Taylor Bigby 14 points

Sasha Goforth: 18 points
 
Time to play who is Jasmine Lister following now.

Today's answer is Spanish post player Paula Fraile, a 6-4, 16-year-old.

Paula Fraile (ESP, 2002, 6’4, C)

Paula Fraile was on my initial watch-list prior to the tournament and I’m really happy I get to write about her upon conclusion of the competition because she is such a promising modern big. Very tall as you can read, she runs the court perfectly to finish in transition if needed, can stretch the court with a solid looking and confident outside shot. Her numbers are not actually that relevant but it is a matter of (short) time before she converts much more of her attempts and gets more efficient on the glass. She looks very composed on the floor and her learning curve appears huge to me. Definitely a big prospect for Spain in the years to come.

all of a sudden we're hearing about all of these European players as possible recruits..............the question is whether UConn is late to the game here:

In order to answer this question one would have to know precisely when UCONN started recruiting these players. We don't. I guessing it was well before you and I heard about it.

Not sure Hannah Gusters is going to play again this season:


There had been a district executive committee meeting scheduled for last week to determine if Gusters would be eligible to play this season, but that meeting was postponed indefinitely. Gusters has not played yet for MacArthur.

The transfer was a red flag for me. The lack of though by the adults involved in advising her throughout this process is concerning. By NOT determining if Gusters would be eligible to play at MacArthur before transferring has cost her junior year of HS basketball.

Exactly what I was thinking. Isn't that the first question the parents and MacArthur coach would be asking? Especially since it appears that the Duncanville coach held the cards and could challenge that the transfer was for athletic reasons.

Wouldn't wish her too well. It's likely she's going to stand in the way of national titles in a couple years.

she can score 40 points per game in every game of the season as long as she's not playing UConn...............;)

Yesterday's Tresnjevka game. Nika Muhl scored 13 points though her team was clobbered, and she seems to have little help. She's #10 in black.


 
Incidentally, if Muhl really is in the class of 2020 then she will be 19-1/2 at the beginning of her freshmen year. She'd be eligible to go pro after her junior season.

as we've already experienced with our talented Australian recruit, there are a number of issues to overcome in getting these players over here to play four years of college ball..............obviously many are coming to the USA but perhaps some of the best will choose to stay and turn pro.........

to be honest, once she selected Stanford over UConn I totally lost interest......I wish her well

Is Jones as good as either of the Ogwumike sisters were when they were seniors in high school? Stanford had both for at least two seasons and won no, nada NC. They also had two Samuelson sisters and and won no NC. By the time she gets to Stanford, UConn's players will be one season older and hitting on all cylinders. They will also have the help of two foreign bigs and a senior transfer. UConn will be fine. Remember, CW promised four NC. Don't you believe her?
