C State champs.

Congrats, Red Dragons.

Hopefully this news reached Stout last night when the poll was released but just in case, congrats to the Blue Devils on their first Top 25 appearance since the 2009-10 preseason rankings!

Thanks, Darryl.

This is cool resource and I appreciate you continuing it.

And you're right -- first regular season poll will be released on Monday.

Thanks for flagging that.

We had to add something on the back end of our system, so the box scores would post. I suspect that I did something wrong and Pat fixed it since that's usually how these things go. But it's fixed now.

Thanks for the correction on Russell's year. That's my mistake.

Regarding Toomey, I don't think we've ever chosen a transfer as Preseason All-American. Even Sydney Moss had to wait six months when she transferred from Florida before we lavished her with all our awards.

By the way, if I'm just going on what I read, there's another D1 transfer I like even more than Toomey and she's not on the team either. I'll wait to to tell you who she is until she does something worth celebrating. :)

Pellecchia was definitely considered, but there are only so many spots to go around. It's unlikely we'd give four of 25 spots to the same team and NYU now has three returning All-Americans with Bauman and Morrison transferring in from Babson and Smith.

Fortunately Belle can prove us wrong over the next few months, though I still won't guarantee that we'll have 80 percent of their starters as All-Americans. :)

Berea moving to the HCAC is a good pick up for the HCAC and a big hit to the CCS from a women's hoops perspective.

From a men's basketball perspective, it makes the conference's ability to get an automatic bid more tenuous, dropping to just six members. Does that cause any of the other members to go back to the USA South or can they add someone else?

Thanks, RogK.

Elyce was a great guest.

Last week I interviewed Elyce Knudsen on her Jostens Trophy win. Drawing inspiration from the Q-Cast, our interview runs through a wide range of topics including COVID shifted her focus from softball to basketball; her NIL deal; and where she wants to improve her game.

Interviewing her was a treat.

Looks good on Twitter, er paper.

Hopefully it's a Katie Titus (Rochester) situation where she's an instant All-American in her lone year.
