6 footers...nice!

This was an odd article because there seems to be one missing from what I've read, unless something changed between March and now.  (possible)

Congrats to Carrie Snikkers, great opportunity.

First and foremost, congratulations to her.  I applaud and send well wishes to anyone who pursues a dream.

Secondly, will it be Morehouse's fault if Carrie's Euro-team doesn't win their league championship?

The article reads that the coaches of these three told the Senile that they were coming to Hope.  Ergo, this does not necessarily mean that these three are the only players coming to Hope

[Panoply]

Agreed.  I understand there are others coming in including another 6 footer not mentioned in the article.

The following video appeared on the Dutch Facepage postings yesterday..  It is captioned "Team Camp - Hope College Freshmen [HQ]

I don't understand exactly what this means, but there are some pretty tall young ladies involved.  Does anyone know if these are incoming fresh(wo)men this fall?

I believe those are indeed some of the incoming freshmen.

One of the young ladies mentioned in the article was a 2nd team selection in her league.  In the bios for the players their was a first team member who mentioned she would be attending Hope, but her name didn't appear in the Sentinel article.

Sounds liek a very promising recruit for Hope.  Coach Mo sure loves those post players who can play inside and out!!

[realist]

I don't know of any coach that wouldn't like their post player to have an outside game, however not many want to see a post player taking 95 3 point shots in a season.  On second thought it probably is few coaches have enough talent to allow a post player that freedom.

[KnightSlappy]

Interesting fact from last year's stats:

Carrie Snikkers' effective FG% on 3-pointers: .584
Carrie Snikkers' FG% on 2-pointers: .582

I would have to imagine that she drew many more fouls on her 2-pt attempts, so she was probably a more effective scorer in the post.

Still, I'm sure Carrie had the green light from any spot on the floor.

Coaches want to maximize their scoring. Hope didn't lose much offense at all when Carrie shot the three, so it was OK to use her to stretch the defense often.

Carissa, on the other hand, shoots well enough from three (.361 last year, .542 eFG% from three), but she's so good in the paint (.619 FG% from two) that it's probably not wise to have her shoot from long range as part of your offensive strategy. There's a bigger opportunity cost here.

In her final game for Hope versus Wash U. CS was 3-9 on 3 point attempts.
Perhaps that coach figured out it was better to let CS fire it up from outside as opposed to having to deal with her inside.  It is one thing to take advantage of a mismatch etc., and quite another to allow the opposing team to dictate play.

She was 3-9 on 3-pt attempts and 6-13 on 2-pt attempts.

That's 1 pt. per three point shot, but only 0.92 points per two point shot.
