In response to Columbia 37P6
You are very kind. Ivy League Women’s Basketball is high level basketball and fun to watch across the league.
Scholarship schools can have 15 women’s scholarship players. The Ivies, with no scholarships, have always had more players … there was a rule on how many recruited athletes a school could have over a four-year period and how many could travel. I feel those rules may have been relaxed over COVID. Brown had 19 players. Yale had 13 with Emsbo (but due to injuries only 9 played in 20+ games).
Reality few teams get to 10 players playing in the majority of games in a season. But you have to have practice players, develop players and be prepared for injuries and players moving on from the school or basketball. 20 players feels like too many – 13 is likely the minimum (which is the men’s scholarship limit).
I did include Fliss Henderson in the 23 class – in confirming her year as 23, I see there may be a 2025 Aussie commit to Columbia in Chloe Dix. Can someone confirm?

Five & a transfer seem like a full recruiting class … It is late for a 23 coming out of high school as a school would have to accept a very late application – but I think still theoretically possible at least until end of June / start of the next academic year … more likely a transfer … I am sure many Ivy and non Ivies would like a skilled 6-3 player  Still 400ish players in the portal!
