Interesting list, especially no Baylor (Mom's alma mater) for Justice. As far as I know, she has only taken unofficial visits to two of her finalists -- Texas and LSU. So, including Arizona, UConn, and South Carolina in her Top 5 without having visited them (I think) is a win for those schools.

UConn makes Justice Carlton’s Top 5!

I believe her best fit would be Texas or Arizona and possibly LSU. For her size, mobility, and skill set, the competition for PT at SC and UConn would be difficult IMO.

The USABJNT Twitter has a short video scanning a picture of the participants. I can't link it but after watching it several times, the Big O isn't in there. And I can't see Fisher either.

I believe Fisher is 2nd row, next to #40 with Lauren Hassell on her other side. Her number is obscured.

I don't see Vukosa either.

Yes, I see her now. I was expecting the multi-colored hair from the last video I saw.

Not really, she probably will end up at either of the ones she has already taken a visit to. Why not add top programs to your list of five just for fluff. They all want her but if I knew I was going to Texas and wanted to put out a top five, the other four would be the who’s who. Doesn’t have the feel of someone who is picking UConn, but hey anything’s possible. Her game looks kinda similar to Ice. Ice looks better though. We will take her but dont really need her. We want Strong.

I have a feeling that Olivia Vukosa has a left knee injury. I looked at last weekend's matches in Dallas, where the EYBL session II was being held for her. I wanted to see for the final, but it's not easy to find my way around, as the videos are all fragmented by just a few minutes. I did, however, find the semi-final, which I've attached, the game starts at 9:11:25 and she's not in the starting line-up, at 9:15:40 first time-out, we see her with a taping on her left knee, without her basketball shoes. The first attachment is a tweet from Philly Rise celebrating last weekend's U16 and U17 tournament wins, where we see her with the taping on her left knee. This means that if she can't play at selection camp, she won't make the team. This happened last year with KK Arnold (concussion) and Olivia Olson (ankle) at last year's U17 selection.

For those wondering about Vukosa. Doesn’t mention an injury.


NOTE: There were 30 BlueStar30s invited to the trials with Sanai Green (VA), Keeley Parks (OK) and Olivia Vukosa (NY) last minute subtractions.

Just did a little digging.

Followed by Coach Valley on Instagram: Andrews, Bjorn, Douglas, Edwards, Garcia and Jones.

Excellent. Have trouble getting those follows without an IG account.

Jones is elite. Andrews & Edwards appear to be elite.

Douglas appears to be elite and very, very young.

Bjorn getting lots of accolades in these trials.

Garcia's a new name to me.
 
Here's Mike Flynn's take on the U16 trials:

The top four players here Jerzy Robinson, Oliviyah Edwards, Jacy Abii and Trinity Jones are without question will be the core of this team now and next year when they compete for the U17 FIBA Worlds July 13-21 next year in Mexico.

Another Flynn take on the U16. He was impressed with Kelis Fisher, mentioning her twice.
