Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3825904, member: 7894"] I mean just recently Van Lith, Dalayah Daniels, von Oelhoffen, Jordyn Jenkins to name a few, none of which chose UW or in state schools. Pivec recently, Brittany McPhee a little before that. Courtney Vandersloot. It was before I was paying any attention to girls HS basketball but Leilani Mitchell is from Tri Cities. Kate Starbird from back in the day. Sheila Lambert. Joyce Walker way back when. That's a few I've come up with, I'm sure there are plenty more. None chose UW. They must've gotten a few somewhat highly recruited locals to stay home, but I'm not coming up with a good list (McD's AA Katie Collier and Deja Strother were both Huskies and neither really panned out). Oh, Briann January, that's another one. Some of those weren't Puget Sound area/Western Washington, and UW is less likely to get players from Central/Eastern WA. Gonzaga's Elite 8 run was powered by Vandersloot, Heather Bowman and Kayla Standish, all WA products. edit--I probably don't have to remind you of Angie Bjorklund. I think she was rated #2 in her class, although I don't think she really lived up to it. [/QUOTE]
