I think there's a case on the starting lineup, but, yes a middle of the pack team. 18-11, 10-8, needing to win 1 or 2 at Big Tens to make NCAAs.

She struggled quite a bit. Seemed appropriate for minutes.

It's possible NU has the 3-point shooter it wants in one of the incoming freshmen.

With the exception of the 40-0 team, Mulkey's always better when she's a player short or an underdog.

They need both, IMO, and an enforcer post, too. White will help, tho. If she can get to the rim with consistency, draw fouls, make FTs, that's a big boost. Plus, she can defend and she'll bring a note of toughness.

You buried the lede, too. Nebraska's now No. 25.

Van Lith is a mini-Mulkey; she'll be a terrific fit there. But LSU won't win the national title. How's that for a prediction!

Prince commit would be a big deal.

Brady and Dillard would not be a part of the active roster, and Dillard may graduate with another degree by August

Well, she may not be just hanging out here a year after her collegiate VB playing days are over. At any rate, what she's trying to do - at 17 no less - is really, really hard. Jennifer Hamson probably did it best among college players. Cepero did it best at Nebraska. And she was a pretty spectacular athlete. To be clear, I think she oughta play more in the NIT. But who knows if that'll happen.

I think it can be problematic inferring someone will transfer based on observing their body language on the bench.

Ah. AM and LB don't strike me as similar people.

What's this bit of conjecture is this based on?

Oh, I dunno. Sometimes that can work. I don't think she fits with Gen Z kids.

There are a couple teams in the Big Ten - Nebraska will play another one Thursday - that basically dare the refs to call a foul on every possession.
