It’s still early times, I guess. We’ll see. She may be happy with life overall at Michigan and still see a path to a bigger role. She’s witnessed it happening for players like Kiser and Hobbs.

Former teammate of Swords
Don’t we need a post?
Yes very badly
I’d say she has more upside than Yulia did, at least on the defensive end. She was a Burger Baller as a HS senior.
At worst, it’s a wash. I don’t know if we’re recruiting her, though. It’s much harder to find out what’s going on with women’s recruiting.

It sounds like Michigan is involved
That would be dope. Close it up, KBA (and Syla)!
Sounds like a combo of starting spot availability and being a teammate once again with Syla is a good selling point for KBA.
I would hope that KBA would try to get two bigs in the portal because asking Greta who isn’t a big to guard bigs is a very tough ask.
That would be pretty huge. Kate was the #5 overall recruit in the 2024 class to ESPN, right behind Swords. Having three top-20 sophomores on this team would be wild.
Greta was a senior, so that option is gone. Dunbar (EDIT: I meant DelFosse) has some height (6’3") and length, but is very thin. Another 6’4"-and above option, in addition to Koval, would be great. UCLA is about to have two towers, with 5-star Sienna Betts joining her sister Lauren. It feels like size is the main thing right now that’s keeping us from being in the mix for a B1G title.
My point is KBA was asking a non-big player to guard bigs. She needs an actual big to do so. Yulia was a big sized but she was a backup and didn’t play all that much hence the transfer. Michigan do not have a big on the roster.
Koval and Grabovskaia have pretty similar stats, but Koval is 19 and Grabovskaia is 24.
I think Koval is an absolute no-brainer take if you can swing it
Playing close to 20 mins as a true freshman on Torvik’s #4 team in the nation is good.
We need a Trilly for women’s hoops ( maybe a Phat Summit?) on the socials that has that inside info, so we know a little more of what’s going on.
They do predictions (commits and portal) on Trilly’s discord too (associated account).
They do. Slim Milky. Lol. On the same discord as Trilly. Its pretty decent amount of info there. Not as much as the men, but……
I’m off Elon.
Thanks for the link to the Discord, though!
@SkimMilkey is the WBB Twitter equivalent of Trilly. I think it may even be Trilly that runs the account. Not sure about his level of connection in WBB compared to MBB though
Skim, not slim. Sorry.
Didn’t realize Jaime Jaquez has a sister that also plays for UCLA.
