Gabby is the only true pt guard I thought- with Chong,Ekmark, and Edwards, I thought these three were more shooters vs real pt guard material. Am I wrong? I did read where Sadie was really able to handle he ball under pressure also. And Calhoun is listed as a wing? Seams like it would be tough to land two feature wings in same yr?

Chong is certainly a very capable and willing distributor of the basketball - even tho she scores in bundles. And she has experience running the show for the offense on her HS team. Calhoun is definitely a wing. She has the length and strength to score all over the court and has very balanced skills from what I've seen and read.
 
We all know how the recruiting game goes. Geno usually pulls the right strings. I just like the way he recruits girls with the right attitude, and the will to win, and the desire to get better as people and bball players. How many players have we heard say the same thing, "I want to come to UCONN because Geno will make me the best I can be ". Kaleena, Ekmark, Stewie just to name a few.

Speaking of Courtney Ekmark, she is going to play AAU with Cal Swish. She wants to play with her good friend Katie Lou Samuelson, the # 2 player in 2015. I think Geno's friend Russ Davis still coaches Cal Swish.

I have heard great things about Westbeld. I have heard she plays like Kelly Faris, dives for loose balls and hates to lose ! Kelly Faris eh.... That's good enough for me !
GO UCONN GO !

He will be only 64 at the end of his contract. That is young in this day and age.

I can easily see another 5 yer contract. What will a person that competitive do in retirement?

Drink wine. Enjoy his grandkids. :)

Speeches, lectures. Go into stand up comedy.;)

Interesting that Ekmark is playing with Cal Swish. I will have to watch them this weekend. I had heard KLS wasnt playing club ball this summer.

Courtney Ekmark made her debut with Cal Swish this weekend.
I only saw Sundays game and she played very well, for someone who didnt practice with her teammates before the games.
For those in the Washington DC area that want to see her play, Cal Swish will be playing at the USJN tournament in late July.

The schedule will be out about 5 days before the events first day.

Thanks. I may still be in DC then. Or may have moved to San Diego.
 
Good goobly-goo. If we get all the recruits everyone wants we are going to have to make some changes. There is no way one ball and two baskets will be enough. First of all, we will need to add another couple baskets, play with two or and eight players to get everyone some playing time and places to score. We will have to put off lowering the rims for a few years until we work on these other issues.

She wasn't with Cal Swish today.
Look for her to try out and most likely make the USA U16 team that has tryouts next month in Colorado. The U16 team will be playing in the FIBA Americas tournament in Cancun Mexico in mid June. I dont know if those games can be viewed by college coaches. If someone knows please post.

Perhaps she comes back for the July viewing period?

Coaches can attend FIBA tournaments as long as their school is willing to pay for travel. It would certainly be refreshing if KLS does take the summer off from AAU ball. It's not like coaches don't know what she can do.

I thought I read somewhere she wants to be a guard and not a post player. Did my memory fail me?

Yes, but she needs to understand that will not give her the all skills development she needs for the future. It has been discussed in at least two other threads with good detail.
