We also have a “commit” from Tevita Fotu a DT from Snow College. He originally committed in the 2018 class but ended up at Snow instead, now appears to be coming again. Does anyone happen to know how many years of eligibility he will have left?

I believe Koli Faaiu, an O-lineman from Edmond, WA, is going to announce his commitment this evening. Internet speculators suggest we have a good chance.

They’ve definitely had more turnovers lately than you’d like to see. Part of that is likely their youth, the vast majority of minutes are played by freshmen and sophomores. On a positive note, they have stretches every game where they take care of the ball and hit a few shots and they are really good, just need more of them….

College sports will never be a level playing field for all schools but the Pac-12 really needs to figure out the Pac-12 Network, that is a major part of the revenue disparity.

Two good conference road wins last weekend in Washington to put ourselves all alone in 7th in the Pac-12. This weekend has home games against Stanford and Cal. Stanford is ranked #8 and beat us by 33 at their place although the game was more competitive than the score indicates. A Utes win would be a major upset, let’s hope for continued…[Read more]

As of today, here are the PAC-12 teams in the top 25:
3. Oregon
6. Stanford
9. Oregon State
10. UCLA
12. Arizona
19. Arizona St.

The PAC-12 has to be the top conference in WBB this year and I don’t think it’s close. We have played both Oregon schools twice and UCLA and Stanford once each.

Pac-12 is just a buzz-saw this year, tough year to have a roster full of freshmen and sophomores, no matter how talented they are. It definitely seems like we are doing better the second time through the gauntlet, competing for decent stretches of each game. The opposing teams are so explosive though, hard to keep them in check for a full game.

We will win a lot of games shooting 16 of 23 from three. This is a young team with good potential, they’ve just had too many turnovers and defensive lapses in some of their games this season. Those will improve with experience, seems like they’re playing the right way and the team vibe is still good.

Right now we have 13 on the roster, with Zuzana Puc sitting ineligible to play this year due to transfer rules.

Next year we will lose Kiana Moore and Daneesha Provo to graduation, so with the addition of 3 from the 2020 recruiting class will give us 14 eligible players for the 2020-2021 season.
