4 Kansas Women s Basketball Prospectus Season Outlook -- Jayhawks Aiming High In Henrickson s Second Year -- Head coach Bonnie Henrickson enters her second season at Kansas in For second year head coach Bonnie Henrickson the foundation has been set and she is ready to build. Armed with a top-25 recruiting class -- her first class at KU -- and six dedicated returning players, Henrickson and the Jayhawks are poised to make significant strides in that building process and make a strong run at postseason play in We re excited about our first recruiting class and the growth of those players already in our program, Henrickson said. We ll need to continue to build on the foundation we set last season, but we feel like we have the pieces in place to have the type of improvement that we expect. In year one, Henrickson instilled in her team the importance of working hard and coming right every day. Although undersized and short on bodies, the Jayhawks learned what Bonnie Ball was all about, and the improvements were evident as the team experienced its best campaign in five seasons. I think we made great progress, Henrickson said. In areas of strength and conditioning, we saw tremendous growth. Defensively, we were better than I had anticipated and, most importantly, we learned to be consistent in our work ethic. This season, Henrickson will have more to work with in terms of size, depth and perhaps most importantly leadership. A trio of seniors who started last season return, including Erica Hallman, Kaylee Brown and Crystal Kemp. I expect Erica, Kaylee and Crystal -- having been with us for a year and understanding what the expectation level is -- to lead us. They also understand what the increased expectation level for this team will be as far as getting to the postseason, and I think they are quite capable, Henrickson said. I ve noticed some change from them in the spring and summer, but just like anything else I ll always ask for a little bit more. Playing in the postseason was an annual and expected event for the Jayhawks in years past. Henrickson believes that with the right determination, this year s Jayhawks can put themselves in the position to have that chance again. It s realistic for us to feel like we have a chance to move up in the Big 12 North and knock on the door for postseason, Henrickson said. If it s the WNIT and we build from there, then that s a good place to start. She knows it won t come easy, but Henrickson proved in her first year that her teams were capable of exceeding expectations. The players who were in the program our first year -- those kids individually all got better, and we also improved as a team, Henrickson said. We must continue to recruit and add talented players and we re excited about the players we ve added this year. But, if we re going to continue to compete in this league, we need more growth and more progress. Other returnees joining the senior class include junior guard Sharita Smith and sophomore forwards Taylor McIntosh and Jamie Boyd. McIntosh was a surprise starter last season earning her way with intense rebounding and defense. Smith and Boyd operated primarily as the first two weapons off the bench. Five newcomers, including four freshmen and one junior, will look to make immediate impacts. Junior College Player of the Year Shaquina Mosley joins freshmen Ivana Catic and Sophronia Sallard on the perimeter, while freshmen posts Jen Orgas and Marija Zinic will fight for minutes in the paint. Noticeably missing from last year s starting lineup is departed senior Aquanita Burras -- the thirdleading scorer and team s top defensive specialist. Replacing Burras defensive intensity is a tall order, but Henrickson is penciling in Smith or one of the several talented newcomers to fill that void. I talked to Sharita at the end of last season about becoming our defensive presence this year, Henrickson said. She is the most likely candidate to be able to replace Aqua defensively but she s going to have to have a willingness to put in the hard work it takes to do something like that. Shaq is another player who we think could really be a great defender. Since day one, Henrickson has emphasized defense and creating opportunities from the defense. While it remains to be seen just who will step up on that end of the floor, the offensive firepower should be vastly improved. Point guards At the point guard position, the Jayhawks should be loaded with the return of Hallman and the addition of Mosley and Catic. Hallman, more of a natural two-guard, slid over to play point and started all 28 games as the floor leader in As newcomers Mosley and Catic develop, Hallman will be able to move back over to the wing to open up more opportunities for her to utilize her long-range shooting prowess. Offensively, we ve solidified the point guard position with the addition of Ivana and Shaq, Henrickson said. But if Erica is our best point guard, she s going to play there until those other two are ready. Hopefully that transition will happen sooner than later, and when it does we ll have a pretty nice threat on the wing that we didn t have last year. Hallman, an honorable mention All-Big 12 performer, was the team s leading three-point shooter last season and ranks in the KU all-time top five in all three-point shooting categories. Her year of development under Henrickson running the point should give her a great advantage heading into this season. Erica just has a great ability to score, Henrickson said. She makes tough shots and makes them look easy. Her unselfishness and willingness to move over and play the point will make her an even better two-guard this year. In Catic and Mosley, KU has secured a pair of winners who know what it takes to be successful and the importance of working hard. Ivana is a very dynamic left-handed point guard who can penetrate and dish or knock down the open jumper, Henrickson said.

