I agree BabHorn, not only the Australians, but this being a World Championship year, many international players from other countries that are currently over here for college or about to go into their first year of college over here will be travelling to their respective countries to train with their national teams to get ready for Worlds in Thailand in July. They will be training during what is known as the off season here in US.
I I really do hope Celeste does get selected for the National team as well. It would be advantageous for our Texas program to have both our incoming guards whether they are from US, Australia or any other country competing at an international level. It will only make our program stronger and help prepare them for conference play.
dang, hadn't realized Celeste and her teammates were still playing. Guess I will have to watch the game after the Texas game.
An emotional post game interview with Celeste. All around a disappointing day for Longhorns, present and future. Celeste Taylor reflects on career with LuHi
looks like we will have a chance to see Celeste later this week at the McD game. 2019 McDonald's All American Game Girls Roster Okay, State Farm Arena has the games on the 27th, girls at 5 PM EST and guys at 7 PM EST. McDonalds All American Games | State Farm Arena
I know she isn’t likely to say anything negative but it’s still good to hear. Celeste’s coach at the MCDAA game, Archbishop Mitty HC Sue Phillips (Haley Jones’ high school coach):
Sound quality is pretty bad and the interviewer talks just as much as Celeste but still some good information...
Is it possible us’ns experts are wrong and she is better than originally thought? Those highlights look better.
Celeste made MaxPreps Top 50 of the 2018-2019 season. Not a recruiting ranking, based on production and impact on team. Celeste Taylor, Long Island Lutheran (Brookville, N.Y.) 5-11 | Senior | Guard | Texas Taylor has always been known for her superb defense, but she also averaged 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 4.0 steals a game against a very tough slate of opponents.
I didn't realize it but I guess Ashlee Hannan has already signed her letter of intent papers. Appears we are all set with our 3 commits for 2019. Unless we get a Grad transfer in the mix? Not sure if there are any worth picking up this year? Women's Basketball signs two standouts for 2019-20 - University of Texas Athletics
Yeah. Ashlee signed during the fall period in November. Isabel (Issy) didn’t commit until after that signing window closed. I’d like to see a couple of transfers in, grads preferred, especially a SG and a post player, but you’re right, I’m not sure there’s a difference maker at either of those spots that Texas would have an in with.
No surprise - Celeste was 1 of the 30 players invited to the U19 tryouts for Team USA that will play in the U19 World Cup in Thailand in July. Karen Aston is a member of the selection committee.
