Release: 08/18/2008

LYON, France -- The Weber State women's basketball team split the first two of three games against European competition last week, falling to Laveyron on Thursday before picking up a win against Case Basket on Saturday.

The Wildcats opened the trip with a 67-59 loss in their first taste of international competition as Laveyron (from Lyon, France) pulled off the eight-point win. Caitlin Anderson led the team with 12 points and had four rebounds. Lacie Barnes had 8 rebounds and 4 points, while Karlee Weight and Tonya Schnibbe each had 8 points.

"I thought is was a well played game against a veteran team," said WSU head coach Carla Taylor. "We played hard and adjusted well to the different style of play."

In the team's second outing, they grabbed a win, downing Case Basket of Montreux, Switzerland 71-67. Ali Thorderson had 18 points to lead the 'Cats, while Caitlin Anderson had 16 points and 8 rebounds. Jessica Smith added 13 points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

The Wildcats will have a few days off before facing Nice Cobasket for their final competition of the trip.

2008 Badger Recruiting Class Looks Exceptional

Second year head coach Michael Ostlund has announced the Badgers’ 2008 recruiting class. With 5 returning players that all saw considerable action last season, there is a solid foundation to build on. “Our returning nucleus has a lot of experience, and are high quality Coach Ostlund said.

Add point guard Donnie Lao (Midvale, Utah), and post players David Slezak (Slovakia) and Everton de Araujo (Brazil) and the returning class is very solid.

The recruiting class features a combination of athletic, scoring guards, versatile post players, and a couple of 6’9 centers to help in the middle. “We have a good mix of freshmen coming right out of high school, and a couple kids coming back of LDS missions,” added Ostlund. “Overall, I really like the mix of talent and they are all high character kids.”

October 3-5, 2008: Evaluations permitted at nonscholastic women's basketball events

david hammer — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 14:01:06 GMT

During the weekend of October 3-5, 2008, the NCAA allows for evaluations at nonscholastic women's basketball events. This is another open evaluation period for the NCAA coaches to evaluate players. We will not be attending any events during this period as a Salt Lake Metro team.

The 2008 Intermountain Hoops Fall Evaluation Showcase will be held during the open evaluation period. This is the Showcase's fourth season and has been highly successful at attracting top players and college coaches to attend. The Showcase is sanctioned by the NCAA allowing college coaches to watch and evaluate players at the event during the open evaluation period.

This is the last open evaluation period prior to the beginning of the high school season.

Please contact Coach Hammer regarding signup information as space in the Showcase is limited.

- Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing to make sure you are on track.
Grade 10
- Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing to make sure you are on track.
Grade 11
- Register with the eligibility center.
- Make sure you are still on course to meet core-course requirements (verify you have the correct number of core courses and that the core courses are on your high school's 48-H with the eligibility center).
- After your junior year, have your high school guidance counselor send a copy of your transcript. If you have attended any other high schools, make sure a transcript is sent to the eligibility center from each high school.
- When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the eligibility center (the code is "9999").
- Begin your amateurism questionnaire.
Grade 12
- When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the eligibility center (the code is "9999").
- Complete amateurism questionnaire and sign the final authorization signature online on or after April 1 if you are expecting to enroll in college in the fall semester. (If you are expecting to enroll for spring semester, sign the final authorization signature on or after October 1 of the year prior to enrollment.)
- Have your high school guidance counselor send a final transcript with proof of graduation to the eligibility center.

NCAA Eligibility Center List of Approved Core Courses

david hammer — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:39:03 GMT

The NCAA Eligibility Center has a set criteria for what is an approved core course. Each high school must submit their courses to the Eligibility Center for approval as an approved core course. Not all courses at your high school in a particular subject (ie English, Math, etc.) are Eligibility Center approved core courses.

As you enroll for classes at your school each year, please make sure whether classes you are taking at your school have been approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center as a core course.

Here is a link to the NCAA Eligibility Center List of Approved Core Courses (Form 48H).

Insert your school code and click SUBMIT. If you don't know your school code you can search by clicking on LOOKUP CODE or you may search by high school name.

NCAA Eligibility Center Registration

david hammer — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 13:08:46 GMT

To play athletics at the NCAA Division I or II level, you must receive clearance from the NCAA Eligibility Center (previously known as the NCAA Clearinghouse). What the Eligibility Center does is evaluate your academic record to determine if you are eligible to participate at a NCAA Division I or II college as a freshman student athlete.

In order to take official visits, you must have submitted your information to the NCAA Eligibility Center and been approved. Although there is a $ 50 fee involved, it is definitely one of the most crucial things that you must do during the recruiting process. Those that have financial troubles can get the $50 fee waived. Please contact the Eligibility Center for more information

To register with the Eligibility Center , you will fill out the Student Release Form and the amateurism questionnaire at the beginning of your junior year. While you can officially do it later or not at all, if you are serious about playing at the scholarship level and have been getting that type of attention, it is worth doing as soon as possible. The process is not immediate and is worth completing when the junior year gets underway.

What the Student Release Form does is :

1. Authorizes each high school you have attended to send the Eligibility Center your transcript, test scores, proof of graduation, and other necessary academic information.

