2025 guard Olivia Hamlin from Utah commits to NU

Just watched her video. She is FAST !!!! I mean REALLY FAST !!! And shifty. I know it's just HS ball and the level of competition is unknown, but her ability to dribble to the basket while making that super slick 30 to 45 degree cut in direction is super impressive! It's the kind of speed and cut that leaves a defender wondering "where'd she go?" Seems adept at the pull up three. She and Prince could be a dual threat back court. Good get!

Huskers at no. 19 on this one:

i get the feeling he did not include the incoming schools, anyway, on to his list: Rashunda Jones Purdue 18.7 mpg/7.8ppg/2.3rpg/1.7assistspg/0.9stealspg Taylor McCabe Iowa 8.2mpg/3.3ppg/0.6assistspg/35 3pt made/46.1 3pt% Emma Shumate MSU (from Ohio State) 9.3mpg/4.1ppg/0.3blockspg/43.1 3pt% Niamaya Holloway Minnesota 13.2mpg/3.6ppg/3.1rpg/1.3stealspg Jayla Oden Penn State 15.3mpg/5.6ppg/1.1assistspg/0.7stealspg/37.5 3pt% https://hooplanewsletter.substack.com/p/big-tens-breakout-candidates-2425?utm_campaign=email-half-post&r=1m2893&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email starting July 15th, he will preview a team each week (starting with his bottom team to the top pick)

Early notes: Rollie has established himself, along with Juwan, as a vocal leader. That isnt surprising. Showed better than average ability to defend on the perimeter. Taller than expected. Appears 6’5” Not much difference between Rollie and Brice height wise. Meah is head and shoulders taller than anybody else. Dunking any and everything around the rim. Fluid for his size. Morgan may be the sleeper of the offseason. Showing some nice post moves, pretty mobile as well. If Nick Janowski doesn’t see the court, wow. Absolute beast mentality. Relentless. High energy. Elite shooting ability. Connor is an elite shooter. Gavin can be special, shows flashes at times but also still needs some seasoning. People probably have overlooked the role of Cale. Brings experience and could be called on for his versatility and defensive fouls. Heady player. That is all for now. Everyone have a great 4th of July!!!

Nothing says “Tobacco Road” like Berkeley California…!

Another one!

The Bottom group

Men's wrestling and men's & women's track and field were major contributors to that #22 ranking. These programs deserve more recognition for their successes in 2023-2024.
