She's listed as 5'8" but I couldn't find her weight but she looks like she has the kind of build that no one will be able to push her around.
Wonder which freshman are going to get shuffled out?...
The inner workings of our coach's decisions are a mystery to me. All I know is she's VERY good at what she does.

With the freshman class we have coming in, I doubt if any of them get "shuffled out."

Serious question(s) here: I know that the Big Ten has a policy that a student-athlete who starts out on scholarship cannot lose their scholarship (unlike other DI schools, where scholarships are essentially 'renewable' on a year to year basis); it is a four year agreement. That leads some coaches to offer prospective student-athletes such things as word-of-honor "two and two" agreements, where the S-A doesn't start on scholarship, but will be given one two years into their time with the team.
So the question are: does that policy apply to Big Ten teams not playing in a Big Ten conference? (I would expect so) Does it only apply to "head count" sports, or does it also apply to "equivalency" (partial scholarship) sports such as ice hockey?
That is, just how easily - or not - can Muzzy actually "shuffle out" a freshman?
With regard to your specific question, I don't know. I know of a case where a WCHA student athlete was ineligible due a Big Ten rule rather than an NCAA rule, and the Big Ten rule was binding. I would assume that would be true of other Big Ten rules as well, provided that there was not some special exception to it for the sport in question.So the question are: does that policy apply to Big Ten teams not playing in a Big Ten conference?

There may be a difference between what can be done by the letter of the law and what the talent pool will tolerate. There have been conversations on here over the years regarding programs where coaching staffs were not honoring verbal commitments made during the recruiting process, and the point was made that the female hockey community is a rather small one. Word gets around if it turns out student athletes don't feel that they were treated honestly. I don't think a program has the option of "shuffling out" a recruit after an NLI has been signed but before she has completed a season of eligibility. After that, I don't know what is officially allowed. We also don't always know who is/isn't on scholarship.That is, just how easily - or not - can Muzzy actually "shuffle out" a freshman?
I will now step aside and wait patiently for Pgb's top fond memory from the 2023 Frozen Four!
Question...
If the Muzzinator is shuffling the deck of cards, do you play the card game with her?
Go ahead and take your chances on the cards.
But please, please do not challenge her to a game of Mumbley Peg.
