Go Huskers!! Protect home court!  

[All About the Corn]

We know they can play with some of the top teams in the B1G. Lets hope they do that today. Sometimes teams play to the level of their opponent. NE is better than MN and should show it.

Kendall coley playing this game? 

[caveman]

Q:  I  can't find Kendall on the  roster.  Is she on the team.

[All About the Corn]

Are you sure you have the right name? Kendall Coley is a NE recruit coming in this fall. 

[Red Don]

Guessing Kendall Coley probably won't play in the Minnesota game, but should be available when the going gets tough(er).

Minnesota high school standout Kendall Coley has joined the Nebraska women's basketball and is expected to be eligible to play this season for the Huskers, following the completion of standard medical testing for an incoming student-athlete, Coach Amy Williams announced on Tuesday, Jan. 19.

Thanks for linking that. I was just going to say she came in early. I think I seen UCONN UCLA and another school has done the same thing since this wont go against their freshman year status. This could help a lot. Wonder if she will suit up just in case its needed. But this will be huge once she gets in the groove. 

[All About the Corn]

Well I did not know she was enrolling early. MN high school BB is not locked down but has cut the season down quite a bit. Hopefully we can get to see her soon.

You, Along with everybody else.     (I just happened to stumble across it while looking for any game updates on the WBB twitter forum.  https://twitter.com/huskerswbb  )

I am guessing that is the reasoning. I know the girl for UCONN that was the reason why she enrolled early. 

[All About the Corn]

I just updated my earlier post. Sounds like quite a few players are enrolling early if they can.

i just checked the mn sports pages and couldn't find anything that states they are locked down. i just think it's the uncertainty of everything going on. 

 

depending on the game situation, wouldn't shock me if she gets a few minutes. whalen threw borowicz out there although i think she practiced most of the week.

So I would think we would be without Bourne again based on the quick shot of the scooter next to her in the last game. 

[12dozen]

Good friend, Kennedi Orr, Nebraska Volleyball recruit, is also an early enrollee.  That should help them both adapt to college life in Lincoln.

no bourne, no coley

[whoopdeedoo]

slow down powell and hubbard---plus, stay out of foul trouble with only 7 available

[12dozen]

Coley has to go through the Covid protocol before being cleared to play.

I believe Amy announced it today. Probably just arrived, in time for second semester classes. (do they start next week?)

[All About the Corn]

At the OSU game it looked like Brady was in shoes and in the pregame it sounds like she is close to a return.

[12dozen]

If you subscribe to Red Sea Scrolls, Mike Matya posted a thread on Coley's arrival.  Don't usually see coverage of WBB over there.  Good to see.

And dont let Scalia get open looks, Minnesota is a dangerous team despite what their record says, they are the far more athletic team but dont have the size to matchup with Cain.

[whoopdeedoo]

matt just stated mn hs girls bb is not underway yet........pretty sure they were suppose to start around the 14th----so, that says a lot.
