WBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

As for Platteville's recruiting class....
It looks like they've added some depth in the backcourt -- where there could be a happy logjam next season -- and some much-needed height up front. 
In any event, it'll be a much different team from the past couple years.  Losing Holly Kaiser will do that.

PS:  When's the last time UWP got four WBCA All-Stars in a single recruiting class?

MrDT- I've heard of three players going to Oshkosh and none are 6'0". Was that a joke or are there some big kids as well.

Platteville looks like they did a good job with their class. The girl from Cuba City had been rumored to not be playing bball in college. Apparently not the case. They said the same about Hunter from La Crosse playing volleyball and not basketball last year. Thankfully she chose BBall.

I was suprised to see the Oshkosh assistant leave bball. From what my buddy here at LaX says, she was pretty good. On that note he's also leaving La Crosse to go to UW-Parkside. So I lost my "source." Maybe laxeaglepride will be able to give us the scoop next season. Not sure what the players thought of him but I know he had a lot to do with the past few recruiting classes. He's not swaying me over to www.d2basketball.com however.

Also saw in the paper here that former Whitewater and La Crosse assistant Angie Russell got a D1 assistant job at Cleveland State.

Okay that's enough assistant coach news for now. Slow news day huh?

[laxeaglepride]

yes billys we are going to miss your inside man...he is a great guy that will do well anywhere he goes...

and as for me I will try to keep you informed from the LaX camp

[BBall Coach]

I was fortunate enough to get to work with Kris while I was at UW-O. I will say that she is one of the best coaches I know. Stout has found an excellent person to run this new program. Good Luck Schoonie!

Whoops, make it five WBCA All-Stars going to Platteville....

Guess it's a good thing that UW-P has one heck of an assistant coach to do all that recruiting then.

Just over a month before practice begins............. with pre-season in full effect, have their been any drastic changes in newcomers? Or rosters in general for that matter?

[buf]

Not that I know of!

[hoops49]

Nothing more than the usual tons of recruits for some of the schools.  Plus you have tryouts in the middle of October and that might factor into it.

[Illinihoops4]

typically pre-season "conditioning" or captains practices as some call them usually weed some of those "recruits" out.
Looking forward to things getting started.

I am as well, but in football mode right now.

[Bballer]

Well, i heard through the grape vine that Steph Becker and Elle Bailey (recruit) quit the UWEC team. 

[wisconsinball]

UWEC has had a ton of turnover over the last few years, what is up with that?!  I heard that a few other upperclassmen might not be playing either.

[buf]

Englund tends to recruit more players than outgoing seniors.  There were only 2 seniors last year and I believe something like 7 recruits this year.  This makes it difficult for some to make the team much less get solid playing time.  For players who are quitting this early, I assume that they don't want to put in the time (workouts) if they may not even make the team.  UWEC has had some turnover in recent years, but it is ususally the players at the end of the bench.
