Also, so many players have transferred once already, and without that Covid year, we won’t have as many eligible for free grad transfers. Thus, if they wanted to transfer a second time, they would have to sit a year.

With both South Dakota and West Virginia, Coach P tended to use more post rotation than guards. Guards usually see more minutes per game, both starters and coming off the bench. But on her previous teams, and in general, posts play more physically, and it’s rough in there. More fouls are...

I read somewhere last week that Hottinger was visiting MN on Friday. Has there been any update on her situation?

That’s not what happened at South Dakota. We were very excited for her to move on to a bigger conference, as the next step in her career. She turned our program around in the six years she was there. She increased the level of competition of the nonconference schedule, including several very...

I would take Watson over Quinerly, if either were to enter the portal. Kyah Watson does all of the little stuff that does not show up on the stat book. She is a tough, smart player, and is aware of what is going on around her. Yes, she is under-sized, but she plays much bigger than her size. I...

Our South Dakota girls call her coach P.

It would be really nice if Ariel Braker came along as well. She is an amazing posts coach. And Aaron Horn really gets the girls going with his energy and his defense, especially the guards.

Ware has talent, although it will be interesting to see how well she comes back / remains healthy after her well publicized injuries. Down in the Virgin Islands a year and a half ago, our team was scheduled to play right after Arizona. Ware was pretty much a detriment to her team. Yes, she has...

The leak was from Minnesota, as at least one player told their parents of the hire on Friday. One parent told friends in the basketball community, which was then shared with a group I am in. Not sure who ultimately spread the info which led to the now- deleted tweet, but it did come from a MN-...

Grace Larkins from USD is very good, but I don’t think she is ready for this level. She is very quick, and has good ball skills, but even after 2 years, she’s still learning how to share the ball with others. In addition, she doesn’t have the judgment to stop herself from driving into double and...

Her South Dakota teams were in the top 10 in defense in the nation, not just in the summit. And they also had around the fifth fewest turnovers in the nation last year. These girls were very disciplined.

I think we’re going to see a change in styles for a lot of teams next year, when the shot clock comes in to play for the whole season. While I agree that STMA should have slowed it down a little more in the second half, there’s only going to be so much slowing down they can do going forward...

In addition, as a mid major, it’s hard to schedule some of the P5 opponents, especially when your team is very good. There are P5 teams that will not schedule strong mid-majors because they don’t want to have a loss. We were lucky at South Dakota, in that South Carolina, Oklahoma, and Missouri...

I have lurked on this board for quite a few years, but with the hire of Coach P, I decided it’s time to create an account. My daughter played for coach P at South Dakota, and I am ecstatic for this hire. She is a fantastic coach, not just on the court, but also in the growth and development of...
