Wbb '22-23

All quiet on the western front.

I haven’t heard a peep which is normal for John Cunningham.

Well, UC has never been able to recruit good WBB players to the program. It really doesn't matter who the coach is - they need players. I want WBB to succeed. Just as I want all UC sports programs to succeed. Heading to the Big12, we have some work to do. Womens Tennis got 3 very highly rated recruits who are now freshmen. No results yet. Baseball...today's beat down of XU was great, but overall still not there. Was great for the success of T&F. Wish we could stumble across a few more like Jordan Thompson.

Am I asking for too much?

What do we as fans do, or can we do, to help other than donations? I realize that UC will not win everything every year. I just want to see us being competitive. Is that asking too much?

Anything on the new women's basketball coach yet?

Yeah, I mounted up a large twitter thread on this today. Rather than retype it all, you can see what I wrote plus responses here:

Not surprised. I thought she would be a good coach but for some reason the program never progressed under her leadership.

I haven't followed the team. How did the Scott sisters do this year?

Jayden Scott: Played in 28 of the 29 games, starting 11 ... 3.5 ppg, 2.2 rpg.

Jada Scott: Played in 27 games, starting 7 ... 1.7 ppg, 1.6 rpg.

Hopefully that’ll hold up

The program had a lot of injuries two years ago which led to an 8-16 Covid shortened record. You could argue that this season might be an improvement. We have 5 seniors departing including the Scott twins. Someone on Twitter mentioned that any good player in the region that is good enough for D-1 headds to the B1G. Need to fix the local recruiting. We are not a destination program at all right now. even in our own backyard The program dropped off a cliff after I'Marii Thomas graduated.

I've heard some rumors about things that were said to the team by folks that were demotivational in general. Not sure how true that is but going into the Big 12 you have wonder if Clark-Heard gets a 6th year.

Regular season ends at 9-20, 2-14 AAC... #11 seed (last seed) in next week's AAC WBB tourney.

From a W/L perspective, you'd have thought things might have improved once UConn left for the Big East. Instead, the results have been worse.
