My daughter is playing at Southern Indiana in the OVC, and they are allowed 8 hours a week for 8 weeks (4 hours/week strength training and 4 hours/week with coaches) in the summer. When school starts in two weeks, weight training 3 days a week, 4 1-hour practices a week until October, where I believe they will go to 2 hour practices every day. She’s allowed to have skill training with individual coaches, as much as she wants. I believe the men are on a very similar schedule.

Found this website providing a pretty thorough list of who is in the portal for all schools. https://heatcheckcbb.com/womens-basketball-transfer-portal-comprehensive-transfer-list-for-2023-24/#sec

Auburn picks up Clemson Sophomore Kionna Gaines. Appeared in all 35 games, making one start Averaged 2.4 points per game and 1.7 rebounds per game

Here's who I'm aware of:

Trick is going to be finding the mid-major ladies who are looking to move up. We won't be able to outbid the power 5 transfers. Days of taking a freshman and building her up into a solid starter by her senior year appear to be long gone.

It's not complete, as I've heard there are over 600 D1 Women in the portal, and this site only shows less than 300... https://wbbblog.com/womens-basketball-transfers-d-i-2022-23/ And I'll chime in on recruiting Nike vs UA vs Adidas. The Nike Girls EYBL is, I think, more competitive and has better players on whole than both the Adidas Gauntlet or the Under Armour league, but when my daughter played for a Under Armour team, and at their end of season tournament, I saw plenty of power 5 coaches. Will also add that when my daughter attended an Auburn Elite Camp prior to her freshman year, the Auburn Coaches had 10 girls from a Nike EYBL Team based in Alabama there, and those girls were the only campers (of about 50) the AU Coaching staff paid any attention to. But it looked like it was more personal connection between the AAU director and the Auburn staff. She ended up playing for a Nike BlueStar team her last 2 seasons, and signed with an Adidas team (although they are switching to Nike in June). I don't think which team she played for had any bearing on who recruited her (she was recruited by Nike, UA, and Adidas schools). The biggest girls tournament in the country, Run 4 Roses, has teams from all shoe brands.

I'm not that impressed with what I've seen first hand from the assistant coaches on recruiting trips. Summer 2021, I saw first hand assistant coaches at tournaments, and instead of actually watching high school girls play, seemed to be more interested in facetiming their significant other. Maybe they had silent commits, and they were there just to watch them play, so who knows. One of the girls that Mizzou signed played on my daughter's AAU team, and we are going to regret not even giving her a look.

I went to Auburn, my wife went to Auburn, my dad went to Auburn, my great uncle went to Auburn. My wife's sister went to Auburn, her husband went to Auburn, and my two nieces are currently at Auburn. My best friends went to Auburn, my cousins went to Auburn. Football is just a bonus.

Yikes! It’s my memory that isn’t so good! I was at both 93 and 94, and guess I got them mixed up.

Same. I can still picture Jackson running it back. But I think the interception was on Dean, who was one of the leaders for the Heisman, if I recall correctly.... He got benched, Wuerffel took over and never looked back.

If Dell hadn't gone to Auburn, but instead went to Troy or Bama, would you still feel this way?

And the 2006 team went all 4 years without losing a meet, going undefeated in their college career.

We head to Louisville tomorrow to play in Run 4 Roses. In 2019, three Auburn coaches attended. Something like 700 college coaches out scouting, games played on 68 courts, and over 900 teams are scheduled to attend.

I've heard that Auburn is pursuing top50-75 caliber girls, and is quickly learning that top50-75 caliber girls aren't interested in places like Auburn right now.
