    I LOVE this thought!!! that would give us an unbelievably good 3 player rotation in the post!! i think that would probably be the most talented group we have ever had in the post. i REALLY want to believe there is a chance she could come to the realization that she made a mistake!!! but i have no idea what the reality of that would be


    this is a great example of, IF it is the right player, the position would NOT matter. obviously AJ believed she was a good fit for our program before so the FIT should not be a question!! someone like this that AJ already knows well is definitely the most obvious answer. my guess is that if the FIT is not obvious AJ is more than happy to go into next year with current roster, but i do think they would be vulnerable to an injury to one of B Meyer or Kallie. we could get through conference play fine but would really struggle in the post against the best teams without both of those two healthy

        I was thinking about her, even though it would be a stretch to go from P-5 to mid-5 (we are a high mid-major I think we've earned that distinction). The connection to her would be the time AJ & Cori Close of UCLA coached that group of young women from the USA National U19 to the Championship in the U19 2021 World Cup. That team had a loaded roster, I'm sure AJ would take anyone off that roster. It's a brief time I know, but it is a connection. Both UND and Bison have their heart set on her though, I don't know if they'd have a chance or not.

        I wonder if AJ is next in line to be the coach of the next USA National team in the next World Cup, he was one of Close's assistants in 2021 the other being Joni Taylor, if he'd want to do that given the chance to.

          she's had injuries.....plus, read where there might be some parental issues there too. not sure it's a good fit. the height is no doubt an issue if you want to advance in the NCAA's. height and wide body.

                    Saw that ESPN ranks her as the 17th best player in the portal. She will likely draw bigger offers than the Summit schools that have been mentioned. Sounds like she missed all of this season with a knee injury.

                    • Hopefully we have made a few calls. Hottinger from Lehigh would be a nice addition. Minnesota girl who got to experience playing in Frost this last year.

                        ESPN has her ranked in the top five portal players. You have to think that Dawn is going hard after her being a Minnesota native.

                          Lauren Ware is a 3yr eligibility transfer, that messes up our roster for '24 - '25 where we have a full 15 for that season. Unless there's some kind of work-around. Right behind her listed at # 18 is Frannie Hottinger Lehigh, a senior with 1 covid yr of eligibility left, from Minn, a 6'1" F who last season scored 20.4ppg, 9.7 rpg in the Patriot League. You might recall, we played against her and Lehigh early in our season which we won 91- 73. She was Lehigh's top scorer in that game with 25 pts. To me she would fit much better and would make more sense for next season and then our roster would return to normal afterward.

                          I don't know if AJ would feel the same way or not, and, I don't know if offered she would accept. Who wouldn't take Lauren Ware for 3 yrs, but I don't know how we could unless, as I've mentioned , there's some kind of work around to not mess up our roster for '24- '25 . I now see I'm a little late with this post, just noticed SteelSD already posted about her, my bad.

                          • Lexi Donarski from the Iowa State WBB is in the portal. She is 6' guard/wing. She played 35+ minutes/game with about 32% 3pt average.

                            • QUOTED from Jackdaniel:
                              "Lauren Ware is a 3yr eligibility transfer, that messes up our roster for '24 - '25 where we have a full 15 for that season. Unless there's some kind of work-around.

                              The transfer portal is filling up with good-to-great-players with "eye candy" credentials. However, if WARE or any other multi-year transfer hits our roster, Pandora's Box opens.

                              Would the five SD Attack teammates all sign their SDSU NLI this November ? Poaching is a real possibility.

                              Would the current roster remain intact?

                              Still, we need more than 12 players next season, right? AJ is walking a tightrope.

                              • Darian White from Montana State has entered the portal. Has one year of eligibility. Would give us a nice 1-2 punch at PG with Paige Meyer. Uber athletic player with nice quickness and handles. Not a great 3 point shooter but can really get downhill.
