She looks like she has not received any competent coaching the last two years. She is tentative, timid and shows very little offensive skills or defensive intensity. Layden, Jones, and Swanson all look better than her and two of those weren't ranked.

That's exactly how I would of described her play most of this season.. tentative, timid. That's why yesterday felt a little different, looked like she was more confident in herself. With Poole most likely out the next few games, Amiyah should get more PT.

When every ranked kid CKG has coached looks like a scrub, you have to start looking at coaching and not the talent of the players. As I keep pointing out we are more talented than MSU on paper, who is only two years away from a losing season and are now top 6 in the conference.

Yeah Robyn Fralick is impressive. Her resume at BG wasn't even that spectacular, but she has it rolling.

If/when CKG doesn't work out, do we look at a mid major up and coming coach? I'd be ok if the coach doesn't have Purdue ties, get the best coach available.

CKG like her teacher before her averages 2-4 transfers out a year. After this cluster I see no reason not to expect some of these girls to be sick of looking pathetic and want to go somewhere they can actually receive competent coaching.

It's possible, never say never. CKG might even have "the talk" with a couple players. There's only a few that seem like they could play in the big ten.

They’ll be players that leave and move down a level, this has to be miserable. Poole getting hurt sucked as well, Purdue needs her to play and get experience. I don’t see much hope from any players on this team, I’d play the younger ones and hope they develope, just not sure they’re any good as far as Big Ten caliber. The Reynolds sisters are an enigma, at this point neither has shown anything, I play the Frosh, maybe she’ll gain confidence, these were high 4 star (top 50-60) rated players, they look like MAC level at best to me. I hate to be so down on kids but this is what I see.

Chan went to UConn. Down to spindler who went to clarkston HS, which we historically have recruited well, and Coogan who is from Chicago and we offered out of HS. I think we are set at left side of line but maybe one could step in at RG. If they are capable of RT we could upgrade there. Maybe Tanona will help recruit them.

always nice to have depth, the one thing I noticed about top teams is their depth, if one 6'5 320 OL gets hurt the next 6'5 320 guy w/ tree trunk legs comes in to do well

Up to this point, no doubt. I'm going to give her some grace. Still a frosh who missed a year of basketball with injury. Let's see what she looks like down the stretch and into next season.

Gearlds has far greater issues than just Notre Dame and Kentucky. When you're taking 30 point beatings from basically everyone, you're in deep trouble. Our average margin of loss in the Big is probably approaching 30 points per game. Winning isn't everything, but how much fun can it be to be get your butt kicked every game? We're 0-9, it doesn't look likely that we will rack up wins against anyone anytime soon.

February 2nd is crucial, lose that game and our only hope is hosting NU to avoid a winless Big Ten season.

If I'm CKG, I'm taking ND off the schedule (believe it was just a 2 year agreement anyways) and making sure my Thanksgiving trip isn't against a top tier team. UK is locked in for another year.. I don't believe we'll pay to get out of that one. Rack up the non-conference wins like Minnesota, big ten is tough enough.

I'd be pretty disappointed if CKG brings in more than 2 transfers.. assuming our other players stay. I don't think we'll have this mass exodus of players.. it's not like we have some superstars waiting to burst if they join a new team.. still alot of benefits to being on a power 2 team compared to a mid major or Big east school. Winning isn't everything to players, although us fans would like it to be haha.

Are Harper and Smith still on the team? I realize this is women’s hoops and most don’t care but what happened to them?

With CKG as coach, 12 wins is about our ceiling. A .500 record doesn't seem likely ever under Gearlds. We are likely going to lose 2-4 players transferring out after this fiasco of a season unless there is a coaching change, so CKG will pick up the crack pipe once again and bring in 4-5 light talent portal kids yet again. Later, rinse, repeat.

Watched last night and failed to see any kind of offensive scheme. No one is cutting to the middle. All 5 players standing on the perimeter. In two periods we failed to score 10 points. Some of these players have talent but there seems to be no plan on how to use it. If this team wins another game this season, I will be surprised. Let me mention Ava Learn again, who transferred to Murray state and is averaging double figures and at least 7 double doubles. One that I miss!!
