Another transfer immediately eligible:
Aha! Now I'm more clear on these transfer waiver decisions - it's GOD who decides. This revelation sheds some light on Notre Dame's preferential treatment.
Ask Touchdown Jesus and ye shall receiveIt's good to see that someone has recognized divine intervention!
(IOn the other hand, I felt abandoned when the big guy/gal didn't help find us a transfer post/forward this summer...)

Unfortunately, Oregon State's 6'9" redshirt freshman Andrea Aquino will miss a second year in a row due to an ongoing undisclosed heart condition. Fortunately/hopefully, these new freshmen teammate bigs (6'5" Taylor Jones, 6'6" Kennedy Brown, and 6'9" Jelena Mitrovic) should be good to go by the start of the season! Fall classes just started for them at OSU!
Whether Brown can/will play some at the 3 position remains to be seen. Practice starts Tuesday. No doubt she will play some at the 4 (PF). I'm pretty sure Jones will play some at PF and some at the 5 (Post). Mitrovic and 6'7" sophomore Morris will certainly get some time at Post.I thought Kennedy Chose OSU to be a SF and not be used as a big?

To play in Coach Rueck's system, the more positions you can play, the more time you are on the floor. See Mikayla Pivec (has played 1/2/3/4/5). Rarely comes off the court because of her versatility and her bball IQ.Well I just remember reading that was why she chose OSU, was the ability to not have to play back to basket as a post.
The silence is concerning. C Bibby has been prominent on several videos with the team doing running drills and has been on a video showing her doing squats. The video evens jokes that she is doing fine and ready to play. Promise has been on a couple of videos showing her bench pressing. From the numbers she is either the strongest or evidently one of the strongest on the team. However I don’t remember seeing her on any of the running videos. I’ve seen constracting posts from fans. One said the foot injury was lingering to the point her career might be in doubt. Another poster said the boot was off and she was practicing. The last Coach Schaefer spoke about it was immediately prior to Italy where he said she was getting out of the boot and starting conditioning work.Anybody aware of the status of Promise Taylor? I never see her in any of the workout videos online nor do I see any comments on her injury status. I believe the injury is associated with her foot but have never heard any comment from Vic other than it is a foot problem. I thought Promise would compete, indeed would be the leading candidate, for starting center, however now I wonder if she will even play much next year.
Y Morris has been a pleasant surprise. By the end of the Italy trip she was pushing J Carter for playing time. I still hope things clear with P Taylor though.When watching MSU this summer, I really like Morris a lot and think she will do just fine with reps and experience. Would have been much nice though if Promise is healthy. I have not heard good things about her situation on MSU's end. Issues staying healthy.
pleasant
I saw video of Kennedy Brown shooting a number of three-pointers for OSU during the team's recent four-game trip in Italy. In Italy, OSU was utilizing Brown at the high post, on the perimeter, and on the block posting with her back to the basket at different times in the video that I saw. Brown passes well, increasing the chances that she will be utilized outside of the paint at the high post and beyond to try to draw opposing posts outside the paint to guard her.Well I just remember reading that was why she chose OSU, was the ability to not have to play back to basket as a post.
Just saw on MSST Facebook page a write up about MSST first practice for the coming season. The article did not mention Promise Taylor’s injury, just stated she was able to play, hopefully she was practicing with the team. I have my fingers crossed wishing that is the case. Can anyone confirm she was practicing with the team?The silence is concerning.