5 Erica, she is able to create easy opportunities for her teammates. She is a tremendously fit kid and really takes pride in hard work -- she may have the easiest transition to the intensity of our workouts because she really understands and respects that. Mosley comes to Kansas after two very successful seasons at Central Arizona College playing for one of the most respected junior college coaches in the game, Lin Laursen. As a sophomore last year, Mosley was named the WBCA Junior College Player of the Year as she led CAC to the national title. Although a bit undersized, Mosley is a fearless competitor who can compete well against larger players. Shaq is explosive and plays much bigger than her body frame, Henrickson said. She elevates very well -- I ve seen her go up and take rebounds from post players. At Central Arizona, she played for a coach who understands pushing the ball in transition and also executing in a half court set. She ll have to adjust to this level handling the ball with the type of defense she will face in our league. She, along with Sharita, could be one of our defensive leaders. Wings In addition to Hallman, who figures to slide over to the wing once the point guard position is solidified, KU returns Brown and Smith to go with newcomer Sallard who was rated as a top 25 player by one recruiting service. The addition of Sallard combined with the increased depth at point guard should lead to fierce competition for minutes. Brown was a 25-game starter a year ago and hit 43 treys, good for a share of ninth on KU s single season list. She got off to a red hot start, hitting a three in 14 of the first 15 games and played solid defense drawing nine charges -- the second most on the squad. Kaylee understands that we can get her good shots, Henrickson said. What we need her to do now is finish the year as well as she started it. She hit some big threes for us last year and we would not have been able to have as good a season without her. Smith, like Hallman, was asked to play out of position at times last year as she spent part of her minutes as the backup point guard. While Henrickson believes Smith could ultimately flourish as the squad s defensive specialist, the junior has shown flashes of being a contributor on offense. She s made progress in her overall game, Henrickson said. We re working on her ability to penetrate and kick or hit the mid-range shot. Everyone is going to have to fight for minutes, but I think she could find her niche with her defensive presence. Eager and willing to contribute in her first season is Sallard, a freshman from Syracuse, N.Y. The most highly-touted player in Henrickson s initial recruiting class, Sallard has a natural feel for the game and brings many intangibles. Sophronia has a complete game for her age, Kansas Women s Basketball Prospectus Kansas returns its top two outside scorers and leading inside presence in seniors Kaylee Brown, Erica Hallman and Crystal Kemp, pictured above left to right. Henrickson said. She is a great mid-range player and a fantastic passer -- she passes the same way Erica does. She has the ability to get to the rim and score or force another defender to pick her up and drop a pass. She s going to get her teammates layups, or if you deny them, she s going to finish. Also joining the talented group of incoming players is walk-on Katie Smith. Smith played her high school career alongside Orgas as Skutt Catholic HS in Omaha, Neb. Forwards In the post, KU will be anchored by Kemp, an honorable mention All-Big 12 selection last year. Kemp has led the Jayhawks in scoring for two seasons and was KU s top rebounder a year ago. Last year as a junior, Kemp was the only player on the squad taller than 6-0, and was forced to carry the majority of the load inside. This year, Kemp should be freed up, and have more room to operate with the growth in the games of second-year players Boyd and McIntosh, and the additions of Orgas and Zinic. With Crystal, we re going to need her to be able to play a more physical game in the low post -- for her to be able to take a beating and still finish, Henrickson said. She s made strides in her fitness, and we ll need her to be a leader on both ends of the floor. In their initial campaigns with the Crimson & Blue, Boyd and McIntosh were forced to learn on the job. McIntosh quickly gained her reputation with rebounding and defense. As a sophomore, she will look to expand her game offensively. We need the same defensive and rebounding effort we got from Taylor last year, Henrickson said. She s gotten stronger and can handle more contact inside. We need her to be a better high post player, but if she can drive and finish and knock down the occasional jumper, she ll be fine. Boyd operated as one of the top two reserves in her rookie campaign and has had a great offseason. Her development could be key to giving Kemp the necessary rest she did not receive last season. Jamie has made tremendous progress -- specifically reading defenses, making moves and scoring off one leg, Henrickson said. We re hoping for her to be able to give us more as far as being able to knock down a pull-up or high post jumper, but also be able to spin, create some space and become a better one-on-one player down low. Orgas, who was the first player to commit to Henrickson after she took over at KU last year, figures to have plenty of opportunities to contribute at either post position. A 6-2 skilled player, Orgas will add depth at high and low post. She s going to have to be guarded at either spot, which is going to open things up for Crystal, Henrickson said of Orgas. Her work ethic and competitiveness will really help her in her bid for playing time as a freshman. Also joining the mix in the post is Zinic. A native of Serbia and Montenegro, Zinic has extensive international experience playing alongside Catic as a member of numerous junior national and national teams. A skilled perimeter player, she will look to use her strengths to stretch defenses. Marija is a very skilled post player as a passer and a shooter, Henrickson said. She s probably the one post player who could step out beyond three-point range to help open up space inside. Because of her international influence, she brings a lot of perimeter skills for a post player. She ll need to develop her low post offense and defense, but we can teach her that. With more weapons in the paint and on the perimeter, KU has the necessary ingredients it needs to build on last year s improvement. Henrickson believes the returning players and the rookies should quickly adapt to working together. I think our freshmen and Shaq will mix very well with the players we have coming back, Henrickson said. We were able to be specific in our positional needs as we were recruiting, and we picked up some offensive punch. 5

6 One of the hottest young coaches in the country, Bonnie Henrickson has invigorated the University of Kansas women s basketball program after wrapping up her inaugural season as head coach of the Jayhawks. Under her guidance in , Kansas posted its most wins (12) and conference wins (5) in four seasons, and placed eighth in the Big 12 Conference -- the highest Jayhawk finish in five years. Using the qualities that earned her the 2005 Carol Eckman Award -- an award given by the WBCA which recognizes a coach who exemplifies spirit, integrity and character through sportsmanship, commitment to the student-athlete, honesty, ethical behavior, courage and dedication to purpose -- she developed juniors Crystal Kemp and Erica Hallman into KU s first two All-Big 12 selections since Henrickson s success during her initial season on the Jayhawk sidelines was also evident off the court. Five student-athletes were named to the Athletic Director s Honor Roll, with Kemp and senior Blair Waltz earning First Team Academic All-Big 12 honors. As a group, the team posted its highest GPA in four years. Henrickson s work did not go unnoticed as average home attendance rose 38 percent from a year ago, and reached its highest level in four seasons. Henrickson arrived at KU after establishing herself as one of the nation s brightest young coaches at Virginia Tech, where she was head coach for seven seasons and guided the Hokies to a record of and seven postseason appearances. Under her leadership, Virginia Tech reached the NCAA tournament five times and the WNIT twice, and won 20 or more games every season. In , Henrickson led the Hokies to a 23-8 overall record, including a 10-6 mark in the Kansas Women s Basketball Prospectus Bonnie Henrickson Head Coach St. Cloud State 86 2nd season (.429) at KU Big East, a conference which placed eight teams in the NCAA Tournament. Virginia Tech advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament for the second straight year before bowing out to No. 5 Penn State. When Henrickson took over at Virginia Tech for the season, she orchestrated the biggest turnaround in school history. She guided her team to a record, the school s first Atlantic 10 Conference title and an NCAA second-round appearance just one season after the Hokies had finished last in the Atlantic 10 Conference with a record. Henrickson, who owns a total of 17 years of coaching experience, has helped guide teams to postseason play 11 of the last 12 straight years. After serving as assistant coach for the Hokies from , Henrickson was elevated to associate head coach in the season. That year, Virginia Tech improved its record to 24-6 and made its first-ever NCAA appearance. The following season Tech recorded its first-ever NCAA tournament win. Henrickson took her talents to the University of Iowa to serve as an assistant coach in Her two-year stint at Iowa produced a Sweet 16 appearance in 1996 and two Big Ten Conference Championships. In her two years, Iowa had a record of In July 2000, she was the head coach of the women s USA Basketball team that traveled to Taiwan for the R. William Jones Cup competition. This appointment marked her second stint with a USA Basketball team; she also served as an assistant coach on the Team USA squad that won the silver medal at the 1999 World University Games. Her Hokies posted a school-best 28-3 record, including a 15-1 conference record and a trip to the NCAA Sweet 16. For her efforts, Henrickson was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year. She also was a finalist for national coach of the year honors.

