Thanks - will add.

Nobody from college can return to COE as they will be too old.

@LC

I think the question was if you knew who was coming back to the CoE not explicitly those from your list.

I'd say most of the current U17 members already attending CoE along with the older scholarship holders that would make the U19 team. However the older boys would be only until the Worlds.

the last anon was me sorry

Fotu had a decent WC's and raised his fair share of eyebrows

Smith-Milner didn't qualify academicaly for New Mexico, he is going to Polk State Junior College in Florida for the next 2 years.

The other NZ guys that are in Div 1 college that havent been mentioned are Angus Riley at Bryant University and Junior College transfer Michael Karena at Wright State. Interestingly both are Nelson guys. I also read that Zach Young from Wellington has signed with Nichols State but haven't seen any confirmation of this.

Awesome work LC.

Good to know Kiwi boys Augus Riley and Karena is joining D1. Only one guard (T Web) is in D1 though. I would like to know where are the several others like Tai Wynyard and Matthew Freeman will head to. I am wondering are those top NJCAA teams competitive against mid high D1 teams?

Kiwi Boys at D1 upcoming season:
Tom Vodanovich (Sophomore) at James Madison
Tai Webster (Sophomore) at Nebraska
Michael Karena (Junior) at Bryant
Angus Riley (Freshman) at Wright State
Isaac Fotu (Junior) at Hawaii
Jack Salt (Freshman *maybe redshirt) at Virginia

Kiwi Boys at other US college system upcoming season:
Tohi Smith Milner at Polk State Junior in NJCAA

The list published to date is all just Aussies. I am currently considering an extension to possibly include the Kiwi's as well or even their own list.

James Hunter (NSW) has actually transferred from Washington State to South Dakota and I will add him to the list in tonight.

My apologies for messing up this topic =P. I am just excited to share Kiwi hoops world and want to discuss about that more.

Would prefer to see info on Aussie GIRLS than kiwi boys, no offence but it's titled Aussies in college

And if you read my OP I state: "The corresponding women's list will be released the same time next Thursday!"

As for a Kiwi list, will see what we can rustle up in the next few weeks.

Jonah Bolden ruled ineligible for UCLA for 2014/15 season die to NCAA regulations surrounding his senior year of high school.

He will remain on a full scholarship, train with the team, but cannot play for the 2014/15 season.

If anyone knows of any 2014 Aussie freshman D1 women (just focussing on D1 for now), please post it here as I am looking to finish PnR's listing for next season.

So far I have:

Alex DELANEY / NSW / 5'10" / F / St. Francis-Brooklyn / Northeast
Stephanie COLLINS / VIC / 6’5” / C / Southern Methodist / American Athletic
Alliyah FAREO / NSW / 6’3” / F/C / Louisiana State / Southeastern
Alicia FROLING / QLD / 6’3” / F / Southern Methodist / American Athletic
Keely FROLING / QLD / 6’2” / F / Southern Methodist / American Athletic
Geraldine MCCORKEL / VIC / 6’0” / F / Idaho / Western Athletic
Carly TURNER / VIC / 5’11” / G / Saint Mary’s College / West Coast
Kristy WALLACE / QLD / 5’11” / G / Baylor / Big 12

.

Funda Nakkasoglu signs for 2014-15 with the Utah State Aggies (NCAA Div 1) ...



The Washington State University McKenzie Krystle Krystle McKenzie, G, 5-8, 0Fr. Brisbane, Australia.

Thanks! Also note that Louise Brown from VIC is also on the Wazzu roster. Will add her too.

Grace Lennox from TAS is Div 1 Eastern Illinois

Kristy isn't 5'11 either lol

Thanks for the heads up on Idaho moving from WAC to Big Sky and also on Grace Lennox.

The 2014/15 DI list for the Aussie Women is now available on PnR!

Aussies in College: Division I Women 2014/15

If we have inadvertently left anyone off the list, please let us know and we will fix it up ASAP.

LC At Gonzaga: Georgia Stirton G 5-8 Jr. JC Melbourne, Australia (North Idaho College)

Nice work LC

From what I heard Collins has some eligibility issues but SMU got a few very talented girls

Yeah - Stirton was added this morning.

Collins does apparently have some eligibility issues - let's see how that pans out.

Alannah smith has several good div 1 colleges looking at her, so too Antoniadou who I have heard has some big name colleges interested but the girls seem to keep it very quiet unlike the boys.

