No news is good news?

It seems to be happening in other threads also.

Another transfer made immediately eligible

Is Tennessee trying to be like Oregon st? How many post players do they need?

BREAKING: Louisville women's basketball team lands a commitment from Japanese star Norika Konna. She's the third commitment in the '19 class.

Hayes made her choice! If they get Rellah Boothe too.....

 

[DaBball]

I was a little surprised she took the visit to Kentucky in the first place. I was thinking that maybe she wanted to get back to the P5 level. C-USA will get very interesting if they add Boothe. C-USA also has Rice with the Ogwumike sisters and 6'9 Nancy Mulkey. WKU lost two incoming freshman to the SEC, one to Mizzou and one to South Carolina.

C-USA aside, does adding Boothe turn them into any type of threat? What is the furthest those two take them? I think the 2019 Hayes is the lowest ranked of the quad

Everyone wants more playing time but Ekmark NEVER would get it if she remained a Huskie.

I love this immediate eligibility for transfers. Makes it interesting.

contrary to some here, it appears Ohio State isn't going to lose every game this season..........interesting that they play USF just before the UConn game...........that will tell us something............

IUP beat Pitt WBB in their exhibition last year. Lost 2 starters but have added a D1 transfer and I think have 3 on their team. Their PG definitely could play at a lower D1 no doubt. They made it to the D2 FF last season. I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was closer quite honestly

IUP is a reasonable frame of reference. They finished ranked #3 in Division II last year. They also beat Pitt in an exhibition game (but lost 108-40 to ND). They did graduate their top scorer, so not sure if they are quite as good this year but I'd bet they'll probably still be strong in DII.

The Texas women are currently playing West Texas A&M on the Longhorn network. Texas is up 14-11.

At one time basketball was at the top of her list. That is one of the reasons she home schooled her senior year in high school. She spent that year supposedly preparing for UConn basketball, so the story goes.

Game was played Sunday.

Interesting that Jatarie White didn’t start. Charli Collier is going to be so good if she keeps improving. She and Sedona are going to be a force on the frontline when she returns.

 

[Coler]

Rutgers is dealing with quite a few injuries to start the season. Tekia Mack dislocated her elbow, CVS said she’ll be out another 2-3 weeks. KK Sanders got a screw put in her arm recently and will be out 6-8 weeks. Arella Guirantes is under Concussion protocol for the past few weeks and I’m hoping will be back for Tuesday’s season opener. Sierra Calhoun has also been out with an undisclosed injury and CVS doesn’t know when she’ll be back.

With Sanders out, I see Zipporah Broughton getting a lot of PT which isn’t a bad thing. I just really hope Guirantes and Calhoun will be able to play Tuesday.

Collier was really good. Her post game interview was also very business like. Losing out on her will really hurt unless ONO progresses faster than anticipated.

Patterson with only seven minutes in an exhibition game is not a good sign. Maybe she's injured or something

I don't think so. Texas forum was just as upset about that.

I'll tell ya, the international basketball big wigs really went all out to find an exotic destination for the FIBA 3X3 competition next year:

I understand that Mongolia is a basketball hotbed. Basketball is second only to yak racing in the “Land of the Eternal Blue Sky.”

Don't forget eagle hunting. In all seriousness "The Eagle Huntress" is an excellent documentary about a determined young lady and her proud father, well worth a watch. But yeah, hoops, not so sure about that...
