2019-20 NON-Uconn WCBB News

[UConnCat]

Just a terminology nitpick here: It's not a "hardship waiver" that would allow her to play this season. A "medical hardship waiver" is to regain a year of eligibility that was cut short by a season-ending injury.

I'm not sure what the NCAA's precise term for the transfer year waiver is, but I've never heard it called a "hardship waiver."

Muffet repeatedly referred to Shepard’s waiver as a hardship. It’s a carryover from the days when waivers were given for medical hardships, I.e., sick relative so need to be close to home.

 

[Figurehead]

So there it is. Someone here that said it was decided months ago was full of it. If Texas has a disagreement they will respond in kind in regards to treatment. Let wait to see how it plays out.

Very strategic of UO, very sad for Sedona: Oregon women’s basketball awaiting NCAA decision on hardship waiver for Sedona Prince, who felt ‘unsafe’ at Texas during recovery from broken leg

Jeez that sounds brutal, I dont blame her for leaving. Hope she recovers fully and gets eligibility this year.

She kind of threw all the mud on the wall here. For example having her leg tape in cardboard in Mexico after she broke her leg was USA Basketball's fault not Texas. Also if you are on a medication and you are getting sicker why in the world would you wait 5 days without eating. Also don't understand why the 2nd surgery was in New York .

What was the brutal part? Certainly she suffered a devastating injury, which can be described as brutal. The fact that the school didn't send additional trainers and doctors to escort her to doctor's visits? I'm a little unclear on how this rises to the level of "neglecting" her and making her "unsafe."

My heart goes out to anyone who suffers such a difficult injury requiring such protracted rehab, and by all means if she no longer felt comfortable at Texas then she did the right thing in transferring. But the accusations seem a bit unsubstantiated based on what little she has said.

• Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- No. 16 Notre Dame will be without 6-foot-3 junior center Mikayla Vaughn for four to six weeks because of a right knee sprain.

Vaughn was injured Tuesday night during the season-opening win at Fordham.
"It's hard for all of us, especially Mikayla -- she doesn't want to let the team down," coach Muffet McGraw said. "She's a little disappointed right now. She knows how much we need her experience. She was our leader."

Yikes...are they down to 6 scholarship players? How did ND go from 8 straight #1 seeds to this?

I was just writing a note on this, so I'll just add a bit to this bit of news.
This just bites the you-know-what for both Mik and the team. Mik was finally back to full speed after the ACL on her left knee. Man, this person cannot buy a break. As MM said, she was one of the co-captains of the Irish, along with transfer Marta Sniezek.

When she went down in the third quarter of the game, all of us Irish fans in attendance just put our heads down in either disbelief and/or prayer.
Quite candidly, the way things have been going, many expected worse, so all the best to Mik for a steady and fruitful recovery.

Gosh knows the rest of the team needs it...ND is now down to 7 scholarship players (one of whom was a former walk-on awarded a scholly her senior year) and one post: Danielle Cosgrove, who now has to step into the lane. The Irish need it because as game as Sam Brunelle is, she's not a center and it takes away from her all-rounds skills as a forward.

Keep the faith, Irish.....

Yikes...are they down to 6 scholarship players? How did ND go from 8 straight #1 seeds to this?

Since the Final Four in April:
- Jackie Young left a year early to enter the WNBA;
- Danielle Patterson (Indiana) and Jordan Nixon (Texas A&M) transferred.
- Abby Prohaska was sidelined the day before the regular season with blood clots in her lungs. Her return is indeterminate.
- And, now, Mik Vaughn is out for 4 to 6 weeks.

Muffet plucked Marta Sniezek (point guard, Stanford) and Destinee Walker (guard, North Carolina) off the graduate part of the transfer portal and thank the Golden Dome she did, otherwise, double yikes.

Like Geno, MM prefers to keep a scholarship limit below the 15 limit (12 is a number she uses.), but the recent advent of transfers and a focused recruiting strategy that can go boom or bust (in my opinion) has seemingly caught up, augmented by illness and injury.

That said, she's got four verbal commits (Alli Campbell, Al;esia Hayes, Nat Marshall and Maddy Westbeld) and are very much hoping to land Caitlin Clark (and there may be a plan B after that).

Save for senior walk-on Kaite Cole and Sniezek, everyone else is back (if Prohaska is ok). But one would expect MM to go after after a few more folks in 2021, as well.

Nice addition for Ohio State. Perhaps returning home played a factor?

Wow, interrupts the trend of waiver requests being denied lately.

 

[DefenseBB]

Woe woe! You have the audacity to post a photo of Phony Phil on this website after Tenn doesn’t support Evina’s Transfer and the whines about ASU not supporting the Men’s transfer! Not good etiquette

 

[UConnCat]

Miller was awarded the coming home waiver and Shepard was awarded the leaving home waiver.

Those whose transfers have nothing to do with home are out of luck.

Oregon State players won both Pac-12 player of the week (Pivec) and freshman of the week (Jones) honors! Apparently the Pac-12 doesn't recognize performances in exhibition games like ESPNW does (they named Ionescu player of the week). How dare they!!!

Zaay Green out for the season with a torn ACL.

Anyone know why Satou Sabally isn't playing for Oregon? She didn't start and hasn't come in, which makes me worry there's an injury keeping her out?

It was announced awhile ago, but she’s doing like something with the German team.

Uncharacteristic 4-21 from 3 for the ducks at half.

It looks like Giomi might be a contributor for the Ducks this year.

Satou will be returning for the Syracuse game.

She is in Germany for some games with the German national team and will miss three games.

 

[jonson]

Hope so. With Sabally in Germany for the first 3 games, she (and some others) should get a fair amount of court time to show what they can (or can't) do. Moore had 10 assists in this first game, by the way. I think she will more than make up for Cazorla's absence.

I think Daneesha Provo of Utah played the same number of games as Tudor last year (13), so maybe the difference was that Provo also had a short season as a freshman at Clemson before transferring?

Also, I'm wondering if Tudor might have had better luck with her waiver request if she's waited until after this season to apply for it. Especially if she misses a significant chunk at the start of the season while she finishes rehabbing.

Can she reapply for the MHW after this season in view of "limited competition" for a second consecutive season?

Wish Tudor would wait until next year to play and be 100%. Easy for me to say. She is fun to watch.

Tough break for Oregon State, who loses a two-year starter:

Tough break for Oregon State, who loses a two-year starter:

Damn the Beavers can’t seem to catch a break on the injury front lately. Good thing their super Frosh posts are stepping up. This will likely hurt their chances against Oregon and Stanford this year.

Big news for the Big South





After years of playing the tournament games on campus.... the Big South Men's and Women's Tournament is going to a neutral site. Perfect location for them.... 4 NC teams, 4 SC teams, and 3 VA teams make up the conference. Unfortunately for me....... It will be held at the same time as the ACC Women's Tournament.

An important development for West Virginia: I noticed in yesterday's boxscore that Tynice Martin has returned to action. It's always hard to draw conclusion from games against awful competition, but it looks like she and Kysre Gondrezick will be the two stars for WV this year.

They get their first test of the year in Cancún, where they'll play a decent Creighton squad and then likely get rolled by MSU.

I also noticed E Martinez is consistently getting around 10 rebounds a game. That is great production for a freshman.
