Wow, no evaluation? Does that mean they can't even google the web to find video clips to watch their prospect play? How are they going to enforce that?

Awesome! She kept us in suspense for a while, but it sounds like she found a program where she will fit in really well and be successful. We're all happy for her. Now if the Gophers can just schedule a non-conference game against TAMU, that would be great, since we all got a raw deal by missing...

Yeah, I was the one pointing that out earlier. If you go back a couple pages, you can find my diatribe on that subject. The short version is that if they pass the proposed rule change (on May 20, I think) then no sit-out-year is the new norm. The academic sub-rule is required anyway, so the...

I agree. They're just signing up to compete against 71 draftees in 2021 to make a team. The draft was held virtually on the 17th and of course Sabrina went #1. Here's some links on the results ... https://www.wnba.com/news/inside-the-w-with-michelle-smith-wnba-draft-2020-analysis...

Don't say I don't have a clue, since my prior analysis on that was taken straight from the formal statement of the proposed new transfer rules. What I don't know is what exact procedures would be used to implement those rules. Rules are just a policy, but then there needs to be administrative...

And then, of course, there's the special (as I'll call it) "Let's punish Destiny Pitts some more rule" on which (if you scroll back a few pages) you can see my earlier diatribe. It says you don't get the no-wait benefits if you were under discipline (e.g., suspended indefinitely for bad body...

Could be a walk-on since her scholie is already paid for. I suppose soccer ends like November or something. Is basketball team size limitations just a cap on scholarship players, or is there a hard cap on number of players per se?

Perhaps they're worried about whether their senior college seasons will happen, and figured may as well jump now. If no WNBA season, then the WNBA will have to figure out, how much do we pay our team members for "not playing." Or maybe they will play "straight to video." This C-19 mess also...

A year ago, the Noah system was purchased for the Gopher Women's Basketball practice court - by the support group whose name slips my memory right now. This was a great purchase, and enough to make me want to join and pay dues. I believe the Noah system (plus shooting coaches) can be credited...

I suppose we could start Blanket Lady via some fanciful NCAA exception, but then who would carry the blanket?

The only definitive news I see about the 2020 WNBA Season is on the Wiki of the latter title, which says ... On April 3, 2020, the WNBA announced that the start of its own schedule would also be postponed, although there were few details on what the revised schedule might look like. The 2020...

I agree that McKenzie not being a great high-school three-point shooter need not slow her down at the college level. Take Jasmine Powell as a fairly comparative example. She didn’t have much of a three-pointer at all from what I could see from early non-conf games. But with training from the...

That’s a great get. Whay to be watching that transfer portal, WBB coaching staff. If (wishful thinking) we had a true C of Shakira’s caliber on our 2019-20 team, we could have been top-3 in Big Ten for sure. Wondering if she’s planning on sitting out a year. Even if NCAA relaxes its transfer...

Nia Coffey traded to Phoenix Mercury, now playing with Diana Taurasi. That is, if there’s a WNBA season, which I doubt.

You could say that Lamke regressed after her freshman year as from the stats that's technically true, I guess. But more to the truth was that she was put in as starter way too soon, way before she was ready. Not her fault, coaching mistake. Nevertheless, those minutes helped her grow into the...

Yeah you're right in that Frese always seems to luck out big-time with the recruits. But I agree with the other comments - namely that I suspect Frese is a bear to be coached by. There are some players that are just going to be rubbed the wrong way by her. On one hand, that can happen with any...

That's a big blow for Nebraska. They'll have Cain for another year, but Kate Cain and Ashtyn Veerbeek were the one-two rebounding/blocking duo that just killed other Big-Ten teams, and gave the Huskers a fighting chance for their (otherwise average) guards to go to work and win games for them...

Yeah, from this post I'd say that her needing a Marine Biology school is overblown. None of the Marine Biology schools from my post #121 are in the set {Marquette, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois}. You only need to go to a Marine Biology school as an undergrad, if you really have a burning desire to...

I think that's a good get at a position where we need depth for next year (with more height coming in out years). But perhaps even more importantly ... > Almost immediately, Gophers coach Lindsay Whalen called. … I think that it's great that Whalen and staff are watching that Transfer Portal...

After watching this video (and a couple other nice games that it led me to on YouTube), I'd say that Adalia McKenzie was a whole lot more relaxed, and whole lot more "in the flow of the game" (if that conveys the essence of what I'm wanting to say), and in general played a whole lot better in...
