So interesting to hear him say ONO was miles ahead of the other posts in "compete level" in the U17 two years ago. The other posts included Janelle Bailey who has had a terrific freshmen year for North Carolina, and Charli Collier.
Did not realize that Geno actually watched this tournament in person though it was Chris Dailey only. There was so much going on sourrounding this tournamnet:
Sedona Prince was also in the post during that tournament and still considering UCONN at the time (July) she would later ( Sept.) recommit to Texas.
Ezi Magbegor of course was the tournament MVP and that would have been Geno's first sighting.
That tournament also briefly moved ONO to number 1 in the class but......
Charli Collier and Samantha B. were also on the team and played mostly a reserve roles & of course Collier would commit to UCONN (Nov) and change her mind 10 months later.
Maya Dotson still had UCONN in consideration played a good tournament and would later (Oct) commit to Stanford.
Aquira DeCosta was a pogo stick jumping, rebounding, layup missing machine.
Destanni Henderson had her moments as a scorer but left a lot of room for improvement as a floor general and facilitator.
Christyn Williams did not have an outstanding tournament but she ended up being 2nd on the team in scoring.
Jenna Brown went into the tournament a ND commit and repoened her recruiting for exactly 2 weeks after the tournament to eventually sign with Stanford meanwhile...
Jenna's teammate
Abby Prohaska quick to recognize an opportunity with the new opening at ND verbally committed to ND in Nov.
Izabela Nicoletti played for Brazil during this tournament going into the tournament she was considered a top guard prospect. When Brazil played the US she was held in check going 0 for 9 on 3pt FG attempts a year later she would committ to FSU.
