More good news to come.

An Olmsted Falls senior has decommitted from Buffalo. One of five Buffalo H.S. recruits to decommit. Apparently, Buffalo had a 100% assistant coach turnover rate after the head coach's first season.

Was she hurt this year? She only played in 6 games all season.

She is followed on Twitter by coach Gensler. Usually a telling sign he’s trying to make contact. I wish we knew who assistants were so we could get them on the radar too.

Names of players and coaches either in article or link. Turnover turmoil in Canada I guess.

“Former assistant coach Wyatt Foust left the program for another coaching opportunity,” a UB Athletics spokesperson said. “He was a primary contact for those student-athletes during their recruiting process and with his departure they had [a] change of heart and requested their release which was granted.”

 

Not sure how normal it is for it to take so long, but I know for a fact that at least two of those five requested their release over 25 days ago and didn't get approved until last week. NCAA finally got to it Friday/today.

Saw this earlier today and should have shared. What on earth? They finished very well this year too.

Anyone know what our current roster looks like & whether we signed any HS seniors this past year?

[Hilltopper]

[Blue & Gold]

That's huge! With the addition on Lanae we're going to have the best front court in the MAC 💪💪💪

[LoyalZIP]

HUGE! Can't wait to see what this new group can do!

Once the coaching changes & transfer portal calms down, this site will have a scholarship chart for every D1 women's basketball program. Right now, it got ripped down to a minimum with all the changes. It's the best centralized site for college women's basketball in my opinion. It says it can't be found right now, but once it gets uploaded, this should be the link to Akron's scholarship and recruiting news.

Was Bass in the portal previously?

I would love to know what are the factors that kept Reagan Bass here. In my opinion we have improved our coach, we are close to her home, there is great potential here and we have high aspirations. But those are my thoughts, not hers. Does anyone have insight as to what made her stay?

From what I heard when the Jackson news first came to light, she always wanted to and intended to stay. I'm glad to see that has been confirmed.

Nice addition. I can already see that we are building a much bigger/larger team than in the past with the addition of Taponen and Riley. I like it.
