Damian, Missing Claire Ioannidis, Junior, Uni North Florida. http://www.unfospreys.com/roster.aspx?path=wbball

Added Claire - good pickup.

As for Wehi - I am running from this as per Pacific website:

Whitnee Wehi F 6-2 Fr. Brisbane, Australia / John Paul

And for Toleafoa from Sanata clara website:

Dru Toleafoa 6-0 Guard Freshman Sydney, Australia / Brigidine College Randwick

Damian Rance is at a D2 school.

Yes, those girls are all 16/17.

Yeah as someone said above Wehi and Toleafoa are New Zealanders. Tylah King at Pacific is also a New Zealander.

I think they might be going because they also get a free education anon. College isn't just about the basketball although that is a big part of the experience.

Our men's list is now also up!

NCAA Men: 2015/16 Division I

A few potential NBA players in there...

Thanks for the feedback on O'Brien. Now updated.

Added Smith and Hatchard.

Went with heights listed in their player profiles.

Is this the most promising group of Aussies in us college hoops ever?

Certainly plenty of talent coming through , be interesting though to see how those who go to college compare with those who don't in the next few years.

The top 5 Aussie freshman men to look out for heading into the college hoops season!

Meet the Freshmen! Top 5 Australian freshmen for the upcoming NCAA season

Have we ever produced a list of freshmen that good over the years LC?

I can't recall five players with this much potential, and I know there is more to come, just saying that basketball is looking good down under these days, damn good...

Tough to be able to come up with a better incoming freshman class than this, especially with the guys that could not be squeezed into the top 5. Plenty of additional Australian junior representatives in this group.

Tough to be able to come up with a better incoming freshman class than this, especially with the guys that could not be squeezed into the top 5. Plenty of additional Australian junior representatives in this group.

Interesting view point LC, that of Australian representation. Thing is, that we can only fit a few players into the Boomer squad at any time.

Basketball, being what it is, more and more we increase the number of quality athletes in our sport, the more we approach the problem of not being able to fit them all in.

I am not saying we will be like the USA, who could produce 4 world class national teams, I am saying it is potentially a great problem to have.

We will need them all though, because as has been experienced in the past, when they make the NBA they may not always be allowed to play for their country either...

For a lot of these good college athletes though it's not just about playing for boomers or opals, it's about taking their basketball to the next level to actually be able to make a living from what they love. So maybe not all will be able to make the aus teams but some may choose to forgo that avanue ( some already have) and keep playing in Europe, nba/wnba.

Who would be the women's top 5 freshmen LC?

Top 5 women coming this weekend

You could speculate about lots coming through but the reality is once the next Olympics is done and dusted anything could happen depending on the coach as we saw with the insertion of Joyce.
Lots of talent being developed in both girls and boys, and many years still ahead of them

And let's not forget these are just the kids with the grades to get into a 4 year school in D1. D2 kids will have made the decision on playing time and quality of education. There are other players who have had to go the JuCo route because of grades who will no doubt end up in D1 as transfers. While I agree that the sheer number of kids heading off to college will leave holes in our domestic adult comps, it's not about us, it's about them!

For 90% it's not about getting into the National team, it's about free(-ish) education, eat/breathe basketball 24/7 for 4 years and life experience. It's also about experiencing the basketball skills and coaching in a country where there are more full time professional coaches with decades of experience than you can poke a stick at! As some of the imports in our domestic leagues showed, the skills and athleticism of US college players is often amazing. Imagine what these kids will bring back to Australia if and when they return in terms of skills and experience from total immersion in a hopefully professionally run program. Skills in conditioning, recruiting, film analysis, injury management, logistics, game management, training methods, scouting etc etc. Imagine how the journey will shape them as adults.

I doubt any of them actually care about which conference they play in. The ones in the stronger conferences will ride the pine a lot more than the ones in weaker conferences who should get good time as freshmen, and they all have an opportunity for participating in March Madness if they do well in whatever conference they play in. The kids outside of the standouts in the stronger conferences are more at risk of being recruited over the top of, so there are a lot of factors involved in what division, what conference, what university they accept.