Some more updates I will be making tonight:

Updates:

Maddie Allen - no longer at Cal Poly - she will be at Santa Clara and should be eligible to play immediately.
Maddie White - will not be back at Sth Dakota, has transferred to Cal Baptist (D2)

Missing from the lists:

Josh Spiers - MBB - Fr at LMU
Katherine Ups - WBB - Fr - Buffalo
Liisa Ups - WBB - Fr - Buffalo

Collins is already at smu isn't she, will she redshirt to get her credits up

Colin's isn't listed on roster is she still going?

Collins was listed on the roster when I drew up the list, however she has since been removed!

It is looking doubtful that she will be suiting up this season.

Check out my latest guest appearance on SEN 1116 radio's The Flag Flyers program from earlier this week!

I talk America East hoops, covering Peter Hooley, Sam & Mike Rowley and Geremy McKay at Albany, but also Corbon Wroe, Taylor Dyson and Dougal Weit at Hartford.

SEN 1116 The Flag Flyers - 16/09/14

If you listen to the while show, it also briefly covers Jonah Bolden's situation. I come on at the 39:00min mark to talk college hoops.

Love to get your feedback and as to what you may like me to talk about more of in future - at this stage I am on every 2 weeks.

Check out my latest interview with Eastern Washington's 2012/13 Big Sky Freshman of the Year player Venky Jois.

Timeout with Venky Jois: An Eagle set to soar to new heights

Includes video highlights plus audio of my latest guest appearance on SEN 1116 radio (30-Sep) talking Aussies in Big Sky hoops.

Question is how far can Venky go???He is coming along in leaps and bounds.

Venky is a real chance for All-Conference honours this season, as is the likes of Anthony Drmic, Hugh Greenwood, Peter Hooley & Taylor Dyson IMO.

South Australia's Peter Hooley provides his own personal insights into the pre-season ahead of Albany's efforts at an America East conference three-peat.

The puzzle of a three-peat: Same goals, new year

Albany will face some stiff opposition this year from America East rivals Hartford who feature Aussies Corban Wroe, Taylor Dyson ands Dougal Weir.

The season preview of the Aussie women in Division I hoops!

Includes PnR pre-season All-Aussie team.

Thanks for the constructive feedback! Good to see you are interested in the Aussie women in college this season.

All those names are on the PnR list of Aussie women in D1 hoops this season right here:

Aussies in College: Division I Women 2014/15

You can't possibly hope to cover all the girls in college this season in the one article. However, if you would like to help cover the Aussie women this season in college, please get in touch via the website. As a team of volunteers, we are always on the look out for help. So rather than be negative about the coverage that we are providing (that nobody else does), do something about it and contribute positively!

With the season on our doorstep, I take a look at some of the fresh new Aussie male faces in NCAA Division I hoops this coming season.

NCAA Men: Fresh Aussie faces 2014/15

Loads of talent coming through this season just as is the case for the women. Should be a big season ahead!

how do you rate this batch of college players who will be graduating this year LC?

drmic is our big hope there isnt he?

drmic = euro chance?

greenwood / jeromie hill sought out by nbl clubs?

Drmic is expected for big things, also expect to see Greenwood's game go to new levels this season. I would expect to see both play pro overseas after they graduate.

Jeromie Hill is another should he be back to his best that could expect to possibly head to Europe all going well. but a definite NBL chance.

Sam Rowley is expected to have a big season also at Albany.

Corban Wroe and Dan Trist could be a genuine chance at spots on an NBL roster too. Wroe handled himself very well against SEABL and NBL opposition on their Aussie tour this year.

Iggy is also an NBL roster chance too.

Some very good players graduating after this season!

I caught up with Jeromie Hill this week. It was great to catch up and find out how he has been going in his return from injury.

The Roadrunner: Jeromie Hill's road back from injury

Expect a massive year from the 6'8" forward from QLD.

With the season getting under way this weekend, it is time to preview the cream of the crop - the top 10 Aussies in college hoops to look out for this season.

NCAA Men: All-Aussie Pre-season Picks

Who is my pre-season pick of the year? Do you agree with me?

Nice article by Roy Ward in the Sunday Age covering Jack Purchase and Alex Sheedy.

Auburn's Jack Purchase and Fresno State's Alex Sheedy among the many Australian basketballers keen to make a mark in US college season

It is hard to include a first year junior transfer on a pre-season list when it is hard to assess how his game will translate to D1. He was in my "Fresh new Faces" article though, as was Emmett Naar who also had a very strong first game for Saint Mary's too.

