Is she playing against low level competition? Not like it matters if she is putting up 40-50 points a night. Thought I remember reading somewhere that she could have went to a Prep School and decided to stay at high school where her mom coaches instead. I know she comes from a long line of athletes in her family.

Pretty sure that I read that Williamsville South is in the largest school division in New York.

I give Josh Whitman a ton of praise for making some homerun hires in Underwood, Bielema and Green. He hired Lovie Smith and Nancy Fahey also but at least he made a change of direction and made the football and women's bball teams respectable. The shocking part is how fast everything has transformed.

One factor in the Fahey hire was that she was on the search committee that hired Whitman at Washington University.

Yep knew they had ties

Wash U is one of the finer colleges in the nation (grew up Champaign area and live in the St Louis area now). "Hidden Ivy" school :ROFLMAO:

Williamsville has a large school division. Think they are split up into South, North and East. South might be the smallest but they are all big.

As we talk about our lack of depth and next year’s recruits, is there any word on how the freshmen are progressing? Any of them showing signs of being able to help off the bench this year? Next year? How is Jackson’s injury progressing?

I’m a Philly Eagles fan (yes, please boo). One takeaway I’ve had from watching the GM / ownership / talent dynamic is if a good leader has the leash long enough to take shots, the franchise benefits (so long the decision-making process is sound). Roseman (Eagles GM) has had some high-profile mistakes and maintained the confidence from Jeff Lurie (owner) to keep swinging. So many leaders are forced to make decisions in fear of their jobs, rather then having the freedom to take good calculated risks, knowing some will crash and burn. People will generally make a safe, boring, consensus choice to appease their bosses instead of the right decision. It seems like JW has a similar level of trust from the powers that be and I really hope it stays that way.

We look flat, no legs for the shots. Is our lack of depth finally taking a toll tonight? We just look wore out in the first half

Purdue shot 55% in first half and we were 28% not good, once again we are the small team, hard to stop that inside game when we only have one effective post player

Hope they can find their touch the second half. 3 point shooting has been their strength. I'm not sure how they pull this out without hitting them.
