Nell Fortner new coach at GT.

I wasn't familiar with her name, but wow, what an impressive resume. She will likely greatly improve GTs recruiting record. They could become a real player in the conference if she does; obviously she knows how to coach and be successful.

Lindsey is building quite a resume. Hope Kevin White is paying attention.

Angela Salvadores was draft in the 3rd round by the Los Angeles Sparks.

WNBA draft rules are vastly different from NBA rules. All internationals are only eligible in the year that they turn 20 unless they enroll in college in the United States in which case the rules governing American players apply, which pushes their minimum drafting age to the year they turn 22 even if they leave college early.

4 South Carolina players transferring. I know she has a great class coming in, but wow.

Cooper was the #12 recruit as a point guard coming out of high school. I really hope Kyra (and Mikayla) are 100% in the fall, but given the injury history I wonder if Cooper is an option. She should be immediately available as a grad transfer.

"Ice Twice" was seriously her nickname after last year's tourney. I guess "Third" doesn't rhyme as easily, so it's all for the best.

Seriously, quite the 4th quarter. Notre Dame closed a double-digit gap in the space of about five (OK, maybe seven) game-minutes before Baylor dug back in and played them toe-to-toe down the stretch. It was anybody's game in crunch time.

I felt better for Lauren Cox that her team was able to hold on. If you're going to blow out a knee in the final game, at least you get to admire your trophy during rehab.

I usually root for ND and usually against Baylor (given my old Rice ties), but this outcome -- given Cox's injury -- is OK.

So that makes 8 transfers from both flagship Carolina schools. Maybe they can swap.

Destinee Walker has already transferred from UNC to Notre Dame. She is a grad transfer, but will have two years of eligibility remaining.

I noticed Associate Head Coach Hernando Planells is also no longer listed under the Duke coaches on GoDuke.com.

There have been no announcements related to him. Anyone have any info?

Interesting. His bio is still available, but his position has been scrubbed.

Google search reveals that he was named as New Zealands U-17 womens bball coach.

Google search reveals that he was named as New Zealands U-17 womens bball coach.

That was during the season, and at the time it was inferred that it would not detract from his Duke duties.

Must have done something horrible. Shipped off to the penal colony!

Our assistant coaches have a pretty high turnover rate, which does not surprise me one bit.

Another one bites the dust.
Jayda Adams suffers a knee injury requiring surgery.
Damn!

Oh my goodness. The hits just keep on coming. It's way past the point of believability. Clearly someone out there is doing a brisk voodoo doll business.

It’s like they play for this year’s Yankees. 13 currently on the IL (Injured List) after one has returned to action (Gary Sanchez).

I am trying to develop a reasonable goal for the year that I would consider a "good" '19-'20 season. Having trouble coming up with an answer that seems both realistic and satisfactory though.

I am not in my happy place.

How about "ACC top 10 or bust!" for 19-20
