Has there been any discussion on team development or staff changes. I thought our new AD might have made some staff change suggestions if Gary thought last season's staff motivated and taught on a championship level.

I guess we don't have a team or staff.

It's July. There will be info soon.

Here's a tidbit: husband was at Marr Eye Center yesterday and met an incoming freshman WBB player, Elise or Alissa or something. Radar had brought her in. Anyone have a real name?

They are busy pushing season tickets as usual, but can't even post this year's roster on the 12th man site.
Of course, no schedule posted yet either, but maybe a game or two not set yet.

Surely they cancelled that proposed trip to Belgium and France this summer?

Considering July is the biggest recruiting month and viewing period for AAU ball I would hope that's where the staff's focus is right now......finding good players

Howdy, for those looking for an update on the team here's what I can help you with:

In coming freshmen - Jasmine (Houston), Aaliyah (Arkansas by way of OKC), Raquel "Queen" (New Orleans)

Returning - Curtyce, Danni, Anriel, Taylor, Khaalia, Jazmine

Two JUCO players - Caylinne and Walnatia (from Achiri's JUCO)

What I do know:
The team has been working out mornings cardio and weights, as individuals and groups with coaching staff and playing pick up against former players in an effort to prepare for the upcoming season.

The coaches stayed with the team the first part of July to ensure they were prepared for the Europe trip and they had an opportunity to get a few team practices in before the trip was cancelled due to the violence in Europe (happy to say they put safety first).

The team is bonding and jelling and is truly a team, they may struggle at the beginning due to lack of experience but what they have going for them is that they genuinely care for one another and work well together as a team. I have been told that the team emotions are positive and practices have been productive. This for the most part is a new team not all returners played together enough last season to be in sync the way our players were last year that will come with time.

Give this team and this staff support they deserve it, believe me!!!

Thank you for the notes.

I had hoped the trip would help the team get in sync on the court. I think it was an important part of the success of last years men's team.

So happy they're not going to Europe. I'm excited to see this group play. I prefer a TEAM that plays together over superstars. I've missed that.

Would anybody like to venture a prediction about how good a team we'll have this year?

Updates are, Darienne had to leave the last year so she will have to go through the walk on process again. Carley decided not to play this year, Shlonte transferred.

That's all fine and dandy but until we get a post (or 2) who can play and play at a constantly high level we will not be elite. We will be good but not elite. And post are hard to come by

I think it's going to be a tough season for A&M fans who are used to winning at a high level. The program has been trending down the last few years and Blair is clearly near the end of his career. I think a reasonable goal considering our roster would be to make the NCAA tournament, but that is going to be tough. There is a huge talent drop-off from last year, which will make it difficult to compete with the top teams in the SEC. We'll probably be a middle of the pack type of program going forward until recruiting picks up again.

Being "elite" is not required of Aggie coaches. "Good" to "very good" is good enough.

Does anyone know when an official roster will be posted on the website?

"The team is bonding and jelling and is truly a team,"


This will be an improvement.
