This week Dribble Drive covers Oregon with Coach Graves.

This was a good watch. Really insightful host. I'm not that high on Oregon this year. They lost a lot due to graduation. But I do like Kelly Graves. He kinda is a straight shooter. I feel like if this was the men's side or maybe the NBA he'd get into a bit of trouble with his openness lol. He kinda said they woulda beat duke if not for injury last year.

Agree. Wasn’t familiar with Graves’ personality/media persona before he joined the BIG, but after watching him at BIG media day last year, he instantly became a favorite. I’d rate Graves and Katie Gearlds as the top 2 BIG coaches in terms of likability and candor. Would love to have a beer with them.

Graves seems like a good guy. He also has seemed to be a great recruiter over the years. I’m less impressed with him as a coach. But he has supplied a lot of talent to other teams.
 


@nwhoopfan, Coach Langley has got to be pretty excited to see how Howell has been performing this summer. I was in Toronto to see this game live. Wish there was a box score because her shooting from 3 seemed perfect last night. Made a lot of smart decisions and wasn't afraid to battle for rebounds and loose balls.

This really gives one some perspective on the magnitude of the loss to USC Howell's departure represents.

Duke played without it's leading scorer that day.

As a Purdue fan, it's unfortunate the position she was thrust in at Purdue. I think had she went the route of being an assistant for a few years or a head mid major coach, she would have had more success at Purdue.

Purdue is a cautionary tale for IU and Iowa. For approximately 20 years (1990-2010), Purdue was the premier BIG team, but Versyp’s cratering put Purdue in a hole from which it is struggling to escape. The simultaneous rise of IU has added to Purdue’s difficulties. I am not optimistic about Gearld’s prospects, but I am a fan of Gearlds the person.

Idk how I feel about these exhibitions. I guess the closed scrimmages were happening anyways. It's probably a good experience to have freshman under the lights as much as possible. But I know there is a financial component involved, which for some odd reason has me a bit jaded ( I think I've listened to some Geno rants on the influx of these exhibition games, also the nil stuff has me a bit jaded as well). And I'd be happier if some of these matchups happened in the regular season lol.
 


I'm not sure what this post represents. I got excited thinking teams are back at practice but that's way to early. In any event, that's a super talented group in the pic, and a lot of size. Check out the freshman Lena Belic.

Terps OOC exhibition schedule is better than their regular season one.
