USA Women's U17 trials

[Row6Seat10]

Husker target Taylor Kissinger '17 from Minden is in Colorado Springs this weekend trying out for the USA Women’s U17 World Championship team. 143 have gathered in Colorado trying to earn a spot on the team, including all twelve members from last years USAU17 team.

 

Also participating in the trials is another Husker target, McKenna Haire '17 from Charlotte NC. The Huskers have shown interest in McKenna and vice versa. There will be multiple cuts, some coming as soon as today, before the 12-player team which will represent the U.S. at the FIBA U-17 World Championship for Women is announced on Monday.

I'm sure you'll both put in a good word to potential recruits for us if you get the chance (and they'll be interested in watching Nicea's progress as a Husker).  

 

Be interested in hearing your observations if you do go!

Yes sir!

42 players were sent home just a little while ago. Fortunately both Kissinger and Haire are still on the roster.

The second cut of 28 more players was announced tonight, cutting the USAWU17 roster down to 73.  Both Husker targets are still listed on the active roster.

Looks like it's just one Husker target in Taylor Kissinger, as I've been informed McKenna Haire committed to Princeton Friday.

doesn't look like Taylor made the third cut.

Been talked about before a lot...but certainly hope Coach Williams has Taylor K. on her/our radar.

 

I know Taylor was interested in the Huskers before all the changes....hope (again) she's still interested in becoming a Husker. Definitely have a spot for her on the roster.

Will be interesting; the family was close to Coach Stephens.  Taylor was very interested.  Since then, however, her sister has transferred to Creighton, and of course Coach Stephens is out of coaching.

Zoe Young from Urbandale, IA....time to try and steal one from coach Blunder.  That is, if she doesn't already have a commitment from her!

Iowa state would be right up there too... Don't forget them.

Pretty good ball player who will only be a sophomore next season. Although the school we might have to steal from to get her is on I-35 just north of Des Moines.

Zoe will have plenty of options on a national level not just regional schools. As of a couple of months ago she had offers from Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Louisville, and others. She is a 2019 recruit so there is time for Williams to get in the game with her.
