The 24 players have already been selected. Isn't this rather early? Some teams are barely half way through their schedules.

Eight of the 24 players are from Texas. Baylor is getting the most players, four. Except for one player to Arizona and two to Georgia Tech, the rich stay rich.

Recruiting classes get rated based on numbers, but UConn's two (Olivia Nelson-Ododa , Christyn Williams ) were both starters on the 2016 U17 USA Basketball team. The other starters on that team:
* Janelle Bailey - playing for North Carolina this year
* Desta Henderson - chose South Carolina
* Maya Dodson - playing for Stanford this year

Sixth woman on the team Aquira DeCosta, chose Baylor.
Seventh player in the 2016 U17 rotation was Abby Prohaska, who was not chosen as a McDonald's all-American (only rated #80 overall at ESPN, #21 at her position )is going to go to Notre Dame.

And that team is Maryland, which (along with Rutgers) I still don't even consider a Big 10 team.


Found this article on Ali Patberg transferring from Notre Dame to Indiana. She will be the first ever female McDonald's All-American to play for Indiana.

The game will be televised on Wednesday, March 28, at 5:00 pm EDT on ESPN2.

As I've posted in the UConn thread, Olivia Nelson-Ododa was the only girl in the Powerade dunk contest and came in third, getting a perfect score on her first dunk.

I've reported on and given impressions of aspects of this game in the UConn thread.

As usual, it was very hard to keep my focus on whatever you call was going on.

And who was that annoying color person?

It was my first look at Prince, who surprised me w/ her skill at 6'7.

The color person was Brooke Weisbrod who has become another espn uber-yapping annoyance.

When she began her career, she at least spoke in normal conversational word volume and voice loudness.

I guess she was given an espn directive to dumb down and shrill shill her performance.

I was impressed with Sedona ! Also the syracuse recruit was really nice . Texas should have a field day in the post with Sedona , Charlie , Joyner, Chatrice and maybe Rellah still .
