There are still many big names in the portal and we do not know who CTM and staff are talking with or reached out to. CTM has made it clear that the priorities in a recruit are team and defense first. Players that do not want to commit to this philosophy will not make they cut regardless of how talented the may be on the offensive side of the ball.

Women's program has always been quiet on recruiting whether HS or portal. This is frustrating to us fans for sure.

The demise of the Pac-12 probably had a bit to do with it. These players will be losing significant visibility on the national stage with the program moving to the West Coast Conference.

Either know where they're going or know where they want to go. Some do reach out to a few schools to possibly seek a higher NIL opportunity.

Here is the current snip from wbbblog.com (Raoul's site) showing to me the portal is really out of control with 943 still looking for a place to call home. The grad transfer make sense to me as they are either from an Ivy league school or chasing a better grad program then where they are currently at. Most of the rest will just find themselves sitting the bench at a new school unless they go to a low-end D-1 program or leave D-1 completely.

12th in final Coaches' Poll as well. OSU below us in both polls.

Neat idea.

Finished 12th in the final AP poll today.

She does play for the Brazilian national team and played at Montverde. She may not be able to step right in and contribute but with the right development could be a good pick up.

I do not hold any stock in way to early lists. NC State was not even on the first poll of the season and were in a similar situation as us at this time last year and they made the final four. The transfer portal and the growth of current and incoming freshmen will be the key to getting back in the top 25.

Her are her 2023-24 stats

I get that. Could not find anything about that game. Just thought is was interesting on the LSU reason.

From news article: Mulkey says it was unintentional. She said she didn’t know when the anthem would be played and that the team’s pre-game routine involves leaving the court 12 minutes before tip-off. “Honestly I don’t even know when the anthem was played,” she explained. “We kind of have a routine where we are on the floor then they come off at the 12-minute mark. I don’t know. We come in and we do our pre-game stuff. I’m sorry. Listen, that’s nothing intentionally done.” Not sure about Oklahoma.

Correct but given over 800 in portal, there are opportunities to find pieces. Those pieces may not be what we fans think are the right fit but this is where we have to place our trust in the coaches.

The offseason for Beaumont and Lamendola will be key to get stronger. Also, I expect Ali will be working with Bargesser on her shot all summer to 1) get it in a better position and 2) get the shot off quicker. We need Lexus to be able to score a bit to keep defenses from slacking off from her and clogging up the paint. Meister can be solid in a 1v1 but will need a lot of summer reps with doubles. Overall, excited to see what the future holds with the portal and the team make up. CTM will find a way to make us better.

I caught it. Paraphrased, they were talking about Dawn not taking a timeout during our run then they went on to say that she let them learn from it.

Love the fight! We made them know what IU bball is all about.

Open

She is too much for all bigs in college when she plays hard.

Nice. I was in western Maine growing up but then in Portland area. Been up in the County many times.

Same for me originally but now down in NC. What part of Maine are you from?

I have seen quite a few SC games this year and Fulwiley is a talent for sure.

We need to be the 1985 Villanova squad against Georgetown and shoot 79% from the field.
