    Let the Carousel begin!

    From afar, I am not sure that given what Tennessee has settled into as a program that Williams was recruiting the type of recruits that really wanted to go to Tennessee vs. those that just wanted their name listed. Part of the recruiters job is to understand who the staff will relate to, how...

    Players Entering Transfer Portal, As of March 2024

    …but having a forum talking about them is perfectly acceptable? It’s called Social Media for a reason…it’s ok for you not to use or like it but it is also ok for others to use it.

    Tara Vanderveer Retires (merged)

    OMG, just like the annoying PAC12 announcers, the hubris that Stanford and the network shows by stating “GOAT” is astounding. She CURRENTLY has the most wins so if you want to state “Winningest” Coach of all time fine but under NO CIRCUMSTANCES is she the GOAT. In the pantheon of WCBB she...

    Amari in Transfer Portal

    There, I fixed it for you. Good luck Amari in the next chapter of your life. I know that every time I hear your name, I smile for the joy you shared with your team mates and the NIL tv commercial you had.

    Ines in the transfer portal

    Honestly, I hope not. With Paige and KK on the roster, I want the ball in Paige’s hands as much as possible to make the passes or to shoot the ball. This past year she did not have the ball in her hands enough, deferring to Nika who was solely a pass first, pass second and reluctantly shoot an...

    Portal Shopping List

    My question is similar to the HS recruits of interest, will we hear if UConn has contacted any? As a subtle (or NOT so subtle reminder to my peers) we have Paige for 1 more year. Bringing in more Freshmen is not logical with an eye for a 12th championship. We need experienced players against...

    Portal Shopping List

    My understanding is to qualify for play at the start of 2024-25 season you must enter by May 1. You can enter at any time before the next semester but no guarantee to be granted ability to play at the start of the season.

    Question about the new P4

    Big 10 will have 18 schools (add Oregon, Washingto, USC, UCLA) Big12 will have 16 schools (add Arizona, ASU, Colorado, Utah; lose Texas, Oklahoma) SEC will have 16 schools (add Texas and Oklahoma) ACC will have 18 schools (add Stanford, Cal and SMU) However the 69 P5 schools decre by one to 68...

    I and she rebounds at 7 a game for a non starter! She’s everything we can only hope Ice can become as a shooter but ALREADY IS. Until Beers declares, she’s my #1 portal focus. If and when Beers enters make it a double order of Beavers for me!

    Players Entering Transfer Portal, As of March 2024

    It really doesn't address the issue on why KK entered the portal as your "insider" wording led us to believe. She averaged 25 min per game for 2 years and her points per game dropped this year from her freshman year. Other than that, it doesn't tell us anything we already didn't know-so much for...

    Not sure where to post this but I saw on a Raoul tweet that Charmin Smith has signed a 3 year extension at Cal as they move to the ACC. Not necessarily a “Carousel“ update but a job some of us were curious about, I am still dubious on her after 5 years to warrant 3 more but….

    Players Entering Transfer Portal, As of March 2024

    None of the players in the portal were getting minutes. The most comical is Deion’s daughter who was a walkon at JSU (and not getting any time at all) and when her Dad for the job at Colorado in Jan 2023, quit the team to get ready for Colorado. Curious enough, I think the Buffs had 17 players...

    Sarah Strong announcing tomorrow 4/6 at 11:00 am on ESPN

    So much like Vizzini in the Princess Bride, my head is swirling with wildly conflicting conjecture. To wit: "Why would she choose Carolina when Coach Banghart has been there 5 years already and really hasn't elevated the program or shown strong player development and frankly just rubs people the...

    Hey @Rooster C. I know you seem a bit down on this pick as it doesn't seem like an "up and comer" type but remember back in 2013 that NC State fired Kelly Harper and hired 55 year old Wes Moore who has been nothing short of remarkable. I am not saying that Tricia could replicate what Wes has...

    2024 Final Four Referees announced

    Game is already sold out, now the price on the secondary market might take a hit if Iowa is eliminated but the NCAA and venue already locked in their revenue. The rest of the world knows it has been 8 years since UConn last won, don't underestimate the anti-SC crowd.

    Portal Thoughts Anyone?

    Huh? Dorka was 6'5" and played in the post on defense against the other teams big. Sarah at 6'2" is simply not going to be able to do that. On offense, Dorka herself complained to Geno about how she was being used/misused and the UConn system uses a "high post" set up with the big or bigs at the...

    Portal Thoughts Anyone?

    I fear on the breaching of speculation but two interesting items that have hit the news cycle was 1. Scott Rueck job speculation 2. Raegan Beers portal speculation. Without a doubt, the top big available would be Raegan if she entered the portal, plus she would have 2 years of eligibility and...

    Ok, for my two cents on Hailey Van Lith for @LwrcasefaN and @Geew1992, her shooting stats have been trending down since her freshman year at Louisville. Simply stated, she is not a good percentage shooter anywhere on the floor except at the free throw line. She went to LSU to try to become a "point Guard"...

    WBIT - Villanova still in it (Go Lucy!)

    Here is your initial claim: In your claim, in 2021-22 Toledo won the MAC regular season with 19-1 Conference record (29-6) but lost the conference Tournament to Buffalo. Toledo had the best NET of the MAC teams at #69. Their SoS was #136 and their only win over sub 100 ranked team was Buffalo...

    We need to think bigger and better. I am just waiting for a West Coast school who doesn't have P4 conference next year and what their big player might do. If that player is available, UConn needs to make a hard push, if not then Karlin is strong "maybe".
