    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    Are we even sure there's going to be a WNBA draft/season? She could certainly enter the draft, but I doubt that she would be drafted. I'm thinking that her game doesn't translate all that well to the WNBA, as she was primarily a 3-point shooter and a lot of those opportunities go away with the...

    Transfer Portal

    Really interesting to see the large number of transfers these days, including some major players. One of the reasons I've enjoyed the women's college game "was" that you could usually count on players staying for the full four years. No "one and done" players like the men's game; very few...

    Recruiting

    I'm not buying that Cosgriff is anti-Gopher. It's my opinion that the Gophers have to earn the reputation as a landing spot for coveted high school players and they haven't done that yet. As others have said, AAU coaches and others usually have much more influence than high school coaches do...

    Transfer Portal

    Looks like some good post players have entered the portal. It would be great if the Gophers could add a post transfer. On Maryland losing Austin, that's a huge loss for the Terps. I agree with the thought that there must be something about Freese that at least some players don't like, as she...

    B1G Game 12: Minnesota Visits Wisconsin (2-6-20)

    Love the energy that Masha brings. Too bad she's a senior. K. Bello's rebounding a major factor in the outcome. The two frosh guards having to carry a lot of the offensive load. Second half too close for comfort, after a great first half.

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    I don't mean to drag this thread further and I don't mean to drag a men's basketball story into the women's thread, but there are so many likenesses to what happened with Pitts at Minnesota and what happened with the Badgers second leading scorer Kobe King. Both players left mid-season, both...

    B1G Conference Games: 2019-20

    Hawkeyes have been so much better than I thought they would be after losing Gustafson, Stewart, and Davis to graduation. Bluder is a very underrated coach. Also, her player Doyle often flies under the radar. She's a "heart and soul" player who brings it every game.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Nebraska (1-30-20)

    Loved the effort from Masha. She plays hard. Hubbard does better in transition. She's not giving them much now. The effort is there, but she's not hitting shots. Brunson is a solid player.

    B1G Game 10: Gophers Host Nebraska (1-30-20)

    Loved the defensive effort in the second half. Yes, Powell and Brunson were terrific. Looks to me like Powell was more of a "take charge" player tonight. Nice to see from a freshman point. She also played good D and got some rebounds.

    Is the WBB imploding this season?

    It's ironic that the person who started this thread was previously one of Whalen's biggest boosters. For someone that was previously wearing rose-colored glasses, the sky is now apparently falling. It's certainly your prerogative to change your mind, but, IMO, that's a very quick turn. I too...

    Is the WBB imploding this season?

    Looks like the Kool-Aid is starting to wear off.

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    MenneSota, when you say the Whalen runs her program her way and no one tells her how to run it, I don't think she's been coaching long enough yet to know how she runs her program. You've compared coaches to bosses before and that's fine, but with any boss, losing a key employee can have a...

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    Good one, Iggy. Maybe I'm showing my age, but do people of the younger generation even flip the bird these days? One other question of a more serious nature: We've criticized Whalen, Pitts, the Athletic Department. Where was Whalen's coaching staff during this entire fiasco? Not the stuff...

    Big Ten Player of the Week (and Year)

    Love Scalia's game. She's improved substantially since high school and there might be more improvement yet to be had. I'm thinking so.

    Can the Lady Gophers still make the NCAA Tournament?

    IMO, Staples was never going to be able to contribute much at this level. No offense to her, but she just wasn't good enough. After starting the first game of the season, she fell behind Scalia, Powell, and Masha on the depth chart. Not saying that she wouldn't be getting minutes now if she...

    BIG Game 7: Gophers Visit Purdue (1-19-20)

    This was a nice win, one I might not have even expected with DP. I'm happy that the ladies were able to have some good things happen after a rough week. Looks to me like they are not going to pack it in/give up on the season; they've played hard the last two games. Team looks like it's...

    Can the Lady Gophers still make the NCAA Tournament?

    Me thinks someone has had a bit too much Kool-Aid this afternoon. But, I admire the optimism.

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    I'm thinking that things were out of Whalen's hands by the time it got to the AD's office. 1) It never should have reached that point. 2) Once it did, it's my feeling that Whalen still should have fought for Desitiny, unless she was done with her. A lot has been said about the consequences for...

    STrib: Destiny's Teammate's Respond on Social Media

    DP obviously not the villain that some on this board have labeled her. That doesn't mean that she didn't have a lapse in character. IMO it does show that at least some on the team (more like many) considered her to be a leader and friend. When a team loses a leader and friend, you can't brush...

    Destiny PItts: Transfers to Texas A&M (All Things Suspension and Transfer Related)

    If this was just a body language issue, I'll never understand how it escalated to this point. If it was more than a body language issue, then it would behoove the U to at least acknowledge that it was more than a body language issue, without necessarily giving specifics The U has more to lose...
