If Sam decided not to return for a 5th year, is Nye someone we would/should pursue?

Even  if Sam stays (I hope)...Nye would definitely be a great add to our roster. We lose MiCole this year.

Kudos to Coach Amy Williams for building a program that I think a lot of players would be eager to join and contribute.

 

Enough Said:

guess WNIT grabbed minny (14-17?). MSU and Northwestern supposedly turned them down. 

can't play at Williams with girls tourney going on this week. boys next week. 

wonder if they send them to SDSU? 

edit: Minny @ Green Bay, then possibly @ SDSU

 

with Clouden announcing her intentions of going pro, add MSU injuries, i can understand why they declined. Northwestern has a pretty young squad...think it would be good experience for them.

Not surprised to see Nye leave IL. She will be a good addition for her next team.

Jada Peebles (5-10 JR guard, Raleigh, NC) has entered her name into the portal, out of Illinois WBB; 7.0 PPG in 2021-22. The #1, #3, and #4 scorers for the Illini have all now entered the portal.

this is a pretty big loss for minny...

sissoko is a bit of a head-scratcher. i've watched a few of the minny games where she was a world-beater for half of the game. then, for whatever reason, would disappear the rest of the game. no idea if it's the game plan or sissoko. she could get in foul trouble that would limit her at times, but, man....there is a lot of potential there. she could be so dominant at times.

 

Another Minnesota WBB player into the portal: Kadi Sissoko, 6-2 RS JR wing, Paris, France; 4th-leading scorer (10.8 PPG), leading rebounder (5.7/game); started her college career at Syracuse https://t.co/c4kLBGyrGh pic.twitter.com/RDUZZFnbWq

No idea where she might go, but Sissoko looked good when we played Minn.  Quick, rebounder, BBall IQ..etc.

 

[whoopdeedoo]

Taylor Miksell has announced she will return to the Buckeyes.

[whoopdeedoo]

 

Ronnie Porter, 5-3 SG, Como Park HS (St. Paul, MN), has announced her commitment to Wisconsin WBB, their sixth 2022 commit (including four who signed in the fall)

— Raoul (@Raoul_000) March 27, 2022

i'm sure i read in an article (where she was named East Metro POY) that had her listed at 5' 2"

 

i know ISU has a "shorty" (i say that with no disrespect) on their squad so went and looked it up---she is listed at 5' 3" also.

Illinois' base salary for Shauna Green:

 

The State Farm Center recently went through a $170 million renovation, which was completed in 2016. The Ubben Basketball Complex, which houses both the men’s and women’s basketball programs, is currently undergoing a $40 million renovation. And Whitman is investing heavily in Green and her eventual staff. Green will make $800,000 in base salary annually over a six-year contract, up from predecessor Nancy Fahey’s $544,900 base salary and one of the top-half known salaries in the Big Ten.

wow! although, not a complete shock to me. i watched her body language against the huskers and some other games. not good. i would take her in a heartbeat!

She has had a great career, time to hang it up and let Rutgers find a successor.

you are probably correct. i didn't think she would return when she took time off for an illness (i believe).
