Illini Women's Basketball 2024-2025

Im looking at TCU as a good model of this team.Getting two seniors with strong stats and seeing the vision Coach Green has. I'm sure she is looking to get taller skill players because USC and UCLA will be huge next year.Iowa has some players coming in that Green recruited.LSU snagged us at the end there.I was surprised the last player that Green landed,but happy most of them were 6ft or taller.The smallest one is looking like a Makira Cook doppelganger... Yeah, already looking forward to next season.
There is a lot of talk about what we need from the portal. Unless we lose players to the portal we only have 1 scollarship available. Would have to be a special player in my opinion for us to pursue.
You are allowed 15. We have 3 available.
We just have 1. With 5 leaving & 5 coming in, we're at 14. Cori, Gretchen, Irene, Jasmine, Mia, Berry, Shay, Hayven & Lety returning.
I believe Mia is a walk-on. Doubt that Shay plays again.
I have seen this UCLA team 2 years in a row and I just am not a huge fan of the coach and company..Kinda like Michigan..
Today Yarden Garzon hit the Portal..I'm hoping our team would be interested.She plays like 4 positions and will be a Senior... Skylar Jones of Chicago is in the Portal out of Arizona. Those two would be ideal.... Perfect would be Taniya Latson and Serah Williams...lol
Both sets would have us ranked pretty high, given all that we have coming back.
Shauna will also be looking for a new assistant coach. Liza Fruendt is leaving Illinois after one season and headed to the University of Missouri. Mizzou just hired Kellie Harper as their new head womens basketball coach. Liza played for Coach Harper at Missouri State. She was later an assistant coach on Coach Harper's staff when Kellie coached at Tennessee. When I saw that Mizzou had hired Kellie Harper, I had a bad feeling that Liza was going to follow her there.
