It's okay, we'll move on from this. Good luck to them wherever they finish their careers.

They probably know they wont get much playing time for their final years.

 

Bre Brooks wont get much playing time as Springfield will be a senior, Laura Marcos Canedo as a Jr plus Laia Flores will be getting more minutes as a Sophmore

and we are probably even more deep at the Forward position for Naylor to find any time.

 

Good moves for both of them to find a place to play

But many thanks for their contribution and good luck to them wherever they end up and hope they tear it up (except against USF, of course)

This is great too as it frees up 2 more scholarships for CJF to go out and bring in some more elite international talent. We should have 4 scholarships available now (these two, plus the two graduating Seniors).

Bulls women add another European star

A week after the USF women's basketball team's historic season ended, Coach Jose Fernandez appears to have replenished the long-range proficiency that exited his roster.

Kitija Laksa, a 6-foot wing player from Latvia, has committed to USF and is expected to sign when the NCAA's spring signing period begins April 15. A member of her country's senior women's national team, Laksa, 18, is averaging 9.1 points and 2.2 rebounds for the TTT Riga basketball club.

TTT Riga (20-1) is competing this week in the final four of its Latvian league playoffs.

If she signs, Laksa will become the sixth European player on Fernandez's roster. She's expected to fill the void created by the departure of perimeter sharpshooter Tamara Taylor (team-best 58 3-pointers), the only senior among the 15 Bulls who suited up for their two recent NCAA Tournament games.

I'm glad they added her age in there. Otherwise I'm picturing her with a walker...

Naylor was a nice player who could fill in at various positions.  Wasn't Brooks a JuCo transfer with just 1 year remaining?  If so, she probably wasn't going to get a lot of time at the point as others have mentioned.  Hope Jose has some signing surprises in store at the front court positions.  We could use some more talented bigs.

Hopefully someone who can dunk it!! Like maybe Georgeann Wells' daughter??? Too bad she already signed with Xavier

 

Great story at WSJ about finding the long-lost tape of the first-ever NCAA dunk back in 1984. Watch the video

35% 3pt shooting is always good. From a 6 footer, even better
