There was a midday cut to 88 and then a later one to 64. They appear to not be providing any write-ups about it, so I guess you can just look at the latest roster here:

The roster is now down to 37. It sounds like they will not make the cut down to 12 until some time after the tryouts. |

How did Nyah Green not make the team? This is always bs surrounding this u16 team . She is a 6'1 scorer at all 3 level. Good defender. Plays at high level high school /high level aau /work on craft. She plays multiple position.

A question. This team will play in the FIBA America tournament this summer. Will there be a FIBA world U16 championship next summer and if so, won't many of these players be ineligible due to their age in 2018?

I was very surprised Green didn't make the final 18. I thought she was a lock for the final 12, really.
If anyone has any questions about any other players at the Trials, now would be the time to ask before my rapidly decaying mental faculties lose touch with the event ...

Thanks. I looked it up and The same thing happened last year when the U18 team competed in the FIBA America's. They held a new tryout this year for the U19 team so I assume next year there will be another round of tryouts for the U17 world championships.

Any thoughts on Cameron Brink, is she the next Stewart?
Also any thoughts on Katelyn Levings, is she anything like Brink? Do you think she'll be an impact college player ? Or more of a mid major kid? |

She looked OK, but lacked the quickness of the ones who made it. She can shoot pretty well, but really didn't do anything else that stood out.

I confess I am biased towards Brink, who I saw when we played her high school team last year. I think she is going to be a great player, but she's different than Stewart. First, she's 6-4 and slender, and that's an issue for her right now, but she told me she not only likes contact, she loves it, and I believe her. If that continues, she will be an elite player.
Her biggest strength, skill-wise, is shot-blocking. She has the knack, she's tall, long and jumps well, and she blocked/altered many shots during the trials.
She is also exceptionally athletic for her size, and a good passer and dribbler.
She tended to kick the ball back out to the wing after an entry pass a little too quickly, I thought, but she is just a freshman in high school.
I think she's going to be a star.
Katelyn Levings did not make an impression on me, really. She was pretty good but didn't really grab my attention. That said, she was effective at times, and clearly should be a solid Power 5 player.

Azzi Fudd is one of the most exciting prospects in the 2021 class. Maybe any class.
The most anticipated young prospect in recent memory, here's what you need to know about Fudd: She has the "it" factor in her game. Twelve players from the 2021 class attended trials; one remains. |
|
Fudd is the real deal and probably will start at point (she made the final 12).
Cameron Brink was cut, a huge surprise to me, and no California girls made the team either.
In fact, no players west of the Rockies are in the final 12.

I thanks for the insight Clay, I hope Levings will stay home and play for Oklahoma, tall forwards with her skill set don't come around often. I was surprised Brink didn't make the final team, I think she'll be an impact player. |
