She roasted Michael Che (who is notorious for being terrible towards women’s sports at every turn). It was glorious! Here’s the link!

Where does your fandom come from? Are you an alum, did you grow up in the region, did you just like the vibes? Are you a former hooper with a connection to a player or coach? Does your son’s third grade teacher’s daughter play for Chattanooga? Maybe you’re a bandwagon fan, who cares?!

It doesn’t really matter why you claim them, but rep your set and tell us why! I’m extra interested in the double flairs!

Figured it’d be a good day for a fun thread like this since there’s a lot of games today. Inspired by a similar thread in r/CollegeBasketball.

1x 2nd pick 2x 3rd picks 2x 4th picks 2x 6th picks 1x 7th pick 1x 10th pick 2x 11th picks 1x 26th pick

Why was Caitlin looking at her like that in the 3rd slide😂

Nika is the only player in the country this season to reach these numbers:

6.5 Assists per game

40% from 3

2.4 defensive wins shares

Caitlin is my favorite player and Nika was the toughest defensive challenge she faced twice in 4 years.

I wonder what type of player this could translate too at the next level. Great on ball defender, extremely high motor, can knock down a 3, and one of the best passers in the game. I assume she will be limited because of her inability to create her own shot off the dribble. She fits the mold of a 3 and D player but the passing ability makes her stand above that.

I expect an early 3rd round pick is possible for her and would think she will work her tail off to get on a roster.

Can’t wait for the draft next week!

Reese, Brink, and Cardoso all won championships with their teams during college, and Bueckers still has a good chance next year with UConn. Clark is the only one who did not win one during college. I know Clark said she wouldn't sulk over never winning a college championship–which is a great attitude to have–but I look at this list and it underscores for me what a gutsy decision she made to go to Iowa.

Considering how NCAA WBB deprived we are currently, here's the ESPN preseason poll first look.

https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39882544/womens-college-basketball-way-too-early-top-25-2024-25-poll

Before the rise of Caitlin Clark/Angel Reese and the top freshman class of this season Paige was the top girl of women college basketball. Unfortunately she had big knee injuries including one who keep her on the sideline last season. This year she's proving that she's still one of the best players but she doesn't have the same coverage than the other top girls

Oregon Ducks are ditching the tree floor

With so many names in the portal and more news dropping every day I thought it would be useful for a lot of us to have an idea who the "interesting" targets are for our teams.

Disclaimers:

This list does not include players who have already committed to a new team.

I've tried to keep it to players that I think some or even most Power 5 teams should have interest in. Obviously teams like SC and UConn won't be interested in most of these players (except the Lucy Olsens and such), but plenty of other teams would.

I left of any low/mid major players if I wasn't familiar with them or hadn't heard from a reliable source that they are legit. So if your favorite player isn't on here, it's either that or I simply disagree with you on how good they are.

With that said, my list:

• Ruby Whitehorn, 5’11, G, Soph. (12.3 ppg, 5.6 rpg)

• Deja Kelly, 5’8, G, Sr. (16.3 ppg, 3.9 rpg, 3.2 apg)

Hello everyone,

The transfer portal has only been open for ~48 hours and almost 500 players have already entered their names. Not only that, but there's been some head coaching changes, including a couple major ones at P5 schools (Kelly Graves, WHEN?!?!?). This can either be a really fun time, or a really scary time, but fear not, gentle reader. To help you keep track of all the chaos, I'm providing links tracking both the transfer portal and the job market.

Some notable entries and storylines to date:

• Clemson: HC Amanda Butler is out and not only are 5 current players in the portal, but their top 15 recruit Imari Berry has decommitted
• Kentucky: Kyra Elzy out as HC and similar story, 5 players in the portal including Maddie Scherr and Ajae Petty
• Arkansas: Freshman phenom Taliah Scott and Saylor Poffenbarger in the portal; landed Izzy Higginbottom, leading scorer from Arkansas St., only 24 hours after she left her former school 👀
• Maybe not surprising: Kateri Poole (LSU), Sahnya Jah (SC), and Kailyn Gilbert (Arizona) have entered their names in the portal. All three players had notably either been dismissed or suspended from the team during the season

I won't add updates to the post bc I don't want to be responsible for deeming who is and isn't "notable" enough to be included, but feel free to use the comments for that