I can't wait to see what this contingent of young men and women do, but I bet we'll all be very proud of the products of our Aussie basketball communities!

^ great post

Just had a look at the St Marys College mens roster and there are 6 Australians. You would think the NCAA would have some sort of limit in the number of foreign scholarship players on a team. Not that I am complaining because it will be great for us to watch.

The women have amost the same too,

Be interesting to see just how many are in div2 and Juco in both men and women to give a good idea of just how many end up over in the USA, more interesting would be how many stay the full 4 yrs

Anthony Drmic is back. Back in training at least, as the Boise State Broncos commenced their first official practice session for the upcoming 2015/16 NCAA season.

NCAA Men: Anthony Drmic is back...in training

"I had a minor, well major complication with my surgery," Drmic stated.

“It was a rare thing that happened. I ended up getting some nerve damage from my nerve block, so it's been a little bit slower, but the staff has been great helping me and I’m working hard with rehab so hopefully within a couple of weeks I’ll be ready to go.”

Full video interview.

The college basketball season is fast approaching, and like with the men, we have some talented Australian women set to grace the NCAA hardwood for the very first time.

We take a look at the top five Australian freshmen women heading into the upcoming NCAA season.

NCAA Women: The top 5 freshmen Aussies

Alanna Smith is IMO the standout this coming season.

That's the order we ranked them heading into this season.

Teams start their non-conference schedules in early November.

It is always tough to tell which first year players will shine as it will all be dependent on the opportunities they receive.

LC is there any particular conference web sites or just the NCAA posts that you would recommend to see how our Aussies abroad are doing?

I wouldn't expect the Yanks to focus on our basketball athletes, but if they do well any particular week they will be promoted within that conference as a highlight player regardless I imagine.

They seem to do some really good stories over there, like the interviews with Drmic and others in the past, but some do it better than others, so just wondering if you have some links worth following especially in D1 or D2 basketball...

ESPN and CBS are very good for covering the best performing men, but most team websites are pretty good across men and women.

Use the team and conference website links on our listing to get directly there.

The women's coverage is pretty much limited to team and conference sites.

As an update, the top 5 Aussie freshman women list has been updated. Dani Milisic has been confirmed as actually being a class of 2016 athlete and hence has been replaced.

How do you rank them, what's the criteria that puts these ones as top five and in that order ?

Our own assessment and opinion of their talent, previous performance and coupled with that of anticipated opportunities at their respective schools this coming season.

OK thanks, good to see some interest for our boys and girls in college.

The 2015/16 NCAA Division I season may well be set to unleash the most gifted array of Australian men's talent ever.

Such is the class of the incoming freshmen, combined with the outstanding talent of those returning, we are set for a massive season ahead. However who will be the standout Aussie this season? Guess who is the frontrunner...

NCAA Men: Pre-season top 10 Aussies

McVeigh was just outside my top 10. Who does he push out?

Loads of talent coming into college ranks this season! I also left out Majok Deng who will play a big role at Louisiana Monroe.

There will be a few more quality D1's next season too LC, I think the flood gates are well and truly opening up. So many players to keep an eye out for now, maybe someone with the capability and know how to do so can set up some kind of Aussie College Basketball web site dedicated solely to basketball (D1 and D2)?

I think the floodgates had already opened, however the talent coming through right now has never been higher.

Bear - we have D1 lists for men and women, and I can tell you it was a lot of time and effort to get them set up, let alone maintain. 300+ D1 basketball programs!

Extending to D2 and beyond is even more effort, but would be great to be able to offer. However our current capacity with our existing resources does not allow it. If someone wanted to help out with compiling the list, we could definitely place up on the site too.

