  1. Furq! USF? Someone please explain that to me. The loss of all the assistants makes me wonder if our recruiting isn't taking a real hit.
  2. As long as we get that talent. We need to place an order for a center, an off guard and a back-up point please. Oh, and about 5 coaches. Thanks @Rickylovesweed @texasstrong12 twitter?
  3. Yeah, I think the seniors were obviously happy here, but the program is the people and their senior teammates just left and right now the coaching staff is down to just the Vic and Blair show so their program ties aren't as tight. They probably feel like they did what they wanted to do here and it's a good time for a change and to expand relationships and opportunities. Glad for Audrey, sad for us. I hope they let her take her collars with her.... Just wish the program didn't feel like it's losing more each day and not gaining anything positive. It's the nature of the timing at this part of the year but throw us a bone dammit.
  4. I don't think anyone including JAT was surprised, just would have been nice. With her name in the WNBA hat other leagues know she is available and the elite 8 run certainly put her on some folks radar. A lot of these girls seem to play overseas but sadly I'm not sure the climate is as inviting as it was a short time ago. But JAT will find her way.
  5. WNBA draft tonight. Go JAT! Hope someone picks her up. No one cares more or works harder.
  6. Hope so, we are trending in the wrong direction. 😀 Glad to see all the women get new positive opportunities.
  7. Welp, it's getting mighty quiet at the Texas WBB offices.
  8. Lattimore plays much longer than Ebo but yeah, she's not going to be keeping big girls out of the paint. Even with adding some weight, her frame isn't made for that. (Don't want her getting so big she can't dunk.. 😁) Gonna have to be center by committee with Gaston, Lattimore and Moore, but like @Js1 says Vic probably already has a plan. I gave us a chance 50% to keep Ebo but don't want to hang on to a player for one more year if it stops a 4 year good player from coming. I hope the loss of assistants isn't affecting our team negatively.
  9. Yeah, where she ends up should give us a better indication of why she left. I didn't see this coming. Could be academic, wanted to be geographically elsewhere for some reason, or sometimes it can be that the player didn't get to the next level at their present school and thinks the next stop might help them get there. Shouldn't be for playing time unless we have a new center transfer coming in (Yes please). I'm liking Moore, Gaston and Lattimore but those are more PFs. Masudi only had 71 minutes all year and most of those were at the beginning of the year in easy games, I'm not counting on her at this point but hopefully I am wrong. I will miss Ebo.
  10. Coaching position opening posted 4 days ago (4/4) with a state minimum number of 10 days a job opening is required to be posted before a hire can be announced. Also says(?): Earliest Start Date: Apr 11, 2022
  11. Rumors of an old assistant coming back. Might be Elena Lovato, don't know. Could be smoke.
  12. Latasha Dunking Sorry, don't know how to post an Instagram video "Coming off an ACL injury I never thought I would be the same person that I was before. But after working with @zszillner I’ve seen incredible progress. This is my first time trying after December 2 and I’m blown away !"
  13. I'm thinking Tina is ready to take a lesser role than head coach for a while. That didn't play out so well so I'm thinking that's a good possibility, with name bling and familiarity with the 40. Nneka Enemkpali I'm in. Someone elsewhere mentioned Chelsea Newton as a long shot due to the Joni Taylor ties but would be really good. Solid.
  14. When we played Stanford they had 17 girls on their roster.
  15. Furq! Wow, all positive moves for the right reasons but what a hit. Gives a lot of uncertainty to our recruiting. Vic may need oxygen. But honestly if you're an assistant coach what a great place to be. I bet we even pay well.
  16. Not sure about that Maryland pick today. This may need updating ESPNW...
  17. Sadly true. This is all so good and so bad. Good to be winning and so our assistants are in demand, coaches want to come here as a stepping stone to head positions and want to learn under Vic. Bad for lack of continuity which certainly hurts a program, the kids and possible recruits get attached and lose that bond. Could affect some choices to stay or go. New coaches have to learn the system and adjust to possible new roles. Bad timing for Vic, trying to recruit and work the portal while looking for potential candidates for his staff. But he has been around a long time and has many connections and I'll bet Blair adds a lot of stability and carries more responsibility than her title conveys. Can't fault the assistants at all, glad they are getting the opportunists. I'm still waiting for Calamity to be hired, I thought that was coming right after DJD.
  18. Wow, poor Vic. Got his hands full right now.
  19. Maybe damage control after Ashley's tweet showing how the team likes him and he knows them. Indirectly addressing the issue in a positive manner, very UT. I was hoping some of the team would post support for the program, this will work though, a nice group effort. Very fun, loved it. Thanks @LTtxfan
  20. If Ebo or Warren wanted to go to the WNBA the time has passed for them to declare. Doesn't mean they are thinking of staying but just another marker.
