As her rehabilitation year? Is playing in Seattle still the expected destination?

Would assume so, and with great rehab facilities. And then if the knee doesn’t respond she’s on her way to another career.

Yes, story says she’ll join the Storm for training camp in ‘25. Best of both worlds

Do we know any of next year's non-conference games yet?

The women are gettin' after it. 

This video is almost kinda annoying, though -- they show everything so fast, you can't get a look at who's doing what. 

Who's the first player shown? I pretty much recognized everyone but her ...

It’s Karoline Striplin the Tennessee transfer. She’s big. Saw her at Dicks Sporting Goods the other day in Bloomington. Really, really tall.

Listed at 6’ 3” (legs seem strong) interesting ranked 45 position rank at 9 coming out of high school.

Anyone know anything….Are there any updates on IU Ladies strength and conditioning…how is position currently being filled and who is going to permanently fill position?

Don't know where the event was held but what a gesture for Neveah Caffey's future teammates to make the effort to come watch her play.

How could you not like how this women’s program is built.

Before she comes (if she does), she'll need to learn that it's Indiana University! 

Will be a sophomore this year.

Also has offers from among others -- Tennessee, SMU, Marquette, DePaul, Auburn, Louisville.

Battle 4 Atlantis field includes Ball State, Baylor, Columbia, North Carolina, Southern Miss, Texas A&M and Villanova. Hopefully we can pick up a few tough games there because outside of Stanford, the rest of this schedule looks pretty light.

UNC is regularly ranked Top 20. 

So the men and women play in Atlantis? That's pretty cool.
