckle was another player that surprised me.
