Does anyone know ????

when the new kids usually show up and if the pick up games in the practice center are open to the public? I seemed to remember that Poppens and Schroll showed up shortly after their graduations last summer.

Generally, the new kids show up for orientation/summer session that starts in early June.

The practice facility is not open to the public, IIRC. However, with a big enough donation to the athletic dept, you might be able to ask for a tour.

They will be coming to a city near you. You can watch for about $60.

I don't know about generalities, but, on Monday of the NCAA tournament, my bride and I, big fans, but not big donors, showed up at the Sukup Basketball Complex and got a tour. There were no WBB players present, I think they had practiced at Hilton and Greenbay was scheduled to practice later in the day on the men's side. My sense is that the athletic department is more open than some think.

Tornado Man can probably answer this question best. I know he has watched some practices. I would probably PM him.

At the monthly coach's talk, BF often says just call his secretary if you would like to come to practice. But he says that during the season, so I'm not sure how it works during the off-season. But she is the place to start.

Seems like a good idea to have a monthly open practice/pick-up that is announced and people bring a donation for the food bank or something...
