That new VB commit has a twin sister as well. Another tidbit - she is the stepchild of Bill Ziegelbein, a walk on with the Husker FB program in 1987 who eventually became the starting center. Bill died in a tragic accident on his way to Sturgis around 4-5 years ago. Her mother was a college basketball player and her older sister had committed to the Huskers before switching to a smaller school for college.

I meant “What was Iowa’s first offense?”

What was the first one?

Yup, she's on the roster. http://wnbl.com.au/uc-capitals/players/ Sounds like Griffin will join after rehabbing her injury.

I think she was cut from the Sky and might be in Australia playing on the same team as Griffin (who switched to Canberra I think)? Or I could be way off base.

Except Frost has experience.

How is the Whalen hire going to work? Does she have any coaching experience? She is still playing with the Lynx - has she hired a coaching staff already to cover for her this summer? Honestly, if I was a Gopher fan I don’t know that I’d feel very good about this. At least get someone in with experience and maybe hire her as an assistant so she can learn the ropes of coaching at a Power 5 school. Or am I missing something?

I agree. I suspect it may have been a mutual parting between JS and NU and NU helped her out with the waiver. Now ND owes us one!

She made a huge mistake by committing to the program at such a young age. She didn't want to be here and it really showed, especially her final year at NU. The program is better off without her - it's Romeo that we really missed.

So were the refs at the end when they didn’t whistle Mabrey for that foul.

We do have that Moos connection to Wash St. to help us out. And wasn’t her coach fired? If she applied for a waiver she might get it based on some things NCAA has done recently, but you never really know with them.

B1G is a major VB conference - has that hurt WBB? If so, how? Is it possible to be a big-time nationally competitive conference in both those women's sports?

Seems like she had a lot of foul trouble.

So about the only way is if she is getting her degree in 3 years instead of 4. I don’t think she is 22 this year but I could be wrong.

Does she (or can she) leave for the WNBA already? I wondered about that after her performance last night.
