I probably think Reese is a better player than Key but it's not a huge difference.

Cooke obviously is a guard. I think she should have a bounce back performance but it's fair to say that last season was a struggle all year after she was hurt early on.
 
I picked Oregon for 2nd in the Pac 12 contest but I am stepping back from that in light of losing Sedona. Now like AZ and Utah a little more. Ducks still have the talent and SOS to get a reasonably high bid to the tourney unless hit with injury bug and limited roster.

I love Zia but fact of the matter she is yet to shoot above 40% from the field in a college season.

She can make big shots in big games so most fans are willing to live with her streakiness. I think she will have her most efficient season yet. It’s not for lack of work ethic or anything of the sort; I think injuries and adverse shot selection have affected her.

I admire her ability to always show up in big games.. but consistency would go a LONG way for her when it comes to awards season. She’s a very talented guard.
 
Wouldn't say this is WBB news but I can hardly contain my excitement that the Mississippi State AD is heading to Auburn to wreck their department (half joking). Ironic because Cohen is who hired NMP over Johnnie Harris for the job that basically ruined everything Vic built and now Harris is the coach at his new school.

I've hated the Cohen hire since it was made and hopefully MSU makes a better decision this go around.

And continuing the list - Lauren Ware out for the season at Arizona. It is a continuation of the knee issue from last year, which recurred after bumping knees in practice. I'm not sure if it was the only option, based on way it was written, but she has chosen to have season ending surgery.

Probably the best choice since it seems to be an ongoing (kneecap related) issue.

I'm sure this will provide some more playing time for our highly touted freshmen.

Cate Reese suffered a concussion in the 2nd exhibition game (her head hit the court) so that could be more concerning. However, Arizona doesn't open the season till Thursday so, if things go the good way, she may be back.
 
Baylor's Dre'Una Edwards

We expect Bickle back within the next few weeks, it’s going to be a couple of weeks for sure, maybe even three,” said Collen. “Ericka is a little day-to-day and we’re looking at as early as a week, as long as two weeks potentially. Dre’Una is an eligibility situation.”

I know there's only so much they can say publicly, but it would be interesting to know if the eligibility situation is related to Edwards using the transfer portal once already. How this rule works for those to transfer a second time still seems unclear to me. Hopefully it gets resolved in her favour soon.

I think she sat out a year when she first transferred to Kentucky but maybe I’m mistaken. If she did sit out, I don’t think she’d have to this year.

Edwards didn’t sit out a year. But I thought that rule was dead?

I thought so too (with respect to both comments) as I recall there have been different interpretations.

@SCGamecock Which rule are you referring to? I'm not exactly sure if the unlimited transfers was approved. Per this article from August, it may not be however I've given up trying to keep track of the changes.

"While the unlimited transfer rule was declined, the board created a more flexible process for athletes to apply for immediate eligibility waivers outside of the one-time transfer rule with considerations given to athlete welfare and well-being. "

She did redshirt that 2019-2020 season at Kentucky. So she theoretically shouldn't be punished for transferring a 2nd time, but it's the NCAA who are notoriously illogical with their decision making.
 
Taylor Mikesell has transferred twice without having to sit out any years. I don't know why Edwards is having an eligibility issue unless it has something to do with grades.

I think the poster was talking about after she transferred to Baylor. She didn’t sit out for a year as the rule used to require.

I have no idea what the official transfer rule is now. I can recall them allowing transfer with immediate eligibility during the pandemic, but was that just a one time thing or is it permanent? I don’t even think the NCAA knows lol

I know there have been players who have transferred more than once and played . Not sure how that works.
 
I'm pretty sure Elzy suspended Edwards for academic reasons twice while at Kentucky but I'm still thinking she eventually gets approved to play at some point.

I was also thinking that it must be academic-related. But, if she spent one year at Utah, and 3 years at Kentucky, I just assumed she received her undergraduate degree from Kentucky before leaving for Baylor; I didn't pay attention if she grad-transferred to Baylor.

If she arrived at Baylor for the summer session(s), those grades/credits would have been solidified in late August. So, the Fall semester starts, and it's more than half completed; but, "grades" aren't solidified until mid December.

So, I'm definitely confused on her situation.
 
If you listen to this interview with Collen starting at the 22 minute mark, the host indicates/speculates December 18 as the earliest Dre'Una Edwards could play. Makes me wonder if she's already been ruled ineligible for the entire Fall semester, and can't play until final exams have concluded at Baylor.
