Because of that technical glitch, I'm going to go ahead and post the questions we've received.

George,
I wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of the bench players move on, but then again, I said the same thing last season, and everyone stayed. It seems clear that a few players on the bench aren't going to see much playing time going forward, but that isn't the only factor when a player is deciding whether to transfer....

... Jolette has said that they're done with the current recruiting class, which consists of guards Centrese McGee and Alexis Burke. Don't think you'll see them recruit a senior post player. Jolette has said that getting a 'big' is a priority for the Class of 2011.

Ohio State is the only Big Ten team that can come within 25 points of UConn or within 15 points of Stanford. Those two teams are head-and-shoulders better than everyone else, as they have demonstrated all season. No one will beat UConn; Stanford has the best chance but will need some help from the Huskies.

Efrem,
Don't worry. Jolette isn't going anywhere. She's finishing the third year of a five-year contract, so she'll be back in 2010-11. Next year, however, seems like a very important season for her future here. Obviously, Ron Guenther isn't going to extend her contract after this season, being as dismal as it's been. So next year there will be pressure on her to show that the program is moving in the right direction. In her three seasons, Illinois has finished ninth, ninth and ninth. If Illinois doesn't move up next season, Guenther won't be able to extend her contract, and then she'd be working on the final year of her deal in 2011-12, and that's never a good thing for a coach. It's impossible to recruit when you're working on the final year of your contract. So, in my opinion, improvement is critical next season. Otherwise, the situation appears untenable moving forward.
