What will be there position coming into next season,we do have darice on the team and since price is gray shirt we should have a real solid looking team,post play is a major issue though. Need tall thick players with good upside who arent afraid to get physical

That would be a good question for Jody's weekly radio call-in show. Not having seen either of these young ladies play it is pretty hard to say how they will fit in. Alie Decker sounds a little bit like Sarah Nelson at Creighton. My guess is they will be playing the 3/4 positions depending on matchups. Perhaps being brought in to take some of Chynna's minutes in the future.

Your right we could use a tall, strong post player or two. Had one last year in 6'4" Freshman Shannika Bryant but she left the program 7 games into the year which was quite disappointing. Not sure what the story was with Shannika and not sure what her status is currently as far as basketball goes.

Technically, Michelle is a medical redshirt. My understanding is a gray shirt is an incoming freshman commit that delays enrollment until the middle of the school year.

The starting line up changes every game,we see that diamond and lankster can score at will. But who carries the load after them....once haley leaves we will need a true inside presence,jas plays soft sometimes,chynna isn't agressive,kelsy needs more pt.......who else are we recruiting??

Assistant Coach Kristy Guffey filled in for Jody on her radio show tonight as Jody was out on the recruiting trail. Kristy is the program's recruiting corrdinator and she did spend a little time discussing recruiting. She spoke very highly of both of our incoming freshman Alie Decker and Michaela Dapprich.

Sounds like we are pretty much done with the Class of 2012. We only lose Haleigh and Alicia from this year's team and, in addition to the two incoming freshman, we add Darice Fountaine to the mix and we get Michelle Price back.

Kristy said they have been focusing very much on the Class of 2013 as we will be replacing 5 seniors next year. She did say they would be willing to add another player to the Class of 2012 if a too good to pass up player came along, although I would say that is a long shot.

Yea help is needed on the inside I know that darice is going to be a baller for the team next year,outside of diamond will anybody else be truly aggressive and we need consistency from the 3 point line.....WE NEED A TRUE CENTER COACH ADAMS AND STAFF!!!
