USA Basketball U23 team.

USA basketball has this new U23 team drawing only on college freshman - juniors and competing in Tokyo this August. Because of the Italy trip I suspect no Uconn players will try out for the teams (Canada is also part of the competition with Australia and Japan.)

The U19 competition is a little earlier at the end of July so perhaps some of the incoming players might be trying out for that.

Also hadn't realized Jen is now the chair of the USA Basketball Women’s Junior National Team Committee - they select the coaches for all the youth teams including the U23.

Jeff Walz is the HC. This seems like a position Staley would've gotten had Geno still been the HC of the NT (recently, she would typically be the HC of the USA teams right below the NT). Is Walz next in line to succeed Staley as HC of the Women's National Team? Hmmmmm...
