USAB U17 team has begun preparations for World Cup

[Golden Husky]

I can't field a team with 3 players, so I'll take 5 with one coming off the bench.

Recruits, my man, recruits. What's UConn's largest recruiting class?

FIBA U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup 2018

Groups: Groups of the FIBA U17 Women’s Basketball World Cup 2018

USA group contains both China and Italy.

China based on last years U16 Team which finished 3rd in the Fiba Asian Championships will probably have some size in their lineup.

Starters: Bueckers, Fudd, Horston, Jones and Boston. Those names look very familiar.

Was or is Sam hurt? She certainly was underwhelming this game with 3 rebounds and a block in 13:35.

No. She and Brink seemed to be the last 2 off the bench.

Well, it's still early, but it is kind of telling, isn't it?

No. She and Brink seemed to be the last 2 off the bench.

Fran Belibi seemed to be in that group, too (minute-wise), although she made the most of them point- and rebounding-wise. Looks like Coach B. was very much going with a small(er) lineup, with Ms. Boston, Haley Jones and the multi-faceted Ms. Horston.

Thanks for calling to our attention.

How does Fudd not have 10+ points?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Didn't see the game, but those are some nifty lines for Boston, Bueckers, and Brink. And even when their shots aren't falling Horston and Jones make plays.

 

[MilfordHusky]

How does Fudd not have 10+ points?

Ok, she took only 6 shots, tied for 6th most on the team. But she shot 66.7%.

 

[Charliebball]

some fun questions:

 

[Carnac]

I want her on our team!!!!

 

[JordyG]

I want her on our team!!!!

She stinks! She should have dunked with her feet.

(Has this playa signed her LOI yet?)

If she and Amihere come to Storrs UConn will have 3 who can play above the rim.

Verbal to Stanford. Geno was curious but may have thought that Fran is too raw. I expect she'll dunk at the Farm. Most athletic player there since Chiney. Or ever?

Her three other finalists, as I understand it, were Harvard, Princeton and Notre Dame. As much I as admire my alma mater, we were off the podium on the U.S. News and World Report rankings, which does not happen too often .

Nonetheless, Ms. Belibi did take an official visit to ND in April.

Think she's made huge strides in a very short time and expect her to do well with Tara. Best of luck to her!
