okay we also just showed up on LBSU’s schedule, as they’re scheduled for a tournament in Tucson Sept 14-16. much better team than any we’ve hosted recently. I’m liking this schedule more and more. On a side note…what do we have to do to get Kelly here? We need a middle.

I like this non con already! I’m assuming our opening tourney will be nothing but cupcakes but we have been asking for better non conference games forever. Let’s go Rita! Look for Pacific and UNC, haven’t heard about the other team.

Just a typical announcement article we do for transfers. Still have to write up something about my talk with the coaches last week, but I have had this written for a while and wanted to get it posted now that she's announced. While they still need help in the middle and we have to see what happens with the setting, Rita's first team has shaped up nicely. I haven't covered an NCAA team at Arizona since Kendra Dahlke's final season. It would be nice...

If we can add a solid middle this could be a really good team. Setting will still be a question, but offense should not be an issue.

Okay, Arizona fans, please answer for me this stupid question.
If y’all are the WildCATS, then why is the tagline BEAR down? Granted, “cat down” makes zero sense. But it’s confusing. I had to stalk y’all’s Twitter to figure out which emoji to use for my Badgers “schedule as emojis” post.
Speaking of which, I can’t wait to see Wilson in the Field House this fall! Congrats to you all, and to her.

Congrats to you all, and to her. "Bear Down" comes from the possibly apocryphal last words of Button Salmon, a QB and student body president in the early 20th century. "Bear" is a verb not a noun. 🐻🙂 arizonawildcats.com/sports/2013/4/18/208236191.aspx

What would Arizona’s starting line up look like with the addition of the OH from USC? Jaelyn Hodge/Jordan Wilson Alayna Johnson/Nicole Briggs (hopefully a transfer here) Sofia Maldonado Diaz/likely Ana Heath, possibly Kasen Rosenthal Becca Morse Lots of firepower... but where is the ball control

Becca will be the libero but after that it’s a big question mark. Hopefully Joy will have taken a jump, maybe one of the freshman can step up. Mackenzie who just committed came from a very competitive club team, so maybe she can step in and contribute immediately.

Id expect Wilson to pass, or at least work on doing so. Maybe DS'd part of the time though.

Particularly when it comes to Sophia. She is so good offensively from the back row that we can’t take her out.
