So is Kayla McPherson making a comeback, or she's done for her basketball career, and just take up a roster spot as a redshirt?

No, Kayla M. is part of the coaching staff. She does not have a scholarship as a basketball player any more. I am sure that CB was paying her something for being a student assistant.

Yeah, at first, it was a medical redshirt, but then KM change that to retiring from basketball. If you are retiring from basketball because of medical reasons, then you cannot be considered a medical redshirt any longer. That is why she is not listed under the roster as a player, but as part of the coaching staff as a student assistant. Her scholarship should be open now anyway.

Wait I'm confused now, so you're saying. Instead of the 1 scholarship opening due to liza transferring or exploring the transfer portal there are 2 open?

No, we stopped counting McPherson before this season started; we had a full roster of 15 this spring and summer, she medically retired just before teh season and became a team manager. So we rolled with a 14 player roster.

But this did allow Bofia to enroll in the spring and redshirt.

Since then, we there have been a bunch of players leaving and committing, but we now stand at 14 for next season.
