Jamisyn Stinson is a top 5-10 junior in Ohio and was offered by Melissa a year ago. No other offers appeared after that. Still looks like just Akron's offer on the table. If she's only been offered as a sophomore, never committed and has another year of high school left it's not really an exit, is it? If Faith leaves, that's a bad sign for her getting her sister.

ewbrooman1 Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 1 hour ago, LoyalZIP said: I remember Corcoran doing a similar thing that the player from Miami did. I remember she announced her transfer to Akron in the middle of the season. She was great until everyone got her film here. This player that was allegedly coming here from a bad Miami program hasn’t played in 2 years and never really did much there. A little bit in Corcoran's defense, the Detroit Mercy program was a dumpster fire and everyone left. She certainly would have contributed this year as a backup to Camp. Not sure what her latest reason for leaving was. The Miami player averaged 8 pts over 2 years, so it doesn't sound like a huge loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Faith doesn't short circuit it earlier by announcing the portal. I'm frustrated that Faith seemed to be misused this year as almost exclusively a 3-point shooter. She was so strong on the inside in HS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this season, she was called on to spell Bass when she was in need of a break or, as far too often, she was in foul trouble, and didn't fair as well against the large bodies under the basket in the MAC. She did shoot the 3, but not that much more than Bass or Ferrell did. Not knocking Faith, as a freshman she worked hard, but I didn't see a competitive post player, not that she couldn't have developed into one.

Reagan, Layne and Molly could all run circles around her as could opposing bigs. She wasn’t going to be on the blocks ahead of the other 3 bigs and being on the perimeter helped her get back on defense. The couple of games I was at where she got significant PT she was gassed quick. That being said she has a lot of potential and can be a real contributor next season.

Z.I.P. Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 I mentioned Lanae a few weeks ago. She was probably the most heavily recruited player in the Akron area by Melissa Jackson. Signed with MTSU, played in just 6 games for nationally ranked team. She was offered by KSU and Miami from the MAC and a few mid-majors (Duquesne, St. Bonaventure, etc.). Don't know if there is any coach left behind who's recruiting. When Kest left, Jackson continued recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mes102 Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I'll be posting some coaching candidates that I would look at if I had to reccomend names to search firm / Guthrie in a few hours. Currently researching some coaches I don't know much about but intrigue me with how their programs have done. Safe to say it won't be anyone on the current staff or you would have re-signed Jackson.

mes102 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 (edited) My post earlier was worded the way it was because I originally was going to post them then but found some information on one that I decided I needed to check on the rest of them. I probably should have just deleted that post instead of wording it the way I did 🤐 I narrowed my list from 20 names to 12 names due to recent changes (Example: I had Michigan State associate head coach, Dean Lockwood, on my list but he was just named interim head coach as their head coach just retired). I decided to get rid of some other names that may not be as realistic (Notre Dame's Carol Owens, Maryland's Karen Blair, and some others). Some of these below might not be realistic, but I could see any of them (Gandy is the biggest long shot probably, but I decided to keep him on here). Below are names based on three levels of coaching at the moment: - D2/D3/NAIA head coaches that have excelled with their program. - D1 head coach that may consider Akron as not a lateral move and/or has a connection to Guthrie - D1 assistant coach that may consider taking a head coaching position Below I added some highlights from their Bio Profile (I have a link to it under their name) in case you want to read more about any of them.

The team welcomed in seven new players to the roster, and while there were ups and downs, the team was playing its best basketball down the stretch. The Buckeyes won six in-a-row in February, 10 out of their final 13 overall and made a run to the Big Ten Tournament Championship game. They were projected as anywhere from a five, six or seven seed in the NCAA Tournament before the COVID-19 outbreak put a halt to the sports world. Overall, they were 21-12 and finished fifth in the Big Ten at 11-7. - The Buckeyes won a share of the Big Ten regular season championship in 2021-22, finishing the conference schedule with a 14-4 record. Ohio State did not lose to an unranked team during Big Ten play. OSU went on to earn a six-seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2017. OSU earned three ranked wins during the 2021-22 season, first beating No. 12/11 Maryland at home before taking care of business at No. 21/24 Iowa. The Buckeyes' most convincing ranked win came in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at No. 8/9 LSU by a 79-64 margin. - Morrow also served as an assistant coach for McGuff for four seasons at Xavier from 2007-11. They captured six A-10 Championships (regular season & tournament) and advanced to four NCAA Tournaments highlighted by an Elite Eight appearance with McGuff in 2010. Winston Gandy, Duke - Joined the Duke women’s basketball staff as an assistant coach in July of 2020. He was elevated to associate head coach on July 1, 2022. - Before arriving in Durham, Gandy spent three years on the Rice University women’s basketball staff, helping guide the Owls to three straight 20-win seasons, including one NCAA Tournament appearance and one Conference USA Championship. - Part of one of the best stretches in Rice women’s basketball history, Gandy helped the Owls to a 72-22 overall record and a 42-8 mark in Conference USA action over that three-year period. In 2018-19, the Owls won a school single-season record 28 games that featured an appearance in the NCAA Tournament and the school’s first Conference USA Tournament title. - Prior to his coaching stint at Rice, Gandy spent three years in the NBA - one season as an assistant coach and two years as the coordinator of player development with the Washington Wizards.

LoyalZIP Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Well done! Thank you @mes102 I’m completely in the dark about who’s being interviewed. What I do know is that Borseth would be a Joe Moorhead level hire. If I were in charge, the two names at the top of my list would be Megan Vogel, Borseth’s associate HC at Green Bay, and Pickens. Guzzardo would be an interesting name. I’m excited to hear this news, hopefully soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get someone in there SOON! Or when Charles arrived in town! lol (but only slightly) 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a good guy. I know he went to St. Louis for a while. May be time to be a head coach? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Roo Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Brilliant analysis ME102! I feel smarter just reading your work. There are some good candidates out there.One of them will make a good coach for us and do what MJ couldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
