I didn't say you were writing her off overall, but you seemed to be writing off the possibility of her starting, which is the comment to which I was referring ("they still will be true freshman...not sure if they can just step into DI - B1G play and contribute right away"). I think that when you come in well coached and well prepared from a disciplined program like St Johns you can indeed start as a true freshmen from the first game. Lindsay Allen, from the same program, did it and led her team to the title game.
I expect that McGraw was willing to do it will be of significance to Washington.

When I made my original post on this topic, I wavered back and forth on whether to put Spann or Carter into the PG starting position. Since Spann started a lot of games last season and knows the system better than Carter I put her in there. But again, that is why I said "to start the season." Because I felt that Spann still might struggle as she did last season with turnovers.
I am much more confident of the other starters I penciled in: Agee, Mitchell, Banks and Moore...pretty much no brainers. Although Peyton Whitted could give her friend/roommate/teammate Kaliyah Mitchell a run for her money. Lineups can change frequently especially for younger teams or teams that are coming off a 6-24 season.....
Anyhow, I am looking forward to the upcoming hoop season. With Lexie Brown transferring out of Maryland that brings the Terps back to the rest of the B1G quite a bit. I still feel that CW is just one really good player away from winning a B1G championship and making a deep run in the NCAA's. Yhere have been a TON of transfers this season and several have been high profile players like Kaela Davis (just chose South Carolina) and Sierra Calhoun just to name a couple. I've heard that Calhoun has petitioned the NCAA so she does not have to sit out a year due to some alleged mistreatment that she supposedly went through at Duke. Something sure is going on a Duke wth the revolving door Coach P has there.

I certainly hope MI-State has gotten rid of all their nasty, snake-bit luck with injuries and is ready to make some real noise this season.

Spartans should have numbers this season to back up Jankoska and Powers dynamic efforts. Jasmine Hines provides experience in the post as she is returning for her sixth year. A key development will be how Brandeis Agee fares after missing the past two years. Lots of new faces in East Lansing.

You said: " I think that when you come in well coached and well prepared from a disciplined program like St Johns you can indeed start as a true freshmen from the first game. Lindsay Allen, from the same program, did it and led her team to the title game."
But ND's roster is filled with great players. Are you implying that if Amari Carter starts as a true freshman from 'game 1' that Penn State will reach the NCAA title game?

This week's GameTime League sees the Mini-mighty, Hawkeye point guards squaring off in a battle of undefeated teams.
http://www.dailyiowan.com/2015/07/06/Sports/42433.html
Sophomore-to-be Whitney Jennings is listed at 5-5 while incoming frosh Tania Davis is listed at 5-4. Both estimates are probably generous. These two are the top scorers in the Iowa summer league.

Gophers add an incoming freshman transfer from Northern Illinois and an international player from Australia. Both will be eligible this fall.
Lamke, Edwards Sign with Gophers
| Quote: |
A 6-foot-3 center from Galesville, Wis., Lamke was the No. 49-ranked center in the class of 2015 by ESPN at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School and played for Wisconsin Playground Elite AAU. |
| Quote: |
| A 6-foot-3 center from Leeming, Australia, Edwards averaged 17.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks per game at the Australian Junior Championships in 2014, where she was voted “Player of the Day” on the opening day of the event. In 2013, Edwards ranked first at the Australian Junior Championships in rebounds per game and blocks per game. |
Edwards played in Australia's WNBL so wouldn't that make her ineligible if she was getting paid?

She reportedly had offers from Seton Hall and others. Otherwise I don't know much about her, but CVS loves her guards.

The tweets are pretty bad. They start off just slightly embarrassing and then veer into really awful territory.

Meanwhile, just down I-94, Barry Alvarez is frantically emailing around the office, "Is this a new conference-wide rule? Asking for a friend."

Well now it is WBB related.
The first complaint accusing Teague of gender discrimination was filed in 2012, when he was the athletic director for Virginia Commonwealth University. Women’s basketball coach Beth Cunningham filed the complaint.
The specific reason for the complaint was not provided in the records obtained by the Star Tribune.
Teague took the athletic director job at the University of Minnesota in April 2012. Cunningham, the winningest women’s head basketball coach in Virginia Commonwealth history, left to take an assistant coaching job at Notre Dame in May 2012. VCU settled that complaint in July 2012 for $125,000, records show.
Cunningham could not be reached for comment. Officials from VCU did not respond to requests for comment.
