WBB: Landmark Conference

[ronk]

 Don't remember Sabrina Kraker from AAU. Looks like she played on same AAU team as Tara Murphy and I did watch Tara play a few times.
 There was another that was said to be a commit but I never saw her confirm that on social media and her intentions remain unknown at this point.

I haven't seen any video but her stats from this year (10 RPG, 3.1 SPG, 3.8 BPG) indicate a strong defensive presence that Ben likes (and I do, too!).  One question: is she 5'11" as listed on Twitter or 5'9" as listed in the press release?  That's a big difference in how she can be utilized at the college level.

Just watched the NDA vs. Hill game from Dec.
This young lady will be just fine.
Many similarities to Maddy Ryan...just add a 3 pt. shot.
Going to say closer to 5'9" only based on how I saw her trying to stay with Murphy & Hill's other big.

I knew about her(Kraker Inside person told me to keep it low profile) Yes 14.2 pts per game 10 rebounds not bad double double player.I thought after Murphy and Coleman made there school choices. I thought we had 6 coming in but not sure what happened to Emily?I know she plays softball also.

What is Coleman's school choice?

[Augie2020]

Not sure the school ,but was told D2.

[Augie2020]

Ronk no Atlantic city this week?

[ronk]

No AC is a little too far; I'll look at other evaluators' reports that are in AC; will be going back to Spooky Nook next month and then a major high school tourney the following week in Frederick,MD.

 Graduation today @ Scranton: Honorary degree for Joe Vaszily '95, former Trustee and referee in D1's women's basketball final this year(Caitlin Clark game) and multiple times in previous years.
  With the 5 incoming WBB choosing majors in the business school, it's an ironic juxtaposition to Joe who gave up his Wall Street career in being the #1 official in women's college basketball.

Maybe she's waiting til softball is over to see if she gets a satisfactory scholarship offer.

[saratoga]

Very few D-1 or II schools have "scholarship" dollars left at this point.
Softball, which gets a far smaller piece of the athletic dollar pie, needs to identify their kids early & get them signed in the fall of their senior year.
If you're still waiting, that boat may have already sailed.

If money is no object, then kids can wait as long as they want to make their call.
However, once you start throwing out the "S" word, that dynamic and the implications change.
Perhaps a school has some textbook money left they can offer but as for tuition, R&Bd...not so much.

[Augie2020]

Ronk maybe she will be playing softball at the U instead.She is a pretty damn good softball player also.I know  the coaches don't  like you playing two sports.I will find out more.

[saratoga]

My hunch is that with her ACL tear a few years back & this past year coming back from all the rehab, maybe she just wants a break.
Or, as Augie states...perhaps she's going to just concentrate on softball.
Regardless...I wish her well.
The physical, mental, & emotional challenges of months & months of rehabbing that injury leaves kids with lots of free time to think of all the options that will one day be before them again.
Maybe basketball at Scranton just wasn't one of them.

[ronk]

Not sure the school ,but was told D2.

Turns out, it's Immaculata. Guess the "commit" to Scranton was a misunderstanding. 

[saratoga]

 Woodward & Bernstein would be disappointed.
