Probably pretty similar to the wish list of 340 or so other teams ... 

In recent years IU Ladies sure haven’t won with rebounding and defense that is heavily emphasized with unimpressive results.

Fort Myers schedule.

For old farts like me, "state" in the previous Fort Meyers Tip-Off post is Mississippi State.  "GT" is Georgia Tech.
Ion is television channel 63 for those of us who still have antennas.
In other words, it's FREE!

That puts this tournament in the excellent category.

Hey buddy.  When you use my name, It's a capital 'O' and a capital 'F'.  Damn kids today have no respect for their elders.

Alisa Williams. Veteran forward that will be in the rotation.

I'm 78.  Are you SURE you're older than me? (:

Alisa Williams averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game at Iowa State.  Granted, it was pretty hard to score with Addy Crooks in the lineup.

At the very least we’re both old!

CTM's father passed. 

RIP, Mr. Moren. He sure loved watching Teri coach her team. 

Prayers to the Moren family.

Son of Mr. And Mrs. Smith.

Full first name “Samuel.”

Yes- pretty young.

Did anyone get an impression from this summer's workouts as to who might be a backup to Z next year? (and, given Z's injury history, it could morph into serious PT).  You've got Sydney Fenn, Zoe Jackson, Ashlyn Anderson, Jess Petrie. Does anyone have any feedback on that, as to who is looking good? Is it considered a state secret, and no one is allowed to talk about it at this point? Strange that there is no discussion about it, since it is potentially a critical aspect to success next year.
