Coaching transitions are hard. Madol and Dalan were prime candidates to get lost in the transition. Will be surprised if Dalan stays if she wants to play.

Thought she played well in the Big Ten Tourney, but the minutes were still low: 4, 0, 13, 4. Easy to understand why she wanted to play elsewhere for her COVID year.

Like the Stewart pickup. Can shoot the 3. The Gophers can play differently on offense when she is on the floor instead of Hart, perhaps opening up driving lanes for others. Was puzzled by her downward trend at Nebraska, with her senior year being her career low in minutes by a good margin...

Now she can spend more time at her Minnesota cabin.

Been reading that Iowa can't be too aggressive in the portal because they have only 1 open scholarship for next year.

Wisconsin fans have been openly speculating/rumour spreading over the last month+ that Kapinus might return home to Madison to play her senior year.

It's raining transfers at Michigan:

Down 4 decent to key contributors , Phelia plus Taylor Woodson, 6’0, F, Fr. (1.9 ppg) Taylor Williams, 6’2, F, Sr. (4.3 ppg) Cameron Williams, 6’3, F, Sr. (7.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg)

Time for Olivia Olson to rethink.

All I've read is that she wanted to love ND (Catholic family & high school, family loved ND), but just didn't feel that way. I've also seen it speculated that Muffet McGraw would not have retired from ND at the end of 2019-20 season if she knew Clark was coming in the fall. Others have...

True, but she did commit to ND on her visit, which Clark didn’t love. Thought she was doing the right thing to commit to the Catholic blue blood, which her mom loved. But after committing, no social media announcement or public statement. As reported in the long ESPN article, she then...

You are right that FG% is key for Braun (and Battle), especially 2-point FG%. 46 BIG players averaged 10 points or more per game this season (whole year, not conference play), and Braun and Battle were 45th (Braun) and 46th (Battle) in 2-point FG% out of this group.

I like what GG says about Coach P's recruiting eye. GG had an unimpressive list of offers both when she committed to ASU, originally, and when she committed to Coach P at West Virginia. Her relative lack of athleticism seems like the likely explanation. But she can shoot, and she knows how to...

MSP # 2 TV market for the Iowa-UConn game (of top 44 metro markets).

You and this board were generally ahead of the curve.

The pendulum may also swing back in the direction of the defense, which would be good for the Gophers. Since 2010, the 4 most efficient BIG offenses are 4 Caitlin Clark teams. The last 2 IU teams are also top 10 offenses since 2010. This year’s OSU, PSU and MSU teams are also top 16 offenses...

Agreed, especially with starting 2 freshman, even if they were both McDonalds AAs.

Good points. Just hate to see a marquee player like Serah Williams get injured.

Hoping for health the rest of the way for the Gophers. Wisconsin lost Serah Williams after the first possession in their WNIT game tonight to an apparent knee injury. If she is seriously injured, it will bring into to focus the risk of playing in a third-rate tournament for teams that couldn't...

I like Diana Taurasi's description of Clark as the alien. Her circumstances at Iowa make it really hard to compare her to the all-time greats from the dynasty programs. Clark is safely described as the best Big Ten WBB player of all time, but on a national basis, really hard to place Clark...
