Breanna Cavanaugh is a 5-8 Frosh Guard. Cavanaugh was ranked from 66 to 100 by the four services. She is from New Jersey.
MaAne Mosley is a 5-11 Frosh Forward. Mosley is from Oakland and ranked as high as 69 and in the 100-150 range by the other services.
Asha Thomas is a 5-4 Frosh Guard. Thomas is from Oakland and ranked as high as 87 and in the 100-115 by the other services. Thomas tore her ACL but may be ready to play if not right away by the conference opener.
Chen Yue is a 6-7 Frosh Center from China. Yue is pretty much an unknown to the scouting sites, ranked just outside the top 100 by ESPN.
The Schedule:
Cal plays at Louisville, Texas A&M in Las Vegas and three homes games that could be tough, St Mary’s, Nebraska and in a neat scheduling arrangement, UCLA. The UCLA game is non-conference as the Bruins won’t visit Cal during the Pac 12 season.
The Team:
Cal lost a total of 101 starts and return a total of 69 starts, or close to half their minutes played. In points scored Cal lost 45 of 70 per game. So a new team in many respects.
Mikayla Cowling is a 6-2 Soph Forward who scored 10 points and grabbed 5 rebounds per game. Cowling shot a great 49% from the field. She will be very good.
Gabby Green is a 6-2 Guard who scored 7 points and pulled down 6 rebounds per game. Green shot just 34% from the field and 29% from three while making 37 threes. Green’s shooting must improve. Green was 2nd on the team in assists and could be the Point Guard or a Wing.
Courtney Range is a 6-3 Jr who scored 9 points and had 5 rebounds per game. With Green, Range and Cowling the Bears return three outstanding players.
Penina Davidson is a 6-3 Soph Post or Wing who can shoot the three. Last season she averaged 3 points and 1 rebound in 12 minutes per game.
KC Waters is a 6-2 Jr pst who hasn’t played much.
Cal has 5 Frosh, 3 Sophs and no Srs so a very young team, maybe the youngest in the Pac 12. Anigwe will start and almost certainly three other frosh will be in the rotation.
Predictions:
So young so very hard to predict. I think they will battle several teams for 4th-6th place.
2016 Recruiting:
Celeste West, 6-3 Post from CA, ranked 48 by Prospects Nation
Jaelyn Brown, 6-1 Wing from CA ranked 39 by Prospect Nation
Last Season:

The Coaches:
Lindsay Gottlieb is in her 5th year as Head Coach at Cal after 3 years as Head Coach at UCSB and two years before that as the lead Assistant at Cal.
Charmin Smith with 2 degrees from Stanford returns for her 9th season at Cal and is now the Associate Head Coach.
Kai Felton is back for her 5th year at Cal. Kai has been an Assistant at Oregon, 2 years, and at USC, 5 years.
Jeff Cannon is in his 2nd year at Cal, coming from five years as an assistant at Long Beach State.
Losses:
Brittany Boyd was an outstanding player and a high draft choice into the WNBA, currently with New York. Boyd averaged 13 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists as the starting point guard for the past 4 seasons.
Reshanda Gray was the starting Center for the Bears averaging 17 points, high on the team with Boyd 2nd and 7 rebounds, second to Boyd. Gray was a high draft choice and plays for Atlanta.
Mercedes Jefflo was dismissed from the team. Jefflo averaged 10 points and started every game.
Justine Hartman was the back-up Center averaging 9 minutes and 2 points.
Brittany Shine averaged 8 minutes and 2 points.
The Bears lost their top three scorers, and three players who started all but the one game Boyd missed.

