Last Season:
A very disappointing season, 10-21 and 4-14 in Pac 12 play.
The Coaches:
Scott Rueck returns for his 4th season as Head Coach. Scott was Coach of the Year in the Pac 12 two years ago with a 20 win season and 5th in the league.
Mark Campbell returns for his 4th season and he is the Associate Head Coach.
Eric Ely returns for his 4th season.
Many of you will remember the newest addition to the staff, former Oregon State great Mandy Close. Mandy has been at Montana State as an assistant. She was an Oregon State great 2003-06.
The Losses:
The Beavers lose 3 players who averaged 18-20 minutes per game. Patricia Bright was the Center and averaged 6 points and 4 rebounds per game.
Mollie Schwegler averaged 6 points per game.
ShaKiana Edwards-Teasley averaged 2 points and nearly 5 rebounds per game.
Sage Indendi who missed last season with an injury used her redshirt year sitting out after transferring to Oregon State.
The Additions:
Breanna Brown is a 6-3 post player from the East Bay ranked 49 and 73 in the nation by two Sites. Brown played on the outstanding Bishop O’Dowd team of Oakland. Brown is a strong defensive player, but not yet a strong offensive threat. But post defense is just what Oregon State needs.
Gabriella Hanson is a 5-11 frosh guard from SoCal who is also able to play on the Swedish Junior teams which she has done the last 3 summers with the past 2 at the 18U level. Hanson averaged 6 points and led the team in rebounding (7), steals and assists. The year before she averaged 9 points per game and in 2011 for the 16U team she averaged 11 points per game. She was the # 28 wing out of HS and played 4 years with Stanford Frosh Brianna Roberson.
Kolbie Orum is a 6-3 frosh forward from Canada. A two time member of Canadian Jr teams. In HS Orum scored 1900 points and had over 800 rebounds in her last two seasons.
Sydney Wiese is a 6-0 frosh guard from Phoenix who was ranked 56, 66 and 80 by three sites out of HS. Wiese is an outstanding three point shooter hitting 114 as a Jr and as a SR was the Arizona large school Player of the Year.
The Schedule:
Penn State, Creighton, Clemson and then Notre Dame highlight their non-conference schedule. In the Pac 12 Oregon State plays Stanford, Cal, Utah and Colorado just once each.
The Team:
The Beavers return their top 3 scorers and 4 others who averaged 11-22 minutes per game.
Jamie Weisner is a 5-10 soph who was just outstanding as a frosh last season. Weisner averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per game leading the team in scoring and barely 2nd in rebounding. Jamie also led the team with 48 threes at 37%. Weisner played for the Canadian World Championships in the 19U tournament and averaged 17 points per game. Her father is from Canada. Jamie was one of the nation’s top javelin throwers in HS. It would not be surprising if Jamie averaged close to 20 points per game this season. She is outstanding.
Ali Gibson is a 5-11 Jr guard who averaged 9 points per game and made 40 threes. Gibson scored 12 points per game with 54 threes as a frosh. Ali is a fine all around player.
Alyssa Martin is a 6-0 Sr guard who averaged 7 points per game last season with 32 threes. Martin has started just about every game since arriving at Oregon State. As a frosh she averaged 12 points per game and as a soph she averaged 8 points.
Deven Hunter is a 6-3 soph forward who started almost every game as a frosh averaging 5 points and 6 rebounds per game. Hunter was ranked # 100 out of HS.
Ruth Hamlin is a 6-6 soph center who averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game playing behind Bright. Hamlin comes from a small town way north in British Columbia. She rides show horses. Hamlin also made the Canadian National team this past summer. She had games of 16 points and another with 12 rebounds. Hamlin is a key for the Beavers.
Samantha Siegner is a 6-3 soph forward ranked # 94 out of HS. Last season Siegner averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds in 15 minutes per game. Siegner’s improvement will be a key.
