Women's Team

[ValpoHoops]

Two potentially good additions. This puts us at 16 players so someone is out. I am assuming Godwin who has been injured her entire career.

That leaves 4 open scholarships, and we have 6 incoming players.  Who will be leaving?

OK.  I was thinking it was 14 scholarships for the women, vice 13 for the men.  It is actually 15 for the women.  I'm sure IndyValpo is correct with the Godwin guess.  If she is a good student, I'm sure they will take care of her.

Godwin will leave team but stay at Valpo. Anne Hamilton is going to transfer.

I expect that Jessi Wiedemann has played her final game as well, due to lingering injury issues.

I see from an Indy Star story posted about Derrik Smits playing in an exhibition game at the famous Hoosiers Gym in Knightstown (from this thread http://www.valpofanzone.com/forum/index.php?topic=2176.msg59236;topicseen#new ) that Allison Schofield, a Valpo women's recruit from Heritage Christian School in Indy, will be playing in the girls' game of the Hoosiers' Reunion Classic for the Hickory Huskers team.

Per Twitter we received 2 verbals yesterday. Anyone know who?

[Dutch55]

I think 4 total for 2016 now. Not sure who they all are.

[Dutch55]

Marlee Profitt
Grace Hales
Caitlyn Morrison

Some impressive height out of some guards and forwards.

[FWalum]

On paper it would appear that the additions to next seasons team could improve this squad enough to place them in the top 3 or 4 teams in conference.  It will be interesting to see if the coaches can meld together all of this young talent.

Yeah, two at 6'1" and one at 6'2".  Caitlin Morrison's dad, Scott Morrison apparently played at Valpo in the early 90's (from a newspaper article)

I had heard that the girl from Iowa had a change of heart and has left the campus. Anyone else hear that?

and now Addison Stroller!!  That's 5 commits from 2016 girls! It's about time for some boys!

[ValpoFan101]

Grace was first 2016 to commit. Tall, but seems to be knock down 3 pt shooter. Her dad played football/ basketball at IU

Stoller as opposed to Stroller...

Godwin will leave team but stay at Valpo. Anne Hamilton is going to transfer.

Have any of these rumors been confirmed?

FYI, the News-Gazette is from the Champaign/Urbana area and Cissna Park is a small town of 800 population in Illinois that lies between Paxton, Hoopeston, Watseka and Gilman on the eastern side of Illinois just off I-57 on IL route 49.

Good Question. I believe, unless someone knows otherwise, that Marburger has left campus and returned to Iowa. Maybe another situation like "Ladd".

[IndyValpo]

Let's hope not, she seemed like the top recruit.

However counting scholarships we should only have four for 2016 available and Stoller would be #5....not a good sign.

Yeah, I agree. She may have been the pick of the litter this year. Looks like they may have gone after Stoller to replace someone.

[Pgmado]

Yes, Marburger is gone. Godwin is not on the team. Wiedemann is a work in progress.

I like the look of this one!

I haven't seen it posted yet that Green Bay will host all women's tournament games: http://www.horizonleague.org/blog/green-bay-to-host-2016-horizon-league-womens-basketball-championship

[jack]

It's been posted. GB will be hosting the Women's Tournament. The 15-16 schedule has been posted as well. Glancing over it, I can see where it could be a rough go early. Unless we've made major improvements over the summer, It could be game 7 before we have a shot at a "W". I hope I am wrong.

[vu72]

Well at least the women accomplished something the men will never be able to do.  Get ND to come to the ARC!!

The first six have some killers.

We will get rolled by Notre Dame and Louisville, both top 10 last year. San Diego and Northern Colorado won over 20 games last year and played in the WNIT.

We bombed Butler last year but they improved steadily to 14-16. Their top scorer did not return (might have been kicked off). They will be young 6 of 11 players are freshman.

Our best chance is Miami who was 7-23 of course we got destroyed by them last year in Oxford.

[valpotx]

Wow, this is a lot of changes in the women's game!  I am on board with all changes, except the two shots for every common foul, and the choice to advance the ball to the frontcourt in the final 59.9 seconds.  I assume that this has something to do with trying to increase offense and match the international game?
