Did you mean Soleil Barnes? Jaela Johnson is redshirting after ACL surgery. If you meant Barnes, I know nothing.

Barnes wasn't wearing a brace at the start of the season, then missed a couple games, played a couple with a large brace, and then missed more. I can only assume she has a nagging injury that is keeping her off the court, but I have no first hand knowledge of that.

Johnson was on the Coaches show this past Monday (along with coach Stephens, Lance, and Curry). Johnson said she is good to go for next year. I'm thinking she will likely be the back-up PG to Wiard next year.

BTW, can someone at UT actually learn how to maintain a website. The replays of the coaches shows on-line are almost un-listenable because every few minutes the speed slows to about 1/5th speed for a minute and gets all distorted. Come on folks - show some respect for the fans who want to follow the teams.

Black is not the player I saw in Las Vegas. Even then she was wearing a protective boot which she told me it was “precautionary”; my guess is injuries have reduced her effectiveness on the court.

I expected for Black to take the next step and become a bigtime offensive threat in the MAC this year. She has had several excellent games with 4 games with 20+ and a total of 8 with 16 or more. But she has also been painfully inconsistent. And her off games started early with 0 against Dayton and 4 against Valpariso. I don't know about the injury theory but she has demonstrated she can be a streaky shooter. And the problem is this team needs a reliable bigtime scorer to be competitive.

On the other hand I wrote Beacham off as a major contributor after three years in the program but she has really shown something since Whitaker went down. I expect big things from her next year.

I have complained for three years that Beacham should be getting more minutes. I still can not believe that she deserved 11 minutes a game last year while St Fort got 23. And then when I assumed she would finally get 25-30 minutes this year she is platooned with Whitaker and doesn't get major minutes until there is no one else. I don't get it. For me this is a major error in judgement by the coaching staff and Beacham has demonstrated that emphatically since she became the primary post player.

Thanks on Johnson. I had heard nothing on her healing.
