Boston is going to the W - win or lose. She already has a Natty and multiple SEC conf. The girl is moving on.

There are many seniors who should be cashing in their covid yr - Boston is not one of them.

Thibault is doing commentary for NCAAT teams in South Bend, IND.

Teams he’ll watch include:
#3 Notre Dame
#6 Creighton
#11 Mississippi St
#11 Illinois, which got eliminated by MSU in play-in game
#14 Southern Utah

Reminder that when Thibault worked the Tournament last year, he seemed to be drooling over Joens.

I found it on the bottom of the AZ preview of their NCAAT game today.
https://admin.arizonawildcats.com/gameday/womens-basketball-vs-west-virginia/wbball/2509/

Without looking into it too deeply, that looked like an announcement they were making, but I guess it was just part of the history of this season? Weird.

I hope the WFO are watching Jacey Sheldon today in the tourney. I’m very interested in her status of declaration in this draft. Missed most of the year but def a WNBA talent at PG.

i personally would be very surprised if Jacy Sheldon turned pro now & thus opted not to return to tOSU for a proper final season

she didn’t participate in the Buckeyes' Senior Day, fwiw

[RavenDog]

I don't think Staley would permit Boston to stay another year at USC, even if she wanted to. She's too heavily invested in top players she recruited and patiently waiting to play and she has more top talent coming in. No room and it would be detrimental to her future recruiting.

Besides, her second five may be better than her first five now.

Wonder what type of interest a prospect like Amihere has garnered. She’s clearly better than what she’s been able to present at SC these years as she displays on the Canadian national team. Still a project that has potential can literally play 1-4 with a minimal shooting range yet efficient in each position on both sides of the ball as well. So much untapped potential there imo.

Here’s another big mystery I’ve been wondering about.

I saw in stormeo’s list that Reese is listed as a sophomore. Howee was calling her a sophomore earlier in the season in the game threads, because he looked it up and that’s what he found.

Reese played 15 games her freshman season at Maryland.
She played a played a full season her next season at Maryland.
Now Reese is playing her first season at LSU.

How does that make her anything but a junior for basketball eligibility?
15 games seems too much for a redshirt, and I haven’t read anything about her redshirting.
Who cares about her academic standing if that’s the issue?
She has the option of a extra covid year, but that doesn’t mean she’s a sophomore now.

But even responsible sports media companies like ESPN are representing her as a sophomore.


I wonder if this an elaborate scheme by LSU to make Reese believe she’s an actual sophomore.

i think it's as simple as this: ever since the covid bonus season of '20-'21, some programs choose to – perhaps misleadingly – define the "freshman/sophomore/junior/senior" labels as it relates to how much eligibility the player has remaining, rather than how many years the player has actually been in college. i noticed Washington wbb does this as well.

schools doing that have made things a mess when it comes to division I-wide national databases labeling players by their class standing. a "junior" could be a 3rd-year player with two more seasons of eligibility, or a 4th-year player with one more season of eligibility.

and that doesn't even factor in players who have actually redshirted, in which some schools have simply stopped listing a player as a "redshirt fr/so/jr/sr" even if they legitimately took a redshirt year.

it's all a fuckin' mess. and it will be until at least the '24-'25 season – when true seniors whose freshmen years were in '21-'22, and covid-bonus seniors whose freshmen years were in the '20-'21 covid-bonus season (in which they'll have played five seasons of college b-ball by then) will all be due to run out of eligibility at the end of that season.

players who redshirted at any one point will still make things slightly messy, but then, it was like that before. so long story short, figuring out players' eligibility statuses should go back to normal by then.

Some schools have gone the extra step of listing both players' academic and athletic class; Marquette is the example that comes to mind, although you have to switch to grid view to see it.

It's not misleading because the NCAA has said that year doesn't count, for all intense and purposes act like that year didn't happen so schools are "labeling" student athletes as such. And schools have always listed players by their eligibility as opposed to their years in school. In all the years I've been in college basketball I can't recall a time when schools didn't label their student athletes by their eligibility.
