Rosters Virtually Set for Philly Summer League

By Mel Greenberg @womhoopsguru

PHILADELPHIA -- Following last Thursday night's draft, the teams are set, barring the discovery of some errors, for this season's Philadelphia/Suburban Women's NCAA Summer League.

There will be 13 teams, not enough players registered to incrase by one to 14 with each gertting one bye prior to the late July playoffs with opening night set for June 16 at the Kelly Bolish Gymnasium, home of the AAU Renegades, in Willow Grove Commons Business Park in Harboro, Pa., same as the last several seasons.

Division II and Division III school squads are allowed to play in tact under NCAA rules, while teams are allowed only two Division I players from a particular school.

Saint Joseph's has 11 players in the league and Villanova has two while Lafayette and a few others have members playing.

Some rosters will have 11 players while others will have a few more, though those teams believe not everyone will show every night -- Tuesday and Thursday are game nights with three doubleheaders on all three courts.

Since the NCAA is expected to implement rules changes a week before the league begins, when the oversight committee votes on all the recommendations, the Guru suggested and it might occur that to help players get ready for NCAA play in the winter, the league will use four 10 minute quarters instead of two 20 minute halves, and anorther change involving the 10-second rule might be implemented.

Stay tuned.

For now, here are the rosters -- the schedule come soon, as sent by Commissioner David Kessler, who begins his 22nd year running the league.

On the group rosters such as Philadelphia University, West Chester, and USciences (formerly known as University of the Schiences of Philadelphia), when a player is not from that school, Kessler put down an indication besides the graduation year.

Some players have already graduated. The big news out of the league is that Saint Joseph's graduate Natasha Cloud, who was on the winning Gold team last summer, is a second round draft pick of the WNBA Washington Mystics and likely to make the roster.

Also, the commissioner now has a facebook page for the league -- link to come -- and he will post his newsletter there besides giving out the printed nightly edition while your Guru will continue here with a roundup.

There may be some nights that a brief descrepency in standings may occur -- most likely in points for and points against -- since we each keep our own as a safety check.

The draft mechanics are somewhat different since groups of players requested to be together and also schools suggested to the commissioner in terms of their D-1 participants, which two should be together.

All that said, here are the rosters of the 13 teams, who will be designated by their team color only when play gets under way.
