Just saw that Joaquin Strong transferred to Fullerton JC. He red-shirted last year as a freshman and I assume, with the additions of similar sized wings Pablo Tamba (JUCO) and Marsalis Roberson (Cal), that playing time was going to be tight.
yeah verbal commits is showing Beasley as transferred out. Doesn’t feel like he reached his full potential at ucd (injuries) so hopefully he lands at a good spot.
yeah just saw that. Interesting signing as you would think there’s not a lot of perimeter minutes available. He’s also a qb. Is he going to try and play two sports at ucd?
Well not a new recruit, but good news from the Women's Facebook page:
@lenasvanholm was recently accepted into UC Davis’ Ph.D program for Chemistry and Chemical Biology and to make things even better, she’s back for another year!
Assuming she's healthy next season, she will really help our inside game. On a side note, Div 1 basketball and Ph.D. student? Hope she doesn't plan to sleep much.
my initial thought was “oh man that sucks”. Then I realized that mid June is only two weeks away. Still sucks that she can’t capitalize on her starting gig, but hopefully she’s back strong in a few weeks
It will be interesting...I remember back with Hawkins' senior year, he had the ball in his hands, initiating the offense, a lot more than previously. I don't know if Les said this at the time, or if it was my own assumption, but it seemed like the change was due to feed back Hawkins received from Pros, wanting him to show more ball handling skills. Pepper probably got a lot of valuable feedback over the last few months, so it'll be interesting to see if we can spot any changes to his game on the court.
