6' 1" wing committed today:

Madison Lowery 6’01 F (TPLS, NY 2018)

Strong and versatile hybrid-forward made a statement with her ability to stretch the defense at her size. While not being her teams primary scoring threat, she made her touches matter. Lowery has a real scoring ability and showed the ability to finish with contact at the rim as well as legitimate range on her confident jump shot.

Still a woman's team, right? Haven't heard a peep about anything about this coming season. Hope the girls have a nice bounce back season

Based on the mess Coach Verdi was left, I was impressed with what the women accomplished last year. Incredible effort, just lacked the numbers. This year will be a building block for what I expect to be a very successful program in the future. Improvement 2017-18, some noise in 2018-19.

Nice. I don't follow them as much as the men, but sounds like Coach Verdi is doing all the right things and building a program. Wish the girls success, sounds like they're really working hard. Would be nice to see them climb the ladder and get some recognition

We just picked up a 6'3 recruit from Buford, GA. Maybe someone with better knowledge of women's BB recruiting than me can let us know how good she may be.

Just saw this, but it's from her AAU coach so take it with a grain of salt.

Looks like Coach Verdi has a super recruiting class coming in for next year-ranked #57 in country. ( see details UMass Athletic website). I'm predicting a top 50 team in two years. Go UMass!

It looks like we added some size and some shooters. If Soysal comes back healthy next year we should have a very strong team with depth at every position.

Coach V. seems to be right on schedule rebuilding the team. Hope he becomes one of the great hires in UM history.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Future looks very promising with Verdi in charge. I hope coach Walker stays for a few years too. 8)