Pac 12 Preview: UCLA
Last Season:
19-18, 8-10 in Pac 12 play. However UCLA was 13-18 until they won 6 straight to win the WNIT.
The Coaches:
Cori Close is in her 5th season with the Bruins, winning at a 54% rate.
Jenny Huth is also in her 5th season as are Tony Newnan and Shannon Perry. The Bruin staff has had no turnover under Close.
Losses:
Biggest loss is Recee Caldwell who transferred to Texas Tech. Caldwell was just a Frosh and played only half the season, missing the 2nd half with an injury. Caldwell averaged 7 points in 25 minutes. She was a top, top recruit.
Luiana Livulo started half the games but played only 10 minutes and averaged 2 points and 2 rebounds.
Corinne Costa started most games averaging 22 minutes, 5 points and 5 rebounds but also set UCLA shot blocking records.
Madeline Poteet, formally Brooks, averaged 2 points.
Savanna Trapp the 6-9 recruit has never played and not on the roster.
Additions:
Ashley Hearn is a 6-4 Frosh Post. Hearn was ranked 12, 15, 30 and 34 out of HS and a McD All American. A top recruit who will play a lot as a Frosh.
Kennedy Burke is a 6-1 Frosh Wing. Burke was All State in California and ranked 16, 19, 33 and 41 out of HS. Two top recruits.
With just two players this Class was ranked # 17 overall.
Nicole Kornet is a 6-1 Guard who transferred from Oklahoma. Nicole was a top HS recruit ranked from 19 to 68. She will redshirt this year and have her final season next year. At Oklahoma Nicole averaged about 5 points per game in her three seasons, but had games of 26 and 21 points.
The Schedule:
South Carolina, probably Notre Dame, Michigan and St John’s. They also play Cal in a non- league December game and very interestingly are not playing UConn. The Bruins don’t travel to Cal or Stanford and don’t play Utah or Colorado at home.
The Team:
The Bruins top three returning scorers are guards so I’ll present a three guard line up, which they used last season. Nirra Fields is a 5-9 Sr Guard who led the team in scoring with 15 points per game. However she shot just 39% and 27% from three. Her improved shot selection is the key.
Jordin Canada is the Point Guard, a 5-6 Soph. Last season Canada averaged 12 points over 4 assists per game with a 1.2 ratio of assists to turnovers. However Canada shot just 38% and 17% from three.
Kori Korver is a 5-9 Jr who averaged 10 points per game, while shooting 41% from three. Korver made 74 threes twice the number as Fields who was 2nd on the team.
Monique Billings is 6-4 Soph Post who averaged 6 points and 5 rebounds in just 16 minutes.
Lajahna Drummer is a 6-1 Soph Forward who averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds in 16 minutes.
The Frosh Hearn and Burke should see many minutes in the rotation.
Kacy Swain is a 6-3 Sr Forward who averaged 4 points and over 4 rebounds in 14 minutes.
Kelli Hayes is a 6-0 Soph Guard who went to Mitty HS. Hayes averaged 2 points in 12 minutes.
Paulina Hersler is a 6-3 Soph who played 5 minutes per game and Dominque Williams is 5-8 Jr Guard who also averaged 5 minutes per game.
Predictions:
If the Bruins shoot better than last season’s just under 40%, they will challenge for the Title. They have the players with great skill. Or they shot 40% and fight for 4th place.
2015 Recruiting:
Ally Rosenblum from SoCal, 6-3 Post ranked # 77.

Pac 12 Preview: Washington
Last Year:
23-10, 11-7 in Pac 12 play. Lost 86-80 to Miami in the first round of the NCAA.
Coaches:
Mike Neighbors is in his 3rd season as Head Coach after 2 seasons as an Assistant at Washington.
Adia Barnes is in her 4th season as an assistant. Barnes is the all time leading scorer at Arizona.
Morgan Valley is in her first year as an assistant, coming from Virginia Tech. She played at UConn.
Fred Castro is in his 3rd season at Washington as an assistant coaching the Guards.
Jackie Nared is in her 2nd season as the Director Player Development. That’s a non coaching position. Jackie scored 22 points per game 2 years ago at St Mary’s.
Losses:
Washington lost two top starters in Jazmine Davis and Aminah Williams. Davis was the 2nd leading scorer at 16 points per game and led the team in assists at over4 per game.
Williams led the team in rebounding at 9 per game and scored 9 points per game.
Additions:
Deja Strother is a 6-5 Frosh Center who was ranked # 35 out of HS.
Hannah Johnson is a 6-1 redshirt Frosh Froward who had to sit out last season with an injury. She was ranked # 83 out of HS and the Southern Section of California Player of the Year two years ago. Johnson is a strong rebounder.
Heather Corral is a 6-1 redshirt Jr Wing who sat out last season with an injury. Corral is the sister of former USC great Ashley and was the Washington HS Player of the Year. Heather played just 7 games as a Soph so has missed almost two full seasons.
Schedule:
Not strong, Texas Tech, Syracuse and Oklahoma are the toughest non-conference games. The Huskies non-conference schedule is ranked # 8 in the Pac 12. The Huskies don’t play Stanford or Cal at home or travel to the Oregon schools. So they get a big break there.
The Team:
There are three potential post players, one of whom is the Frosh Strother.
Another is 6-3 redshirt Jr Katie Collier. Collier had cancer as a HS Sr then hurt her knee as a Washington Frosh missing the year. She was ranked 22 out of HS and a McDonalds All American. Last season she averaged 3 points and 2 rebounds so maybe she will never be the same but I’m rooting for her.
6-2 Jr Chantel Osahor averaged 5 points and 6 rebounds can shoot the three and is a great passer, although lacks quickness.
The Great Kelsey Plum now a Jr returns at Guard. Plum is 5-8 and averaged 22.6 points last season and hit 69 threes at 40%.
Brianna Ruiz returns at Guard as Washington played three Guards last season. Ruiz is a 5-10 redshirt Soph who averaged 5 points.
Talia Walton is a 6-2 5th year Sr who averaged 13 points and 6 rebounds last season. Walton made 59 threes at 39%.
Johnson and Corral previewed above will certainly contribute.
Kelli Kingma is a 5-8 Soph Guard. She will be much improved over last season when she averaged just 9 minutes a game. She is the sister of Kristi a former great Husky.
Khalia Lark is a 6-0 So Wing. Lark averaged 2.4 points in 9 minutes of play.
Mathlide Gilling is a 6-3 Sr Post, who hasn’t played much at Washington.
Predictions:
As far as Plum can take them, but probably middle of the pack.
2016 Recruiting:
Aarion McDonald, 5-6 PG from CA, # 51.
Mai Loni Hensen , 5-11 Wing from CA

