... and now for some positive news

[soofooyote]

Very exciting! Anyone know?

[yotenation]

I assume this means good news is on the way???

[hoopsmom]

I would assume the coaches are on the road with all of the AAU tournaments this weekend. So maybe a future commit?

Was named All-WAC Newcomer in 2020-21. Suffered injury late in freshman year and then worked her way back slowly last year. Three years of eligibility remaining. Played at Millard North in Omaha.

Very nice. Seems like a good addition.

FWIW, she and Krull both came out of high school in 2020. Both were NE Super-State second teamers, while Krull was a Class A first team all-state and Avila-Ambrosi was second team.

Nice get! Love getting Omaha kids. Could be our PG, time will tell. 3 years is a bonus.

She graduated as Millard North's all time leading scorer and also hold the record there for most points in a game.

Should provide a nice boost offensively.

I would think she would start at PG, and have Grace as the 2 Guard. She has starting experience, and Cal Baptist was a very good team for the past two years.

I'm guessing we add just one more. Yes, we now only have 12 on the roster, (so three open scholarships), .... BUT

Since we graduate 2 and have three commits in the 2023 class, that eats up a scholarship. Also, this staff is sending out more 2023 offers, so I would assume the intention is to have four in that class?

That leaves one more open for transfers.

I'll guess we try to get a post player.

Sounds about right, although I could see us adding two with one being a grad transfer with a year to play.

Yeah, that would work too! Lots of grad transfers in the portal.