I think you guys are doing a great job LC, of course it is time consuming and with more people helping I am sure you guys could cover all Aussies in D1 to D3, keep up the good work hopefully down the track it will become easier.

I guess my point is technology driven, if somehow we could cut the time to research every Aussie by having some kind of connect with the colleges themselves?

I am not sure how it would be done but the time it takes is obviously the catalyst for improvement and technology may be the answer...

Could well do so...always tough to predict what may happen!

The 2015/16 NCAA Division I season will see the greatest number of incoming freshmen Aussies possibly ever. Combined with a number of returning stars, all Aussie hoops fans should be excited for a big season ahead.

As with the men, I once again take a crack at selecting the pre-season top 10 Aussie women who are the ones most likely to be the standouts to keep an eye out for.

NCAA Women: Pre-season top 10 Aussies

This time it's Claire Ioannidis making waves! 29pts in her first Div1 game.

"Junior-transfer Claire Ioannidis led the way for the Ospreys with 29 points, the most in a single game by any North Florida women's basketball player in the program's D-1 era (2005-present). She was a perfect, 12-for-12 from the free throw line, also a school record for the most free throws without a miss in a single game. Ioanndis was key in icing the game down the stretch, as all 12 of her free throws came in the fourth quarter, eight in the final minute of the game...."

Way to go CLAIRE! Check results from all College Aussies across NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA at bbexscouting.com under News/Results. Just saw this today, hope they keep it up to date as will save lots of time

Some massive performance by the Aussie girls on opening day.

Also some other big performances by the men too, and not just Ben Simmons either.

NCAA Men: Simmons and the Aussies shine on opening day

Emmett Naar, Anthony Drmic, Felix von Hofe, Peter Hooley, Taylor Dyson, George Blagojevic, Callum Barker and Majok Deng all had some big games.

I actually love the Pick and Rolls coverage, but if you're not in an Australian program
you don't seem to rate a mention. check out this smorgasbord. Results for 14 November.

It was a day of impressive NCAA Division I collegiate debut's for the Australian women, led by the exploits of Claire Ioannidis.

NCAA Women: Ioannidis spearheads Aussie assault

Sorry anon, I think you missed my point. There are apparently a couple of hundred Aussies in College basketball. The number of kids playing means an analysis nightmare for the guys at the p&r, so rightly they have to pick and choose. On the pick and roll, we hear about maybe 20-30 per year. think of it as a select menu of a few. I posted some links showing all the kids in action on just one day. Its great to see in one place how all the kids are going.

I just want to be clear on what the PnR reports on with regards to the performances of Aussies in the NCAA.

Our primary focus is on D1, and even then it is on the players who are seeing plenty of court time and making large contributions as generally people want to know who are those that are playing and doing really well. Our resources only enable us to cover at this level, although we would love to do more.

As Europa points out, to cover everyone is a logistical nightmare. So with that in mind, those players not playing or they are receiving very little court time will therefore not receive very many mentions.

We do however have a full listing of all the D1 players for men and women with links to teams and conferences.

While the basketball world drooled over the college debut performance by Ben Simmons, two more wins later the hype continues to build around the potential #1 NBA draft pick in 2016.

NCAA Men: Simmons hype continues to build

Big, consistent performances this past week from Simmons, the boys at Saint Mary's, Boise State, Eastern Washington, Cooks, Deng and Donlan...

This past week Ben Simmons continued to deliver in many different ways, while Venky Jois and George Blagojevic also impressed.

NCAA Men: Simmons delivers in different ways, Jois and Blagojevic impress

Plus some more on Ben Simmons and where his 43 points stacks up amongst the Aussies all-time in the NCAA.

Special? Simmons' best work is yet to be

It was a massive week for the Aussie women in Division I action, with a number earning weekly conference accolades. Arguably none had a greater impact that Virginia Tech's Vanessa Panousis.

NCAA Women: Panousis picks up ACC and ESPNW awards

Good question.
I like being spoon-fed my Bianca Dufelmeier updates. Sucks to have to go find them myself.

