Like the Thomas pickup. Confusing high school recruiting ranking, not that it matters any more. Ranked # 57 by ESPN in the fall of 2023. By graduation time in the spring of 2024, no longer in the ESPN top 100.

Appreciate that ESPN shows stats for 20 games, which is 11 nonconference games against generally weak competition and 9 games against Big 12 competition. I find conference stats to be much more meaningful. In conference play against Big 12 teams, including 3 ranked teams, she shot 10 for 37...

I’m a fan of the Harmon commitment. Think she can help, but shooting is a question mark. Grace, Tori and Mara all shot the ball much better against Big Ten competition than Harmon did against Big 12 competition. In-Conference Shooting Percentages (2025-26): Grace: 3P% 41.4%; 2P% 52.4%. Tori...

I’m a fan of the Harmon pickup, though it comes with some real questions (most portal acquisitions do). There’s also a money component here. The Gophers may very well not have a lot of money for PG, given that Minnesota is a finalist for Merkle, who is going to command a lot more money than...

Leah Harmon. ESPN # 33 and Prospects Nation # 21 her senior year in high school. Harmon only played half the Big 12 conference season this year, but she was 8th in the Big 12 in FTA per game. Must put a lot of pressure on the defense. Also shot 86.4% from the line in conference play. Seems...

Yes. She visited here. Wonder if she might be a better fit for the Big Ten.

Guessing a massive pay cut for Addie Deal.

Fixes the front-court scoring hole on this year’s Michigan team.

Makes sense. I only watched Stanford a couple of times, but Agara and Crooks seem like a stylistic mismatch.

Minnesota and Washington seem like good fits. Oregon not so much. Katie FIso might be the fastest player in the conference with the ball. Merkle the polar opposite.

Think you're mixed up on the Brylee Glenn timeline. Glenn last started/played for KSU in the 2023-24 season, when KSU lost at home in the tourney and did not make it to the Sweet 16. The next year, 2024-25, Glenn chose to redshirt at KSU because she had lost her starting spot and was going to...

Mixed feelings about the Merkle interest. She is really slow. Coach P has mastered playing slow, and results matter most of all, but I would be a fan of playing faster. This year, the Gophers were 18th in conference play in pace of play (last year 14th out of 18; the year before 13th out of 14).

Wouldn’t be shocking to see McGill in the portal again next season.

Who falls out of the top half? Michigan State? Who else?

Unless she is dying to get back to New England, Fairfield seems like an odd choice with McCarthy having 2 years remaining. A good chance that Carly is not there as coach for 2 years.

HyVee also supports Nebraska and Wisconsin athletics in the BIG.

Guessing Carnegie, 1st-team All SEC, cost Iowa a pretty penny.

Agree based a lot on NCAAT performance, as it should be, IMO. Still, interesting that Iowa went 6-3 against the other ranked BIG teams, and Minnesota went 2-7. Still think I would rather have Minnesota's season, but hard to know.

Seems like a dumb idea pre-portal signings, but that doesn't stop ESPN. 5. Michigan 6. USC 9. Iowa 12. OSU 13. Maryland 15. Oregon 16. Illinois 17. Washington 19. Minnesota 23. Nebraska...

It’s a Longhorn football game. I would prefer to watch basketball.
