Players can transfer at any time.
Once all the paperwork is in order!
Waiters? I'm still a busboy
Thanks...enjoy the give and take, and breadth of interest in all things WBB here on the 'yard. Also a loyal member of McGraw's Bench, but sometimes we're "talking to the converted," if you know what I mean. Good to go out and test your opinions elsewhere...not to mention learn some new things.
Glad you got out to the Bend and enjoyed it. I'll be out there in September to see Duke...I'll have to talk waiting with the Dookies that come
While no one appreciates snark towards Tennessee as much as I do, I would rather not involve the kids whose only crime is choosing to play for the LVs. Besides, she appears to be a pretty good player, regardless of conference. Heck, last year the UConn men had a 5th year senior from that basketball power Cornell and he was the best player on the team.
Intriguing that you saw Faith Masonius as inside player when one writeup touted her PG skills. That is quite the combination of skills.Charlie -- do you mean high school bigs? If so, I can understand what you mean. I have not seen that many folks like Ms. Wilson or even Ms. Turner ready to step into a prime-time role. But what's that adage, takes awhile for a tall person to grow into those long limbs? Seems like there's some truth to that because a lot of the bigs I hear mentioned all seem to have the word "developing" and "upside." But that's better than "reached her ceiling!"
Personally, the one true "big" I've seen in New Jersey this year was Raven Farley-Clark, the 6'4" post who has been at several high schools but had a good year with Queen of Peace. She has good hands (didn't see her drop anything), blocks shots well (keeps the ball in court), has a pretty nice jumper from 10 feet and in, shot free throws well (and when under pressure late in games) and has a fairly nice little "swoop" hook, a la Ms. Turner. She's class of 2017. Pretty highly rated in the services, but have not heard her associated with any particular school...could be because she bounces from High School to High School and apparently just changed her AAU Team.
Also saw Kimi Evans, a 6'3" post for St. John's Vianney, the ultimate NJ State Champion. She was the third or even fourth offensive option on a senior-laden team (she's also a 2017er). But she knows what she's doing and has a nice touch. Not sure if she's a UConn-ND player, but a D1er, for sure....
The other "bigs" I saw were 6'0" wings who were playing inside for HS: Faith Masonius, the super frosh from Manasquan, who has an assortment of McHale-like up and unders, but can drill the mid-range jumper; and, Lucy Thomas - a sophomore -- another 6 footer, but playing for St. Rose. She was injured but she's kind of an inside-outside tweener now. But she knows how to score and rebound, so she'll get better.
That's what I got on the "from my eyes in the gym" only.....

We'll see how things go next year with so many seniors graduating..wonder if there's anyone in the pipeline there.
Agree with you on AA and MS...distribute first, then look to score. She was very cool customer when I saw her. Sidor spends energy on the defensive press as well so it was not as if AA was just dribbling up-court by herself. You and I have touched base on the MS Travelling Road Show!
Did your daughter play at Boo Williams? If so, how'd things go?
Closer? It's only like a 5 hr drive away????