Khadidja Toure is a 5-9 soph guard who averaged 3 points per game in 11 minutes per game last season. Toure was the state of Oregon hurdle champion in HS. She scored 48 in one HS game.
The frosh will really help.
Predictions:
The Beavers can be a first place team. They are young but have talent and are pretty deep.
2014 Recruiting:
None so far that I could find.

Pac 12 Preview: Utah
First a bit about Colorado’s schedule, info I didn’t have for their preview story. Colorado plays the Oregon schools and Cal and Stanford once. They do play Final two team Louisville but other than that not real challenging. The Buffalos play New Mexico and Illinois as the toughest teams after Louisville.
Last Season, back to Utah: The Utes were 23-14 and made it to the Finals of the WNIT. The Utes were 8-10 in Pac 12 play.
Coaches:
Anthony Levrets returns for his 4th season as Head Coach after 3 seasons as an assistant at Utah.
Velaida Harris is in her 4th season as an assistant at Utah. She was Jillian Harmon’s Sr year High School coach.
Matt Legerski has been an assistant at Utah since 2003. His uncle is the Women’s Coach at Wyoming.
Willette White is in her 3rd season at Utah but has been an Assistant coach at Oregon, Washington and associate head coach at UCLA. White has 20 years as a Pac 10/12 assistant and received her Master’s degree from Ohio State the same year Amy Tucker received hers.
Losses:
Iwalani Rodriques and Rachel Messer were the starting guards for Utah and have graduated. Rodriques averaged 11 points per game and Messer 4. But Messer made 37 threes at 44% ( and made on 9 two pointers for the season), and Rodriques made 43 threes at 34%. Rodriques also led the team in assists and was 3rd in rebounding.
Chelsea Bridgewater averaged 1 point and 9 minutes per game.
Additions:
Wendy Anae is a 6-3 Frosh unranked forward from San Diego. She is a cousin to the Nawahine sisters.
Malia Nawahine is 5-10 frosh wing from Utah who like her sister and cousin grew up in California. Malia is unranked but scored 18 points per game last season in HS and shot 40% from three.
Valarie Nawahine is a 5-9 soph guard who transferred from BYU. I believe she sat out this past season so can play this year.
Devri Owens is a 5-8 frosh guard from Texas. Like the others above, she was not ranked out of HS.
Emily Potter is a 6-5 post from Canada with starting experience for the Canadian 17U and 19U teams. She was the 3rd leading scorer for the 19U team in the World Championships this past summer.
Schedule: The Utes play the Oregon schools and Cal and Stanford once. Nebraska and BYU are their toughest non-conference teams. They also play Utah State and UCSB.
Team:
Utah has two of the Pac 12’s best players but many unknowns after 6-3 Post Taryn Wicijowki, and Michelle Plouffe a 6-4 Sr Forward. Both women are Canadians and both are Srs. Plouffe averaged 17 points and 9 rebounds per game last season. Plus she hit 58 threes at 35% and led the team in steals, more than twice the next player. Plouffe has 1,566 career points and 865 career rebounds, huge totals going into her Sr season. Plouffe had sisters play at Washington and Marquette.
Wicijowski averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds per game. Taryn has 1,455 career points and 774 career rebounds.
Danielle Rodruquez started all but one game last season averaging 3 points and 3 rebounds. Rodriquez is a 5-10 soph guard.
Paige Crozon is a 6-1 soph wing who is also Canadian. Paige started 10 games last season averaging 4 points and 2 rebounds. Like all Utah returnees Paige can make threes.
Cheyenne Wilson is a 5-11 Jr guard who averaged 4 points per game.
The returning players who will provide support include Nakia Arquette a 6-1 redshirt frosh forward who hurt her knee in the 4th game last season. Ciera Dunbar is a 5-10 redshirt Jr guard with 3 knee injuries but did play in all the games last season averaging one point per game. Awa Kalmstrom is a 5-7 soph guard who just played a few minutes and the same for 6-2 Sr forward Ariel Reynolds.
