Hailey Van Lith is one of the hardest working, dedicated student-athletes to ever don a UofL WBB jersey. Alexis Mobley can jump out of the gym. There is speculation she may enroll early at UofL, to further bolster the WSBB front line. Let's not forget about dual-sport phenom Sydni Schetnan, headed to campus this summer. Payton Verhurst could come in and earna starting role and see significant minutes as a freshman. You're going to love what Emily Engstler and Chelsie Hall bring to the 2021-22 squad.
And, look who is returning! Kasa Robinson, Liz Dixon, Olivia Cochran, Norika Konno, Ahlana Smith, Kianna Smith, Ramani Parker and Merissah Russell.
Four starters, in K.Smith, Cochran, Van Lith and Robinson. A deep bench and very talented newcomers. Jeff Walz is sitting on a powder keg.
Yes, Dana Evans will be missed. Just like Asia, Angel, Shoni, Jude, Myisha, Jaz, Kylee, Cortnee and Arica were missed after their invaluable contributions to Cardinals WBB. . Players graduate and that's life, Others step up. It's all part of the process.
I can't wait for the 2021-22 season.