7 biggest stars, including All-American Lisa Witherspoon, Virginia Tech career statistical leaders Michelle Houseright and Katie O Connor, threetime GTE Academic All-American Christi Osborne and honorable mention All-American Jenny Root, who finished her career as the Hokies alltime leading rebounder. Henrickson, a Willmar, Minn., native, graduated from St. Cloud State University in As a player, she helped SCSU win three Northern Sun Conference championships and advance to three NCAA Division II quarterfinals. In her four years as a player, SCSU compiled a overall record, including a 31-4 mark in her sophomore season. She still ranks among the school leaders in points (4th - 1,731), rebounds (3rd - 995), free throws (1st - 507) and free throw percentage (4th -.790). She also was named to the all-conference team three times. Henrickson served as team captain her junior and senior years. She earned her master s degree in physical education in 1988 from Western Illinois University while serving as a graduate assistant coach with the women s basketball team. Henrickson was named the fifth head women s basketball coach at Kansas on March 29, In her first year on the KU bench, head coach Bonnie Henrickson guided the Jayhawks to their most wins (12) and most conference wins (5) since , and their highest Big 12 finish (8th) since Heard Around The Big 12 Second year head coach Bonnie Henrickson made a splash in the league in her inaugural campaign. In its postseason honors, the Kansas City Star tipped its cap to Henrickson giving her honorable mention recognition for Big 12 Coach of the Year because she s already accomplished a lot in one season in Lawrence. Big 12 coaches have also taken notice and here s a sampling of what her peers have said. -- Baylor Head Coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson, Feb. 23, 2005 What happens when you have a new staff is that you get a renewed sense of enthusiasm and energy from your players. I feel like, from an outsider looking in, that is what Bonnie is getting. She is getting effort, they are executing offenses and they are really exploiting each player s individual strength. She s to be commended for the job that she has done in a short period of time. -- Oklahoma Head Coach Sherri Coale, Feb. 2, 2005 The improvement of the Kansas team from last year to this year is nothing short of phenomenal. Bonnie (Henrickson) has been able to do (so much) with them. The first thing you notice is their conditioning, endurance and their strength. The second thing you notice is their discipline and their plan. It s a good plan and you have to work to take them out of it. I think that is a hard thing to do in this league. She s done a remarkable job. I watched Bonnie s teams at Virginia Tech and they always really guard you. She does a great job of recruiting and recruiting kids that can play the way she wants to play. You know at an institution like this, she s going to have success. -- Texas A&M Head Coach Gary Blair, Jan. 15, 2005 This Kansas team runs its offense better than we run our offense generally because of their older kids and because they don t go to their bench unless their in foul trouble. When they have that first five in there they are strong, the execution is perfect. This program (Kansas) is similar to what we (Texas A&M) did last year. We played everybody close but we just couldn t get over the hump. You re looking at a Top-25 coach in Bonnie Henrickson -- some of you may not be familiar with what she did at Virginia Tech and being an assistant at Iowa. A lot of times coaches can come in and build a program in a hurry and she ll get it done. She s already had a good recruiting year. -- Texas Head Coach Jody Conradt, Jan. 5, 2005 Tonight, we got pushed by a good team. I have a great deal of respect for Bonnie (Henrickson) and what she will undoubtedly do as Kansas made their coaching change after last season. If Kansas is No. 12, it s going to be a long, tough conference schedule. -- Kansas State Head Coach Deb Patterson, Summer 2004 Bonnie Henrickson is a tremendous addition to the pool of great coaches in the Big 12 Conference. Bonnie is the ideal person and coach to build upon the great tradition and success Coach Washington established during her tenure at Kansas. 7
