WBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[foul_language]

Silva must have had all her points in the first half; saw her make, possibly, 3 in the second. Couldn't hit the basket with a funnel. H-S looked like Friday night's R-M and R-M looked like Friday night's Stout. Of course, that was second half. Didn't see the first.

I see the sun; it's hazy, but I'm sure that's what it is.

I was following the "live stats" for the game last night.  Orton picked up 2 quick fouls, and it looked like she sat the rest of the half.  When starting the 2nd, she scored 10 points in the first 4min or so.  RMC was down 10 at half, but made a quick run to go up by 1 with 15min or so left.  HS grabbed the lead back and had the game in control for the rest of the game.  Silva was only 7-23 from the field.

How is Stout's 06-07 recruiting class of 62 kids coming thus far?

Kim Stokke (Menomonie) to Stout
6'0" Samantha Mayer (Bloomer) to Stout

The next 60 to come at a later date 


5'6" Krystal Parr (Bloomer) to River Falls over Stout.  In a newspaper article she said, "I would have gone to Stout, but they have like 20 guards."

5'11" J. Lindner (Neillsville) to UWEC.  She played in the state tourney this past weekend.


Any other recruiting info???

Anyone go to the state tourney???

[badgerwarhawk]

I was at the state tournament and saw every team play at least once.   There were some nice players but overall the talent level was not as good as past tournaments.  Most of the games were boring blow outs or if they were close it was because both teams were turning the ball over constantly or neither could shoot to save their souls.

However my wife is a teacher at Waterford so she was excited to see them make it to the championship game.  Then, with victory within their grasp, the best point guard at the state tournament turns the ball over and they lose.

What does next year look like?

Stout loses Molly Hendricks, Steph Nemitz, Sarah Miles, Brit Evert.

Stout keeps Kelsey Duoss and the Geisslers, among others.

And recruits.

[laxeaglepride]

I am not 100% about this but I would believe that La Crosse will be the only team not losing any players.  That should play a big role in confrence play next year...

[foul_language]

What does Oshkosh look like? Stevens Point had many young players, I thought.

LaCrosse will be impressive if they not only have everyone coming back but also have a year of playing together; Eau Claire was very young this year.

[billys]

A couple people ran this on the guys board so I'll throw them out. They will definitely change are there's more news on recruits and newcomers. Based only on what current teams have coming back, my picks would be something like this.

Stout
La Crosse
River Falls
Point
EC
Whitewater
Oshkosh
Platteville
Superior

Stout has to be the favorite although losing Molly could be huge. Toughness and leadership alone.

2-5 is very tough. La Crosse has everyone back and adds an injured post player. Plus as FL said, they've all played together a year. River Falls is often forgotten but they would probably have finished third without the injury to their their best player.Point will finish better than fourth I think, I just don't know where to put them with the loss of Schultz. Wouldn't surprise me if their tradition got them second. Eau Claire was young but they still may have to get over the hump with some of these kids. Still weird they made their run when Burns got hurt. 

WW returns basically all but one player and will be dangerous. Oshkosh and Platteville suffered the most senior losses and will have to regroup a bit. Superior is Superior. By the way, did they get a coach yet.

At any rate, they will all probably change when the names of recruits come out. Haven't heard about any kids to La Crosse yet. I'll have to see what I can dig up.

[foul_language]

Re:Superior. I heard, on the D3 boards by the way, that they hired a men's coach. Odd the school hasn't released anything, but then they didn't report the women's coach's resignation until about two months later or more. I know they have had interviews, but there's absolutely no talk where I am.

Still, they have a recruiting deficit, so even with outstanding coaches, they'll have to pull together teams from what they have or what they can drum up between now and August.

Having LaCrosse's post return to the line up might actually create some initial chaos, but I suspect that will get ironed out in the preseason. Platteville is always tough but has trouble sustaining it throughout the season. I suppose that reflects more on the parity of the conference than an individual team, because all of the schools seem to have peaks and valleys when you least expect them.

It's tough waiting until next season to see how it will unfold.

[foul_language]

In an absolutely unprecedented show of unnecessary hoopla, UW-Superior announced today that the athletic director will hold a press conference Monday to announce the new men's basketball coach.  That's like a warning that there will be a warning coming out.

No word on the women's coach; haven't seen anything since the search committee(s) invited people in to listen to presentations by two candidates. Bush would be proud of such security.

Security is heightened by apathy: no leaks if no one is listening to the information.

Are you sure Krystal Parr is going to UWRF? The Leader-Telegram last Sunday said she was going to Stout.

[foul_language]

UWS hired a UW-Parkside assistant coach (Dave Buchanen?) to head men's basketball and, at the same time, announced it had hired a women's coach, but wouldn't reveal that name until Friday, 31 March. I haven't even heard speculation on who that is. Perhaps someone in the DIII hoops network already knows and could shed some light on the subject.

From what I have heard, Krystal Parr was not even recruited by Stout

and

Sam Mayer will be playing basketball at Stout.

I metioned this in my quoted post, just before your post!

Perhaps the L-T got Parr mixed up with Mayer since they both played at Bloomer.  Who knows???  I guess we will find out next fall.
