kansashusker:  Thanks for the kind words about Rachel Blackburn.  I think your sources are reliable :).  We understand that my Rachel is "under the radar" with most fans...  It's certainly understandable.  She wasn't a NE kid and she has yet to play a minute.  It's ok... We'll see how it goes.  Coach Yori texted Rachel yesterday regarding how she (Rachel) is doing so far.  It was nice. 

 

I'll just remind you that when Blackburn signed with Nebraska your local paper reported (this quote is on the team's official website)... 

 

          "Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said Blackburn’s toughness and energy could make her a fan favorite for years to come.  Husker fans are going to love Rachel because she represents what we’ve built our program on,” Yori said. “She’s tough, hard-working, skilled and is a great energy player."

Here's a feel good story. Ex-Husker Courtney Aitken who played her freshman year at NU has transferred and will play for UNK this season. She has three years of eligibility remaining. We'll get to see her play again when UNK comes to PBA for an exhibition game on Nov. 1st.

 

"We are pleased to welcome Courtney Aitken to the Loper women's basketball team. Courtney is a player I watched and followed for quite some time, all the way back to when she was playing high school basketball at Centura High School. She is a versatile guard who brings additional size to our roster at the guard spot," said Hofstetter.

Guessing the kids have to be getting excited to head to Australia this weekend.  I have no idea re: the quality of the teams we will be playing but guessing this more about a bonding trip, and the extra practice time we got because of trip, than the actual games themselves. Especially since so many kids are on the IR still.
