According to this, Lauterbach is expected to return too. Two 6’7" players on the team.

I’m totally down with Lauterbach coming back. She was fun and seemed like a good teammate.

Also, it was wild that the tallest player on the team, by far, took 1/3 of her shots from 3 point range.

Well that’s a bit of a gut punch.

Huh didn’t think the portal was on the table. But not like the team is losing out on a critical piece given she hasn’t played in a year.

Grad school maybe?

How well she came back from that injury is the big question mark. If she were to be as good as she’d been in 2022-23, then it’s a huge loss given the absolute lack of front court production we currently have. If she’s limited still, though, then it was what it was and we were going to have to supplement her anyways.

For sure assuming she is healthy and can go then she is a talent and it will be missed on a team that is short of front court players. I look at it kind of like missing out on a recruit, Mir was essentially not part of the current version of the team so they are only missing out on potential, or what-ifs. Now when she goes to MD and drops 16 and 10 every night I’ll be pissed.

Any ideas on the context here?

Sounds like she found her Mir replacement

Replacing the non-playing Mir from this year: not hard.

Replacing the dominant athletic hoops machine from the year before: very hard.

Do we know what Coach Mox’s post from a few days ago was about? Haven’t seen a new portal addition since the Maryland Center last week.

Just saw that Taylor got a training camp contract with Minnesota
