Von Oelhoffen to U$C seems like overkill. The silver lining for opponents is that there's only one ball on the court at all times.

At least Beers didn't go to UConn.

Juju better be ready to pass the ball this year ;)

So much for everyone projecting her to average 30 a game and take down Clark's record.

This USC line-up feels very much like LSU coming into this year with a stacked, accomplished roster of All-American transfers and returners. We shall see how they mesh.

Sure looks like Gottlieb recruited over her freshman class. If I were someone like Heckel (who we recruited I think), I’d be pissed about burning a year of eligibility where I get no minutes.

Per the list above that is 14 players/scholarships, which means there is one more scholarship available.

Surprised she's not going to RISD and starting her own basketball team. <rim shot>

There are lists for everything, including the most valuable product/industrial design degrees. I think this is mostly about getting back to LA, playing for Gottlieb, making a lot of money in a short period of time to set herself up for what comes next, and at least making the Final Four. USC has an MS in Product Development Engineering jointly offered by the aerospace and mechanical engineering departments at Viterbi.

I wondered if this is the mother of all product design engineering degrees, so I found plenty of lists. Here's a ranked list "from sources across the web" (maybe this is AI - wohoo) returned from the query "best product design engineering graduate programs in the United States". Offered primary in the spirit of how silly these lists can be, but oddly enough there are several P5 basketball schools on this list. Plus whatever league all the art schools play in.

1. Georgia Tech
2. RIT (Rochester - legit design school is my understanding)
3. Arizona State
4. Auburn
5. Carnegie Mellon (Pittsburgh - underrated gem IMO)
6. ArtCenter College of Design (Pasadena)
7. Drexel
8. NC State
9. Stanford
10. Michigan
11. Iowa State
12. Kansas State
13. MIT
14. UC Berkeley
15. Clemson
16. College for Creative Studies (Santa Barbara)
17. Ohio State
18. Illinois Urbana-Champaign
19. Northwestern
20. Pratt Institute (Brooklyn)
21. Purdue
22. USC
23. Parsons School of Design | The New School
24. Cedarville University (Ohio)

No RISD? This list might be bogus.....Wait, it stopped at 24th, so I'll slot them in 25th.

Interesting to see a surplus of midwestern and western schools on that list.

When I lived and worked in Detroit (2014-2019), I participated on a volunteer task force to create the North American Design Institute, which was intended to combine an educational institute, a museum, working and living quarters, shopping and design and drafting facilities. It was a very ambitious project, and the idea was to focus on America's great designs, many of which originated in Michigan (automobiles, furniture, leather goods, etc.). They had proposed using either a former automobile construction site (Packard), or the original art deco AmTrak building. California was rumored to be working on their own version. Not sure of the current status.

RE: Iriafen hits the portal - scorecard - 04-29-2024

Just seems wrong that USC basically blows up the conference out of greed and then takes our best player and one of the best from Oregon State. As much as I loved Kiki, I will root for USC to lose every time if there is any karma left in this world. But it's getting harder and harder to root for anyone the way it's going, because all the best teams are poaching players left and right.

Agree 1000%, plus the impact that not having a Pac 12 or even a Pac 10 will have on the student-athletes in terms of time away from campus/class with respect to traveling.

5’9” combo guard Brooklyn Shamblin (unranked in Hoopgurlz) reclassified from 2025 to join USC’s 2024 entering freshman class. Fifteen scholarships assigned if no one enters the portal.
