    Achol Akot commits to UNC

    I was thinking the same thing about the Utsby comp. She attacks the rim with assertiveness and pace and is strong. Good rebounding, assist, and steals numbers and only averaged 26mins/game last year so should climb with increased time and usage. She’s dynamic; going to be a lot of fun to watch.

    Big 12 transfer plans to visit

    Just watched a few of Akot’s highlight reels- she is an ATHLETE. Really love this prospect 🤞🏻

    Any chance Lanie could return or has that ship sailed? Agree we need that shooter. Grant hurt more than Aarnisalo for me.

    Official Player Return/Departure Thread

    This is rough. We really need some athleticism and physicality. Nivar, Henderson, and Harris leave a huge void in that department. Lanie may have been our best "basketball" player. Banghart and staff have their work cut out for them. I have faith, but no need to sugar coat this. Holding pattern...

    We need someone with a similar skill set and presence to Harris but even better on the boards - thinking like a Quiñónez or Ashlyn Watkins type. Or throwing it back to like a Larkins. Harris was so big for us because she was imposing and physical and could command the paint but still athletic...

    Official Player Return/Departure Thread

    My *perception* is that attendance and student and local enthusiasm for this program was at its highest under Banghart when we were on the rise during the Deja/Utsby/KTW era. Seemed to drop off quite a bit since then. Part of it is having a star player who wants to be in the spotlight, has that...

    Lanie Grant transfer portal

    Seems like there is probably more to it than just money with a kid like Grant. Not going to speculate beyond that but this is a pretty big blow. Banghart has done a great job of pivoting and I feel pretty confident she will do that in this scenario as well. Hopefully we learn from this and make...

    This really sucks. Loved her game and her character. Will be keeping tabs on her game; wish her the best of luck.

    We need to retain Henderson - her ceiling is off the charts. Need to develop her into the star she can be. Gotta keep her in CH. Side note- I wonder if Serah Williams has any regrets about choosing UCONN? She may very well win a natty but doesn’t look anything like the first team all big-ten...

    Connecticut Preview and Game Thread

    Nivar deserves so much credit. Beyond her defense, I don’t think it’s talked about enough how much she did as a facilitator/play maker for this team. I think she averaged about double the assists per game as our PG’s (Kelly, Grant, and Aarnisalo). She showed out vs UCONN twice (also stuffed the...

    These refs are a JOKE right now. Just keep fighting and COMPETE every possesion. Proud of the effort. Just need more composure. Somebody else has to make plays besides Indy.

    Henderson should be a 3 at this level and a 2-3 at the next level. She is a star in the making but not a big, physical POST. Destiny Adam’s was 6’3 and loved to bang down low; that is quite a difference from 6’1 Henderson. We need a big, physical, athletic post with experience next year, no...

    The ACCT and Game 2

    I actually thought Blanca moved pretty well in limited action this year. Still room for improvement in the conditioning and agility department but I think she has the potential to be a pretty good mobile big. Where I think she really needs work is her physicality and understanding and...
