i was told she was a six footer but after i posted that i was told by another she is 5'9  and that she is more athletic then Nosa which is saying something. She is a slasher and can go to the hoop on the dribble where nosa is a inside player.  Now they need to get more point guards they are pretty solid across their backline

I wonder about the accuracy of her listed overall FG% of 28%. Nearly all of her baskets in the highlight videos are layups. If she was primarily a three-point shooter, 28% would be more plausible.
Also you originally referred to her as a six-footer but they list her as 5'9".
We'll learn what's what in November, hopefully.

Agreed - all that matters is how these kids adapt to the academics and how they play when they get there. She does look really strong and athletic.

got news today on my kid. Could be good news in the end. In the last part of her senior year she was practicing against boys and had a hard pass thrown to her that bent her non shooting wrist back  and it really hurt she sat a couple of games and saw a doctor who now im not very happy with. They didnt see anything in xrays but gave her a cortisone shot. her wrist still bugged her but she finished the season. Later in the summer it was still hurting and she couldn't do all the lifting exercises.  She got another cortisone shot before she left for college.  I knew it bugged her during the season but i had no idea until just a couple of weeks ago how much it was hurting her worse then before.  We just went to the doctor and this doctor feels she has been playing with a partially torn ligament. When society allows she will get a dye MRI test to see better and  she will get surgery for it needed. 

My daughter knows this that it was disappointing with her scoring average she is way more talented offensively then 4 pts a game  and not showing the offensive player she has the ability to be.  But now knowing this along playing the last half of the season with a dislocated hip  and then finally  the concussion.  Point of this long winded paragraph besides being bored is that if we can get her healthy there is no reason she wont be a double figure scorer and wit the addition of this years class and Rose and Jordan and Nola will all increase their scoring and Nosa will become even more of a stud.  The girl coming in this year the d-1 player will demand the other teams best defender which will make a lesser defender on kahlan and nola and making it harder to double Nosa.  I think they will have a year like the years before last. 

The biggest concern is point guard.  Right now they have one true pg and that is webster but i have heard that she might not be coming back. None of the girls signed this year are points.  If they dont get one that means Kahlan and Nola will have to be pg. kahlan did alot of it during the last part of the year but man she wants to play just one year as a shooter. Every year she thinks she wont have to do point guard duties for the last 4 years and every year she gets sucked back in lol.

Lastly new schedule is up. It looks like he went a little softer in his non conference no Chicago this year.

Hi Engine this post is for you  but i hope everyone is doing well.   I got a update on recruits for you and i think its pretty good news.  They have signed 6 players and still in the running for a post player from Alabama. The really good news is that they got another player who had D-1 offers but the bigger news maybe for the team is they thought they had missed out  on all the point guards they were recruiting but at the last minute a player decided that she did want to go to Rose.  I heard through grapevine that a top 15 school in the MIAA wanted her.

I dont know all the new player names except these 2 and Peyton Miller who is from California

Here is video of Manuella Shomba who got D-1 offers who is from Texas. www.ncsasports.org/womens-basketball-recruiting/texas/hutto/hutto-high-school/manuella-shomba

  The point guard is Mira Randolph from Ohio  only negative maybe is she is 5'4 but Rose is tall across the board www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpvB44AQF70

Well it's official. Kahlan played the last season with a partially Torn ligament in her non shooting hand.   She is getting surgery day after finals on the 29th   Will be in a cast for 8 weeks and the 4 weeks of rehab  should be ready to go when practice starts.  Really mad at our doctors here in Minnesota who didn't have do a due test but just give her a cortisone shot.  She could have had this done before she left for college and who knows how being healthy would have done for her. 

She is just glad it's been diagnosed she felt people thought she was embellishing and that it was just sore   Kid is damn tough

Here is some geek information on the conference on seniors graduated and their loss scoring. This is only taking into account points per game.

Will go by most impact to the school who has it the best and might be in running for a title next year.

