(2026 IUWBB) - (PG/SG) Ashlinn James to INDIANA

[CSP]

Wonder why she transferred to Assumption

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Ashlinn's season ended with a Sweet Sixteen 48-43 loss to George Rogers Clark.  In that game she had 20p and 2r.  She was 9-14 FG,  1-4 on 3s,  1-1 FT.

25 games in 25-26:  14.6p,  4.7r      43% FG,  27% on 3s,  68% FT

26 games in 24-25:  2.2p,  4.7r       46% FG,  41% on3s,   70% FT.

The source for Kentucky boys and girls high school stats is really great except for 2 things.  1) they don't record assists, steals, blocks or turnovers; and 2), the gentleman who maintains the site has health issues and will no longer be be able to maintain the site after June 30.  Certainly hopeful someone will step up and keep it going.

This was submitted by her coach at Assumption. Having seen her play I can say in my opinion we're in good shape at point for the next few years.

I agree.  She can PLAY.  But I'm not sure point is our problem. 
We only have one big returning, and she's injury prone.  Hopefully we can find some relief there.  I don't follow recruits like you all do, so hopefully we will somehow have a big girl with potential coming in.

Agree—Caffey is a long term solution at the point.

As for bigs, I believe that Noyan is also returning. And while she’s not an impact big, she improved a ton over the season and would be a valuable asset for a team that didn’t need to start her.

I totally agree about the need for a big.

I was just expressing my thought that at lead guard with Caffey and James we are in good shape.

Injury could come in to play and we're covered there.I could see them on the floor together some too.

We definitely don't have that luxury at the 5 yet.
