..weeks or days ago and there status, to the best of my knowledge.
Some of these names merely reflect players I think would be an interesting match; not a report on any purported interest and/or contact.
The fact that the only two names the Bench has heard (perhaps) visited are both power forwards/posts, could indicate that Niele is focusing on the frontcourt, at least initially.
Hopefully, it could also indicate that in the case of athletic wings and/or shooting guards, she fully expects Cass Prosper and Emma Risch to be back and contributing in 2024-25.
Anyways, here's who is still open and/or committed:
