I'm sure he wanted to get the story straight quick, since he just left a situation where an ineligible player was used during the season.

He has walked into a very good situation. If he can get the ladies to buy into whatever system he runs, and can work through his guard situation, skys the limit in my opinion. He has size, shooters, and quickness. Ball handling is my only worry, if they face a team who presses full court.

How is Mel during in her school work? When is the Coach going to decide whether or not she is going to be allowed to come back and play. She is working out with them in open gym, but has not yet been added back to the roster.

So what is up with dropping the name "Lady Scots" and "Fighting Scots"? I am not fond of this change. The new logos are OK. The one with the sword is probably the best but I agree with kid in the DT who was quoted as saying that it was like the Titans logo.
I think it could have been better, oh well.

But why give up the term "Lady Scots"? Anyone know? Well, they'll always be the Lady Scots to me and I suppose I am stubborn enough to keep using the phrase. Maybe they have a better name in mind?

Just a small rant about something that will not mean anything once the Lady Scots take the floor!

Mr. Grubb asked if I knew any news of the Lady Scots...

not much, I'm afraid. I don't see Mel on the roster and I'm think she may be taking time to make the grade. While I want to see her on the floor and I think we NEED her on the floor, my biggest concern is that she makes the grade.
I do not want to lose another Lady Scot because of grades and have some "would-be Jr. or Sr." out there with no degree AND debt up to her eyeballs (from 2 and 3 years of college) with limited resources to repay her debts. No, as much as I want to see her or any other player play ball, I want that educaton to be in the forefront.

Here is to hoping for good grades! I can't wait for the season to start!

Anyone been around during open gym? How are they looking?

I hear Mel is working out with the team even though she is not listed on the roster yet. Makes me think she will not be available until after New Year and grades comes out. Coach is high on grades, which is great. I hear the Mikels kid might push Saxe for minutes in the post.

This is what was alluded to about Mel to me also.

Saw them running Tuesday night but that was all I saw...

In the MAC thread section , The Women's DIII News pre-season Top-25 poll has Maryville listed as the #23 team in the nation.

Practice officially starts today!!!

This board is so dead. I hope it wakes up when the women start playing!!

I keep looking to see if anyone knows anything and shares it here! Since I do not, I do not.

MCScotsFan · November 10, 2006, 03:02:13 PM

LOL, ScottieDoug, me neither. I can't wait to find out though.

A few more weeks...

scottiedoug · November 16, 2006, 01:33:01 PM

Scots' website shows Mel Uner on the team, along with only 11 others, not including the incoming post player from Sevier Co. Only two posts on the squad....

Losing the freshman Mikels kid, the post player from Seymour, (she transfered) will hurt. Also, freshman Alex may be out for the year with a ACL injury. Munday still hurting but playing. They should win both games in Virginia.

scottiedoug · November 17, 2006, 10:48:00 AM

Losing Alex Walker means there are few guards who can help Beth Reed handle the ball (I am assuming that was one of her strenghts but have not seen her play). Any idea why Mikels left?

GottaHaveHeart · November 17, 2006, 02:11:34 PM

I believe the Mikels kid wanted to pursue her studies in nursing, so she was going to transfer to another school to do. Not sure if she has left campus yet or not.

Alex would have given Beth a few minutes of rest. She is a freshman still learning, but was working hard and doing a good job according to the Coach. Her biggest strength was on the defensive side using her quickness pressuring the ball.

8pm....Alex called. MC won first game. I don't have a score.

Congrats Ladies!!! Nice start......keep it going....
