From "Finalizing an agreement" to "Briefly discussed, but no longer on the table"

Hopefully Marilena Trinatifyli gets reclassified as a redshirt sophomore. She didn’t play a minute in any game, so that seems reasonable to get last year declared a redshirt year. I have yet to see anything official from SLU that this has occurred/is happening.
If they don't, that's a Bruce Zhang level blunder, lol.

Just read where Texas Tech gave NiJaree Canady over one million dollars. She is being heralded as the "first woman's million dollar player." A one-year contract worth $1,050,024. A million to the player, $50k for one year of 'living expenses,' and $24 bucks for her "jersey number." (Can't wait to see all the "Texas Tech #24" jerseys flood the market!) This was the incentive for her to leave the Stanford environment and transfer to Lubbock, Texas. If, not so much when, her college career is over, I am sure she can mov eon to professional woman's (wherever the hell that is) and continue to reap riches. Sure, Texas Tech made the college woman's softball playoffs but yippee-cay-ay who really cares? The death of college sports as we knew them is on the doorstep.
This just proves everything's bigger in Texas
that and they take non-professional sports way too seriously.

The only real solution if you want true student athletes is go D3 or form a new organization with like minded schools. Everything else is just going to be minor league sports and will eventually collapse when people start viewing it as minor league sports. I love college sports, but it is already losing some luster in my eyes.
Right I watch/have watched college sports because it's distinct from pro sports and now the gap is smaller and smaller every year. If I want to watch pro basketball, I can watch the NBA and I hate watching the NBA. If that's the case, I'll just watch the NHL, I love hockey.

There are other options for guys who have no desire to go to class. Let those guys go to the G league or overseas.
Straight to pro should be an option again. Some of them will be yearning to go to college after they learn they're not good enough for some pro leagues.

How dare anyone restrict their ability to earn a living.
There's earning a living and then there's brewing resentment and draining resources lol. This has to stop somewhere.

Why the **** were we playing an intra squad scrimmage at FHN? It would have to involve Chris Sloan?
The Mark Buehrle Classic obviously lol

I get the scheduling difficulties, but I would like to vote for at least scheduling all non-exhibition games against other D1 schools, no D2, D3 or NAIA teams unless it’s clearly an exhibition game,
And have them all at the beginning of the season! No mid-season exhibitions or games against that class of opponent.

It will not change the odds of us making the NCAA tournament, we just have to win the A10 tournament. It’s what teams in one bid leagues do.
I don't know why I don't have the confidence for that to happen.

I would rather have 15. Coach Tillet is on record saying she only needs 13. I don’t know why that decision was reached, but right now the only statement is hers, so I’m forced to believe it’s a coaching decision. In any event, right now I’ll worry about getting more than 11 total players first.
I'm just pessimistic as to whether we get anyone good from the ever-diminishing pool of what's left.

2 short of our declared 13 that we say is all we need.
A dubious statement at best, lol. We need every player for depth we can get, lest Bel Tillett start every game.

The only thing I can see to be optimistic about is Tillett will be gone after next year.
Definitely if we can't win more than 10 games.

The vibes are not good.
We're getting people who have limited stats and are injury prone lol.

Yes. Brooklyn was a player and would have thrived with a coach that would have recognized that.
Yeah she would have done (will do for Rhode Island
) amazing things just going off the time we got with her.

In that video her style of play looked similar to Brooklyn Gray.
In terms of physicality, I agree.

5-0 SLU win in exhibition game vs Southern Indiana. Billikens were in control all game, outshot them 23-3, neither Billiken goalie had to make a save. Julia Simon, Rylee Howard, Hannah Larson, Hope Kim all look ready for big seasons in the fall.
8-peat incoming?

"Gotta upgrade the roster, let's bring in a slightly better point guard than the one who was last off the bench last season"

Yeah didn't Nazario play fewer minutes than her daughter?

What are you getting at? I'm genuinely not picking up what your position is.
I read that as "why would Geno Auriemma give Chris May the time of day, much less recommend a coach to him?"

Yeah, I give her some slack for two never-done accomplishments in her first two years but gee whiz, TWO important players transferring inside the conference? And a REALLY s l o w restocking of the roster. Her seat has gotten warmer I would think.
Yep, if this season stinks, she's gone, I think.

And Tierra Simon is heading to Richmond per @Midtown Madness latest podcast.
So other teams in the A10 have the means to take our players. We, on the other hand….
I want answers, just for my own curiosity and rage, lol.

Brooklyn Gray has officially committed to Rhode Island.

Zya Nugent, the second Billiken signing, a 5’7” guard. From her last year at Stephen A Austin before her knee injury, 2021-22 season, she played 31 games, started 30 of them, her shooting was .416/.283/.694. 79 assists to 87 TO’s (87 TO’s was highest on the team). After missing 2 seasons with injuries, she appeared in only 20 games for West Virginia, 112 minutes total last year. Small sample size on all stats, her shooting was .393/.125/.556. 6 assists to 19 TO’s. She has 1 year of eligibility remaining.
I'm...not confident about that history.

Commitment numbers should reach 400 after this weekend. Number of players in the portal has reached roughly 1425.
That's nearly more than 1/4 of all available transfers that have committed already. We have 2 and need 5 to 6(?) Time is running thin, unless we want scraps.
