Scotter I would say it slightly different. "If A'ja wants to only play on the perimeter..."

I think KN has Olympic aspirations in a big way. Who better to prepare you for that level of competition than the past and present USA Olympic coach and a slew of uconn players with Olympic experience and success. Uconn has proven over and over that they will help you reach your greatest potential if you let them. Come and enjoy the ride Kia Nurse!

We might be at the end of our Breanna run and the beginning of our Kia/h run.

Ha. So you are happy if a Nurse comes to UConn. I'm shocked.

That "other" fan always looks for the dark cloud for Uconn in any situation.

If its true, yay!
However, I can see why she would wait! Dont we play Penn State on Sunday?
Maybe she is waiting out of respect to the PSU staff??
At any rate I am sure Kia will make the right choice and have a great college career.

No need to waste everyone's time with programs she's not interested in. Makes sense.

I know. I was just tweaking them. My brother can't stand them either. But he hates them far more than I do.

It's always a good idea to have a nurse on board. If nothing else, nurses save lives.

Oh, so punny...!
I think the comparison by a Canadian recruiting site is that she is comparable to Wiggins because she is an elite US college bound prospect who also happens to be Canadian (Wiggins is Canadian as well).
Regardless, it would be a great get if the case...

Recruiting source says @KayNurse11 will attend Sunday's game between #UConnwomen and Penn State and those are here final two
John Altavilla @jaltavilla 6m
Source says there is no way to tell whether a commitment to either school is coming after the game. #UConnwomen
John Altavilla @jaltavilla 5m
All other recruiting trips for @KayNurse11 apparently are off. So Sunday may be it for her #UConnwomen

Interesting. I wonder where the the toronto-based site got its information that she committed to UConn.
I'm not sure Penn State has signed any 2014 recruits after signing a large 2013. Nurse would face less competition for playing time at Penn State but there's just no comparison when it comes to coaching and teammate talent.
They should not make a veteran wait like that!At 1;37 p.m. today (less than an hour ago), I posted that "I expect an announcement momentarily." What took them so long?

One way to assess Kia is how she did on the Canadian team relative to a player we are more familiar with: Natalie Achonwa. Because they play different positions, it's not a perfect measure, obviously. But I think Kia's performance and stats were at least comparable to Natalie's. And she's 4 years younger. She sounds damn good to me. And has very athletic genes.

I was thinking the same thing. She's a starter on the Canadian National Team, as a junior/senior in high school. Granted Canada does not have near the talent of the US National Team (or even Australia or Russia), but that's damn impressive for sure. Silky smooth jumper, hard nosed defender... what's not to love?

Ha. Of course I know PN's 2014 rankings well.
But the prospect card on Nurse was something new to me - thanks.

In other words, a top 15 recruit... I'm not sure you can really count the 156 nor the "not ranked"...

I don't make subjective decisions about how to evaluate the various rankings. They are what they are, and I treat them equally.

No one's asking you to make a subjective decision. But when you have one service who apparently didn't rank her because she's from Canada, and another who for whatever reason has a whacked ranking for her, it will taint your results the opposite way. You use what you want for your "rankings". I will make one that puts her as #1 and that will be more accurate than a composite that includes two outliers that are not valid.
The same goes for teams who land JUCO transfers. Some of them end up being terrific (Danielle Adams), but if you "don't count them" in your rankings because they weren't on the list of the normal services, then your list is tainted.
So my point is when you come up with some kind of composite for her as the 77th ranked player in her class because you have her as 150 + over 200 + 11 + 11 + 14, all divided by 5, then it makes your list kinda pointless.

"another who for whatever reason has a whacked ranking for her".
Subjective.
I put in a tremendous of personal time to track all the services as best I can, create a fair system, and update it on nearly a daily basis. You dont like it? Make your own damn rankings.
