Mike Flynn Tweet
Halfway through last #USAB #usabwu16 session & tough defense is preventing most from making jump shots. Mostly nside play or drives. Hard for many to create roster spot separation. #RoughChoices to 18. @BlueStarMedia1 @BlueStar30_

Saylor getting lots of love this weekend:

Interesting that they would not have interest in Verhulst. Seems to be the best off-guard at the trials, and they have interest in so many of the top players, so it isn’t like they are being selective.

Maybe due to already having PB and NM added to their interest in Miles and Fudd, Verhulst would be on the back burner. Just speculating.

I think that is exactly why.

Certainly makes sense, I was just curious in respect to Bigby, Kampschroeder, Poffenbarger, etc.

Eighteen Finalists Announced for USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team

After four days of trials that began on May 23 with 146 athletes, 18 finalists were announced for the USA Women’s U16 National Team.

A more in depth article.

12 of the 18 are known UConn POI:

DeBerry, Barker, Jones, Miles, Betts, Hollingshead, Poffenbarger, Rice, Bransford, Gardiner, Citron, Moore

The only ones among the last 48 who didn't make it are Destiny Adams, Taylor Bigby, and Judea Watkins, the latter of whom is probably 13 years old but made her mark in a big way. Bigby and Adams were both lauded significantly as well.

Pretty good group.

With the USA so dominant, I doubt FIBA would give us any advantages such as venue


Also, I would guess the kids enjoy the travel and the exotic feel of these events. As long as the living conditions and arena's are suitable.
