Smith has now been added to the roster. Thanks for the head's up on the Kalamazoo promise. I was aware of the program but didn't think about how it would impact the team.

Wow. That'll be a huge class along with the transfer!

The only person who I've lost track of is this year's preferred walk-on, Janell Smith. She's not on the roster (yet), and it looks like she'll have no chance of a scholly next year. It looks like Michigan will max out at 15 in 09/10.

I believe Janell Smith has a four year scholarship through the Kalamazoo Promise program so presumably she won't need to worry about getting an athletic scholarship. I'm not sure how the NCAA counts something like that, but since it isn't through U of M I'd assume she is not part of the 15 scholarship limit.

From the front page of gprep.net:

Wayzata High School superstar Kate Thompson is taking her game to the Big Ten Conference. The 6'3" Trojan senior guard verballed to the University of Michigan. Thompson has great handles. She can rebound the ball on both ends of the court, score in the post and shoot the 3-pointer. Thompson's versatility allows her to be effective in all areas of the game like passing, scoring and dictating tempo. Not only is Thompson a great player, she is also a great honor student who carries a 4.0 GPA!

A class of 6 plus a transfer becomes eligible, a total of 7. Half the roster !! Has anyone heard anything about Kate??
