PA all-state teams: https://www.ydr.com/story/sports/high-sch ool/baske...

Also Carly Krsul was named 4A honorable mention in Minnesota. That state makes it a bit tougher to get accolades, as the only options are 1st team or honorable mention. 4A consists of the largest schools. Krsul ended her career with 1,463 points, 295 blocks, and 896 rebounds.

And Julie Kulesza, a 2020 commit, made 1st team all-state (all groups) in Delaware, as did her sophomore sister.

There should be one more scholarship available. Any prospect of bringing in another recruit this late in the game? Or do they just hold it for next year and bring in an extra player then?

I believe Roussell was planning to hold it for next year. No idea if the new coach has different plans, but there are very few players who would be fits for the Bison available at this stage of the recruiting cycle. A lot more women than men sign in the early signing period, and the late signing period began 10 days ago. I would hate to see a late recruit brought in who is not as good as a player they could sign for 2020. I don't think I'd even consider someone who is not a center.

That's what I thought. They bring back a solid core and a strong recruiting class. As long as everyone stays healthy, they have enough depth for every position.

While I understand Bucknell's history (or lack of) with transfers, wonder if there is any chance to see a strong rebounding big come in from another school.

There is always a chance, especially with a new coach who has an available scholarship. What makes it somewhat less likely is that most of the undergrad transfers would have to sit a year and Bucknell doesn't have many grad programs to attract the grad transfers.

Kathy Fedorjaka did bring in some transfers in the 2004-09 period: Lillian Drumgold ( UNC-Wilmington), Brooke Tomovich (Loyola), Andrea Wright (Penn), and Jacquie Seawright (South Plains College (TX)). Of course she had more openings than Roussell has had.

Bison Women Recruits - High School Season

It appears that Brooke Mullin has decommitted from Bucknell and jumped to Villanova. Not good.

The timing suggests Bucknell gave her a release before the new coach was hired. If so, that is somewhat unusual, i.e. not giving the new coach a chance to re-recruit her.

Not good at all. She was likely to play a lot of minutes.

I would guess so. However remember that I am just speculating. It is possible that she met with Woodruff - although that would be an extremely short time frame for (a) him to get hired, (b) meet with her, (c) give her a release, and (d) then for her to commit to a new school.

Hopefully the other recruits stay committed, as two of them are likely to see major minutes this year.

I would speculate that it was an institutional decision made soon after Roussell's resignation. Recruits were likely contacted ASAP. If they asked, they would have been told that the University would be willing to offer a release under certain conditions, one of which would be the opportunity for the new coach to talk/meet with them. Another possible condition could've been eliminating certain schools, i.e., Patriot League schools. I believe this is SOP for most schools these days.

Yes, definitely SOP for most schools. The key is "e the opportunity for the new coach to talk/meet with them." Given how quickly she decommitted from Bucknell and then found a new home, I question whether Woodruff had time to actually meet with her.
