Nikki Blue - WBB - RunnerBall - 06-07-2017 08:26 PM
So, our loss is the 'Lopes gain. Per Nick James at KGET TV, CSUB assistant and Bako native Nikki Blue headed to the GCU program. Congrats.

Powell is trying to nab as many ex-WNBA players to put on her staff. I like it. Odd to see a in conference hire.

Powell is probably looking for an x's and o's assistant. She is an amazing recruiter, much like Majerle. She recruited the team that propelled Oregon on it's run this past year as an 11 seed.

A very good 11 seed that ended up being the first double digit seed to make a women's elite eight. Oregon last year was also the owner of the freshman of the year and 5th best recruiting class as well if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure how this season is going to look as far as recruiting goes because she came in late with 6 scholarship spots to fill but it should be exciting either way.

I think that if they can get a couple of bigs they may be able to compete for third. Seattle and NMSU are leaps and bounds ahead of us right now but hopefully that changes soon. We did sneak a win against Seattle at home last year.

GCU adds Taylor Howard out of Texas today. She looks to be a big that gets her fair share of steals (1.3 pg)that doesn't shoot exceptionally well (37%) from the field and loves the long ball (36-100).
RE: Nikki Blue - WBB - ThunderDan49 - 06-15-2017 07:50 PM
Coach Powell announced the rest of her staff today. She really pulled her staff from a variety of places, including bringing a grad assistant from University of Oregon. The complete update can be found here.

Schedules should be coming next. I know Men's usually drops around July 1. Feel like Women's is usually around the same time.
UPDATE: Nevermind... WBB 2016-17 schedule released in mid-July. In the 3 seasons before that, the schedule was not announced until September. Yikes!)
