Message: [QUOTE="tennparker3, post: 2213983, member: 2989"] Some of the "men" involved in big roles with recruits these days spend more time attacking/belittling each other in defense of their egos versus actually promoting the girls that are making them money off of claiming to be recruiting and talent experts. With that said, there is a lot of truth to the politics at play with USAB. However, the 18 players left are all great selections. My only surprises are Nyah Green, Te-Hina Paopao and Rickea Jackson omissions. With Nyah and Rickea a logical argument can be made for their omissions because there is a lot of talent at the wing positions. But there is not a lot of pure point guards nor is there depth at the 5 spot (although Boston, Brink and Baldwin are all outstanding prospects). The lack of depth at point guard made it all the more confusing that they chose a number of combo guards over some of the few quality point guards like Paopao or Deja Kelly. To be fair though Zia Cooke will lead this team at the point guard spot and I think it has been unanimously agreed upon that she dominated the trials and Paige Bueckers along with Jordan Horston will probably the back up point guards. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but the youngest player, Azzi Fudd, is named after Jennifer Azzi. She is a 2021 but is definitely a player to keep an eye on. Early interest from a large number of major programs. [/QUOTE]
