Kolek planning to go pro
No surprise with DePaul being picked the preseason favorite and Seton Hall's Shadeen Samuels is the preseason POY in the Big Easthttp://www.bigeast.com/news/2019/10/10/womens-basketball-depaul-unanimously-selected-bigeastwbb-preseason-favorite.aspxhttp://www.bigeast.com/news/2019/10/10/womens-basketball-seton-halls-samuels-selected-big-east-preseason-player-of-the-year.aspxNow the two things that did surprise me was the preseason freshman of the year - Marquette's Jordan King and Marquette getting picked 9th. I didn't think any of the 6 frosh who stayed after Kieger left were highly rated enough to garner an honor like that (their highest rated recruit that Kieger originally signed ended up at Virginia). And while I know Marquette lost a lot to graduation, I can't believe they got picked below Xavier of all teams. Xavier has been just awful the last few years.Marquette's Selena Lott was also named to the preseason BE first team - for some reason they have 11 players on there in the preseason for the Women - postseason honors are smaller sizes for firs team.
Any relation to Jamil Lott who played here under Crean?
Shouldn't this thread be in Hanging in the Al?
They are not gonna be great this year...
The Illinois kids are good. Taylor played on the state powerhouse so she knows how to play with others at her skill level.King carried Hononegah kicking and screaming to a third place finish at state last year. That team was her and nobody else.
They have a lot of games early and next host Illinois State at 2P Sunday - that will probably be a very small crowd with it conflicting with the Packers game.
I haven’t seen the team yet this year, but it looks like they are a lot better than expected (second to last in BE is a low bar). True?
The girls youth team I coach is scrimmaging during halftime of the Women's game on Sun. I'm not sure if a small crowd is a good or bad thing for us.
