The cat is outta the bag... Lol

Not all are scholarship players.

Looks like she can score for sure. That leaves one scholarship for next season. Hopefully there is still a buzzsaw point guard out there.

Emma Anderson to Upper Iowa.

Roach has another year of high school, so I think you have 12 scholarship players listed. One would have to assume they will be playing at a faster pace and looking to push the ball. One would also think that they will still be looking for a pg this year for sure and then best overall skill/bball IQ they can get to fill out the roster.

Two sr scholarship athletes left. 4 players in transfer portal. Keplin quit? 3 scholarship freshmen coming in. Should leave 4?

Year after. Here's a link to Anderson's game the other night. You likely have to copy and paste. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9dSPXa6LGo

I don't subscribe to that philosophy. Just want people to realize it's not just happening here so they don't lose hope. Reality is everyone gets 1 free transfer. A lot are going to use it and no program is immune. The average in men's ball right now is 3+ per school. Women's is around 2 per school currently. I wonder if it will slow down next year, after this crazy season of covid and the fact that it's a new rule?

For anyone who thinks 4 is a lot: https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/basketball/syracuse-womens-basketball-eight-players-transfer-portal

I'm guessing there are no 2021 high school grads left who could help a team. I also figure most portal gets will have 2 years left. So portal players this year but lots of spots for high school recruits in next couple years.

21 pages of transfers listed and growing daily. It's free agency! Maybe it will slow down some after this year?

Yeah, losing Fleecs is really gonna hurt but life goes on. Reinke seemed like quite the leader too and 4 assists a game is big..

Oh, you could be right. I'm not sure. Edit: This article may explain it some. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/16/sports/ncaabasketball/theyre-here-there-and-everywhere-college-basketball-assistants.html

I think she will keep who she has but I have a feeling that she may add another assistant.

Yes, could be lots of changes.

This didn't take long! https://twitter.com/amandalynroach/status/1372177886262743048?s=20

I'm going to stay confident that she and her staff put in the work (film sessions, reflection and self assessment) and they learn from any situations they identify where they could have made different decisions. It's when people think they know it all that you have more to worry about. Anyone know where one can watch the press conference online?

I guess the best we can do is be supportive of whoever gets chosen regardless of our differing opinions. #lgh

The head coach makes all recruiting decisions including who to talk to, who to offer, right down to how many days a staff can recruit. Assistants can have a big impact on whether a kid comes to a school but they don’t decide who to recruit.

I agree. I'm not sure how much better Coach Bernhard and her staff could have done with a roster leftover from Brew and with the injuries and illnesses. Brew did very little recruiting his last couple years and really handcuffed his assistants in their efforts. So, shorthanded to start and then playing with partial rosters all year is tough. As you can see from Kalhoff's resume he is interested in climbing. The search would likely begin again before long.

Round one of the interviewing process starts today. Anyone have any clue who is being interviewed?

If anyone has a login for the Herald they want to share so a person can watch the state basketball tourney feel free to dm me. Thanks.

Reports have confirmed that Tom Miller has been camped out at the airport.
