Season ending Banquet

[kansashusker]

The season ending banquet was nicely done as always.  The food was good and so was the program. Coach does a great job as well as all those behind the scenes that put it together.  Good booster turnout. Gbr

Damn, I should have went, and we could've met.

I heard that Bria and Darrien were not mentioned. True?

We will be down to 6 scholarships, this spring until the four freshmen get here this summer.

So I take it that here will be some announcements made in the near future.

I don't know, But one would think so.

I wonder if that’s the case if they try and find a few more for next year or roll with 10.

Good question, Maybe coach goes the juco or transfer route.

Yes, there will be.  Nothing too surprising.

Thought Bria could of had a breakout next year at guard. She could of been one of the "next in line" to a spot.  Had some real good minutes at times.

 

...but...who knows what's going on.

Is "preferred walk-on" an option for Women's basketball at this level?  My concern with numbers, has more to do with practice than game day. I'm excited for the 10 scholarship players we will have on the roster this coming season. 

[kansashusker]

12dozen yes preferred walk-ons happen in womens basketball. That is what Woody was when she first came to NU.

 

fyi - Re: practice there is a practice squad of male students that the girls practice against every day so numbers are never an issue re: the scout team.

[HUD]

The ten remaining players will all be able to contribute and would probably be enough players but only if we stay healthy.  When was the last time that happened.  We probably need another guard with experience even if only for one year.

[redsteve]

Wil have to see if they move on, or not.

 

IF.....we get another experienced guard transfer then we may be OK next year.

 

Our newbie guards will have to get up to speed very quickly. While they all will contribute in a big way...they're still freshman. But the two guards look like they'll play early. Like what I've seen from Brown and Haiby

 

Even Kissenger. injury or not. ...a 5*,  needed some time....she should be a much more effective shooting guard next year...but she's not a point guard. To valuable elsewhere.

 

With the 3 guard graduations and Bria maybe moving on....we could have some difficulties early. Losing 4 guards will be tough to overcome at any school. 

 

There will have to be some big adjustments going into next year. Will have a big need at the 5 if Washington moves on too. That's assuming Rachel will play too.

unfortunately, i think you are correct on that one. i will guess we won't see any more out of RB than what we saw this past season-----and, possibly less. hate to say it, but, maybe she is one that is contemplating a big decision.

Wouldn't Bria and Darrien be 5th year players?  Any chance, they both graduate this semester?  I'd like to think they earned their degrees before leaving, if speculation is true.

FWIW, Bria would be a 4th year junior.   No clue on her graduation status but it would be surprising if she graduated in 3 years.  Only Woody does that!

Darrin would be a 5th yr. Player.

Washington realizes she is only a role player at NU but Stallworth would have been a key contributor.  Good luck to both if they move on.

i just always go back to what dlrk stated in one of his posts: paraphrasing, "not a matter of if, but, when". so, i wouldn't be completely shocked if she just can't go anymore. would be sad----but, it is what it is.

as far as Washington, wonder if the continuing shoulder issue might play a part?

I honestly felt like when she played this last year she looked great and way better than Washington. Dlrk also made it sound like Rachel knew she could play more than she was, as if I remember at some point Dlrk was getting frustrated that she wasn't getting more playing time.
