  • CM Said:
The depths to which this program has fallen are really sad. They fail to achieve what one would call the bare minimum to be considered a D1 program.






I'll be looking forward to see what they come up with for a schedule next season. Wouldn't be surprised if as many as three against D-III teams show up.

Well, last year they played Merrimack, Bryant, UNH, who were all ranked in the bottom 60 of D1.

But ultimately, no matter how weak a non-Ivy schedule they play, if they can't win a single Ivy game they're in huge trouble as a program.

Here's a whisper:

Brown assistants, Ugo Nwaigwe and Samantha Brenner have disappeared from Brown's website. There has been no announcement regarding their relocation.

Hmmmmmm.

I can return a whisper for Nwaigwe - she’s taken an assistant position at Northeastern: https://twitter.com/gonuwbasketball/statu s/1656654...

No word on Brenner based on a quick search.

Rats! I had already let myself get excited about her--background at Iowa, helped with Brown's resurrection--but I guess she's still a little on the young side. I doubt Brenner is the pick, either. But good sleuthing!

Had the same exact thought process. And then...Rats!

In any event, bet we see an announcement in the next few days. This is a big eval weekend for AAU. It would be unfortunate to be the only school in the country unable to participate.

Well they already missed the evaluation weekend in April and for sure will miss this weekend. Keep in mind there are only four AAU evaluation weekends in the year and Dartmouth will have missed half of them.

Imagine trying to sell that to a coaching candidate.

At least there’s one bit of good news. Doreen Ariik has removed her name from the transfer portal.

Ariik left the team after Thanksgiving last year and never returned. If she, in fact, returns to the team it will be a pretty damning indictment on the team culture under Shibles watch. You'd think she probably has 3 years of eligibility left, too.

Not really.

Young people change their minds all the time for all types of reasons. Without knowing specifics about why Ariik left the team, it's only a guess that she found playing for Shibles intolerable.