2. Authorizes the Eligibility Center to send your academic information to all colleges that request your eligibility status.

To complete the form select Prospective Student-Athletes and then register as a US student. The site will walk you through payment options via credit or debit card. Once done, print a copy of your completed registration form and both Copy 1 and Copy 2 of the Transcript Release Form. Sign the Transcript Release Forms and give both to your high school guidance counselor.

This process is not an overnight thing. The process normally takes at least a few days to complete and needs to be done before official visits can be taken. During the summer months, it may be difficult with trying to track down the guidance counselor.

Once you are registered, the NCAA will create a profile for you that you can edit in the future. They will also need you to send future transcripts to make sure that you are fully qualified and able to play your freshman season of competition.

RECRUITING: The difference between NCAA Divisions I, II and III classifications?

david hammer — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 07:02:36 GMT

The difference between NCAA Divisions I, II and III classifications?

DIVISION I

Division I member institutions have to sponsor at least seven sports for men and seven for women (or six for men and eight for women) with two team sports for each gender. Each playing season has to be represented by each gender as well. There are contest and participant minimums for each sport, as well as scheduling criteria. For sports other than football and basketball, Division I schools must play 100 percent of the minimum number of contests against Division I opponents -- anything over the minimum number of games has to be 50 percent Division I. Men's and women's basketball teams have to play all but two games against Division I teams; for men, they must play one-third of all their contests in the home arena. Schools that have football are classified as Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) or NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA). Division I schools must meet minimum financial aid awards for their athletics program, and there are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division I school cannot exceed.

DIVISION II

Division II institutions have to sponsor at least five sports for men and five for women, (or four for men and six for women), with two team sports for each gender, and each playing season represented by each gender. There are contest and participant minimums for each sport, as well as scheduling criteria -- football and men's and women's basketball teams must play at least 50 percent of their games against Division II or Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) or Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) opponents. For sports other than football and basketball there are no scheduling requirements. There are not attendance requirements for football, or arena game requirements for basketball. There are maximum financial aid awards for each sport that a Division II school must not exceed. Division II teams usually feature a number of local or in-state student-athletes. Many Division II student-athletes pay for school through a combination of scholarship money, grants, student loans and employment earnings. Division II athletics programs are financed in the institution's budget like other academic departments on campus. Traditional rivalries with regional institutions dominate schedules of many Division II athletics programs.

DIVISION III

Division III institutions have to sponsor at least five sports for men and five for women, with two team sports for each gender, and each playing season represented by each gender. There are minimum contest and participant minimums for each sport. Division III athletics features student-athletes who receive no financial aid related to their athletic ability and athletic departments are staffed and funded like any other department in the university. Division III athletics departments place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the spectators. The student-athlete's experience is of paramount concern. Division III athletics encourages participation by maximizing the number and variety of athletics opportunities available to students, placing primary emphasis on regional in-season and conference competition.

There are literally hundreds of finer distinctions between I, II and III which really aren't important. If you want to learn the finer points of the many distinctions between D-I, II and III, look at the NCAA website (NCAA.org) for an explanation.

Another way of looking at it very simply is this:

1. Division I: In basketball, all schools (with the exception of a few Patriot League schools and the entire Ivy League) offer athletic scholarships. These cannot be "split" between players. A scholarship covers the cost of room and board and tuition. In men's basketball, a school may offer 13 scholarships in any given year; in women's basketball, they may utilize 15 such scholarships.

2. Division II: In basketball, all schools offer athletic scholarships. These may be "partial" or "split" between members of a team, and there is no requirement that they cover all of a student's room, board and tuition. In men's and women's basketball, 10 athletic scholarships may be offered and utilized in any given year. Not all schools have the full allotment of 10 scholarships.

3. Division III: As noted above, there are no athletic scholarships or "grants-in-aid". Students may receive financial aid, but such aid cannot be based on a student's athletic ability or achievements.

Many people are confused about these distinctions, believing that Division I is the only way to go for sports, and that's just not so. A student should attend a college or university where he or she can receive the best education, where there is a fit, and where he or she would be happy even if they weren't playing basketball. People are often also confused about the academics, and believe that only large D-I schools have the "best" academic programs, and that's also just not the case. Many of the finest academic institutions and major research universities in the country are found competing at the Division III level (e.g., University of Chicago, Brandeis, etc). And there are many fine D-II universities and colleges as well. In fact, most of the Cal State University system (with the exception of Fullerton, Long Beach, Northridge, Cal Poly and San Diego, all in Southern California) competes at the NCAA D-II and III levels.

The total number of schools in each division, according to the NCAA website, depends on what sport you're asking about (because some schools compete at the D-I level in sports such as men's and women's basketball, and at the D-II or III (or even NAIA level) in sports such as track, volleyball, field hockey, etc.). Also, many D-I schools simply do not offer every sport possible, and those that do offer more sports, often compete at a different level because of the composition of their local or regional opponents.

Here are the numbers:

Men's Basketball--
Division I 326
Division II 293
Division III 403
Total Men's Basketball 1022

Women's Basketball--
Division I 325
Division II 294
Division III 431
Total Women's Basketball 1050