There is no denying the fact that Deng Deng a great first game for Baylor - let's now see if he can continue and work his way into my top 10 end of season list which is far more important! He will certainly feature in my recap this week.

The Australian men are primed for a massive year of college hoops, led by some outstanding talents both old and new. All the preseason predictions and hype are all out the window and the real thing begins. So who were the Aussies in action across the opening days of the season that impressed the most? I do my best in providing a recap as to how I see it.

NCAA Men: Jois leads the Aussie charge

The new NCAA Women season is underway and Michael De Lacy takes a look at the action and the big standouts in the first week of NCAA Aussie Women.

Whittle doubles up and Froling twins impress early on

- Crickets -

I appreciate that you now have your own website to run and promote, but I enjoyed these threads far more when information on the standout performances was immediately available. Clicking through to another site to see whether there is going to be anything of interest? No thanks.

I understand the amount of work that must go in to compiling this information, but this year's thread is largely full of unhelpful click bait.

No problem. Each to their own.

FYI I was more referring to the absence of comments relating to the women.

If you want the updates for the daily performances, then follow OzBallPnR if you have a twitter account.

What a big week it has been for the Aussies in the NCAA! Overtime thrillers, big double-doubles, game-winners and upset wins aplenty.

Gaels remain unbeaten, Jois helps upset Indiana

So who do you think has been the best Aussie male so far this season?

Jois / Drmic / Trist / Hill

For mine, Jois has been the standout so far. Drmic not far behind, with Hill and then Trist closely following.

The latest NCAA recap of the Aussie women is now up;

NCAA Women: Barr leads an impressive group of Aussies

Some really good performances across a wide number of players, including some promising freshman too who appear tonne getting some really good burn.

Another big week of Aussie performances in the NCAA by the men. Probably not hard to work out who the PoTW is this time around...

NCAA Men: Jois and the Eagles flying high

Albany's Sam Rowley made a very good case for player of the week honors with two double-doubles and Jeromie Hill was his consistent self yet again. However there is only one guy who was in the running this week. Guess who?

Two interviews with a couple of talented Aussie players on Melbourne's SEN 1116 sports radio show The Flag Flyers this morning...

Soundcloud - The Flag Flyers: Venky Jois Interview 9-Dec-14

Soundcloud - The Flag Flyers: Anthony Drmic Interview 9-Dec-14

The weekly NCAA recap for the men is up. Who is POTW?

Another week of big performances, late game heroics and Aussie rivalry in the NCAA...

Jois named Big Sky player of the week with another 38 points

The weekly NCAA men's recap is up - another big week of performances involving the Aussies.

NCAA Men: Hooley leads Great Danes to victory

Hooley hit 4/9 triples on his way to 20 points that came with 3 rebounds and 2 assists to help notch up the Great Danes first win in 5 outings.

The weekly recap for the NCAA Division I women is back, with more terrific performances yet again.

NCAA Women: Barr on a scoring spree

Some more big performances by the Aussie men this past week.

NCAA Men: Jois soars past 1,000 career points

The latest women's recap is now up on PnR:

NCAA Women: Sheedy and Froling impress

Great coverage of the women thanks

Thanks for the update on Bairstow. Any further details?

This week's women's update is now up. Wallace named Big 12 co-Freshman POTW and Nicholson WCC POTW.

NCAA Women: Wallace named Big 12 Co-Freshman Player of the Week

This is your choice for POW, ? or NCAA POW, as ESPN have someone from Miami as the leagues POW.
Good to see our Aussie girls doing so well though

Aussie female POTW chosen by TeamPnR's Michael De Lacy!

The Aussie men have been in outstanding form since Christmas, including Dan Trist of Lafayette being named Patriot League POTW!

NCAA Men: Trist named Patriot League player of the week

Kristy Wallace of Baylor has been named Big 12 Freshman POTW for the second straight week!

Anthony Drmic is undergoing his ankle surgery today.

Greenwood is going OK. Look further into the stats - specifically the shooting %.

Averaging 11ppg which is a big of a jump of the previous season (7ppg).

But the increase is only because he is shooting more shots (yet his % is going down).

Shooting 30% from the field and 29% from 3..really not healthy %'s.

Agreed with Greenwood. Has been up and down from a shooting perspective, but he continues to do all the intangibles.

Wow what a season so far! The Aussie NCAA Division 1 women are definitely out to impress and Michael De Lacy yet again takes a look at the action and the standout performances for the last week.

