WT WBB

[Buffalo/Islander Alum]

As I looked at the Wt roster this morning there have been some changes. Most notably the 6'3" post from Tarlton is no longer listed. She was recruited by Kristin out of HS. No surprise she's not coming. There are some others that I don't recall also not on the roster. As of now, Wt needs a big girl. Maybe our new coach will have some contacts to get one.

It looks to me that the transfer portal has changed the landscape of recurring, and not for the better. IMHO most coaches will go for the one or two-year player instead of incoming freshmen. That's not a change I like. You spend time, effort, and money on a player and another team gets the rewards.

Yeah its a joke. The transfer portal is killing small to mid level majors especially the schools that make the NCAA tournament. The power 5 schools already have the advantage in recruiting.

I have had the opportunity to talk to Coach Prock. First of all, what you see is what you get, very open. Very easy to like and get along with. As far as basketball is concerned, he likes our core players; Lenz, Burgess, Sowell, and Taylor. He has some players that will be joining him. A point guard, post player, Juco transfer, and a high school recruit. The Juco averaged 19 ppg last year. Prefers a man-to-man defense. Has stated that his offence will be much more free-flowing, not as pattern dependent. The Lady Buffs are in good hands. IMHO, we will see an improvement in every area of the game with Coach Prock

Yep! Don't know much about her, but being from Canyon, I bet she can play. I also heard Prock is after a couple of other local ones.

Hey Old Buff - Another local girl, Kayla Kane from Wellington. Class of 2022 got a commitment. How about a love for our new coach??

I really don't understand your comments about "latent" talent. The returning players have excellent talent and basketball IQ. I will admit that the previous system did not allow players to optimize their talent. Coach Procks system is much more "free-flowing." He also brings his PG with him. She will be the best PG in the Lone Star. Very high basketball IQ. Don't be concerned about a lack of talent. I seriously doubt that there will be a big gap in talent in the top 3 or 4 LSC teams, of which Wt will be one.

Latent means "a quality existing but not yet developed....". So you just said what I meant in my statement. If there is real talent there, it didn't show under Mattio. Hopefully Prock and his system can bring it out in the holdovers. At least maybe he can make decisions under pressure and they won't be as frustrated as they were with Mattio's inability to do that.

I understand, the ability is clear to me, don't think anyone was a fan of the offense. IMHO, the team will be improved. The JUCO player appears to be the real deal. My understanding is that there are still 2 players the coach would like to bring in, they were/are on campus this week. Everything appears to be coming together for what will be another extended run of excellence by the Lady Buff's

The new schedule is out. Play Baylor in an exhibition game. Wt starts the season with Central Missouri & last year's run-up Drury.
Looks like we will see what kind of team we have pretty quick.

Very impressive schedule.

Stopped by the FUB this afternoon to watch WBB practice. It's a new culture, a new attitude with the new coach. I know a few of the girls. After practice, EVERY player came by shook my hand, introduced themselves, and thanked me for coming to PRACTICE. I am impressed. Sienna Lenza is clearly the most improved. Two high school coaches were there watching and taking notes. Better size and better talent than last year. This going to be fun.