There is certainly room for the frosh to play especially Potter although it’s not a highly rated class at all.
Prediction: Two very good post players and the frosh Potter should help up front. But the Guard/Wing play is pretty much unknown. If several guards and or wings step up it’s a solid team. If not then Utah falls to the 2nd division.
2014 Recruiting:
Joesetti Fatuesi, 6-2 Post, # 123, Tanaeye Boclair, 6-0, 3 star.
Last Season, back to Utah: The Utes were 23-14 and made it to the Finals of the WNIT. The Utes were 8-10 in Pac 12 play.

Pac 12 Preview: Washington
Last Season:
The Washington Huskies were 21-12 last season and 11-7 in Pac 12 play. This was after losing outstanding frosh Katie Collier to a knee injury.
The Coaches:
Kevin McGuff did a great job in his 2 years as Head Coach coming from Xavier but he left for the Ohio State position. His assistant Mike Neighbors has replaced McGuff. Neighbors was with McGuff for 4 years at Xavier and is a longtime assistant at age 44.
Kevin Morrison is in his 3rd year at Washington and was named by Neighbors as the Associate Head Coach. Morrison spent 4 years at Cal and before that was a well known travel coach in Northern California.
Adia Barnes returns for her 3rd season. Barnes is the U of Arizona’s all time leading scorer, being all Pac 10 three times in the late 90’s.
Fred Castro joins the staff from Tulsa where he was an assistant for the past 2 seasons.
Losses:
While the Huskies lost 5 from last season 3 didn’t play because of injuries. Kristi Kingma is a big loss as those of us who remember her rain of threes at Maples several years ago can attest. Kingma averaged 13 points per game and hit 86 threes at 31% while returning from missing the previous season with an ACL. Jeneva Anderson played every game but scored less than a point per game.
Additions:
Having 6-3 Redshirt Frosh Center Katie Collier healthy is huge. She can be outstanding. Collier was sidelined some in her Sr season being treated for cancer, and then tore her ACL before the first game last season. Collier was a McD All American and ranked # 20 in the country out of HS. She is due all the good luck possible, and with it you’ll see a very good offensive post player.
Kelsey Plum is a 5-9 guard, who will play and maybe start right away. Plum was ranked # 26 out of HS and is an outstanding three point shooter.
Chantel Oshahor is a 6-2 post ranked # 71. She is the best passing post player I have ever seen at the HS level. She and Collier will be outstanding together at some point.
Brianna Ruiz is a 5-10 guard ranked # 51. She may have gotten hurt in the off season a re-occurrence of her first ACL.
Marcy Keen is a 6-5 post transfer from Miami of Florida who will sit out this season and then have three years to play. Keen was ranked # 37 out of High School but struggled at Miami.
The Schedule:
Washington plays the LA schools and the Arizona schools just once each. Non-conference games include Texas A&M, St Mary’s and Pitt and then some teams that should be quite beatable.
The Team:
6 of the top 7 scorers and the top 2 rebounders return, although rebounding was a big weakness last season. The Huskies have 4 players back who started all but 6 total games last season.
At the guards will be 5-7 Jr Jazmine Davis and 5-8 Sr Mercedes Wetmore. Davis was a huge surprise once she got to Washington going from under recruited to the Pac 12 Frosh of the Year, and now a two time all Pac 12 player. Davis averaged 19 points per game last season hitting 71 threes at 36%, and 3 assists per game. Wetmore averaged 7 points and 3.5 assists per game as she and Davis started side by side for all but 3 games.
Collier at the Post.
Talia Walton is a 6-2 soph and Aminah Williams a 6-0 Jr and they will be the forwards. Walton averaged 14 points and 7 rebounds per game and added 57 threes at 31%. Williams averaged 9 points and 11 rebounds per game, and led the team in steals.
Heather Corral is a 6-1 soph wing who averaged 4.5 points per game in 19 minutes. Mathilde Gilling is a 6-3 soph from Denmark who played 8 minutes per game.
