Congratulations to Lexy Hightower! Named to 2 All-American teams (3rd team on one and honorable mention on the other). Would have been 1st team if the Lady Buffs had been better. Sad when they couldn't even make it to the LSC finals. Without Lexy, the cupboard is empty for next season (with the possible exception of Braylen Dollar). If Mattio is depending on returnees and doesn't do some fantastic recruiting, the Lady Buffs will be middle of the pack at best. LCU appears to have recruited well and will be back on top again. Still hoping Mattio gets a D-1 offer ASAP. Should be a sure thing with her incredible winning %.

Watched the Buffs win over Daemen game. Good showing by the Buffs! I usually watch with sound off but I had it on toward the end of the second half. Daemen must have been high bidder for broadcast rights! Whoever was woman was she would have sounded better on the Crown!

You are correct she has played 4 full seasons, but this season everyone in all of NCAA athletics gets to choose to repeat this year. Basically a medical redshirt year but you actually get to play. We shall call it "burgundy shirting"
I don't think spring sports athletes get an extra year, except for D3.Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

This article talks about D1 athletes getting a year. But all divisions have the option to return.

Wt has a good incoming class. Four D1 transfers and two high school players. The D1 players are a 6-3 post. (leading shot blocker on the former team) A high-energy PG and two big guards. (5-10) One of the high school players is a 6-2 big body with an extended 3 point range. She will be a match-up problem for the other teams. I am really excited about Averee Kleinhans. She is a 5-9 shooting guard who is in range when she gets off the bus. In conversations with a D1 coach I was told, "Wt is lucky to have her, she is a stud." During the conversation the terms - the real deal - baller - impact player - looks to score, were all used to describe Averee. Wt fans are going to like her. Kleinhans is currently in her senior season at Nocona High School. The talented guard picked up Texas Association of Basketball Coaches (TABC) All-State honors during her junior campaign in 2019-20 as she was named the District's Most Valuable Player for the second straight season, averaging 24.8 points per game while also leading the Red River Area in assists (4.3), three-pointers made (73) and free throws made (223). As a sophomore in 2018-19, Kleinhans was named the Red River 22 Most Valuable Player as she averaged an impressive 25.8 points per game. Averee comes from a deep tradition of basketball success as both her mom and grandmother played basketball at Nocona High School. This past season, Averee broke the school scoring record scoring 46 points, a record that was set by her grandmother, Glenna Clay."
The coaching staff has addressed the needs of the team: 1) Post player 2) Point guard 3) Scoring guard. With the quality of the returning players, I fail to see an impending implosion of the Lady Buffs. IMHO, Wt will be one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the LSC. Our coach has one of the highest winning percentages in the LSC. Wt and about 300 other D2 schools need to figure out a way to beat LCU. It looks like WT has reloaded for next year and should be fun to watch.
Edit: Signed another D1 transfer - looks like we will not be caught short-handed again.Last edited by Great White Buffalo; 05-02-2021, 03:56 PM.The Great White Buffalo has Returned
