Another Chima article, this one from the Sporting News

Don’t know for sure, but I just saw a pic of him on Twitter working out at pre-draft camp.

From New England Recruiting

Shaw, the son of longtime NBA player and coach Brian Shaw, was widely under-recruited prior to arriving in Wolfeboro this fall. In fact, he didn't hold a D1 offer at all. That all changed quickly this fall when college coaches started attending open gyms at Brewster.

A versatile perimeter player with good size, athleticism, skill, and the ability to play multiple positions, Shaw earned offers from high academic schools in Patriot League, CAA, and Horizon League.

He carved out a role in the Bobcats rotation this winter and solidified his spot, not just as a division I caliber talent, but one who was just starting to tap into his potential. UC Davis allowed him the opportunity to pursue his dream of playing division I basketball but to do so in his home state of California.

I hope you're right...and I trust the history of this staff finding guys like Chima and Shorts. I think Mooney was lightly recruited, too, if my memory serves me, and he's turned into a reliable piece of the puzzle.

17 sounds right. I'd imagine all the freshman (4) redshirt, bringing the active roster to 13. After having to use a backup shooting guard to play significant minutes at power forward last year, it'll be really nice to have a deep and reliable bench.

Yeah, that's a good point. Must be a good reason why they announced his addition.

Gone...Chima/Michael/Arell/Strom In...Squire/Fuller/Shaw/Ba

I couldn’t find anything either. Strikes me as a walk-on guy. Staff must see something they think they can develop.

good research. Looks like another solid pickup. I do wonder if we lost another player to transfer.

Another 6’5” wing. I like the trend of good size wings

that’s a good point. I would of thought he’d have 4 years left also. Wonder if it was just a typo.

Part of me is hoping that Strom”s transfer signals the development of Underwood. Just judging by his junior college numbers and video he looks like he could be the next transfer star for Les

So this is strictly my thoughts...no inside info. Over the years, Les has started two "bigs" and at most, brings in two big men off the bench. Assuming that holds, we'll start Goode and John next year (both seniors), with Russell (Senior), Underwood (Junior), and Neufield (Junior) coming off the bench. Not a whole lot of court time for Strom next year. Having said that, you do think if he had done his time on the bench, his court time could have increased over the next few years (kind of like Michael this past year).

Additionally, if you look at the current state of college basketball, a lot of teams are going to a lineup of five almost interchangeable pieces. Nevada, who did really well in the tournament, basically had 5 guys right around 6'7". I don't know if Les is moving that way, but with the recent recruits, Nelson at 6'4", Jackson at 6'6", Fuller at 6'6", to go along with John 6'8", Underwood 6'8", that gives us a very athletic lineup. I liked what I saw (briefly) from Strom...he seemed to have a good shot, but he might have been just a step slow to play the way we want to play now.

Or, of course, there might be something totally un-related that caused the move. Whatever the reason, I hope he finds what he's looking for in Omaha.

Doesn’t surprise me. He was going to be way down on the big man depth chart. Good luck to him in Omaha

He looks great on film...don't know the level of competition, but I do like the way he finishes at the basket. Certainly looks like he has the skills that the coaching staff can develop.

10 Best mid-major games from 2017-18

The other two additions that i've seen for next year are Cierra Jo McKeown from Walla Walla Community college, a 5'9" guard who shot over 43% from beyond the arc last year and dropped 43 points in their most recent tournament game; and Makaila Sanders from Sac area, who sounds like she'll be the point guard of the future. You can see write ups of both at here

I'll take a crack to start things off.

Probably the biggest new face will be Sage Stobbart, a 6'3" red shirt freshman from Canada. She was highly recruited and sat out this year (similar to how Bertch sat out her freshman year). I imagine she'll get most of the Marly Anderson backup minutes, although if she is as good as they say, we might be seeing both her and Bertch at the same time.

There is Katy Toole, a transfer from utah State, who is supposed to have a great outside shot. I kind of think of her as a replacement for Nagel (about the same size).

Kayla Konrad, a 6'0" redshirt freshman. Don't know much about her, but I like the size and hopefully she can contribute next year. I know there is another JC transfer (I think the first JC transfer for the women's team in the D1 era) but I don't know her name off hand. I think I read she has a good outside shot.

That's all I got time for right now. Next...

It might be nice to go to this tournament and not play the best team in round one.

Didn’t we lose to Stanford in the first round of the nit a few years ago and they went on to win the whole thing?

Road trip!

Proud of this team and what they accomplished this year. Hope the program continues to build.
