Random IUWBB Recruiting

Recommended Posts

http://www.hoosiersportsreport.com/2016/10/iuwbb-nine-2018-recruits-expected-at-hoosier-hysteria/

Indiana currently has no verbal commitments for the 2018 class, but nine ’18 prospects are expected to be in attendance for Hoosier Hysteria this weekend.

Headlining that group is Ashley Joens, a 5-foot-9 guard from Iowa City, Iowa. She is considered the No. 16 prospect in the ’18 class by ESPN. Abby Prohaska, a 5-8 guard from Ohio selected for the USA U-17 team, is also expected to be at Saturday’s event. So too is 5-10 guard Grace Berger, ranked as the No. 46 recruit in ’18.

Berger, like ’17 commit Jaelynn Penn, is from Louisville, Ky. Penn will be joined by fellow ’17 verbal commit Linsey Marchese at the event. Though IU’s current ’17 class includes two other verbals — Keyanna Warthen (Fla.) and Alexis Johnson (Tex.) — Marchese and Penn are the only ’17 recruits expected to be at Assembly Hall on Saturday.

IU is also expected to host recruits from the ’19 and ’20 classes, as well as a couple of ’21 prospects. One name worth highlighting is Warren Central point guard Shaila Beeler, tabbed as a five-star prospect and No. 14 overall in ’19 by ESPN. Another big in-state attendee is ’20 recruit Sydney Parrish, who is a freshman at Hamilton Southeastern.

Along with Azzi Fudd, a ’21 prospect from Fairfax, Va., eighth-grader Ari Wiggins, from Heritage Christian Middle School in Indianapolis, is scheduled to be at Hoosier Hysteria.

Other names expected at Assembly Hall: Jayla Everett (2018), Akira Levy (2018), Chanel Wilson (2018), Amaya Stovall (2018), Jenasae Bishop (2018), Amari Davidson (2018), Rickie Woltman (2019), Amaya Hamilton (2019), Laya Hartman (2019).

"She has a chance to be special," Eastside coach Ray Lyde Jr. said of Aquino, who is averaging 17 points, 12 rebounds and 6.5 blocks. "She has the work ethic; she wants to be great. She will work out several times a day if you let her."

Aquino, who wants to study business in college. So far, USC, Colorado, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Rutgers, North Carolina, Indiana, Oregon State, Dayton and Eastern Michigan are leading the recruiting charge. A year of prep school next year is a possibility.

Thirty-Five Athletes Accept Invitations To 2017 USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team Trials

Date:  Apr 25, 2017

The roster of athletes who accepted invitations to attend the 2017 USA Basketball Women’s U16 National Team Trials features 35 of the nation’s top players from the high school classes of 2019 and 2020, including 2016 USA Basketball Women’s U17 World Championship Team bronze medalist Samantha Brunelle(William Monroe H.S./Ruckersville, Va.) and 2016 USA U17 finalist Aliyah Boston (Worcester Academy/Worcester, Mass). The USA Basketball Women’s Developmental National Team Committee issued the invitations.

Trials to determine finalists for the 2017 USA Women’s U16 National Team will take place May 25-29 at the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Players eligible for this team must be U.S. citizens born on or after Jan. 1, 2001. 

In addition to the 35 invited athletes, the trials also will feature as many as 115 applicant athletes, and the complete trials roster is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

“We are excited to welcome back many athletes who have been to trials before, and to get to know the players who will be new to USA Basketball,” said Carol Callan, USA Basketball Women’s National Team director and chair of the USA Basketball Women’s Developmental National Team Committee. “This is the first time we will have a player return to a U16 trials after having won a U17 medal and the first time we will have a U17 finalist returning to U16 trials. Taking all of that into account, we look forward to seeing the level of competition at trials continue to become stronger, as it has done in each of the five events in which we have had applicant athletes alongside invited athletes.”

The USA will compete in the 2017 FIBA Americas U16 Championship from June 7-11 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where it will be in the hunt for a gold medal as well as a berth into the 2018 FIBA U17 World Cup, which is awarded to the top four finishing teams.