NCAA Women: Nicholson fires the Gael's while Wallace does it again

Putting together any preseason rankings is always a difficult task and takes a lot of guesswork to get it right, especially with an influx of new players and the departure of many others. My pre-season top 10 players listing was filled with experienced seniors and some exceptionally talented players. With just over half the season now in the bag, I have conducted my mid-season re-evaluation for everyone to debate.

NCAA Men: The Top 10 mid-season review

Who is #1?

Not Aussie, but Kiwi Tai Wynyard has committed to Kentucky. Very big signing.

Tai Wynyard commits to Kentucky

The latest Aussie women's recap is now up.

http://pickandroll.com.au/ncaa-women-sheedy-comes-big/

Another big week for the Aussie women in NCAA DI hoops, with Alicia Froling dominating and Stacey Barr impressing while Kristy Wallace's Baylor racked up win No. 18 in a row.

NCAA Women: Alicia Froling dominates for the Mustangs

While this is not about any Australian players in college hoops, it provides some indication that Steph Curry's college (Davidson) is open to recruiting an Aussie - direct from the coach...

Coach McKillop on Steph Curry, his impact at Davidson and recruiting

The Aussie women have been doing well over in the NCAA.

Some massive performances by a few of the girls this past week.

NCAA Women: Seekamp, Barr and Alicia Froling fill it up

Three Aussie men have received Player of the Week awards in over the past few weeks directly as a result of their stellar on court performances headlined by Sam Rowley and Dan Trist who each earned the accolade over consecutive weeks.

NCAA Men: Trist on fire, Rowley and Albany unbeaten

Love your work LC.Always find it an interesting reading.

I concur...

Thanks guys...labour of love!

The girls from Down Under are making their presence well and truly known in the NCAA Division 1 competition. But while these young ladies are making a big difference in America, you can be sure that they still call Australia home. Michael De Lacy takes a look at the action and calls out the best performances for these great Australian ambassadors over the past week.

NCAA: Stacey Barr blazes with scoring spree

A nice Q&A with South Australian star Nicole Seekamp of South Dakota.

Timeout with Nicole Seekamp: A much loved Coyote

Abiola Akintola has committed to Denver!

Abiola Akintola signs with the University of Denver

Last week's player of the week was high-scoring senior guard Stacey Barr. This week is no different, with Barr once again earning the spotlight after maintaining her outstanding on court performances.

Kristy Wallace's Baylor secured their 25th victory in a row and their 18th straight at home after defeating TCU 91-75 in front of big crowd of 9,521 Lady Bear fans. The victory earned Baylor their 6th Big 12 Conference title and 5th in a row.

NCAA Women: Barr’s barrage continues, Wallace a Big 12 champion

Dan Trist has been named Patriot League POTW for the 3rd time in the past 4 weeks and for the 4th time this season!

With March finally here, it means conference tournament time, with everyone jostling to secure a ticket to the 2015 edition of the coveted NCAA tournament.

I take the time to preview the teams that I believe have the best chances of either earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament or be a realistic chance at earning a ticket to the big dance via their conference tournament. This means that teams featuring great players such as seniors Jeromie Hill (Texas-San Antonio), Hugh Greenwood (New Mexico) and Corban Wroe are not featured.

So who has a shot at dancing? Let's shimmy on over and take a look...

Conference Tournament Preview: Aussies to Watch

With a number of conference tournaments starting this week, a host of Aussies of earned conference accolades. I summarise them all to date right here:

NCAA Men: Trist and Rowley headline Aussie award winners

George Blagojevic, the 6'8 forward out of Geelong, has committed to the University of Hartford.

Just watched the entire game - still got goosebumps from the ending.

NCAA Men: Hooley's miracle has Albany dancing

Includes video highlights.

Venky Jois and Felix Von Hofe have helped guide Eastern Washington to a win over Montana to clinch the Big Sky Conference championship and punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament. With the win, three more Australians will be seeing postseason action, as the team also features another Aussie in Daniel Hill

NCAA Men: Aussie Eagles soar to claim Big Sky championship

The Baylor Lady Bears are now Big 12 Champions after they defeated Texas and now move onto the NCAA Tournament, Nicole Seekamp was impressive in the Summit League Tournament after she was named the Tournament MVP for the second year in a row.

NCAA Women: Baylor win Big 12 Tournament, Seekamp stars!

My end of season awards for the Aussie men are headlined by Dan Trist, Jeromie Hill, Venky Jois, Hugh Greenwood and Peter Hooley, including a list of every player's stats for 2014/15.

Includes player of the year, most improved, defensive player and freshman of the year plus First, Second and Third team selections.
