Hopefully not behind a paywall. Giving the Redbirds a fair amount of respect. Which is nice.
Last game I saw UW vs. ISU, 2021, the Redbird ladies were just "out-physicaled". UW ladies were bigger, stronger, faster. Even tho, at that time, they were an awful Big 10+ team. But ISU won last...
I know you know your way around Madison. There's a nice bar right across the street from the hotel, Genna's. Long time place, good cocktails and decent craft beer list on tap.

I posted on some thread here about this kid, I've watched him play a few times on TV/streaming and he's pretty solid. At least would give us something we don't have with his size and weight and skills. 6'10 225 lbs.

2 years at Missouri-KC (Summit League) before VSU.

We need shooters, Pedon says so. If we can't get shooters I'd take a scorer (Burford I'd say). Kinda hate to see him go, but you know, the portal giveth, the portal taketh away. Let's see what we get . . . .
I have not heard any Krabby rumors, he's been Gard's top guy for a while now. And has helped with all the Minnesota recruiting UW has had great success with. And half-way thru the year or so, Gard brought in former Badger Kirk Penney as a "special assistant to HC", so maybe anticipating Krabby...
