    Looking back and a little foward: Whalen years

    Thanks for the correction. I thought they changed her title her last year.

    Looking back and a little foward: Whalen years

    In adding to the narrative I started. Didn't think about additional challenges of coaching staff. O'Bannion, associate head coach leaves for head coaching position in spring of 2021. Carly is promoted to associate head coach. Shimmy Gray-Miller is added as assistant coach. Spring, 2022...

    Other B1G Team Notes 2022-23

    Well with defections from OH and MD, adding Scalia and Parrish, they certainly improved their chances. But prior to seeing other moves, it looks really good for Hawkeyes.

    Gopher 22-23 Transfer Portal Needs/Watch List

    Will this trend work for or against the Gophers?

    Other B1G Team Notes 2022-23

    This transfer portal process is quite intriguing. Does this mean someone on the IN roster will enter the portal seeing she just lost out on playing time? Certainly looks like IN will be a strong candidate to win the B1G.

    Looking back and a little foward: Whalen years

    I thought that I would take a stab at a look at the Whalen coaching years and all the things that have worked against Whalen and the Gophers. Admittedly, some are on Whalen, but much of it was outside her control. Great talent makes a coach look much better, and lesser talent probably more...

    Whalen April 6th Presser

    So far Whalen's record W/L wise has been less than hoped for. But, let's give her some credit. Members of this board have been crying for a coach who would recruit in MN and keep the best players home at the U. In the last 15 or so years has any coach been able to do it? One might even argue...

    Linsay Whalen Questionable Coaching Ability

    Interesting. Geno said what I had been wondering for a while. Nearly 1000 in portal and only 341 teams. About 3 per team on average, but also means only 3 spots per team on average available. With a class of freshman recruits also coming in, this has to mean many in the portal won't find a...

    Sara Scalia enters the transfer portal

    https://www.startribune.com/gophers-guard-sara-scalia-enters-ncaa-transfer-portal/600160987/ And now Sara is leaving too. UGH. The Gophers women's basketball team has lost another player to the NCAA transfer portal. But this one might be the most difficult to take. Stillwater's Sara Scalia...

    Portal Recruiting is a New World

    Another thought about timing of the whole process. Is it sort of like free agency? Some players wait to commit until they see where others have gone (or left)? So suddenly there could be a flurry of activity in mid-April?

    Portal Recruiting is a New World

    I think this topic deserves to be separate from the Portal Transfer Needs thread. When does it end? It seems that there will be some period after the Final Four is concluded before the transfers are filed. For example, Ohio State’s season just ended and now three have entered the portal...

    All Things Paige Bueckers Recruitment Thread - Videos, Analysis, Tid-Bits, Articles

    I would say if NCAA did anything to help UConn, it already did by where the game is being played, essentially home court advantage. The ones with the whistles will call what they see.

    Other B1G Team Notes 2022-23

    Raoul_000 (@Raoul) Tweeted: Kateri Poole (5-8 SO point guard, Bronx, NY) has entered her name into the portal, out of Ohio State WBB; played in 25 games in 2021-22, starting 13 and averaging 4.8 PPG in 16.1 MPG; was ranked in the top 25 in the 2020 recruiting class

    Would like to see one B1G team move on. But hard to cheer against underdog SD, especially when they have 5 MN players on their team. SD making a game of it in the 4th Q

    Gophers to face Green Bay in WNIT first round

    So if they win the NIT, then they will have a better than .500 record? And if lose in the finals, a .500 record?

    Lindsay Whalen receives one year contract extension

    Frankly, I think it is the right move. The contract confirms that if it doesn't work, the buyout won't be a deterrent compared to other coaches' buyouts. Regardless of opinions regarding her in-game coaching prowess, she has had a tough uphill struggle to repair all the damage to instate...
