Is 19th best in the country, sez ESPN https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/46920873/womens-college-basketball-recruiting-ranking-schools-class-2026

More locker room fodder. Included: most of the usual suspects plus a headscratcher or two (I guess McGuff's DUI and accompanying viral video don't matter?). Not included: Plitzuweit...

There's a player on the Scarlet Knights' roster named Precious Gem but wins for the team have been more like rare gems. Their lone conference victory was eked out over Penn State three weeks ago (76-72), undoubtedly fueled by the chance to stick it to the player who (when she wasn't benched) led...

I don't think we have a predict-the-team's final record, probably because nobody knew how optimistic to be. I initially thought they'd go 7-11 in conference but I'm now thinking 10-8. Which I think would be 20-9. Anyone else?

Charlie Creme has the Gophers in the "first four out" https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/30423107/ncaa-women-bracketology-2024-women-college-basketball-projections

It's great to see the team will have a Pride Night but it seems pretty rich when the signage at the Barn indicates they're taking money from the American Experiment conservative "think tank," Cambria and Chick Fil-A, all of which are deeply problematic in that regard.

Brainerd's Addison and Lakeville South's Kaelynn Bjorkland tweeted they were on unofficial visits at the Lehigh nailbiter.

Yes, the Gophers have made an offer to a player (Chloe Spreen) who, gulp, has not yet started high school. She's a 5-9 shooting guard from Indiana, who also has an offer from Michigan State. https://www.captainu.com/Basketball/2024/ChloeSpreen

Seems like a vote of confidence? http://www.startribune.com/lindsay-whalen-receives-one-year-contract-extension/567887802/

Raoul sez Chaska's 6-1 forward Mallory Heyer, who also plays for Minnesota Fury, has an offer from the Gophers. (Yes, that means she's a freshman.)

It was fun to see the team in (sorta) action. Staples is definitely a shooter, didn't take great care of the ball today, though. Pitts looks fantastic and, like several of the players, looks fitter than last season. Not to sound like a broken record but not only was Gadiva Hubbard not on the...

Pretty much as expected: OSU over NE MD over IL MI over PSU MN over NW (handily) IA over WI (not so handily) RU over PU MSU over IN (Buss shot 18%) Watching a bit of the OSU game made me think: I hope Coach Kelsey Mitchell's Dad has started lining up his next gig.

This is the first commitment in the class, right? Raoul is reporting that Delaynie Byrne, a 6-2 forward from Colorado's Ralston Valley High School has committed. She has also tweeted it, and retweeted several other tweets about it, including Stollings' Boom tweet.

PSU, having lost some key players to transfers, releases its non-conference schedule. It is not impressive: http://www.centredaily.com/sports/college/penn-state-university/psu-basketball/article157985039.html (Also, a procedural question that's offtopic: Does anyone have luck with the search...

The former Gopher assistant/associate is now a head coach in New Coloradoo, by way of Indiana http://www.chieftain.com/sports/college/curtis-loyd-named-csu-pueblo-women-s-basketball-coach/article_23ca7907-e343-566d-952f-7e513629ef14.html (corrected)

In case there's any doubt, the Gophers are not in it http://www.womensbasketballinvitational.com/landing/index

I agree with those who doubt the trigger will be pulled because the buyout is so expensive but the thing is: Is there any chance next year will be better? Sure, Pitts -- as the Barn monitors have been telling us all season long -- is a baller. She is also, it seems, the ONLY recruit in the next...

The Badgers made a grand total of six baskets in the first half. Score sits at 43-14.

They gave her dad a job and now Carr has committed to Kansas State http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/18261413/elite-junior-prospect-christianna-carr-join-dad-chris-carr-kansas-state-women-basketball?addata=espnw:womenbb:index

Nothing hugely surprising in this precis but there is a smidge more detail about the much-speculated-about exodus: http://www.startribune.com/pam-bortons-new-book-details-tubby-firing-teague-dysfunction/389765001/
