Rutgers G/F Awa Sidibe out for the season

Just saw this on X. This is an awesome blow. Alec, any details? Unbelieveable. grrrrrrrrrr
 
Just popping over for the first time in a while, and this is the news I see? Ugh.... not good! Major loss for the team. I hope she will be okay. Wonder what the cause is.
 
This is why you fill out the roster or at least get close. Washington gets a pass for only having 8 players last year. Absolutely no excuse for not getting at least to 12 this year when the maximum is 15.

No depth and now even less
ot won't be easy, but I doubt most RUWBB fans thought it would be a walk in park.
Can only feel the coaching staff felt adding bodies that might not get playing time would hurt the chemistry in locker-room more than help rest starters during games

This may be a very hard lesson for her to learn as the season progresses.

maybe it's a case of not getting the type of players you want and not wanting to gamble a scholarship on a player you feel wouldn't be a good fit.
I think Coach Coquese is not really looking at this year to be a winning one, just trying to bring in the type of talent that fits her plan for the future

There is a lot written on this, with various takes, throughout WBB. A recent article highlighted Arizona's issues with getting the right players, balancing recruiting and the portal, and having "too many" players, which was 15, something Tasha said years ago at a Cager's meeting about 15 players. Add in "walk-on" issues now days as well, as some walk-ons want minutes in games (even if garbage minutes) versus a philosophy that their purpose is for practice and if they get in the game it is a rarity.

Very enlightening the difficulties the portal and the changing expectations of players have given coaches.
