Nice surprise - coming as it does at the last minute of recruiting. She is enough for this season. But with AM in her last year, we need another one in the next recruiting class - or portal. (yeah, I always want more).

i want to know too. I have looked but can't seem to find it on my own. Help please.

I don't know how long star ratings have been a thing in WBB, but i doubt that UNL WBB has ever had two five stars on the same team. Now of course those two are gonna need some four star front court players to pass the ball to, but two perimeter shooters like Prince and Hamlin, other teams are gonna have to come further away from the hoop to defend.

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!

i am perplexed by this. Of course WBB doesn't get the almost every day coverage that FB gets, but we see stories about baseball, mens basketball, softball, volleyball, track, and even bowling. Meanwhile, WBB - crickets. It's a small and mute black cat in a huge unlit bldg at midnight. Just try to find it!. It is as tho the AD publicity dept has forgotten that there is such a thing as WBB. Visibility is good and WBB doesn't have it. No attempt to drum up, or even re-awaken, interest.

so as for getting help from the portal, do you think that Amy is just happy enough with her existing roster and doesn't want/need any help .... or that she has tried and is trying and has made offers, but just hasn't had any success?

thank you, Papa. Until seeing those hi-lines just now my memory of good she was had actually gone a bit stale. Now I am hyped again

Bugs: There is a lot of complaining (and a little bit of praise) on here about the refs. Apart from the criticism and discontent, what would you suggest be done about it? I mean if it is hopeless, then I guess we just have to live with it and there is little point in whining. In your view is there anything that can be done to make them better? And if so, what would it be? Are there ANY refs out there who, in your opinion do a good job?

that is way too harsh. She is no dunce and of course she has a plan - she is not just napping all spring. That the plan seems not to be producing doesn't mean she doesn't have a plan and isn't trying. As for giving a new contract ... hard to do that to a coach who had a winning season, made the tourney, beat the NCAA runner up, took that team to the brink of a second victory, and has a really good incoming class. After next season, we do lose three (Moriarty, Coley, and Markowski) plus the transfer. For the upcoming season, I think we are fine except for being at risk in the big girl dept. But losing three and adding none in the next class portends an upcoming nose dive. I cross my fingers that something will happen at Creighton and the twins will have a change of heart. I struggle to understand why UNL is not attractive to a quality big - either a soon to be HS senior or someone in the portal. I mean if they look at last year's successes (including one victory and one very near miss over a NC finalist) and the fact that all positions other than a big are "there" ... just seems like somebody would say "I think i can fill the missing piece and have a fun and successful season there"

If no one more comes our way then I fear that the conference in general (and several of the teams) got better and we didn't. Yes, two of the frosh are great acquisitions, but they are after all frosh and their best contributions are probly down the road a piece. Wish we had acquired a player with more experience and maturity. I am disappointed.

but the rule pertains to ... "anyone who disrespectfully contacts an official or makes a threat of physical intimidation or harm to include pushing, shoving, spitting, or attempting to make physical contact with an official." Yes, I have shaken my head a few times when noticing that an official put hands on a player. But I have never seen it as an act of threat or intimidation or disrespect.

Of course

is one game enough? I don't think so. I think there should be a THREE game suspension for a second offense

it would be somewhat similar to our losing Potts - which was rumored but thank goodness didn't happen.

anyone here remember if the text messages that AS alleged CL sent her were said to have been on Snap vs some other texting app? I wonder if they are recoverable. whoops. instead of expecting others to look it up, I did so myself. The allegations was that the coach's texts were sent on SnapChat - where messages are said to disappear after they are read.
