Computer-based preseason ratings are about as meaningful as preseason polls. This is from a page on the Massey site (emphasis added): So it's pretty clear why UConn would be #1 and by a wide margin.

Boykin transfers to Penn State. http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/012216aab.html

The D-I record is 3. See page 24 of the NCAA record book (http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/w_basketball_RB/2016/D1.pdf).

Tyasha Harris dropped OSU from her list. Her finalists are Iowa, Kentucky, Purdue, Rutgers, and South Carolina.

The Gamecocks are also still after several other 2016 players, including Jensen Caretti and Tyasha Harris, both of whom are taking official visits to South Carolina this weekend. Kornelia Wright, another uncommitted top 100 player, visited them earlier this week (Wright is visiting Florida this...

Madison McCoy (Tori's sister) received an offer from Marquette back in August, but there's been no word on a commitment to anyone since then.

UK beat writer, who got it straight from the Wildcats:

I think you're overstating things a bit with the comparison to SEC football–style oversigning. Walton is actually a RS junior this year, and she already has a bachelor's degree from Louisville and is now working on a master's. There would nothing untoward with Walz at the end of the 2015-16...

UConn and Baylor will be the last two schools Cox officially visits, but Notre Dame and Tennessee are still among her finalists.

I think Lewis's commitment to OSU has more of an impact on Tyasha Harris than Caretti. You can pretty much cross OSU off Harris's list.

Johnson's finalists were Louisville, ND, Texas, and Texas A&M. See http://www.scout.com/college/louisville/story/1598611-walz-scores-another-top-20-commitment Two Louisville beat writers confirm what mtsuraider06 says—Louisville is done with 2016. No Cox and no Jensen Caretti either. Caretti...

No need to apologize; I was just setting the record straight. No one can keep track of all the transfers; there have been too many of them. And FWIW, I'm not a Maryland fan (not that there's anything wrong with that).

There were many teams that lost multiple players, but Maryland wasn't among them, unless Lexie Brown is so good she counts for more than one.

So Ionescu changed her visit date? It was reported just last week that she'd visit Texas the weekend of October 2. Also, does that scholarship count take into account the addition of the 2nd Caron-Gourdreau twin next season?

I think you have the Brown info backward. If her visit to Louisville was canceled, it was almost certainly canceled by the school, not her. Demling stated the day that Jones committed that Brown was off Louisville's board and her visit was off. The very next day, her final four was released...

Yes, I mentioned Demling earlier in this thread, so obviously he's the beat writer I was referring to.

Hey, that looks familiar. Always love it when people copy my tweets and strip my name out. Anyway, there's conflicting info on whether Louisville is still recruiting Brown. One of their beat writers reported that her official visit was canceled after the 2 commits yesterday and she's off their...

I wasn't saying they weren't still recruiting any 2016s, just that I doubt they land any more. Demling has said that Walz and an assistant are in Texas today meeting with both Cox and Ciera Johnson and their families. He also indicates that Chou is off their board. I don't know if they're still...

I doubt they get either Johnson or Cox, but they're likely to get another post commit (Bionca Dunham) in about an hour. That might wrap up their 2016 class.

OK. Fair enough. But I thought "Molly who?" was just the initial reaction and then people came around later.

Sounds similar to what a Louisville fan might say about a player like, say, Molly Bent.

A month later, a definite answer: Yes, UConn is off her list (or vice versa). A bit of a surprise not to see Michigan State on her list, with her sister starting there this fall, but the Spartans already have a point guard committed for 2016.

It actually looks like it'll be a they said, he said thing. The Washington Post article says there's a second alleged victim whose allegations are being investigated as a felony (the current charge is a misdemeanor). Maryland indefinitely suspended McKey last evening.

The only real "list" I've seen from her was from last summer and that one (which was supposedly her finalists) had UConn on it. As recently as March there was an article saying she had a UConn offer (which some dispute). But if she had a list of finalists, that didn't stop her from visiting...

And almost all of that recruiting info was posted by someone else on Twitter, which he then copies and retweets without attributing the source. In the case of Tori McCoy, he probably assumed an offer was made based on the home visit, using "proverbial" to hedge his bets. That recent...

Aisha Edwards, espnW's #54 player in the 2014 class, won't be returning to Miami and has signed with Chipola College (juco national champs in 2015). She sat out her freshman year after suffering a torn ACL during a preseason Hurricane practice.

All the players involved in the lawsuit had already left the team before these allegations arose. I agree with you that the allegations do seem cut and dry. But White's father has specifically denied the alleged segregated hotel rooms. I believe he said the room assignments were made at random...

Have there been any current players (or family members) who have spoken out against Bollant et al.? I haven't seen that. White (or really her father) has gone on the record opposing her former teammates, but not current ones. So I'm not sure I'd agree that she's gone either way. I think if...

I think you have a bad link there. Try this: http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/07/us/illinois-athletics-allegations/index.html There's nothing new in the report concerning the women's basketball allegations. But not a great development for Bollant (or the Illinois AD) for the story to get this kind...

The Chicago Tribune has a much more detailed article outlining the allegations in the lawsuit. And it includes a link to the full lawsuit. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-illinois-basketball-lawsuit-20150701-story.html Regarding Bollant's recruiting, he hasn't signed or gotten...

He's been a D-I coach for a while, and I've seen some allegations of abuse from his days at Green Bay. But former Illini Karisma Penn is quoted in another article from today saying things got much worse over the last two years, after the single year she played under Bollant (he's been at...

It's hardly a rush to judgment when these allegations have circulated now for months and when you have seven players willing to file suit backing those allegations. If it were just one player, I'd be much more skeptical. Of course, innocent until proven guilty, but still... EDIT: I should note...

The allegations have now escalated into a lawsuit filed by seven former players: "Seven former Illini women’s basketball players have sued the University of Illinois, alleging coach Matt Bollant and former assistant Mike Divilbiss created a racially hostile environment in violation of the...

I assume you're talking about Xylina McDaniel? UNC played 35 games, but the 3 NCAA tournament games don't figure into the calculation, and the ACC tournament counts as 1 game. So that's 31. 12 out of 31 amounts to 38.7%, which is over the 30% limit for a medical redshirt, making her ineligible...

The Michigan job has not yet been filled permanently. He may not need a consolation prize, if there's any truth to the rumor currently going around.
