Propect Nation now has Shook at #43 and Hoopgurlz #49 so pretty close. <br /> Prospect Nation final ranking in 2014 --- Arianna Freeman at #51( I think they had her as low as #30 for a long time) and Sydney Brackemyre at #102. Hines-Allen #11, Moore #15 and Carter #62. <br /> Hoopgurlz final ranking did not include Freeman in top 100 <br /><br />Prospect Nation misses too.

ESPN cut their coverage of high school sports drastically two years ago. I've been told that they used to have multiple scouts on the women's side, and now they just have one. Prospects Nation is a better source.

S...Noticed Kylee Shook is rated #46 by Hoopgurlz. She wasn't ranked in the top 60 when we signed her. I got excited until I saw her grade at 92. The 2015 Hoopgurlz #46 was a 96. 2016 must be a subpar class. Samantha Feuhring is ranked #61 (2015) with a 95 grade. Hopefully Kylee has loads of upside and potential.<br />Here is very short evaluation of her below. I like that they say she is very mobile in uptemp game. We need that.<br /><br />USA Team Trials 2013-Colorado Springs; Long and agile low-post prospect with superb mobility in uptempo game; emerging interior game; shot blocking presence. (Olson)<br /> Shook is a major Division I talent. She was named to the Denver Post All-Colorado first team for Class 4A as a freshman in 2012-13.<br />Wadenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-17489522052954847342015-05-31T12:57:04.415-04:002015-05-31T12:57:04.415-04:00If she stays here she won't play. If she had ...If she stays here she won't play. If she had two years of eligibility it might be worth bringing her into a strong program but to transfer her in, wait a year and then only play for a year it doesn't make sense for most good D1 programs.<br /><br />I agree with the mid-major transfer strategy. She can play immediately and help any number of weak programs out there.<br /><br />I don't think Walz gives up much by keeping Megan in the program for her final year. They've got 15 total scholarships in D1 WBB. If she wants to play tho she's going to have to leave.BurnBrotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591664997592114722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-51577349668116411062015-05-31T08:50:01.336-04:002015-05-31T08:50:01.336-04:00So who is on scholarship as of now (not counting D...So who is on scholarship as of now (not counting Deines? Walton, Henderson, Brackemyer, Carter, Hines-Allen, Moore, DeGrate, Fuehring, Cole, Jones, Durr. <br /><br />Room for her to stay, obviously but the question is if she wants to work hard enough in the practices to earn the scholarship? It's easy to coast in and get that final year as a benchrider for some kids and benevolent coaches. . Walz wouldn't stand for that, probably. <br /><br />Blue LouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8945676324950180664.post-12179635221280511102015-05-31T08:41:20.131-04:002015-05-31T08:41:20.131-04:00Sixth best guard on the team if she comes back.

I am unsure how good of a outside shooter she was in high school but I believe she played in a smaller sized school within the state ie. AAA vs AA...<br /><br />The thing is. She was given the opportunity from her first game on campus as a freshman to keep substantial playing minutes every game. They were hers to keep rather than to earn coming off of the bench. <br /><br />She could not hot from the outside. As much as we wanted her to do so, she just could not do it. Yes, she hit a memorable shot here and there, but game after game, shot after shot, she could not hit the outside open ball and that will earn you a place on the bench, no matter where you play.
