As @DaBball posted in the recruiting thread.

Host country is Hungary and games will be in August. Here is the draw:

[ed4ourgirls]

USA and Aussies in the same group. If the Aussie U19s are as competitive as
their senior team, that's a tough draw.

You may be over estimating the ability of BY eyes to resolve bold black from bold purple.

 

[Cuango]

One wonders why Caroline didn’t get an invitation? Actually, I should have said “if”!

Point well taken and edited.

This is a list of players that accepted an invitation to try out- we do not know for sure that Caroline was not extended an invitation.

 

[nuna23]

yeah Caroline should be thier...feel sorry for paige she's injured ??but hope azzi win the mvp ??

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Love to see what Patterson could do in that format as one of the youngest players.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Patterson and Betts appear to be the only high school juniors.

I do not see Caitlin feeding Azzi as well as Paige.

 

[UConnCat]

Will Aaliyah Edwards play on Canada's U-!9 team or its senior team in the AmeriCup?

 

[Kaizen]

Paige should be the PG starter if she does not have the surgery. Then UConn will have 3 starters ...

Good read & reasoning.

• I have not seen that much of Feagin on tape recently to know if she'd start. Do you think she's that much better/advanced than Angel Reese?
• Based on what I saw of Arizona in the NCAA Tourney, I think of Lauren Ware as a center, but I don't think it will make a difference in the end run.
• Obviously a bunch of talent at the PG and SG postions.

@DaBball wrote in the General Basketball area that he thought he saw an earlier list of Maddy Westbeld on this invitee list. If true, I guess maybe something came up along the way? Too bad, I think if she made the team, she could've added to the squad.

It will be interesting to see if the team offense and minutes allotment allow her to average almost 20 shots and 10 3s a game as she does at Iowa.

Checking my travel calendar ...

 

[Bald Husky]

I wish Azzi wasn't playing

 

[Go/huskies]

I wish Azzi wasn't playing

I’m glad she is, will give everyone a chance to see the talent that’s about to join Paige next season.

 

[UConnCat]

Paige should be the PG starter if she does not have the surgery. Then UConn will have 3 starters ...

Paige is not eligible for the U-19 team.

Don’t you have to be 18 or under on January 1st. Paige turned 19 in October.

 

[Kaizen]

Don’t you have to be 18 or under on January 1st. Paige turned 19 in October.

But Caitlin Clark is 19 already , born January 22, 2002 .

I’m glad she is, will give everyone a chance to see the talent that’s about to join Paige next season.

So Uconn is going to go with only two players? For the record, I am 100% kidding, but for a legendary program built on the total team concept, I am continually amazed at the obsession of the individual with much of the fan base.

 

[Jibariqua]

But Caitlin Clark is 19 already , born January 22, 2002

If she turned 19 on Jan 22 she was 18 on January 1st
