| Bollant did get some recruits in and he can clearly coach. It will be interesting to see if he can move Illinois out of the basement. |
The hard thing in a league like the Big Ten is that all the other teams brought in some good players as well...not to mention adding 2 quality programs. It definitely makes moving up hard to do.

I have faith in Bollant. But he needs to make progress and fast.

I like him quite a bit. I really hope that he can get that program built back up.

Michigan's signing class is announced:
http://www.mgoblue.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/111214aaa.html
Name Pos. Ht. Hometown (High School)
Lauren Brozoski PG 5-6 Cambria Heights, N.Y. (Long Island Lutheran)
Naomi Davenport F 5-11 Cincinnati, Ohio (Mount Notre Dame)
Nicole Munger G 5-9 Doylestown, Pa. (Central Bucks West)
Hallie Thome F 6-5 Chagrin Falls, Ohio (Chagrin)
Sam Trammel F 6-2 Minnetonka, Minn. (Eastview)
As a fellow Michigan fan noted, current rankings for Michigan's 2015 recruiting class:
ASGR: #23
Blue Star: #5
espnW: #15
Prospects Nation: #13
I've been following this team for 22 years. I think we have the best signing class and the best coaching staff in the history of the program. There are big things on the horizon.

Michigan:
Cyesha Goree recorded her second straight double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds and Katelynn Flaherty chipped in a team-high 15 points as U-M defended its home court Sunday against Bucknell, 68-61.
Penn State:
Lost by a point to Albany in the WNIT. I think PSU finished with 28 fouls.

I was just about to post that.
Albany has 6' 9" Megan Craig (for first semester only, IIRC) but she didn't play.
Looks like the POG was Shereesha Richards with 27 points, almost half the team total.

When I checked on Albany's site, they announced Craig had left. Shame- I wanted to get a look at her.

Illinois 77, Kentucky 71
Wow, I didn't expect that at all. Looks like Bollant has the Illini a little further along than I had thought. Great win for them and the B1G in a head-to-head with a top SEC team.
Speaking of the SEC, that's 2 nights in a row that one of their top 10 ranked teams loses to an unranked opponent.

| The Rutgers-Colgate game yesterday mostly wasn't notable except for CVS indulging her habit of experimenting with various combinations of bench players before the team was up by 30 (hence, the 16-point margin in a game where Colgate never really had a chance), but I did want to mention Betnijah Laney's 5th double-double in 5 games this year, this one with 17 points and 18 rebounds. Right now, she's well ahead (and I mean *well* ahead) of the pace to set a single-season rebounds-per-game record for RU, although honestly I expect her to drop off as the tough part of the schedule starts.

She's gonna play her way into the first round of the draft at that rate.

Michigan beat San Diego State 70-50.
Siera Thompson tied her career high with 25 points and made 5 threes. Katelynn Flaherty hit 6 threes and set a career high of 23.

24 and 24 against North Carolina, so perhaps my comment about her dropping off was premature.

Right after I posted this, UW had their best game of the season with a 25-point win over Marquette, 89-64. Rochel lead the team with 9 rebounds.

Illinois followed up a big 20+ victory over Virginia with an 86-42 blowout of SIU. SIU isn't a great team, but I'm really pleased with how Illinois is playing. Since that win over Kentucky, this team really seems to believe they can beat anyone and is playing to their full potential.
I expect them to make some noise in the Big Ten.