The weekly update is back by popular (2) demand!

NCAA Men: Jonah Bolden breaks out for UCLA

After a relatively quiet start to his collegiate career with UCLA, Jonah Bolden played a key role off the bench in helping upset #20 ranked Gonzaga.

Plus big performances from Drmic, Jois, Donlan, Hooley, Simmons and more!

"Defensively, LSU has allowed their opponent to score over 10 points in their past two games"

10 or 100?

Good to see you back LC. :)

Women's update coming tomorrow morning 9am AEST

It was a week to remember for many of the Aussie women this week, as no less than four players registered career-high scoring performances, while Virginia Tech's Hannah Young equaled a record that she now shares with Vanessa Panousis.

NCAA Women: Aussie women run riot

Keanu Pinder commits to New Mexico!

PS: Ben Simmons with a near triple-double of 24 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists & 1 steal in LSU's win over Western Kentucky.

The awards keep coming for the Australians, with Stephanie Collins and Marena Whittle both earning recognition for their performances this week. Elsewhere, Ashley Taia set a second career-high in as many games, while Megan McKay notched the first double-double of her short college career.

NCAA Women: Whittle and Collins gain conference recognition

PS: Keely Froling is also back from injury!

A host of Aussie forwards have dominated the college hoops scene this past week, including two Eagles, a Warhawk, a Gael, and one certain LSU Tiger.

NCAA Men: Aussie forwards stand tall

It was a week of few games, but the Aussies still managed to dish up more than their share of good performances. Marena Whittle had two double-doubles for North Dakota State whilst Nicole Seekamp claimed another Summit League Player of the Week award with a stunning all-round performance in a win over Illinois.

NCAA Women: Whittle and Seekamp dominate

Once again it was the Aussie big men doing most of the damage in NCAA Division I hoops this past week, with Ben Simmons and Gael's duo Dane Pineau and Jock Landale leading the way.

NCAA Men: Simmons leads the way for Aussie big men

Also, Daniel Mading committed to Arizona State:

2016 has started remarkably well for the Australians, with no less than four players picking up weekly awards. It was also another great week for Marena Whittle, who moved into the top 20 in the country for double-doubles with her 7th of the season.

NCAA Women: Aussies earn weekly honours

It was hard to look past Ben Simmons yet again this week, however he was not alone as a number of Australian men continued to impress in NCAA Division I basketball.

NCAA Men: Ben Simmons is not the only Aussie impressing

The Australian women have been taking NCAA Division I hoops by storm this season! With conference play now underway, we take a look at the first couple of months of the season and rank the top 5 Aussies by performance and impact.

NCAA Women: Mid-season top 5

So many Australian men are standing out in NCAA Division I hoops this season. With conference play now underway, we now take a look at the first couple of months of the season and rank the top 5 Aussies by performance and impact.

NCAA Men: Simmons headlines mid-season Top 5

Ben Simmons was one of just 2 freshman selected to the Wooden Award mid-season watch list of 25 players in contention for the 2015/16 NCAA Division I men's player of the year award.

NCAA Men: Simmons named to mid-season Wooden Award list

Includes full list of top 25.

Nail-biters were the order of the week for the Aussies in NCAA Division I action this week, with a handful of games finishing with margins of fewer than three points, with another going to overtime. Whilst players like Kristy Wallace and Sara Anastasieska came up big in clutch situations, Carly Turner was making the most of increased opportunities for Saint Mary's, muscling in on weekly honours in the process.

NCAA Women: Gaels’ turning opportunities into success

In a big wrap up of the past two weeks, Jock Landale has continued his emergence at Saint Mary's while Ben Simmons continues to dominate college basketball, both earning conference accolades this week.

NCAA Men: Landale and Simmons earn conference awards

The Aussie women in college continued to collect awards this week, with Nicole Seekamp, Alicia Froling and Geraldine McCorkell all receiving recognition for their outstanding play. Meanwhile, Saint Mary's Australian quartet put together some solid performances of their own to help the Gaels to a win over fellow Australian Emily Simons and Pacific.

