The first posted by @HuskyNan came directly from USC's roster page. The request was for k9 to be smiling and that's what he got! I added her in a UConn uniform because I thought it would be more fitting. And, yes I used Photoshop to accomplish this task.

Three notable absences
When I saw the latest invitations for the U19 camp in preparation for this summer's World Cup, I was delighted to see Kayleigh Heckel's name. However, I would have liked to have seen her with Sarah Strong, and I also noticed that two other top-quality players were also absent: Kennedy Smyth and Joyce Edwards.

IMO, Strong was probably invited and declined based on the HC being Moren. The same coach who played her limited minutes despite her being the best all around player on the team at last year’s U18 Americup. If so, I like the decision.
Probably the case with Sarah strong. Maybe Azzi too?

No way Azzi is under 19. Sarah's age...???
I don't know the details in each case but in general I think that turning down
USA team invitations may lead to no more invitations.
Just checked Sarah's age: Born February 3 2006...so she is 19.

I realize that it's an honor to be invited and to participate, however I am rather surprised Kayleigh would actually accept the invitation. I would have thought the wiser thing to do would be to work on getting to know all of Geno's systems inside and out, and playing with your new teammates as much as possible before November rolls around.

I'm not worried about Strong getting blackballed. USA BB operates under an umbrella and the Managing Director of that umbrella now is Sue Bird.

UCONN will there when what for many is a once in a lifetime event. Unless something strange happens, when has it become a bad thing to play for and support your country? I know you have tempered your post with "I know it's an honor " statement. To me that says it all. It is an honor and more, If Geno had a problem with K9 going to USA camp I'm sure he would have said something, after all Geno went to USA camp for a number of years himself. Good luck Kayleigh, hope you enjoy your experience. Stay healthy, have fun.
We were talking about the americup when we mentioned Sarah strong and Azzi fudd. Not the under 19 event.
