You have to wonder if some of these guys might be moving on simply because of the uncertainty that there will even be college basketball to play in the Fall. I know projections have looked more favorable and it sounds sort of improbable right now, but I’ve seen scenarios discussed that question whether we will see sports until 2021. Not debating that one way or another, but if you’re a college kid and there’s a possibility you’re going to stick around just to practice for about 6-8 months and maybe play a partial season of college hoops, it might be worth going undrafted or late 2nd round. The NBA has more on the line financially and a greater incentive to get play started than colleges and universities which might be more inclined to delay things a little longer erring on the safe side. Just a thought. Might be a factor for a Garza or Cockburn to be done.

According to the ESPN article, she put up 41 points against Penn State last year. Seems like we can probably find some room for her on the court. Remember at the end of last year how much our depth became an issue and the team just looked gassed and was having trouble closing out games? This type of player keeps the pedal on the gas when first subs come in while letting Ali P and Grace B keep their legs fresh to finish games.

Wow. Strong pickup based on the articles. Averaged 20 pts/game while only playing an average of 21 minutes/game because they were blowing teams out. Dang. Pretty cool that she committed without even visiting campus. Means she must be really bought into this coaching staff. Does anybody know why she’s ranked in her class? Assuming she’s about a four-star recruit based on stats and being a finalist for state’s Miss Basketball.

Cal is bringing in a six-man recruiting class in 2020. Three 5-stars and three 4-stars. Two of the recruits play KB’s position and are the number 3 and 5 PF’s in the class, respectively. I think playtime will be about the same as last year if he stays at UK.

Still think there’s activity under the surface here. This is dad telling a local media outlet what they need to hear. Know this decision isn’t mutual between players and parent. Will be interested to see if a transfer out presents an opportunity that maybe they’re monitoring but doesn’t exist right now with the cream and crimson. Wouldn’t call this dead in the water yet.

This doesn’t change anything regarding Kaufman. We’re in VERY good shape still. Be patient.

Agree that Holmes was likely to get the bigger chunk of the minutes, but still we only go about 6-7 deep so she would have had a chance to play her way into a bigger role. By her junior and senior year she would have been a veteran starter we need to have to build continuity and keep the momentum in the program. This is a bummer. Moren REALLY needs to make some waves in the grad transfer market and with her next two recruiting classes. Because once Patberg, Berger, Patterson and Gulbe leave over the next two years we have lost several of our young recruits this season that would have assumed the mantle and kept things rolling. It’s starting to get a little tight on the depth chart.

Most likely harmless. But this day and age, just reads weird to hear a kid quoted saying, “I’m also looking to do what’s best for my family, what’s going to help out my family the best as well.” Probably didn’t mean it that way, but almost cringe worthy based on the assumed dealings of many programs theses days.

Source?

Seems like it could be a very nice piece to add to the team if Moren likes her. Averaged 28 pts, 11 reb and 5 assists a game as a senior for Auburn HS. Auburn is pretty far up in the Northeast of the state, so “staying closer to home” puts Purdue, Northwestern, Notre Dame and even Mich. St. in the vicinity just as much as Bloomington.

Berger is gonna be a stud for another two years. Sweet stroke and mid-range game.

Yikes. Yeah, Minny is gonna struggle next year. You almost have to feel for little Pitino a bit. Guy’s seat has been hot for about five years. It’s hard enough to convince talent to come play for a non-brand-name program up there in ice-cold Minnesota winters. He’s had guys leave early on him consistently it seems. Tough to establish any momentum for the program when that happens. Despite his relation to a total sleeze bag, by all accounts and watching his interviews Richard actually seems like a pretty decent guy.

If Livers stays in the draft Michigan is gonna take a step back next year. And yes, I know they have a great glass coming in. But losing those three guys who played a big part on the team this year will have an impact with fewer veterans with experience in Coach Howard’s system to get those frosh integrated and rolling.

Has Okuro (sp?) announced he’s leaving Minny yet?

Has this been announced? That he is coming back.

That’s awesome! Love the momentum the program has built and seems primed to maintain. Are any of the players on that list uncommitted and targets of ours?

Do we have any commitments on that list?

He was never leaning Purdue. Not at any point.

Finally some good news this offseason for the football team. Seems like most of the movement on the squad and staff has been outgoing. Hopefully the offense can get things sorted for next year, because it seems like our defense may finally be ready to compete at a high level.

Moren, get to work. It would seem we need two off of this list right?

Still in good shape here.

I think the story here that stands out to me is the ability of Holtmann to execute a contingency plan effectively. If Gaffney leaves, that’s losing two Top 60 guys in the same class, but he goes out and gets the top grad transfer available and they remain a Top 15 team nationally for next year. That’s something that IU has not been able to do historically with much success, is leverage the transfer market. Transfers happen in today’s game. It’s how you react to them that keeps your program humming.

Wowwww. That’s really bad for Wade. His own voice. If he keeps his job it really is shame on you LSU.
