Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 2680260, member: 366"] I like both kids, but I'm being realistic about our chances with Sam, given the info on the board. Whom do I want most? I haven't seen either live. I wanted to drive 2 hours from my home to see Sam, but didn't fit it in, and I was in Haley's hometown on a golf trip, but totally spaced out and didn't even think about it. Based on what I have read, I prefer Haley. She is the top player on the nation's top team. The team lost only once, late in the California tournament in triple overtime when Haley fouled out. Her coach said they would have won, if not for the fouls. Everyone describes Haley as extremely versatile, which is a quality Geno likes. She's an excellent student and a great player. She was the Nike TOC MVP, as were Maya and Tina. Kids who win that are often the best of the best. Sam appears to be an excellent player too. At first, she was advertised as a smaller EDD or maybe a KLS. I don't think either is fully accurate. Sam has good size and a nice shot. There are some questions on her athleticism and speed. Her team lost in the Virginia quarterfinals, when she was slowed down by an athletic freshman (?) who said she was easier to defend than she expected. Contrast that with Haley's tournament performance. What are our changes with Haley? I think pretty good, but she plays 30 miles from Stanford and may be a Stanford caliber student. Of course, we beat out the Cardinal for Rebecca, Sue, and Lou, so I have my fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
