More going on in the Pac 10

The Oregon State story gets weirder and weirder. Here’s a link to the latest:

By my count they are down to 4 players from last year’s team and there is talk in the comments section that another will leave. They are also down to one Assistant and yes the one in the story. However they have signed 3 for the next year. Two signed in November but another committed at the end of April. She is Alexis Bostick, an unrated player from Oakland’s very strong Bishop O’Dowd team. She is a 5-9 Point Guard. I don’t know if she actually signed or not, as Oregon State stopped doing Press Releases on Women’s Basketball.

Another interesting case is Kirsten Tilleman who will not play and not transfer. She is ending her Soph year but on schedule to graduate after 3 years. She now plans to go to Grad school elsewhere and play there.

So will the 3 recruits show up and play for Wagner? If not they have 4 players and one has to wonder what happens then. Or if Wagner “moves on” will those who night be waiting for something to happen, and maybe Tilleman is in that group, come back to play. Stay tuned.

Shoni Schimmel has not signed and no rumors of a commitment.

Cal signed an Israeli player who played on their 18U team, G 6-0 Guard Avigiel Cohen. Cohen was born in LA by the way. She is now the 10th player on Cal’s 2010-2011 roster. Cohen is recovering from an injury so it’s not known if she will be enrolling at Cal this summer and playing at Kezar. However those of us who are Kezar junkies will be watching for her.

KiKi Moore, late of Washington State, will transfer to Fresno State. She had activity with most of the WCC Conference, including hometown USF before deciding on Fresno.
