Class of 2022, so ... 8th grade. I'm surprised she's not already committed to Louisville.
Laeticia Amihere:
Through all of her earlier work, Amihere had quietly maintained a goal that could now be a little tougher to achieve: to jump from No. 2 in the ESPN rankings for the recruiting class of 2019 to No. 1, rarefied air for a Canadian prospect.
"I've been working. A couple of months ago I was actually ranked No. 3. Moving up to No. 2 was a good jump, but definitely getting to that No. 1 spot is my goal and what I strive for every day," she said.
Wherever she lands in the recruiting rankings, a college basketball program somewhere is going to be elated to welcome her. In September, she narrowed her list of potential schools down to 14, a wide net to be sure, with plenty of time to work through the choices before committing. She plans to take sports management courses wherever she lands, a goal which helped her narrow the options initially. On that list are some of college basketball's powerhouses. If they want to land Amihere, they'll have to offer more than just a winning pedigree.
"For me, what's really important is skill development. Being able to develop your players," she said. "Obviously, a lot of the top programs will do that. And obviously, the relationship I have with the coaches, that really sparked a lot. I know a lot of players that are NCAA, so asking around to my friends and my peers that are in the NCAA, I got a lot of insight. They really helped me through the process, telling me pros and cons and really what to watch out for."

South Carolina, Louisville and Connecticut all have good Sports Management programs with SC and Louisville usually ranked in/around the top 10.
So you’re telling me there’s a chance!
But it's a shorter walk to ESPN from Storrs than it is from Columbia or Louisville.South Carolina, Louisville and Connecticut all have good Sports Management programs with SC and Louisville usually ranked in/around the top 10.

My 2-year-old granddaughter has parents who are nearly 6'4" and 5'11" and is off the growth charts. I should tell Jeff what she wants for Christmas.And just think,next year she goes to high school,whoo hoo. Seriously though,this seems to be what coaches have to do to compete with other schools.It was only a short time ago that Geno wouldn't contact high school players until their junior year.Look for Walz and Freese to start canvassing premie wards and measuring tibias and femurs.
Azzi and Burnelle spotted that the Maryland vs S. Carolina game. I’m hoping they are both Uconn leans.
Jordan Horston (2019), Kierstan Bell (2019), Gabby Hutcherson (2020, ESPN ranks her in the top 25) and Anyssa Jones (2020, Hutcherson's High School Teammate) were all at the Countdown to Columbus. Horston and Bell were sitting in the section behind the UConn/OSU bench. I also, not surprisingly, saw Myra Gordon there as well.

not sure if it has been posted but Amihere tore her ACL last month.

It’s only natural for Canadians to want to play for a school whose mascot is a Husky. I hope she and Laeticia Amihere come to our game in Toronto.
This was included in the article:wow....did not hear that before....a real shame, fortunately the surgery to repair the ACL has proven to be pretty successful but she certainly loses important development time
Damn! Wishing Laeticia a full & speedy recovery.not sure if it has been posted but Amihere tore her ACL last month.

Sam lives about 2 hours away, and Azzi lives about 30 minutes away (plus traffic). I hope to watch both this season.Well Brunelle is still considering both schools and lives within a few hours drive and Fudd is no doubt being recruited by Maryland and she probably lives barely 30 minutes away.. I’d be more surprised if they weren’t there.
I hadn't heard that. It's awful! Best wishes to Laeticia!Damn! Wishing Laeticia a full & speedy recovery.
