He only guesses what the committee will think. I don't remember him being that blatantly wrong on something these past couple years (before then, there would often be a couple teams he'd be way off on).

Rough first year for Kieger at Penn State. I assume that it will likely take a little while to get things turned around there though - what do other Big Ten fans think? |
So, Penn State is an anomaly to me. They have a great women's volleyball program and a great women's soccer program, and a pretty good women's atheltics departments....but basketball seems to just putter along. The school and the athletics department sells itself. I think this is all coach personality when it comes to recruiting. Problem for a new coach, Pennsylvania just isn't a hot bed for girls HS basketball.
Like, Minnesota for instance. They've been kind of puttering along too. But they brought back a famous alumni as a HC and from watching Paige Bueckers HS games, there is a lot of HS basketball talent in MSP. I think Minnesota has a much better chance of being top-15 before Penn State. |
So I was told, rather huffily, when I twitted someone on another board about Drexel's poor attendance and said you'd think a winning program could draw better than THAT. (referring to the pitiful crowd at the game I had watched part of earlier)
No excuse. Go recruit somewhere else and build a program that people will come watch out of CURIOSITY if nothing else. Kieger nabbed one of the best seniors in Wisconsin this year. I have no idea what possessed the kid to go to Penn State, but good luck to her. *shrug*

| If Indy could actually put the ball in the basket, it would help their cause. They're clearly totally overmatched inside so they don't want to drive it...which limits what they can do. Charles continues to un-impress. I keep looking for the player some people think will be a good player in the W, but not seeing it.

Bummer, Vera Jones is retiring. They said she has been a broadcaster for 30 years and will continue to do motivational speaking. Seems like she could do both. Hope they aren’t pushing her out or causing her to want to retire from being moved down the announcing ladder.

She graduated Syracuse University in 1988 so should be around 54.

Only Myrtle would hate on 11 pts (5-10), 8 reb, 4 ast.
At least they’re now playing her mostly at her WNBA position.

In the Mich Oh St game the broadcast team spent 5 mins and 3 different camera angles on a play in the paint in which a defender stopped in her tracks after fouling the shooter, but no foul was called. The misfired shot from 7 ft fell short and was grabbed by a teammate (Hillmon?) under the rim. She then jumped 6 inches sideways with both feet leaving the court, landed, then shot and made the bunny.
Travel, ffs.

wait...who am I hating on? I loved Debbie Black. One of my favorite early on W players.
oh, you mean Charles. Charles is a good player, but I certainly don't see her as starter material in the W like some are touting. She missed bunnies, fumbled the ball around,... and in general sometimes just looked out of sync with her teammates. So I guess if that is your definition of hating on, yep that's what I think.
and if you saw her in the Purdue game, you would know what I mean.

Yeah, I hated to hear that. She's one of my favorites. I'd rather it be Beth or Debbie.

| ok, let me re-iterate my original statement: I don't see Charles as an immediate starter in the W, and maybe not even a future starter. That does not mean I think she's not a good college player. Y'all are just over-sensitive to any criticism whatsoever. If you think she's the best thing since sliced bread, I disagree. If you think she's a good college level player I would agree. Her athleticism is outstanding. However she needs to learn to shoot the three and become a better FT shooter and cut down on her TOs for the next level. And of course you are free to disagree.

I totally agree with all you say. I've been very frustrated with some of her play this year and often wondered when she was going to show up. I read into your comments a bit and got defensive of your criticism. I believe Walker-Kimbrough was a better college player and she's not starting in the W. Thanks for further explaining your views.

| speaking of body re-shaping... Shout out to what S. Jones has done over her four years at Maryland. She looks great.

SWK was one of my major favs as a college player. I still think she could become a good pro as well. One of her main problems IMO is her lack of confidence. She's never seemed to realize just how good she is or could be. I always root for her when she gets on the floor!

| I didn't realize that OhSU's team is all Freshmen and Sophs. That explains their ups and downs this season. It looks like they have a good future ahead of them. Just looking at their record this year, while they have quite a few losses, none of them are what I would call really bad losses.

| Maryland is so under the radar despite being a likely #1 seed. It's all about CarolOregBay or whether UConn can pull off a multiple revenge upset. Maryland deserves more love from independent fans. |

? I kid about Kieger coming back (I wish her well and hope she gets things going at PSU). Just trying to enjoy the ride with Duffy - very happy with her but figure it's only a matter of time before a school in a P5 conference hires her.
I have to explain that I almost never root for OSU, but the only circumstances under which I would root for Maryland is if they were playing UConn, or *maybe* Baylor.
with their effort.