Beth Burns is in her 2nd season as an assistant. Beth has been a Head Coach for many years and worked at Stanford once.
Jualeah Woods is in her 3rd year as an assistant. Ironically she replaced Burns briefly at San Diego State and was a Burns assistant for 6 years.
Taja Edwards is in her 2nd year as an assistant.
Losses:
Two graduated, two transferred and one was dismissed mid last season, and another transferred right after the season started.
The top three scorers graduated (2) or transferred (1). Alexyz Vaioletama was the leading scorer at 12 points per game and tied as the leading rebounder at 7 per game.
Kaneisha Horn was tied as the leading rebounder at 7 and was the # 2 scorer at 10 points per game.
McKenzie Calvert averaged 10 points as a highly recruited Frosh and transferred to Kansas.
Amy Okonkwo averaged just 7 minutes but 3 points per game and transferred to TCU.
Kiki Alofaituki averaged 7 points in 12 games before leaving the team. Kiki was a Sr last year.
Additions:

Temi Fagbenle is a 6-4 Grad student who played at Harvard for 3 seasons, injured her fourth. Temi averaged 13 points during her Harvard career and last season 14 points and 10 rebounds. She was twice All Ivy League and in HS was the Gatorade Player of the Year in New Jersey and ranked # 13 out of HS. Temi averaged 5 points and 4 rebounds in the 2012 Olympics for her native England.
Aliyah Mazyck is a 5-9 Frosh Guard from North Carolina. Probably a Point Guard at USC ranked # 58 .
Marguerite Effa is a 6-3 Post from Los Angeles. Effa is a two time LA City Player of the Year, averaging 23 points per game in her HS career. She was born in Cameroon.
Those are the six new players, however there is another who has been practicing with the USC team. Sadie Edwards is 5-10 Soph Guard who transferred from UConn last December. Edwards played 6 games with UConn and will be eligible in December. She was the # 8 player out of HS in the country.
The Schedule:
West Virginia and Gonzaga are the only challenges on the non conference schedule, ranked the 11th toughest, or 2nd easiest in the Pac 12. USC doesn’t play at either Stanford or Cal nor do Utah or Colorado travel to USC.
The Team:
Jordan Adams is a 6-1 Redshirt Jr Point Guard, thus starting her 4th year at USC and is already a graduate and working on her Masters. Adams was a McD All American and a top 10 player out of HS. Injuries, she missed most of her Frosh year, have contributed to her career 39% shooting and 21% from three. However we remember she scored 21 points against Stanford. Last season Adams averaged 7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
Brianna Barrett is a 5-7 Sr Guard who started every game last season averaging 10 points but shooting just 36% and made only 8 threes. She did average 4 assists per game. Like Adams Brianna has already graduated and in a Masters program.

Drew Edelman is a 6-4 Jr Center from Menlo School and Sunnyvale. She hasn’t played much thus far.
Predictions:
So hard to tell with just 6 players back and 2 didn’t play much last season. New players look very good on paper but outside of Edwards and Fagbenle, can they contribute in their first year?
2016 Recruiting:
Valarie Higgins, 6-0 Wing # 31 from So Cal

