Betts to UCLA. And probably her sister next year! Close has done a nice job at UCLA, but even with her great recruiting, she hasn't been able to win the Pac12. Maybe this, her last year, will be the year she wins it. She has a shot, but since she hasn't done it before, I'd bet against her. They may very well land Sienna next year, but at that point, I won't care anymore as they won't be in the Pac12.

Beavs could use another BIG. You got this coaches! Sure would of liked to get Betts out of Stanford! That would have been a major boost to a program that desperately needs one. Wonder if we were ever even on her radar once she decided to transfer? Betts and Reagan have played each other in high school a long time. I’m sure Reagan tried! OSU kinda started the tall post thing around college basketball, because Stanford always was hard to defend in the post! It just seems that our luck has changed starting with losing three possible inside hold overs from last year. ……..

We've landed a true game-changer in Beers. She just needs more of a supporting cast, which hopefully will happen with the continued development of her teammates and the promising in-coming players. Don't know about you, but I feel really good about this team going into next season!
Go Beavs!

I sure hope Beers and Gardiner are working on their stamina and wind sprints, because without even a single backup for the 4 and 5 positions, the two starters are going to have to play 35+ minutes each, per game.
Of course there is always the possibility that the 6'2" Hansford puts on 25 pounds of pure muscle in the off-season. (yeah, right)

Of course there is always the possibility that the 6'2" Hansford puts on 25 pounds of pure muscle in the off-season. (yeah, right) Considering past post players for the Beavs haven't played near that many minutes, I doubt you see it from Raegan and Timea next season. Ruth played a little over 27mpg her senior season, but that was the only year she averaged over 27mpg. Marie played 31+ per senior season, but that was her only year over 30mpg. Taylor played, well I didn't look it up, that girl was always in foul trouble. Deven Hunter's most mpg were 24+ as a sophomore. Timea and Raegan may end up 30+mpg, but that is probably expecting too much. Raegan is going to the AmeriCup trials in May, if she makes the team she goes to training in June. I'm guessing she still gets to go to Panama. I don't remember the dates on that trip. The AmeriCup games are in July, and then Italy basketball trip in August. That's a lot of summer basketball. Hopefully she will be fully rested and ready for the season this fall.

I'd really like to see Raegan getting 30+ minutes a game, it means she is not in foul trouble. I don't remember seeing her winded last year. At the end of the season she was bringing the ball up court. Physically she is in a different league than past post players in the Rueck era. She is much stronger.
That said, I am still hoping Rueck can find a usable big from somewhere.

I think foul trouble is the key here to her future success. She endured a ton of uncalled forearm "checks" to get to the hoop. Don't think the other teams aren't perfecting their flops. Hurry up November!

I really like the rest Iof her game. At first I was expecting her to get burned a lot considering she was all over the court. Somehow she managed to get back in position. She looked like the energizer easy shot.