Worst  not quite in the same boat as Rose was last year but close is Hanover=Graduated 4 players  46 pts a game they averaged 66 pts as a team

Transylvania=Graduated 2 players  31 pts a game they averaged 72 pts as a team

Earlham=Graduated 5 players  28 pts a game they averaged 57 pts as a team

Manchester=Graduated 3 players  17 pts a game they averaged 57 pts as a team

Franklin=Graduated 3 players  17 pts a game they averaged 68 pts as a team

Anderson=Graduated 2 players  7 pts a game they averaged 55 pts as a team

Defiance=Graduated 2 players  31 pts a game they averaged 55 pts as a team

The team we love Rose=Graduated 1 players  10 pts a game they averaged 48 pts as a team. Rose struggled so mightily in the first half of the season scoring but i dont see with everyone coming back and the addition of another d-1 player how they are not in the 50's or if they all keep improving like they were in the 60's


THE TEAM IN THE CATBIRD SEAT

MOUNT ST JOESPH.  DIDNT  GRADUATE ANYONE.

You missed Bluffton who graduated 2 for 14 ppg

As far as the bad doctor diagnosis... I know the feeling. Had what was ultimately diagnosed as a frozen shoulder, initially doc said it was just a tendon in the rotator cuff and I went through physical therapy and it improved a bit but not a lot. Finally got sent to a specialist who diagnosed it. Had a procedure done in January after a full year of it being messed up. It's definitely better than it was, but there's still some pain and soreness not in the shoulder where it had been bad but around the area which I think is because of trying to compensate for a full year.

Hopefully it all goes well for her and she'll be ready to go next season.

Been a hospital filled time for the Grizzlies the past couple weeks. Two have had surgeries (one for hip, not sure for the other) and then a few days ago Carinne Henderson was in a motorcycle accident with serious injuries but is stable now. As of last night she was moving her left leg and arm and right toes. Still on a ventilator.
Get well soon ladies.

Hi Guys first Franklin I hope the young lady is doing better i havent seen a update on line.

Engine i hope you are doing well havent seen you on here for awhile. I have good news all the freshman are returning from last year which is great news those girls along with the D-1 recruit and the point guard they signed late  along with 4 other recruits who i have been told will help the club if anything at least they will be able to practice 5 on 5.

Everyone is healthy except Kahlan  she did end up playing all of last year with a partially torn ligament in her non shooting wrist she just got wires taken out and her second cast put on last Friday and will be out of that on July 28th and then rehab for 6 weeks and she should be ready to roll come the season. I was giving her crap about if her offense will improve now and she said well it cant get worse.  They are going to pound the ball alot inside  and i have been told the new d-1 recruit is a game changer so with their inside game and with Nola shooting and I am willing to guarantee my daughter will be  a much bigger scorer maybe not as much as she would be on other teams that look to shoot the three but she has always been fine with that. She is excited that maybe this is the year where she wont have to play point but can just bring the ball up on a rebound when their is a fast break they will still need her to help on the press her size allows her to pass over the top.

Some notes on the conference to keep your eye on.  Earlham and MSJ are in great financial troubles and I heard the same for Defiance and lesser extent Hanover.  Hopefully none of the schools will be cancelling their seasons. 


Frankilin I havent seen to many posts on other teams recruits have you heard anything has Hanover or Transy reloaded.

FCGrizzliesGrad

It's been up and down for Rin. She got pneumonia which pushed surgeries back a few days but had one today for her femur and hip. Hip apparently was worse than they thought so they didn't work on her arm which is now scheduled for Wednesday but otherwise sounds like the surgery went well.
Still a long recovery ahead... opened her eyes a few times yesterday. Updates at the FC WBB twitter


If any school was going to have financial troubles I'd have pegged Defiance as the obvious choice, their enrollment has plummeted in recent years to under 600. Earlham is a tricky one because I don't think athletics is particularly important to them.
While the endowments don't really matter too much as far as athletics goes, it's good to look at to see who's in good shape financially and who could be in trouble due to current events.
2018 US News endowments are listed as:
Earlham: $429.2M
RHIT: $213.5M
Transylvania: $174.6M
Hanover: $143.6M
Franklin: $87.6M
Manchester: $62.5M
Mount St Joseph: $39.7M
Anderson: N/A (best I can find is somewhere in the $30M range)
Bluffton: $25.3M
Defiance: $16.2M


Haven't really paid much attention to the incoming freshmen yet. I probably should start taking a look.

I was told earlHam is signicantly in debt that is why they cancelled their tennis and golf teams

Defiance had only something like 90 commitment s for this year

Schools mentioned on are on many of our's watch lists. That said, the next few weeks will determine who will be open likely the next academic year. I think we will hear more closures - though, not sure those in this conference will be of concern. The real time table to watch is the next academic year ... the true impact may be felt as we get closer to the traditional second semester and into that semester on what the futures may be for many schools.
