Kennedy Brown, 6-6 Soph Forward was a McD All American and ranked # 19. Last season was cut short with a knee injury and she will be redshirting this season. Last season in 23 games she averaged 6 points and almost 8 rebounds.
Taylor Jones, 6-4 Soph Post who was ranked # 15. As a frosh last season Jones averaged 12 points 7 rebounds and shot 58%.
Noelle Mannen, 5-6 Soph Guard walk on who was all league in three sports multiple years.
Jasmine Simmons, 5-11 Jr Guard from Australia, who averaged 3 points per game.
Predictions:
First all of the foreign players on the team are practicing so that’s a big plus. The foundation of the team are Jones at the Post, Corosdale at the 4 and Goodman at the point. The other two starters should be Goforth, a Frosh and Mack a transfer. At the latest report Aquino and Brown won’t be playing … a shame. Samuel and Subasic will provide the depth plus Mitrovic if healthy.
A thin team and not real experienced but an excellent coaching staff. Better than about 5thor 6th? That’s to be seen.

Great Kampschroeder, 6-0 Wing from IL, ranked # 12