Add the frosh Plum and Osahor and you have 5 very good starters and good depth.
Predictions: This is a first division team and young with only one Sr. The Huskies are back.
2014 Recruiting:
Kelli Kingma, sister of Kristi is a 5-9 guard, # 86. Hannah Johnson is a 6-2 forward ranked about 170. Toree Thompson is a 5-9 guard ranked
# 123. Then there is the transfer Macy Keen.

Pac 12 Preview: Colorado
Last Season:
The Buffalos were 25-7 this past season, 13-5 in Pac 12 play and into the NCAAs where they lost in the first round to # 12 Kansas.
The Coaches:
Linda Lappe is back for her 4th season and she has proven to be one of the nation’s best coaches as the Buffalos keep improving with Colorado ranked 19th at the end of the season.
James Chatterton is the Associate Head Coach back for his 4th season.
LaTonya Watson is in her 3rd season under Lappe but also coached 9 years under previous coach Ceal Berry.
Kelly Rae Finley is in her 2nd year after 4 years at Harvard. She played for Lappe when they were at Colorado State.
Losses:
The Malcolm-Peck twins graduated and Kyleesha Weston transferred out. But together the three averaged less than 4 points and 4 rebounds per game. The huge loss is their great guard Chucky Jeffery. Jeffery averaged 14 points and 8 rebounds per game. Chucky also averaged 4 assists per game and led the team in points, rebounds, assists and steals. She is a big loss.
Additions:
Zoe Beard-Fails is a 6-2 forward ranked # 152. As a HS soph she averaged 27 points and 18 rebounds, but tore her ACL just into her Jr season. Last year she averaged 17 points per game.
Desiree Harris is a 5-8 guard from Oakland who averaged 23 points and 7 rebounds as a HS Jr. She was not ranked in the top 300.
Haley Smith is 6-1 wing from the state of Washington ranked # 302
Brianna Watts is a 6-2 Center from Fresno ranked # 163.
The Schedule:
I don’t have their non-conference schedule so will include that later. Colorado plays Stanford and Cal once and the Oregon schools once.
The Team:
Colorado returns 9 of their top 10 scorers and 8 of their top 9 rebounders. No shortage of experience for a team coming off # 19 nationally. Jen Reese will be the Center, she is a 6-2 Jr. Last season Reese averaged 8 points and 5 rebounds per game splitting time with 6-4 Sr Rachel Hargis. Reese was a Parade All American in HS. Hargis averaged 4 points and 3 rebounds per game.
At forward will be 6-1 soph Arielle Roberson and probably 6-2 soph Jamie Swan. Roberson’s parents and two older sisters all played college volleyball or basketball. Roberson averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds a game last season. Roberson also hit 21 threes at 41%. She will be a star this season. While Roberson started all but one game Swan only started one but averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds in just 14 minutes per game. Swan was ranked # 38 out of HS.
Brittany Wilson and Lexy Kresl started 52 of the 64 games last season. Wilson is a 5-7 Sr guard and Kresl is a 5-11 Jr guard. Wilson averaged 8 points per game hitting 32 threes at 29%. Kresl averaged 6 points per game leading the team with 34 threes at 31%.
Jasmine Sborov is a 6-0 Jr guard who started 10 games averaging 3 points per game. Sborov was a good HS High Jumper. Ashley Wilson, twin of Brittany is a 5-7 Sr guard who averaged 3 points per game. Lauren Higgins is a 6-1 redshirt frosh forward who got hurt after just 5 games last season. Higgins was the # 64 player out of HS and an excellent three point shooter.
The frosh are for the future, with so many experienced and skilled players returning for the Buffalos.
Predictions:
This is a very good line up with 4 solid reserves and then they have the 4 frosh. Colorado could well be a team that finishes in the top three in league play.
2014 Recruiting:
Becca Thomas is their lone commit thus far, a 5-4 four star Point Guard from Texas. However a number of good players will be visiting the Buffalos.
