Coaches Eagan and Roller are filling up the 2021-2022 roster with highly recruited athletes. The latest commit is Katie Gilbert, an All State guard from Mountain Home Arkansas. Gilbert, a 5-10 junior, was named to the Class 5A "Top Five" in the state.
Eagan has recruited some athletic guards who can shoot with range. Max Prep video shows Gilbert has a really high arc on her shot.
Meanwhile in Phoenix, Coach Miller is continuing her aggressive recruiting by currently competing with the likes of Louisville.

Coach Hesser's team was honored with a Team Academic Excellence Award from the National Basketball Coaches Association. The Panther's team GPA was 3.56 which led all of GLVC Men's Basketball.Leave a comment:

Wow. Coach Eagan seems to be winning some recruiting wars for 2021 as Ozark's Anna Hitt has committed. This girl is another fantastic skilled athlete who likes to run. I dont see anyone on the current roster or the girls for the next year slowing the pace the Lady Panthers like to play at.Leave a comment:

Coach Eagan is having success competing with mid majors for recruits. The latest verbal commit will be a HS senior this coming year. There is a video of her dunking a tennis ball on her Twitter page which is pretty athletic for a 5'11" girl.
It looks like the Drury Men's roster is completed for the upcoming season.Leave a comment:

Hesser and company have a great nucleus returning that finished last season on a tear. If history repeats, this will be a banner season (hopefully). One thing for sure, the athleticism of the newcomers and the returners should make this an exciting team to watch.Leave a comment:

The Lady Panthers lost a lot from last season in 4 extraordinary athletes including 2 All Americans. They also lost the head coach and an assistant.
They do return a lot of experience including a potential All American and have added 2 D1 transfers including a former Third Team All Sun Belt pick and they have 2 high caliber coaches. It should be another great season. HopefullyLast edited by crazznewt; 07-08-2020, 06:15 AM.Leave a comment:

I was reminiscing of my favorite Drury's old Weiser Gym experiences. These are my top five personal favorites:
5. Watching Drury beat Scottie Pippen and his Central Arkansas team.
4. Watching Terry Cummings and his Athletes in Action team beat Drury.
3.Watching Drury beat Dennis Rodman and his Southeast Oklahoma team in a scrimmage.
2. Me making a full court hook shot while messing around with friends.
1. And on the same day, I attempted to make a shot on the West goal with a tennis ball from the top of the East side of the arena. My shot veered to the North, hit the handrail on the West bleachers, and ricocheted into the crotch of a huge Russian swimmer who was wearing only a speedo and was just leaving the old fitness room headed to the old pool. He fell over while screaming "A**hole!" at the top of his lungs. I yelled "Sorry" and we exited before the poor guy recovered. He must have deserved it though.Leave a comment:

Looks like a good class. Basketball may be near normal next season. Football I have doubts. I look at the numbers everyday Missouri covid rates are not dropping so social distancing still looks appropriate. However places need to open back up.

No surprise. Katie Scott, the most decorated recruit ever for the Lady Panthers, has followed Miller to Grand Canyon University. The Newsleader said Drury "Graciously* let Scott out of her NLI. Drury will still be good and obviously
the main hope is an uninterrupted upcoming season.Last edited by crazznewt; 04-25-2020, 07:21 PM.Leave a comment:

Still no new basketball news? I'm ready for some normalcy! Like, I never watch movies but we just finished watching Jurassic Park. Talk about a reptile dysfunction! Well, I suppose it's time to take off my daytime pajamas so I can put on my nighttime pajamas.

Okay DUPanther, I am excited to hear more about some of the additions to the returning roster that had a very strong finish to last season. One in particular is a 3 star defensive stopper /dunking machine who was offered by several D1s.
It looks to me like the Lonnie Boga hire is paying dividends.Leave a comment:
