Cecilia Zandalasini

[winlots]

Attenzione, Coach! Zandalasini ranked #4 or so? What's not to like?? Fascini, Geno, fascini!

 

[UcMiami]

Interesting that two of the top five HG are now Europeans - first I've heard of her so her decision to head to the US for college must be recent?

 

[John Glass]

I assume she is about to sign with a US College, does anyone know who she is considering ?

I did a quick google. There was some talk in 2013 on a Cal message board about their coach being in Italy to recruit CZ.

Also found an article saying that she signed with an Italian pro team but not to a pro contract, so she still has NCAA elibility. Last year she played in the Italian 2nd division: http://lovewomensbasketball.com/201...signs-young-italian-star-cecilia-zandalasini/

If somebody gets her in college, they're gonna get a nice player. She looks physically ready anyway. And yes a nice jump shot.

 

[Tre Cal]

Cal coach Gottlieb had a home visit with her sometime last year in Italy. Not sure who else is recruiting her.

 

[doggydaddy]

She is really, really good.

Geno, Per assumere questa bellezza italiana.

 

[wallman]

I got a little confused when I read this as she has a birthdate of March 16, 1996!

RW: you aren't kiddin' about the jump shot....notice the step back element as well

DD: ditto. This should be a lay up for our Head Coach. And Cal as a possible destination?? Easy to point out to Zandalasini that every California girl who can really play comes to UCONN..........Taurasi....Lewis.....Samuelson etc......so why to from Italy to Cal..........and then there is also the "mangia" factor.

Sorry. I could only "like" the first two.

If that step back is consistent, she could be a tremendous player at 6'1".

RWV: Well, I do appreciate that one, though I'm moved to say you appear to be a little short on consistency and long on fickle . By the way, with reference to your BY handle, I learned to take naps from an Arkansas roommate (1 of eleven in our suite) my senior year in college. Did you have a mentor in that regard?

I'm proud to say I come by that particular talent naturally ! 1 0f 11 !!! No wonder he napped. Who could sleep in that crowd ?

Excellent way to get your post numbers up. 2 repeats and 2 explaining the repeats. 5 posts for the value of 1.

MEYER: out loud chuckles here. You know, unlike Geno , I don't teach my secrets to just anyone. (That really does concern me sometimes, the way he is always revealing his tactics, strategies, emphases. If he doesn't get the best players, he's maybe toast?)

 

[Sonny44]

All that plus one of the finest pony-tails I've seen in years.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Will she be playing in Turkey?

 

[Gate81]

Chiney may be playing on her team this winter, per my Google research...

SON: not to mention a name that is nothing short of melodic........on top of that step back jumper that could be a dagger. Know I'm going out on a limb here (been there), but with little data I'm starting to hope we go after this kid for many reasons.
