Hey Tiger Fans!
My name is Jordan Cook, and I have been a student manager for your Missouri Women's Basketball team since my freshman year at Mizzou in 2010. I am a senior now, and also a Mizzou Strategic Communications Assistant for the Athletic Department. That means I will be updating the /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx this year!
I hope to give you all team updates and insights through my eyes as a student manager.
In my last /sports/2015/3/19/GEN_2014010156.aspx I informed you on where our most recent alumni are now, as well as introduced you to the incoming freshman. Since then the program was happy to announce the addition of two new transfers. First we have Tania Jackson, a 6-3 senior forward from Kansas. Second is Davionna Holmes, a 6-3 redshirt freshman forward from Louisville. Jackson will wear number 15 for the Tigers this season, and Holmes appears on the roster as number 5. For more information on both fans can access player bios on MUTIGERS.com.
Not only do we have new players, but some new staff on the squad as well. Michael Porter who served as The Director of Basketball Operations last season has been named as an Assistant Coach. Mike Donovan, who was a graduate student coach this past season has been named Coordinator of Video Operations. Heather Page who was working as Coordinator of Operations in the past is now Director of Operations. Even though their titles have changed, all three are already very familiar with the Women's Basketball Program here at Mizzou and are very eager for these new opportunities.
For video updates fans can look forward to keeping up with our "On the Prowl" feature under news which has live video from your Missouri Women's Team.
The month of September has been all about team individual workouts. This is one of my favorite parts of the year because you really get a good look at each player hands on. Individuals take place in the pre and post season. Pre-season individuals are always right after the summer, and I like them the most because it is so awesome to see the amount of work the girls put in over the summer reflect into their individual workouts. They just keep getting better and better. Their shooting, ball handling, passing, post moves, and everything else just looks really solid. I am very excited to see what is in store for our team this season, as well as what the new members of our program will have to add.
Official practices will begin on October 2nd and our first exhibition game will take place on October 29th at Mizzou Arena against Southwest Baptist at 7pm.

As Mizzou takes its national-best record to the Rice Invitational this weekend, it is off to its best start since 2005. In 2005, that team wound up advancing the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. Clearly, there is still a lot of work to be done for this year's group, but there are a lot of similarities between this year's group and the 2005 team. We will break them down on the VolleyBlog today.
