Kolek planning to go pro
Scott Merritt returns to the state becoming assistant coach at UW for new coach Marisa Moseley - the release says he will be associate head coach.
Wow. Complete betrayal of all things Marquette stands for!
Devoting time to the poor and downtrodden is the type of service Marquette values.
Selena Lott is projected to be taken by the Indiana Fever early in the third round of next week’s WNBA draft. She looks to be the 4th MU player ever drafted. Unfortunately the odds are against her making a team if she’s not drafted until the third round. There are a lot of second round picks who don’t make teams. Natidha Hiedeman is the only MU player to play in the WNBA so far. Former player Nicki (Taggart) Collen does coach in the league though.And former MU coach Jim Jabir is set to return to Siena where he coached in the late 80’s before coming to MU. He was there when Mike Deane was also at Siena as I recall. Jabir took MU to the NCAA tournament for the first time ever in 1994 and they went again in 1995. He was something like 8-20 his last season here but had a stellar recruiting class coming in for 96-97 that his former assistant Terri Mitchell then coached.
Jabir had a brief run at MUWBB that included three good seasons. He overlapped K.O. at Marquette.Kristen Maskala, Goerlitz, Romeiser etc in the back court. I believe Lori Goerlitz and Courtney Romeiser are still on the all time 3 point lists. Kerri Reeves, Christine Kennedy, Steph Krumrei etc..others..some nice teams MUWBB hadn’t really had much of before.Steph’s daughter Caroline (Dragani) is on the Marquette Women’s Volleyball team. She was a mid year transfer after leading the Big Sky Conference setters as a Freshman at Portland State. She has a younger sister too that’s an up and coming volleyball player. Their older brother Ben was a former Wisconsin baseball gatorade player of the year and Freshman All American at Michigan. He’s trying to get back from injury. He was in the mix for #2 or or #3 starter on their College World Series team that lost in the Finals to Vandy but he had to injury redshirt. No hoopers like their parents. Steph Krumrei and Pat Dragani are two of the nicer people I have ever known from Marquette.
Oh no - this is not good news . I thought Taylor had great potential and was looking forward to seeing her play a couple more years:https://twitter.com/Raoul_000/status/1381376334950236161
This would be unfortunate. We'll have to see what happens.
I wonder what caused her to enter the Transfer Portal ???
UConn assistant Shea Ralph is expected to be the new Head Coach at Vandy. Her husband Tom Garrick, a former Vandy assistant, is expected to join her too. Some of the other finalists included U Cincinnati Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard, Oregon assistant Mark Campbell (his wife is former Vandy hooper, Ashley Smith), Tennessee assistant Lacey Goldwire.Vandy's AD is a former Vandy Women's hooper (2 time Elite 8) and did her own search with staff.
Maybe LVK's return!?!
Does WNBA draftees/players have the same gravitas in recruiting that it does on the men's side? I mean now that MU's got a WNBA player, and potentially a second if training camp goes well, does that start to turn into a bump in recruiting?
Former Marquette assistant Ashley Earley (2010-2012), more recently on Carolyn Kieger’s staff at Penn St., will join Shea Ralph’s staff at Vandy. (She’s a former All American player at Vandy)
