I like the arrow.  The arrow speeds up the game a tad, plus half the refs struggle throwing the ball up.

SIAP -  I was flipping channels, and noticed Leigha Brown suited up in the WNBA game.  A quick Google found this headline;  "Connecticut Sun Acquires Leigha Brown in Trade with Atlanta Dream."  
 
Glad we won't be facing her anymore.

That whole family needed bitch slapped!!!!

discussion about the Pac-12 and Big Ten with the new realignment...

since husker news should be rather quiet for a stretch, just thought i would pass this along. was talking to my cousin who lives just north of the cities. the topic of a 2028 recruit from Duluth, Mn came up. Chloe Johnson---i may have mentioned her before. 5' 10" guard. cuz told me that there have been some wbb commentators that have already dubbed her the #1 recruit in the country for 2028. well, yes, it's awful early and we all know that can change, but, even to get a mention at her age is pretty doggone impressive. anyway, after talking with him i looked up a few articles and whatever i could find on her. from some of her comments, i think the gophers will have a really good shot at getting her to commit---however, that is if the new coach has some pretty decent success. 

i'm just amazed the talent that minnesota keeps putting out in girls basketball.

i understand many of you only want to hear about Husker bb......however, this is a pretty interesting interview with Dawn Plitzuweit from Minnesota. 

 

i will go out on a limb right now........IF she can get the gophers to finish in that 5 to 7 range this season, and show they can compete with some or most of the top 5 teams.......there is so much talent in that region she just might have Minny competing for titles in a couple of years. in other words, she may get the upper talent to stay at home. this is a squad that just might play leap frog.

Don't forget next year we add the PAC4 so it gets even tougher.

guessing they were there to watch 3:

Maddyn Greenway 2026

Emma Millerbernd  2027

Ari Peterson  2028 (if last name looks familiar, yes, Adrian Peterson's daughter)

 

Most think Greenway is a lock for Iowa (both parents attended Iowa)...however, don't throw minny out of contention.

 Money  is talking ....B1G has it flowing. .......And Washington and Oregon coming the next year.

Until they find a way out of the Grant of Rights which ends I think in 2036 then they will be no movement in the ACC.

Watched some of the Iowa game last weekend. They will win lots of games. Clark wasn't drilling the basket constantly, at least when I  watched. Still has those sneaky  moments where she elbows someone, etc. 

But the team was in pretty good flow most of the time.

 

Lot's of new Iowa faces, but the they are "players".  The new guards (maybe were on the bench last year?) Don't who were freshmen...anyway one's that I watched were skilled and up tempo . Never saw McCabe on the floor, but didn't watch all the game.  The new bigs are pretty capable too.

 

We'll need to be ready when they come up on the schedule.

 

 

 

[All About the Corn]

McCabe has only saw mop up duty for Iowa. She did hit two threes yesterday in 11 minutes of play. Wonder if she will stay if this trend continues?

We can move up a lot from #35 if we beat # 7 Mich. St. team at there place this weekend.  Which NU team will show up?  1st half or 2nd half team from Georgia Tech game.

Is Brenda Frese feeling any heat?  She might be challenging to play for, but it has worked for her before. Not sure what to think of their current rating.

no info, but, i would be a little surprised. come march, it might change. she has had a number transfer out the past few seasons, but, seems to do a pretty darn good job in replacing them. 

 

probably something to keep an eye on.

We are now at #20 before even playing #7 Mich. St.  Another nice boost available if we win.

Maybe a bit too much or to early.....but get the feeling this team can really be good. The components are there. At all positions...some are stronger than others of course.  Have some very good experience, and a complement of good freshmen, that are contributing right away.

Chemistry seems good all around.

 

Just use them correctly, get the minutes right, schemes that work for your personnel, etc etc. but the potential seems greater than some past teams. Need everyone to stay healthy. But I like where we're going.

Staying healthy is the key but unfortunately mostly outside of our control.

I think the next 4 games should be real telling on where we are and where we going.  I think the first half of the GTU game was the wake up call we've been needing and the second was the response and since of urgency we've been needing to see
