So all three UConn eligibles got drafted. Geno will use that when he recruits.

She scored 29 points against Ohio State in her first game this season. That was the only ranked team Cleveland State played.

Yeah, it's "agent speak." It probably means she has an offer from Villanova and assistants at the other schools took his/her phone call.

Maybe not a great plan to rely too heavily on pre-season rankings. The #8 team a year ago was Iowa State. The year before it was Virginia Tech. The year before that the #8 team was Iowa State again and they wound up #17 that year. The #5 team was Tennessee, and they wound up #24.

On a positive note, nearly every LV improved their shooting percentages under Kim's system, at least slightly, from their prior year. Probably because the system gives them more open shots. That would bode well for any player she adds.

Only 30% from beyond the three-point line.

Sometimes good things can come to those who wait.

It made the evening news in Nashville tonight that Nico may be looking for about $4 million for the coming year. If they give him that, how much more do they have to give some of the other players? You could put a really good WBB team together for less than $4 million. I'm no expert on NIL...

That might be the case, I have no inside info. But I'll wait until we find out where she winds up before I'll accept that conclusion.

Moore probably doesn't want to be the #3 scoring option in her final year when she could be the #2 or #1 option on another offense-minded team. She's already proven herself in the SEC and now wants some gaudy stats to get a shot at a WNBA roster.

Here's a point about playing time. It's often pointed out that UConn, being in the Big East, plays a very easy schedule compared to teams in the top four conferences. But that doesn't seem to hurt them in March and April when they seem to hit their stride. The advantage for UConn in recruiting...

Schools mentioned for Kneepkins include: Minnesota, Kentucky, UConn, Iowa, Notre Dame, Texas. But I suspect she could go wherever she wants.

Technically, Chen was not a transfer. Players at Ivy League schools are not permitted to be on athletic teams once they graduate, even if they have NCAA eligibility remaining. Chen graduated and would not have been able to play for Princeton even if she and the team had wanted it. I believe she...

There's no proof that any players or prospects are reluctant to commit to Tennessee because of Kim's system. But there's no proof that some aren't. And there's not likely to be any “proof” or “source” for either argument outside of the usual “someone told me that someone said” nonsense...

Dudley, Cain, and Socka-Nguemen were all Top 30 recruits. Dudley and Socka-Nguemen were McDonald's All Americans and Socka-Nguemen did indeed have an offer from Tennessee. None got the playing time they were expecting this year. Socka-Nguemen had a pre-season injury, missed the early...