Ben Simmons might be drawing all the attention, however there is another Aussie big man who continues to turn heads, that man is Majok Deng

NCAA Men: Simmons the standout, Deng turning heads

Plenty of good news beyond Simmons there LC. Venky Jois's numbers look like he would be a good fit as a Vukona or Petrie type in the NBL. What sort of level are we expecting him to play at after college? Will he come to the NBL?

We also seem to have some sharpshooters coming through in Naar, Von Hofe and Donlan too!

Yeah - Harry Froling committed to SMU this past week, joining Tom Wilson on a nationally ranked program for next season.

Dejan Vasiljevic committed to Miami too.

Jois could get some very good offers in Europe, fringe NBA but is currently unable to stretch defenses as he has not yet demonstrated range to the arc. Europe seems most likely.

Drmic is still battling lower leg never complications from his ankle surgery. This has limited him severely. NBL may be his best bet in the short term.

The Australians were back among the awards, earning some Australia Day Honours of a different type, as Tuesday saw Claire Ioannidis pick up the Atlantic Sun Newcomer of the Week, whilst Marena Whittle was awarded the Summit League Player of the Week after two double-doubles boosted her tally to ten for the season.

NCAA Women: Ioannidis and Whittle lead the way

I thought drmic might get a invite to an Nba camp...I'm not so sure now. Having his worst season in college imo.

Alicia froling looking like she might make the wnba if she continues playing so well.
33 points, 22 rebounds, 3 blocks


It's great to see Aussies doing well, but you also need to put it into context.
howcstrong is the team they are in? Are they the best players on that team, then look at the conferences the team plays in, and how they rank nationally.

Using SMU as an example, Simmons is surrounded by strong players, and that's not Taking anything away from his game as he's having a stand out season, Froling on the other hand would be the strongest on that team for sure( also great player) SMU men's sit at the top of their conference and rank 13th nationally, yet their actual conference is not classed as a top one in the NCAA, the SMU women on the other hand, sit mid field, yes they have THE best team in the NCAA in Conneticut for the women , but the rest in their conference don't even rank, SMU themselves come in at 135 , so it all needs to be put into perspective, bit like having a bench player for a state team go play domestic of course they should be raking up the stats, but put them up against a strong opponent and the outcome could be different( though both these would be strong in any game so yes makes my comment look a little crazy but SMU was the best way to point out the differences between comps and standards.)
Some of the standards these kids are playing in and against are not actually that good just because they are ranked as DIV 1......... It's the size of the college that gives the ranking, not the depth.

There were several excellent performances by Australians, but this week no doubt belonged to Alicia Froling. The sophomore forward set two school records and also compiled career-high's in scoring and rebounding on her way to leading SMU to victory against Cincinnati. Elsewhere, the freshmen had a week to remember, with Courtney Woods, Megan McKay, and Rachel Brewster all producing top-notch performances.

NCAA Women: Alicia Froling rewrites the record books

Senior forward Venky Jois has returned to his devastating best for Eastern Washington, earning Big Sky Conference Player of the Week honours for the first time this season. Jois, along with fellow big men Ben Simmons and Majok Deng were the standout Aussie performers in NCAA Division I basketball this week.

A nice article on Vasiljevic's commitment to Miami U.

Dejan Vasiljevic Shooting For The Stars

"I felt that choosing Miami would provide me with a necessary balance in terms of my athletic and academic developments and allow me to reach my professional goals."

The usual faces put in excellent shifts this week, with Funda Nakkasoglu, Lauren Nicholson, and Alicia Froling all among the top performers. There were also some great performances from some more unlikely sources, as Kiara Phillips helped Norfolk State break their season duck, whilst Alex Delaney and Yasmin Miller also showcased some scintillating play.
