RebKell's Junkie Boards

Was intrigued from a little blurb in a recent tidbit on USA Today, about many women basketball players in NCAA Division I are foreign-born.

They credited with the following article for the numbers: 275 foreign-born women are playing NCAA Division I basketball. And 132 of them are from Europe.

Maine played Purdue this year and I swear their entire roster was made up of foreign kids.

I hark back to a year when Susan Walvius was coaching SC and they had 8 players on their roster from an assortment of countries including Turkey and Croatia. They were also holding up the bottom spot in the SEC. My friend and I were at the game in TBA and I observed that SC's problem seemed to be that their players just weren't communicating. "Well, how can they?" queried my friend. "None of them speak the same language!"

Seeing as I brought them up, I figured I owed it to everyone to check out Maine's roster. Here it is:

England
Serbia
Sweden
Finland
Greece
Italy
Austria
Germany

8 players from foreign lands...it's like the United Nations. Kind of reminds of how Old Dominion and Florida International used to be.
