Just a quick comment on the instance of last year and College Sports Madness ranking the Jacks #24 in the nation in their top 44,we didn't live up to that ranking and I hope they don't do it again this year.I'd much rather have the team under-rated than over-rated.The poll doesn't mean a whole lot,but it's much sweeter surprising people than being expected to beat just about everyone you play,and,if for some reason your team doesn't perform as expected,well, you weren't supposed to right.Be careful what you wish for,sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want it to.

So of the big three no Coyote teams football, MBB or WBB has ever been the pre season favorite to win their league. I like it better this way. Preseason predictions aren't worth the rags they are printed on. It makes beating the Jacks that much sweeter when they are "expecting" a win. Consistent winning will change that from the media's point of view. Some jacks fans will probably always consider their team to be superior, and that is just fine with me.

That's the beauty of sport.
All the preseason boasting and whining of fans and pontificating of sportswriters and broadcasters doesn't mean shit when you actually step between the lines.

Play the game and then we'll find out. The biggest whiners and complainers most often never played and are usually the most clueless. Dunning-Kruger Effect anyone?

Yes,this was brought up on SDSU's fan board....Forum/Jackrabbit Women's Basketball/Future rosters , post #87, on page 7. link This is the rule allowing her to play immediately without having to sit out a yr. Thanks for the link. So basically because she was not considered "recruited" by NU (still played in 29 games) she is immediately available. Meanwhile, Severyn redshirted at SDSU, but still had to sit out another year. Probably because she was recruited. Makes sense. *rolls eyes* It had nothing to do with being "recruited." Riley was a walk-on at Nebraska. Since she was not on scholarship, she is allowed to transfer without penalty. Had she been on scholarship, she would have to sit out like all other transfers.
And for what it's worth, as a SDSU fan I find it hard to believe that a WIU team that essentially returns all it's starters isn't the preseason favorite. Although as we all know, that ranking doesn't mean anything and I suppose serves mainly to give reporters (and message board posters) something to talk about leading into the season.

Had she been on scholarship, she would have to sit out like all other transfers. That makes sense, but I'm still confused about K. Severyn. I assumed she was on scholarship here, but was informed that that was not the case, and even walk-ons have to sit out if they transfer. I suppose that still could be true if she was on scholarship at SDSU, but not here. It seems a little harsh to punish someone like her who was leaving a scholarship in order to walk-on elsewhere. I wonder if it has to do with the previous coach (school) opting to release them or not. I know in volleyball it is common practice for schools to always grant the release when athletes transfer, but occasionally a coach will decide to be a pr!ck and force them to sit out. Oh well. Just one more thing to add intrigue to the rivalry, I guess. Game on.

As for volleyball, I'm not 100% sure but I believe their athletes are excempt from the transfer rule (mainly only applies to high revenue sports). So I believe a volleyball player could transfer and play immediately at another school.

It really doesn't bother me either way, but if a player is moving from walk-on to a scholarship player isn't that moving up? Whereas if a player goes from a scholarship to a WO that is moving down. It is the adverse of the rule for FBS to FCS in football. If a player goes from USD to FBS they have to sit out a year. If a player comes from the FBS to USD they can play immediately. It is interesting how they differ when you think about it.

It really is a simple rule, but the ramifications of it are far-reaching. Being on scholarship (or not) is only mentioned once, as it relates to a Riley C-J type situation.
FCS football is considered the same as any other not-listed (essentially non-revenue) sport, like the olympic sports. That's interesting. Probably an oversight/loophole. Otherwise the FBS transfers would all have to sit out.
Another salient point is that regardless of the situation, you still have to get a transfer-release agreement from the previous school. This is important, because it gives coaches the power to block players from transferring to certain schools of their choosing (rivals or conference members). There is no check on their power to do this.
Some coaches have used this power liberally, and it is controversial. A player can still choose to transfer to any school they choose, but they will not be eligible for a scholarship at the "blocked" schools. Shameful policy for the student-athlete, IMO.
I doubt AJ did that to Severyn, or it would have come out in the news. She probably just didn't earn the scholly, I guess. Or lost it.

Lexi Bando was on the Oregon Ducks squad that came to the Dome in 2016 as the nation's leading 3 point shooting team only to be dismantled 88-54 as USD rolled to a WNIT championship. Bando had 15 pts that game and Jaycee had 5 assists as a freshman. One of the greatest offensive performances I have ever seen from a USD team. Thanks for sharing tator. www.goyotes.com/news/2016/3/30/womens-basketball-coyotes-shoot-down-ducks-88-54-to-reach-wnit-championship.aspx Edit: Yes, I realize that wasn't the championship game, but it set the tone going forward and sure felt good after the 8-30-2014 beating we took in football at the hands of Marcus Mariota not only losing 62-13, but also losing our starting QB Kevin Earl early in the game.

That Oregon game to my recollection was the best team performance I have ever seen at the Dakota dome. Jaycee Bradley cannot shoot enough IMO.

For those that haven't listened to the Women's Basketball media day they had both Duffy's and Bradley for the player interviews. They mentioned that they got to hang around the Macklemore rap group and had fun shooting around with them. Caitlin says she is very excited if not giddy to be able to play one season with her sister. She is very grateful to be able to play one more year of college basketball.
When Dawn talked she mentioned that the kids are Caring, Competitive and Crazy (in a good way) and like to have a lot of fun during practices. They really get after it in practice which has been a theme all off season and preseason long. There was no mention of any of the freshman and if they would red shirt or not but she did not give any indication that they would. She said that Korngable and Kunzer look kind of similar and some may get them confused for awhile. Both play very fast. She said that Liveringhouse had a good summer and should be due for a good senior year. Frederick also seems ready for bigger minutes. Dawn didn't want to get into the predictions when asked about their 3rd place slot in the polls. She said they are a process oriented program and the goal is to always be competitive for conference titles and NCAA tourney appearances.
