Hannah Gusters posted on her Instagram story today that she is announcing her commitment soon. I may be late to the party on this but are we still pursuing her or is this a long shot?

BTW, I couldn't find mention her the story on her IG. Can you quote it maybe?

Aaliyah Edwards vs Laeticia Amihere back in December. Edwards had a big 3rd quarter. Edwards #24 in white, Amihere #15 in purple.

December? Amihere looks good no brace of noticeable straining. Were we able to confirm if she had a second injury which required surgery and rehab at South Carolina?

Definitely still pursuing her. I’m going to guess Baylor or UConn. Those were her only two home visits I think (don’t remember if Texas did too).

Texas was the third home visit. Seems to be one of those three.

It’s going to be hard to sway her away from Texas and Baylor!!!! And UCONN hasn’t had luck on landing any bigs the past few years. We were very lucky to have landed Olivia. Texas is so overrated not sure why top recruits even consider going there.. just don’t see player development like I see at Baylor .... most Texan kids stay home so I would be shocked if we land her

Geno and CD had a home visit with her on March 4th so that's affirmative.

It might mean nothing, but Gusters re-tweeted both Paige Bueckers' verbal announcement tweet, and Bueckers' tweet of support to Azzi Fudd after Fudd's injury.
Expand ...

hopefully we're going to see Paige Buecker's drawing power in the coming weeks.................Gusters would be a great place to start..................

Is anyone else seeing the obvious shade here?

If it were from Treasure then yes. But a parent publicly trying to humiliate another player is just plain tacky. Hailey Van Lith has no final say on who’s named to the final team
 
I understand Kiki’s anger. If Team Quest won, no doubt all 4 players would be going to the World Championships. I think Treasure deserves a spot. I just don’t like how she went about it, almost a direct attack at Hailey Van Lith, which isn’t deserved.

It is not from treasure. What you call tacky is what I'm calling shade and @Argonaut is calling saltiness.
While I disagree with this method I do thing she Kiki Hunt has a valid point. Hailey Van Lith's team lost in the 3 X 3 championship Game to Treasure's team. What would be the basis of selecting Hailey Van Lith over Treasure or Paige.

And, tbh, this is a terrible lesson to teach your kid. Sometimes, even though you feel like you’re the best person for the job, you don’t get it. This is a life lesson that doesn’t need to be played out on Twitter.

The lesson here should be “work harder and prove them wrong.”

But y’all know that. :rolleyes:

Have to disagree a little bit. This was not a job audition, it was a athletic team event where the winning team gets to play for a world championship. Hunt's team won. She should get an opportunity to go play for a world championship. Mom is setting a terrible example by attacking Hailey Van Lith but fundamentally she has a point.

I was under the impression that it was a giant try-out and they could pick and choose players (or a whole team, if they were so inclined).

Was it somewhere that it was guaranteed that the whole team would move on?

Since the inception of 3X3 (2013) the winning team has always moved on with exceptions of replacements being made for injured players or players that have other commitments. The history can be found here:
USA Basketball Women's 3x3 U18 National Championship

2016 is the last year that has an asterisk noting that the winning team qualifies for the world championship. I’ll do some more research when I’m on my computer.
