I don't care who you are, a team scoring 100+ points in WBB is pretty impressive.

Think Matt Muhlbach asked the question: "Is palming still a thing?". She will get called for that.

Adia going the Tommy Lloyd international route.

She went this route before with mixed success. I feel this is the way she will need to go in the immediate future to have any shot of righting the ship as I would assume the word is out for high ranked domestic recruits and she will not be getting any of them anytime soon.

Well, this didn't age very well, eh?

My comment? Did she land another high profile HS recruit that I missed?

That is a transfer. My comment was specific to High School recruits, sorry if that was not clear. I expect rosters to be filled with lower level recruits, International and transfers looking for playing time. My point is the last few years where we got great recruiting classes only for them all to jump ship in various levels of dissatisfaction with the coach and program that it will take time and be a tough sell to get those high ranked HS recruits in the near future.

I recognize your distinction. Not sure I fully agree, especially since Gilbert's leaving actually improved team performance But, time will tell.

This transfer is "highly ranked", and only one year removed from HS

New transfer - from South Carolina.

Suspended for season for behavior "detrimental to the team"

A 6' 0" Forward

Considering the player issues we've had this makes me a bit nervous...

I cannot fathom what sort of problem occurred that Dawn Staley wouldn’t/couldn’t deal with. I’ll hope for the best…

That would usually scare me too. I know Adia and Dawn are friends... I assume Adia talked to her about the specific issues?

Adia has had success with transfers with "baggage" (e.g., Baptiste), and we know she demands compliance. I'm confident she can handle this one...

Hopefully WBB is better suited to the European game.

Helena Pueyo was my favorite player on this year's team!
