Colin McMahon tweeted that Anderson has 2 years of eligibility.

There may be an opportunity for her to see some minutes this year.

If that happened? I would be shocked. And appalled. And saddened.

Yeah, I think we need to temper our expectations on Anderson.  No indication there was a list of suitors for a girl with 2 years of collegiate experience, albeit, low level experience and could still offer 2-years to a program.  Would love to see her prove me wrong that she's more than a body on the bench during actual games.

She has been playing at a level below American college NAIA.

There are videos on instagram. If you have the time to watch those short clips, you will get reasonable expectations.

That was tongue in cheek: Z is in a boot again. So there will be a hole in the starting lineup, again. If it's "Z in a walking boot again" (which somehow seems unavoidable), who IS going to step in?

And why is IU putting people on the roster when the fan base expresses horror at the idea of that person playing?

From another site, supposedly 6'3" Sydney Fenn is looking very good in practice.  IF she can stay healthy is the big question to me given she's missed 2 complete seasons due to injuries.

Fenn or Zoe Jackson perhaps

All 3 (Fenn, Zoe Jackson, Anderson) are unproven. I HOPE one or all three of them can step in and be effective. But, no evidence for that yet. I thought Ondineme had the tools last year, but she pretty much faded away, and now she is over at Miami of Ohio. Glenn Box said she can be as good as she wants, which I thought was the case last year.

Need some DESIRE here from someone.
