Hate to see Whitney leave as she seemed to be a great teammate.  However, she wants to play and I hope she gets the opportunity.

Markowski was 19th, based largely and probably, because of her being the rebounding leader in the B1G.  She's a force on the boards. The rest of the league sure tries to double team her a lot.

So, I see your kids are taking full advantage of your retirement.

Maryland's Frese gets extension...

https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/bs-sp-maryland-womens-basketball-signs-brenda-frese-contract-extension-2028-29-20220419-xozrkmbjurczvjiuhiuecanqe4-story.html 

 

According to contract details obtained by The Baltimore Sun, Frese will make $1.7 million, a $300,000 raise from the six-year contract extension she signed in May 2021. Her amended contract will pay her an annual income of $1,040,000 per contract year in addition to her base salary of $660,000. Frese’s supplemental annual income will increase by $100,000, beginning in May 2023.

Frese will receive an additional $350,000 if she remains the coach until May 2, 2024, and an additional $350,000 if she is still coaching the Terps by May 2, 2027. Her previous contract was through the 2026-27 season and included an option for an additional one-year extension for the 2027-28 season.

And to think U MD's Athletic Dept was practically bankrupt prior to joining the B1G.  😮

 

(B1G had to give U Md an advance on their pay-outs after they joined the conference)

"Batth spent the last four seasons at NC State, helping the Wolfpack to three straight ACC Tournament titles for the first time in program history. In her four seasons, NC State compiled a 110-17 record, finished in the top 10 each season and reached three Sweet 16s, along with the 2022 Elite Eight. She worked with the post players, highlighted by working alongside ACC Tournament MVP and All-American center Elissa Cunane. The 2021-22 squad won a program-record 32 games and finished the year ranked No. 3 in the final Associated Press poll."

50 years doing what she loved.  Very few can say that about any occupation. A pioneer in women's basketball, and the accomplishments are extensive to say the least. She started back in the day when few girls even played basketball.

 

Very well spoken heartfelt words about her retirement and career.  Quite a lady ...and great person. The essence of hard work thought out her life, and what can be accomplished.

since things are slow this time of the year...some Minnesota info from a podcast. was told to listen to a segment on minnesota wbb coach lindsay whalen. the two reporters stated that they are hearing nothing but great things about whalen from the "inside". since she was hired, it has been a rather awkward transition. it was a big struggle in-house the past couple of years. with the holdovers gone, and the "great" recruiting class coming in---she will now begin to have her own team. discussion of Paige Bueckers came up---Stollings (head coach at the time) never set foot in Hopkins building (where Bueckers played her hs ball). the inside discussion....if whalen would have been hired a year earlier, these guys were hearing minnesota would have landed Bueckers. btw, it was well known Bueckers was/is a huge fan of whalen. 

 

well, as they say, time will tell.

speaking of minny...take a look at this 6th grader playing for 17U club. not bad. there is a news segment done by a Duluth, Mn tv station. she was a 4th grader at the time. family struggled to find her help with her severe OCD. Chloe would wash her hands constantly until they would bleed.........then they found basketball (her mother prayed that they could find something that would help with her OCD).

came across this rather "new" big ten wbb newsletter. subscription is free (right now). anyway, preview of teams is going from worst to best, i believe. this one is on Minny. interesting take. btw, i think this guy does a podcast for Buckeye sports. went back and read last years preview for Nebraska---i would say he pretty much nailed it.

https://hooplanewsletter.substack.com/p/2022-minnesota-preview

 

 

"The graduate transfers will be utilized, but it seems clear what Minnesota is doing here: Clearing the way for the freshmen. This is no ordinary freshman class, especially considering how not good the Gophers have been in recent years. Whalen has managed to hold on to a class that ranked top 10 nationally, with four players that should be able to make an immediate impact."

 

"I just want to see the freshmen, and I want to see glimpses of what the future could hold. You cannot lose 13 players and turn into a contender. This is, instead, as close to a tank for prospects as you will see in college basketball, at least in the sense of what the goals should be.

Minnesota’s offense has never been the problem under Whalen, but some signs of life on defense would be a welcomed change. The Gophers held onto the ball well, but could not get any turnovers the other way, so some new life could help improve the defensive effort.

I may expect another season at the bottom of the standings for the Gophers, but if this was a ranking based on intrigue and potential, Minnesota is among the top teams in the conference, and maybe the country."

Thanks, Whoop for all your eagle-eye input. :Salute:

 

Seems like the B1G is about to get tougher & tougher; Happily, we also have a pretty good returning roster (maybe one of the best ones ever), plus several talented newcomers.   Sure interested to learn what they have to say about this years Huskers. :Cheer2:

Reports the USC and UCLA are joining the Big Ten.  Travel will get expensive and time consuming when playing teams on both coast.

This probable change may be the first of many...perhaps additional teams, doing away with divisions, more or perhaps less conference games, and no conference tournaments???   Change...it is a coming!