June Daugherty is in her 9th season at Washington State, after a number of seasons as Head Coach at Washington
Mike Daugherty, June’s husband, is also in his 9th season.
Ashley Gill (Glover) is in her 4th season at Washington State.
Rod Jensen is new to the staff. He didn’t coach last year but coached the Cougar Men 2 years ago. Jenson has 30 years of experience and is known as a fine defensive coach.
Losses:
The Cougars lost their top three scorers so huge losses.
Lia Gladeira led the team in scoring with 20 points per game. Lia also averaged 6 rebounds and with Pressley had over half the team’s steals. Lia had another year but left early to play professional overseas.
Tia Pressley was 2nd on the team in scoring with 16 points per game.
Shalie Dheenshaw was 3rd on the team in scoring, 9 points and 1st in rebounding with 7 per game.
Additions:
Maria Kostourkova is a 6-4 Frosh Center who played on the 18U team for her native, Portugal. She averaged 14 points and 12 rebounds in the World 18U tournament, in 2014. Last year in the 20U she averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds. Named the 3rd and 4th best international college player by two sites.
Borislava Hristova is a 6-0 Wing from Bulgaria. Hristova averaged 27 and 24 points per game in the last two European tournaments, 18U then recently 20U. She was called the top international recruit by one site.
Alexya Swedlund is a 5-11 Guard from South Dakota. Alexya was Ms Basketball for South Dakota. She scored 2,002 points in her HS career and averaged 25 points as a Sr.
Nike McClure is a 6-3 Redshirt Frosh from Washington who sat out last season. Close to a top 100 player out of HS.
Krystle McKenzie is another redshirt Frosh and a 5-8 Point Guard from Australia.
The Schedule:
Some good teams are on their pre-season schedule including Oklahoma State, Kansas, U of San Diego, Gonzaga and St Mary’s. Big break as the Cougars play the Oregon schools, Stanford and Cal just once each.
The Team:
Mariah Cooks is a 6-1 Sr Forward who averaged 7 points and 5 rebounds. Cooks is the top returning scorer and the number 2 returning rebounder.
Louise Brown is a 6-2 Soph Forward who averaged 4 points and 6.5 rebounds last year. Brown is an Aussie.
Dawnyelle Awa is a 5-9 Sr Point Guard who started every game last season averaging 5 points and had a better than 2:1 assist to turnover ratio.
These three are the only returnees to starts a game last season, Awa and Cooks started all their games and Brown started half of the games.
I believe these three will start along with the international Frosh, Kostourkova and Hristova.
Taylor Edmondson is a 5-11 Sr Guard who averaged 5 points in 18 points.
McClure, profiled above is a strong rebounder.
Pinelopi Payopoulou is a 5-8 Soph Guard from Greece who averaged 12 minutes and 2 points last season. There are five other players on the roster who averaged 4 to 7 minutes last season.
Predictions:
The Cougars lost two outstanding players and a third good player so the need to rebuild. They will be depending on several international recruits to do so. If they jell, they could be good, but a big if. The Cougars have seven international players.
2016 Recruiting:
Chanelle Molina 5-6 PG from Hawaii # 39.

Additions:
Liz Brenner is a 6-1 Sr Post player. Brenner is an All American in Volleyball and in T&F throwing the javelin. She played basketball as a Frosh and Soph joining the team after Volleyball.

Oti Gildon is a 6-1 Frosh Forward. Gildon is from Gonzaga Prep in Spokane and was the # 38 recruit in the US per ESPN.
Mar’Shay Moore is a 5-8 Jr Guard. Moore played HS basketball in Vancouver Washington and had a game where she scored 47 points. She has played the past two seasons at Blue Mountain JC in Vancouver. As a JC Frosh she averaged 18 points per game and as a JC Soph she averaged 24 points and 8 rebounds.

Lauren Yearwood is a 6-3 Frosh Post from British Columbia. Yearwood has played on 4 Canadian National teams and had a fine summer on this year’s 19U team in the World Tournament averaging 8 points and 8 rebounds.
Yes 8 newcomers although Brenner has played two years and Vandenberg has practiced a year with the Ducks. The Ducks have just 5 returning players.
The Schedule:
Preseason games start at North Carolina then the other 10 all at home. Toughest might be Clemson, then North Dakota. The Ducks will have an excellent preseason record. They play the Washington and Arizona schools just once each. This is the easiest Pac 12 Non conference schedule
The Team:
One has to start with All Pac 12 and 3rd Team All American 6-3 Post Jillian Alleyne. Jillian averaged 18 points and 15 rebounds per game this past season.
Lexi Bando is a 5-9 Sr Guard who was 3rd on the team in scoring at 10 points and also hit 55 threes at 44%.

Jordan Loera is a 5-9 5th year Sr Guard who averaged 4 points last season. She also hit 44% of her threes.
Katie Gruys is a 6-0 Sr Forward who saw little action.
So 4 returnees really but Oregon’s top 3 scorers and three of the four.
No question the new Big Posts Vandenberg and Yearwood will see a lot of action along with Grad transfer Cooper and the two top frosh Gildon and Cazorla.
A deep team despite their returning just 4 from last season.
Predictions:
Right now fighting for a top 4 in the conference position, but more likely to be in the middle 4.
2016 Recruiting:
Just a great class and they may not be done.
