24-25 WBB Team

Way back in post #31, I'd given a few links for lists that attempt to show who's in the portal from what school and what if any school they've announced they've transferred to.

One of those links was for a list maintained by a Talia Goodman. Looks like she's got a new job at on3 (congrats to her), and her transfer list has also moved to that website. The direct link is https://www.on3.com/her/news/on3-2023-2024-womens-college-basketball-transfer-portal-tracker/ , and her Twitter account is https://twitter.com/TaliaGoodmanWBB .

(As I type this, her list says there have been 1,361 D1 WBB players in the portal, of which 552 have announced new schools and 36 have withdrawn their names from the portal.)

(Note - Obviously not personally relevant to me in any way, but I am also casually interested to see what ends up happening with one of the frosh Buffs from this past season who announced she's transferring, 6'3" post Ruthie Loomis-Goltl. In mid-April I believe she was one of the 1st Buffs to find a new home when she signed with Idaho. But now, Idaho's coach (who evidently had strong connections to Ms. Loomis-Goltl's home state of Nebraska) just a few days ago (4/30) left Idaho after 1 season as head coach to become the head coach at South Dakota. Hope where ever she ends up (Idaho or ???) works out great for her.)

Good post.

With the new anarchy in college sports, being anyone other than an absolute blue chip is a crap shoot. As has been pointed out before on this site, the new world benefits roughly the upper 10%-15% or so of athletes. As to NIL on the payor side, the richest programs will usually dominate the bidding. Shocking, I tell ya.

As to your example, I hope Ruthie L-G has a nice college hoops experience and that whomever her new coach at Idaho turns out to be doesn’t run her off. Maybe the departing Idaho HC takes her to South Dakota. But in any event it’s completely out of her control. Welcome to the club.
 
Roster as of 5/6

Sara-Rose Smith 6-1 5th Yr.
Frida Formann 5-11 5th Yr.
Nyamer Diew 6-2 5th Yr.
Lior Garzon 6-1 5th Yr
Kindyll Wetta 5-9 Sr.

JoJo Nworie 6-5 Jr. - assuming she'll get a fifth year granted due to injuries
Jade Masogayo 6-3 jr.

Kennedy Sanders 5-8 Fr. - R
Tabitha Betson 6-2 Fr.
Lova Lagerlid 6-0 Fr.
Grace Oliver 6-1 Fr.
Erin Powell 6-0 Fr.

My gut reaction is that the coaching staff has not replaced the level of talent that graduated (Sherrod, Miller, Whittaker & Nolan) or transferred (Vonleh & Sadler).

Nworie looks like a reach given she hasn't played basketball since her freshman season at a juco in Idaho. Two seasons of injuries doesn't make me optimisitc about her ability to make a significant contribution this coming season.

The other 3 inbound transfers (Diew, Garzon & Masogayo) may see some serious plalying time, but don't look to bring much offensive fire power. I know that Grazon is a three point shooter, but her stats don't stand out from Oklahoma State.

At this time I think the freshmen who could get some playing time are Sanders and Betson based on their HS resumés. Sanders in particular could have an impact.

Still think next season will be mediocre at best.

Yup, no indication that the level of talent on the current roster is good enough to get them to the post season, at least not the NCAA tourney. Maybe the WNIT, maybe.

Still could give up to 3 more scholarships.
 
A big maybe in looking at the way too early top 25 rankings.

The team for next season is very inexperienced and one or two of the returning players has to become a team leader. That was lost with Sherrod graduating.

I actually talked to someone this weekend about CU's women's NIL situation and was told "it's not the worst in P4 but it's not even close to competing".

Thanks for the confirmation.

Anyone who sees a team struggling with recruiting today, this is the first indicator.
 
I think I've seen on Twitter that NIL is different for foreign players than for US players?

That may be why JR is recruiting foreign players.

Iowa is recruiting a big in the portal and they already have 15 scholarship players. Tje fans are thinking they can fund a scholarship for her with NIL money. I have no idea how that works, but that seems to be the route they think will happen.

The other option is they have promised a scholarship to a recuit that got hit by a car with her family at an AAU tournament in the summer before she was to attend Iowa. Coach Bluder said they would honor her scholarship for 4 years. She is still having lots of surgery but she is in Iowa City. She didn't travel to any of the NCAA games.

Fans are thinking they could put her on the NIL scholarship or an academic scholarship and avoid being over 15 basketball scholarships.
