Yeah, Gisella Maul was one of the (local) players who I thought our coaching staff would pursue. But, it sure seems like our 2023 scholarships are going to be tight, with one already accounted for with 6'9 Abbie Boutilier.
I believe Gisella was (maybe still is) part of the Cy-Fair club program that Moore and Hunter played in; so, she has relationships with several of our team.
By my count, 2023 scholarship players are:
Super Senior: Matharu (not a given she'd return)
Seniors: Kobe, Femme, Gaston, Holle, Chevalier
Juniors: Hunter, Harmon, Moore, Lattimore
Soph: Codio, Ndjakalenga, Muhammad (and possibly Maggie Mendelson)
Freshman: Boutilier
So remaining 'ships (at the moment) range from 0 to 2 by my count.
As talented as Maul is, she might not be a priority (based on need). Have to assume our coaching staff will be very selective on who they offer early. I would bet we offered Breya Cunningham already; we already offered 6'1 Madison Booker (MS) and PG Hannah Hidalgo (NJ). Sammie Wagner could be another.
As much as I'd like to add Maul to our roster, I'm not seeing the numbers working out in her favor. It's good that she is another "long" wing who appears versatile enough to play both SG & SF; but, we're stacked there already.
And, there's always a chance an elite transfer comes in and takes one of those 'ships.
