New Player!

I don't know if any of you are aware, but Whitney Ritchie is going to be joining the team this fall. She was a two time all American tennis player during her four years at OU. I don't know how it works with NCAA and eligibility, but I do know it was just recently confirmed.

She is a heck of a tennis player but she hasn't played basketball since she was a freshman in high school. I know she is friends with some of the girls on the basketball team. Even though she will probably have fun, I doubt she will see significant minutes.

How much eligibility would she have (how many years)?

Probably like Carly's year with the vollyball team, 1 year.

Back up Point Guard? Or just squad depth? It seems we have sufficient players for games and practice. We don't need a 2, as much as we need good team leaders, and positive vibes. Maybe she can help with that, as Sharane is the only senior. As much success as she has had in tennis, she probably has good practice habits, and can help set an example.
Does anyone know reasons for her addition?

That sounds good to me. Maybe some leadership skills as well.

Never hurst to have extra leadership on the team.

Does she have a younger sister who plays basketball?
