Bernadette Devaney also has connections to Lehigh.
They have spoken with and expressed interest in both Hottinger and Kramer from LeHigh.
Didn’t someone mention those names earlier in the year as some proven vets with experience …

From what I understand, the only one they have lost is Dominika Paurova. I saw a twitter announcement from her high school team that MN had granted her release from her NLI and she had reopened her recruitment.

Madol must be super talented player to be a top 24 player in Canada for under 18. Looking forward to seeing her play this fall for the Gophers.Video clip interview of Ajok Madol playing at the Biosteel All-Canadian Basketball Game. She's from Archbishop M.C O'Neill Catholic High School in Canada.
Interviewer: You have a team high 11 points. What's cookin' for you?
Madol: Everything's flowing pretty well. I'm playing with a lot of confidence this year. I think that's what's going on.
Interviewer: You're here with all these Canadian women, some of the best in Canada. How does it feel to be playing with these women?
Madol: It's an honor to be named top-24 in Canada. It's always been a dream of mine since I started taking basketball seriously, beginning of high school, so it's always an honor being here.

2023 BioSteel All Canadian Basketball Games Girls Roster
It's hard to know much about the level of competition. From what we've heard before, she seems to have a great sense of leadership and character, and she's still a bit new to basketball. She may need some time and coaching and then could be a terrific surprise, wild guess.
Sky Smith on Twitter praised three players by name and Madol was one of them.
I did see something on another site that suggested that Wilke is coming to Minnesota from Wisconsin.
Maty Wilke
I would think it wouldn't be a huge surprise as I believe Maty Wilke played with Mara Braun on the North Tartan AAU team. I saw a post that they were both seen together at a North Tartan practice two weekends ago. So, I would assume they are talking. Not to mention, there would be that instant chemistry between the two having played together.
Funny because this is how I feel personally about all the transfers. Would I love Donarski…yes, but I have thought it was a reach.
I think I read someone post on the Wisconsin message board that Marquette is also in the running for Maty. I wonder if Coach Duffy is still being pursued by any other schools.
I heard the same, maybe the uncertainty with Duffy will deter transfers. She is mentioned for every opening around the country
Can’t wait to see her play in a Gopher uniform
Go Gophers!
Can we pass the hat, and come up with the some NIL money for Wilke and the current Gophers. I'm ready to kick in a check, I don't trust DT athletes but if the Women's WBB has a collective I will send something. I would be more comfortable donating to the booster club for NIL for WBB than doing anything with outside entity. I want to ensure that money will be used for WBB players.
