Future Rosters

[bigticket1]

I guess time will tell. obviously, having some cash to throw around sure never hurts

BUT
Kansas was 16-14, 6-12 in conference, and Elle Evans is the tallest returning player

SDSU- 30-4, yep THIRTY and 4
ranked in both polls to end the season
returning 4 players with significant PT including 2 starters
been to TWELVE NCAA in the last 15 years including 3 in a row

and I do believe we have reached the point that if AJ believes someone is the correct fit that we do have at least a little money to put in the pot

clearly EVERY player will have their own priorities, but I dont think it is all that hard to find some players that would be interested in joining a 30 win team that has more than a legit shot to go to the NCAA EVERY year. I think the other piece of the puzzle is that it is pretty clear that AJ aint just throwing the net out there and taking the first 6'3+ girl to come along. the fit matters to him


finally, I would be incredibly curious to know the thought process on this one. that seems like a rather tough sell to me. how good was the cash and if cash is THE priority was there not a single other school that could offer cash that was close that would seem to have a much better shot at going to the NCAA next year?

If she's a back to the basket true post player, she maybe wants to go somewhere where she can start and play big minutes. At SDSU she would likely be coming off the bench and backing up Brooklyn. And we saw when starting Brooklyn and Kallie that the offense suffered when playing two posts together. So who can blame Meister if she can go to a Big XII school, play big minutes and get some cash.

Pulling a legit post out of the portal is going to be tough for the Jacks because you are competing with big schools that got cash and a need for good post players!

I see Lilly Meister hit the portal today at Indiana. 6'3 her parents both played ball for the Jacksabbits, Kurt Meister and Angie Swenson. Not sure we are looking either, but found it interesting enough to share. I would not be against looking into it.

Meister to Kansas.

Opportunity there to play more, which she wants to obviously do. Good luck Jenna, see you next season on the court.

Good luck Jenna. Hope she finds what she is looking for. Seemed like a great girl. Alex Flattery signed with them too. I believe she was on the AAU team with 4 of the freshman that signed with SDSU last year so there will be a lot of familiar faces when the teams play each other.

Jenna Hopp announces she is going to USD.

Last night Zach Borg and Mallory Miller's dad on X had alot of info exchange about transfers/NCAA money. It was interesting read. Sorry, I cannot pull the X info into my post right now.

Each individual has their own priorities, goals and other life factors that are unique to their own personal situations. It's no different than one of us choosing a different job opportunity that we think fits our personal situation best. It's not different b/c they wear uniforms and play a game. That's really the simplest way to look at this new world of NIL. I wish Timmer and Jenna nothing but the best going forward.

Definitely don't begrudge either of them, although I admit I selfishly hoped I'd be able to cheer both on for another season

x and Instagram official. Big12 on ESPN+ is nice (won't have to deal with b1g plus/peacock). Would be cool if they could turn this into a H&H this upcoming season. I'll have to ask if Kelsey Musick & Arkansas were in the mix. She's trying to rebuild a roster, so she'll be very active (has 1 former ORU player per on3).

[ringthebells]

Holy **** guys. She is getting paid, getting to play in big arenas against big time teams and gets her Masters for free. Who the **** would turn that down?

[AZjack]

I know a lot of kids/people that have went to OSU for a grad degree. Granted it's mostly ag. But It's a midwest school that is comparable to us.

That was my point, it doesn't seem like a big step up academically. Didn't know their MS in Data Science was ranked that high. Hope it works out, I'm rooting for her.

Just stating if I had a choice where to get an advanced degree that was paid for, Virginia would have beat out OK State every time.

[98Jackfarmer]

Weird place to go for a grad degree, Virginia was the only one that made sense from an academic standpoint. Hopefully she got paid well.

OK State was ranked the #1 ranked Masters Program in Data Science by Fortune Magazine. Spears School of Business is very good there. Big 12 Conference is a nice one year stop to play ball on top.
