WBB 16/17 Season
- Thread starter cyberhawk
- Start date
Thanks Oakhawk. I was thinking the draft might be later than that but as far as I am concerned, 'the sooner the better'. Now I have a couple more questions, and they are for anyone who wants to reply. First, who will be the number one over all pick, and second, which of the new freshmen will be the first to be selected . I'm thinking Chase and Megan will be the first two to be chosen. After that I believe Alexa, Carly, Hannah and Christina in no particular order. I'll guess that Kathleen will be the first of the freshmen to be picked. I'm excited for the GTL season to begin.

Speaking of Larson...they announced a change due to NCAA rules for GTL.
New schedule for Game Time--Game Time will play every Wednesday, from July 7 to July 29. Tryouts will be June 25 at 10 am at NDAC.
** Draft is June 27 **
This year Game Time is a league but not an event, as defined by the NCAA, and therefore no Division I college coaches may attend. Thanks for your cooperation.

At one time there was an open period during part of the GTL where coaches could come . And Lisa could come to see her daughter play last year.
On a positive note, Ally's internship ends July 9. So she could play in at least part of the games. It looks like according to the announcement that they will only play 4 or 5 games.

North Liberty will host the women’s Game Time League on four consecutive Wednesdays, beginning on July 6 and concluding July 27 without a postseason. UNI’s women do not participate alongside the Iowa players.
Disappointing, only 4 games, and no play-offs.

On coach Jensen's Instagram she posted an image of the team talking to the campers... Looks like Alexa Kastanek is wearing a walking boot - any idea what her injury is?

Christina is trying out for the Canadian Developmental Women's National Team (or Senior B Team)
She should know later this week if she makes the squad. If so, she will train with them this month and travel to Europe for a couple exhibitions.
If not, she will play in the GTL.
FR at first practice! L-R Kathleen Doyle, Makenzie Meyer, Alexis Sevillian, Bre Cera, Amanda Ollinger
He was a little bit too much of a 'homer' when it came to the refs, but overall he will definitely be missed!

WOMEN’S HOOPS GETS BIG TEN PATH
The Big Ten announced on Monday the home-and-away series, as well as the single-game home and away series for every Big Ten school.
...the full nonconference schedule has not been announced yet...

It looks like all the media people were caught up in Zach Johnson's event and Bob Brooks passing. I don't think anyone covered it. No listings of rosters that I can find.
The PTL/GTL site still has 2015. The PTL draft was four days ago and nothing has been updated.

The Game Time League website posted a message that the draft had been postponed to Thursday June 30th. That's tomorrow. Hopefully information will come out then. Prime Time League rosters are out somewhere, though not on PTL's site. There is a link in one of the threads.
Without UNI, the GTL is very limited. In previous years UNI would account for nearly a third of the participants. Now, not only does make it hard to get enough players, but the level of the competition is undoubtedly lower. I am disappointed with my Alma Mater.
It takes a tic down without UNI, but they get some good small college players, and ex-college players.
2016 Hawk pairs in GTL
Ally Disterhoft, Christina Buttenham (they also have a very good PG, ex-Luther Moran Lonning)
Megan Gustafson, Bre Cera (the Wisconsin duo)
Chase Coley, Makenzie Meyer
Alexa Kastanek, Amanda Ollinger
Hannah Stewart, Alexis Sevillian
Kathleen Doyle, Hailey Schneden
Not playing at this point: Tania Davis and Carly Mohns ( the two coming off injury)

Whether or not the league talent was low last year is a matter of debate and depends on your definition or standard of measure for such. My assertion is that the level almost certainly must be lower [than before] simply because there are (I'm speculating) fewer D1 players and more small-college and preps participating.
PS. Thanks Oakhawk for the update. Some of those ex college players could actually raise the level. Also, I was really hoping to see Carly back in action. She is my underdog/sleeper on the team.

I see that the 2016 GTL roster and schedule have been posted on its website. Each team has 7 players listed, except Bethany Doolittle's team since she's a player/coach.
I made my own copy of the schedule the way I need it: The teams plus the schedule with the Iowa players clearly marked, all on one page.
