In the past 10 years, how many D1 athletes have successfully played both VB and Bball? I think there was that gal from BYU a few years ago, but I can't think of anyone else. I think it would be very very difficult to do, unless you played VB for a school that has little shot at post-season play and then maybe a better shot at post-season for basketball (or vice versa).

Maybe we can at least get her for VB.

For me personally, not at all. She dropped 40+ lbs and has become a much better player. I also get the feeling that she has matured quite a bit. She has put herself in position to be drafted to the WNBA.

Now that Baylor won, Mulkey can burn that outfit.

I know we missed the senior leadership a year ago, but I wonder if we would have been a bit stronger if Blackburn has been able to keep playing. She had fire and attitude and I really missed seeing her on the court.

Did Nebraska try to recruit any of the Arens girls from Crofton?

Michigan really pissed that away at the end. I really thought when they had the ball with about 45 seconds left they should have gone for a quick score so that they could get the ball back. They chose to run it into the shot clock but did score to go up by 1. But then a stupid mistake on defense and then another on offense cost them the game. SMH.

That was practically a 3 that Cain made earlier.

She’s boxed out and grabbed some rebounds, which is better than not boxing out and letting Purdue get the rebounds like I’ve seen many of our players tonight.

Might not hurt for her to take a seat for a few minutes to settle down.

We are all discombobulated right now. Purdue running all over us.

It’s not just ball handling turnovers though. We have some really bad passes that are head scratchers.

I think we have several fantastic players, but our turnovers are just mind boggling to me.

Taylor should not be handling the ball up the court.

And her 175 mark came as a sophomore in HS, which is a sick number to have as a sophomore. I was talking to a former Olympian who is a throws coach at a D1 school and he was salivating at the thought of recruiting her, right up until I told him she was committed to NU VB. I still think she throws disc for NU in the spring - she can wear a belt to help her back if she needs to. I will be interested to see her progression in this track season. If she keeps improving like she has been, she has a shot at making Olympic trials in 2020.
