Chad Brendel and crew had a great interview with Katrina Merriweather on their podcast earlier this week. It was very interesting to learn about her time as a UC women's player, coaching journey, and vision for the program ahead. It seems like we're in great hands going forward.

^^^ I think many/most on here will root for any team that dons the C Paw. But few are consistently watching WBB and baseball/actually closely monitoring games. Until there is a consistent interest/demand to follow on a game-by-game basis, I think how things are structured now make the most sense.

I think more people would follow women's bball and men's baseball if there were channels on this forum in order to do so. If expanding this site needs to come to a vote count me as a yea.

I believe a separate thread for WBB and baseball are warranted. I would be in favor of it but as Lobot wrote, it's up to the owners of the site. Stay tuned, I guess.

Is it possible to add WBB as a forum topic on the forum page? We can see if that add helps drive traffic, at least here.

It's been a while since we added another forum channel. I'm open to the idea of this and Baseball being separate channels if people want it. I'd contact the server admin before attempting this because...

My hesitation here is that I don't want want to blow up the whole site accidentally while adding features. This thing is kinda held together with duct tape and chicken wire and I don't own the place.

Wow Brent, you're a lot older than you look. According to the GoBearcats.com article she played in the 1800's "Obringer (1884-89) holds the program...."

It's been 84 years

The time has come to pay more attention here. Interst in the Women's program has been trending up for a while.

In the last two two recruiting cycles Katrina Merriweather and her staff have recruited a 2024 4 star scoring PG in Chloe Mann out of of Duncanville TX and a 2025 5 star guard in Dee Alexander out of Purcell Marian. Pair this with multiple visits from highly rated transfer players and I think this program should be headed back to the NCAA tournament pretty shortly.

I'd even be bold enough to say as of the date my posting this that Katrina Merriweather is out recruiting Wes Miller.

I guess you can never have too many good guards, but does Wes still have eligibility?

Thanks for opening this thread. It’s great to learn the Women’s program is on the up-tick
