There is a possibility that Evansville Memorial prospect, Sophie Johnson might try to walk on at UE. I have no idea what type of offers she is getting, but it may be from D2/3 schools. I watched a handful of Memorial games this year and believe she is the most athletic on the team. In the Sectional loss against Gibson Southern (who is playing for the State championship this Saturday) she dropped about 25 points -- often finishing at the rim.

She was just named to the Indiana All Star team, but has signed to play at Vermont.

Here is the list of Indiana All Stars. Good to see Camryn Runner will be at UE next year. "Camryn Runner, Hamilton Heights (Evansville): The all-time leading scorer in Hamilton County, Runner averaged 26.9 points (51% FG, 36% 3FG, 91% FT), 5.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 4 steals for the two-time defending regional champion Huskies. The 5-9 guard accumulated 1,962 points and 288 steals in her career." sports.yahoo.com/indiana-stars-ihsaa-girls-basketballs-135508264.html

Runner is clearly the plum of the Fall recruits. I’m not taking anything away from the other signees but I think Runner will have the greatest impact.
Add Runner to the existing players of K Striverson, Thomas and Hartwig and you gave a pretty good core of young players. I assume there are still scholarships to give in the Spring that maybe will bring in a strong overlooked center who can compete in the Valley.
Maybe Coach RSW can turn the corner next year.

Head Coach Robyn Scherr-Wells has signed freshman shooting guard Kaiden Kreinhagen to the 2024 University of Evansville women's basketball class.
"We are thrilled to officially welcome Kaiden to UE!" says Scherr-Wells on the signing. "Kaiden epitomizes the type of player we want to build our program with – she is tough and athletic, she loves to get in the gym and work at her craft, she can shoot the heck out of it. She will be a great representative of our program in the classroom and the Evansville community!"

I guess it’s a good thing we didn’t drop sociology.

Mira Hanna makes 15 players on the roster for 24-25. The UE womens side has already filled out the roster on the web site minus Hanna.

Thomas moving to Illinois St (where she will fit in nicely on a 22 win team) is going to be tough for us. With the xfer portal, any lower tiered team has to be concerned about their best players being recruited by the upper tier teams within the conference. In her 2 games against Illinois St she avg 19.5pts, 5.5 rebs and 3 steals.
Will newbies Claudia Clement and Mira Hanna fill the void? If not, the large crop of guards we have will need to shoot the lights out.

Not specifically trying to dismiss her talent, but it's not like the Aces would have been much worse regardless of who was on the roster.
