Message: [QUOTE="From Canada, post: 5258181, member: 12092"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.usab.com/gamecast/2115[/URL] The American team won the Nke Hoop Summit yesterday by a score of 90-78. A fully deserved victory, even if the score was tied at three minutes of the 4th quarter. The Americans were more combative, more effective in shooting and in transition, especially defensively. Personally, I thought that with the short time available to coaches, they offered a much better collective performance than last year, with a total of 24 assists. Team USA was made up of players who are finishing their high school careers this year, and they have all committed to an NCAA team for the upcoming 2025-2026 season. See the article summarizing the match in attachment. On the world team side, seven players have committed to play in the NCAA next season. Let's take a look at the five players who have not committed. From France, [B]Aïnhoa Risacher[/B] (UConn P.O.I) currently has no indication that she wants to cross the ocean to the USA, and the same goes for [B]Sarah Cissé[/B], her compatriot. According to their ages, both are normally finishing high school this year. [B]Saffron Shiels[/B] from Australia turned 19 in January, and with a normal school career, she was old enough to play in the NCAA this year. Last year at the U18 2024 Asian Cup, she was Australia's best player in terms of efficiency, points scored, rebounds and assists. We should see her again at next summer's U19 World Cup. [B]Olivia Vukosa[/B] (UConn P.O.I class 2026) is only eligible for 2026, and yesterday's game was a little disappointing for her (17 min - 2 pts - 6 rebs). I'd have liked to see her work closer to the basket on attack, but she did well on the rebound. [B]Jovana Popovic[/B] from Serbia, PG 5'7, a good athlete who was born in October 2007, her high school career should end in 2026. I don't know her future intentions, yesterday she was a little more employed in the second half and did well, creating open shots for her teammates, which were not converted however. She finished the match with 18 min - 11 pts - 1 reb - 1 assist.
