We need a big addition. I feel like we are building a winning culture & system, but our roster as it stands will be outgunned and out-physicaled.

WBB off season news
- Thread starter buffgal
- Start date
Not sure, but assume this may (???) have been about the below incoming transfer from the U. of Arizona (who hails from West Linn, Oregon)?
Welcome and congrats to Ms. Vonleh!
(Note- I also plan on adding a separate thread for her in the recruiting sub-forum soon.)
She is a 6'3" F who, per her Arizona roster page, was a 4 star ranked player out of high school, and was the #9 ranked (by ESPN) post player in her class. Assume she'll be a sophomore next season.
Just quoting the full Arizona roster bio page (https://arizonawildcats.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/aaronette-vonleh/12943)-

A few different things-
Best wishes to Assistant Coach Lee in her new job, and hope the Buffs can find a great replacement. (Hopefully (or not) I'm assuming correctly in my reading of her tweet that she IS moving on from CU for another full-time job.?.)

Best wishes to this outgoing transfer at Missouri State -

And, best wishes to Mya Hollingshed on finding a good new basketball "home".

They picked her at #8 and then waived her??????????
Exactly.
Yes, Coach Shan has moved on from coaching. The media guy, Matt Kamph, announced on Twitter that yesterday was his last day at CU. He is returning to Clemson.
I've been posting graduation congrats and posts from today so far in a general thread in the Olympic Sport forum (https://www.allbuffs.com/threads/2021-22-school-year-general-academic-and-graduation-news.150092/), but since the WBB team did make some cool separate posts on most of their grads, figured I'd post the below here.
Congrats to the 3-4*** grads from the team!
(***In the Academic Dept's. post congratulating all the grads by team, they congratulated Ms's. Finau, Tuitele and Knight for WBB. However, per the last tweet below, looks like Ms, Sherrod was also at graduation today.)

Per a couple sources (including the usually reliable WBB Blog (https://wbbblog.com/womens-basketball-transfers-d-i-2021-22/4/), Lesila Finau's transfer destination is California (Cal) Baptist (which looks to be in Riverside).
Best wishes to her!

I was surprised a #8 was waived but was shocked that no one claimed her. Is there something else going on?

Great question
Not that I know anything, but comments I have read from those that follow the WNBA way more than I do expressed shock that Mya was selected at #8 in the draft. They either didn't think she'd be selected at all or that she would be selected in late second or third round, a spot that would not have her making a roster. So maybe those folks were right.

Lot tougher to get a chance there now, particularly in light of the Ukraine conflict. Hope she gets a chance, rosters are filling fast
