Iowa making light work out of Minnesota. Pulling away ...

Tennessee has dropped out of the top 25. #5 in preseason rankings. Last two games - Jasmine Powell 2pts against Colorado and 1pt against Eastern Kentucky. Kelly Harper is a solid coach and definitely in charge of her team.

I think you are shooting a little high on the coaching ability. why do you think all the players left last year

Great players want to play for great coaches and compete on the biggest stage. Congrats to Ms. Johnson. It is ironic that Staley introduced Whalen at the HOF a few weeks ago.

Uconn played for the National Championship last year, Minnesota lost to Drake by 14, and Drake finished 6th in the Missouri Valley Conference last year. I'm sure she wishes she went to Minnesota. and the year before Drake beat Minnesota by 33 at home. Get well Paige.

Seeds and finishes for Girls EYBL 17U Nike Nationals this summer. 32 teams in pool EYBL WI Flight Elite (WI) Seed #1 / Finish 9th EYBL All Iowa Attack (IA) Seed #5/ Finish 17th EYBL North Tartan (MN) Seed #11/ Finish 14th EYBL Michigan Crossover (MI) Seed #15/ Finish 23rd

If either player wants to be pushed they would go to EYBL All Iowa Attack (IA) or EYBL WI Flight Elite (WI). Much better coaching and player competition. Just ask a college coach which program is best and see how they respond. However, making the top team roster may be tough.

:unsure: Hard to watch.

Actually got a player not from Minnesota (and from Iowa too). Nice.

Really? Hasn't Gray-Miller been at like a half a dozen stops? :unsure: Coaches transfer all the time (mostly based on who they know, versus what they know) and typically when things are not going well (not winning or culture issues)

Final Four Reunion. Stollings with Kenisha Bell, Destiny Pitts, Diva Hubbard.

The ongoing player sentiment is Whalen seems to favor the Minnesota kids (i.e Scalia, LBK, Mershon, Borowicz, Helgren, Czicano, 4 recruits, etc.) and give them more opportunities then non-Minnesota kids. She has a vision of MN players making an impact on her teams. The majority of players that...

Butler's new coach, Austin Parkinson, came from IUPUI where he was 224-141 with multiple Horizon League championships, WNIT and NCAA appearances. IUPUI went 24-5 this season and beat the Iowa Hawkeyes and took Michigan to OT. He will make Butler University a contender in the Big East.

"Scheduled for an afternoon news conference with reporters covering the women’s NCAA Final Four championship on Sunday at Target Center, the Gophers basketball coach was instead stuck in New Orleans because of a flight cancellation." This sounds more like situational avoidance to me. Hanging...

Whalen made her the face of the Gophers and she used it to increase her own value and move up in the BIG10. Well played.

Scalia was Whalen's first recruit, and that has bonded the two. Scalia, then at Stillwater High School, was the first player Whalen called after being hired to be Gophers coach in April 2018. Whalen, new to the recruiting game, distinctly remembers the call. "We probably said two words,''...

Geno needs to stay in his lane.

This is delusional. The two players that were definitely not team players - Powell and Scalia. Whalen supported them and their selfish ways and it is one of the many reasons she is not fit to be a coach. Both should have been sat many times. but Whalen catered to their needs so they would not leave.

"Peter Scalia said there were times when Sara, well-known for her work ethic in the gym, was looking for teammates with the same commitment." We discovered the underlying issue. Sara was more committed to winning than her teammates.
