Sedona Prince has transferred from Faith Christian back to Liberty Hill. We really need her to re-commit. Not sure what our plans are for recruiting true centers in 2017, but not signing one in 2016 leaves me scratching my head (unless Hattis, Aborowa, or the Goudreau twins will be backing up Lang at Center).
I agree. I would like to see her recommit. Based on last season and the few practices I have seen this year, our posts are interchangeable. While Imani and Kelsey are listed as Cs and the rest as Fs, the main difference has been how far away from the basket they get. All play the high low with everyone switching depending on how the play is progressing. Right now, Mide has offensive skills more suited to playing closer to the basket like Imani and Kelsey. It wouldn't surprise me to see Mide be Kelsey's main backup next season although it is likely that we will also see, for example Jordan and Joyner in the post, neither of which a true C.
Keep an eye on the name Queen Egbo. The 6'2 post player at Fort Bend Travis is a rebounding machine. Averaged a double-double last season as a freshman.
I would be surprised if Tatum isn't #1 on Coach Aston's PG list for the class 2018 (which should definitely include a point). She camped at Texas and seemed to hit it off with Alecia: She's also taken visits Tennessee and Aggy.
If Texas doesn't sign a PG in 2017, then the depth chart would require a PG for 2018. These days, though, some freshman choose a school based on their chances of starting from day one; others have different priorities. I know we've shown interest (as has everyone else) in Arkansas PG Christyne Williams; perhaps she will attend our game at UALR in person . . .
No one talks about 2018 commit Shae Routt much, but she seems to be showing out! I've seen her at a couple of our home games. She was sitting with Sedona Prince for the Miss. State game. "
You're absolutely right. And I think it's great that she's going where she has always wanted to go, and playing for the same school her mom did will be a great thing.
video of Tatum. couldn't imbed as a direct video. http://www.newschannel6now.com/clip/12111560/vernon-girls-at-6-windthorst
Statesman article about Texas commit, Shae Routt. http://www.mystatesman.com/news/spo...-stand-tall-among-areas-top-girls-play/np4ht/
ESPN article on Duncanville's Zarielle Green with Joyner Holmes talking about her. http://espn.go.com/espnw/news-comme.../how-sophomore-zarielle-green-wowing-weakness
Good article - was sad to see Texas not in her Top 5 (currently - a lot of time left). They may be targeting Veitenheimer but you gotta love a 6' 0" G.
yeah, disappointed Texas was not among her favorites but, as you say, it's early. No reason why we couldn't take both Tatum and Zay and Sedona. We should have five ships available for 2018.
I really want Queen Egbo to be part of our 2018 signing class: The 23-6A girls race looks a bit different after last week, with Travis defeating Hightower and Austin to move into second place. The Lady Tigers earned their biggest win of the season Jan. 19, defeating Hightower 63-51 to hand the Lady Hurricanes their first league loss. Queen Egbo dominated inside with 20 points, 27 rebounds and 11 blocks http://www.yourhoustonnews.com/fort...cle_d6dcb732-c2cc-11e5-9582-5bae9b3c62b3.html
love the name: Queen Egbo. a link to last summer evals. I really want Tatum to come to Texas. Hope having Heather as her coach gives us a leg up. http://premierbasketballreport.com/news/super-64-national-championship-player-highlights Looks like Tech got a very good post in Brittany Brewer.
27 rebounds in one game tells me she is just a natural rebounder who gives maximum effort and is relentless.
