#FightMassachusetts Retweeted Panola College WBB
Genesis Rivera (@GenesisLn8), a 5'11" JUCO wing originally from Caracas, Venezuela, signs with #UMass out out Panola College in Carthage, TX
The JUCO web site lists her as an honorable mention All American. Looking at her stats is a strange thing. Her team played everyone around the same minutes per game and their games were only 28 minutes long. She scored 12.7 points a game in 4.6 minutes.

^ doubt the playing time and minutes are accurate. There are a number of stat programs that will post crazy results if you don't manually input the players' actual minutes. Probably what happened here. The biggest pain the ass to record if you are doing stats is playing time. I know coaches that have stat guys record it but I never bothered.

* Makes sense. It didn't look right to me but it's all I had. Still, give Verdi credit for quickly rebuilding this roster with what appears to be some quality players.

^ This isn't hockey, I'd imagine that it is a 2017. Also, he would 't be a able to comment on a 2018 until they sign an LOI.

I remembered reading that we already have 13, so I went to the Athletic site. It is listing 5 returning and 8 signing on for this fall. So I thought that we have a full load.

Not so. The women's limit is 15. Anyone know if we do that?

The WBB roster has been updated with the new recruits and transfers. MBB, not so much. The bios seem a little old, most don't include 2016-2017 stats.

^ Thirteen on that roster. Twelve dressed for the first workout today. That's quite an improvement over last year.
