  1. Beatrice has a freshman to keep an eye on 5'8 Alijah Stabler. She didn't have a great game today vs. Elkhorn North - mainly cause Elkhorn North was really keying on her. She did end up with 13, had 12, and hit the game-winning free throws in their Norris game. She averaged 17 a game this year. This was my first time seeing her in person, I'd seen her on tape a couple of times this year, really gets to the basket and finishes well - especially for a freshman.  

     

    Prince is so much fun to watch. So calm, even when she forces things it's so smooth. When things were getting tight, she'd take a ball screen to the left, have 2 people on her and nail a free throw line jumper with hands in her face.  She probably had a couple more turnovers in this game than she usually does, but I still think the thing that separates her from others is her passing ability.  

  2. According to her Twitter here is her list of offers as of 1/23/2022. I have included AP Rankings for teams as of 1/17/2022.

    Last stat update in the OWH (1/8 - 11 games) had her at 26 points 4.9 assists 112-179, .626 from the floor, 25-60, .417 from 3  37-43, .860 from the line. 

     

    She gets a lot of her points off transition and turnovers, probably the most improved area is her three point shooting, that makes her extra dangerous.  I still believe the best part of her game is her court awareness and passing. For a sophomore it is excellent and probably sets her apart from others when making national rankings. 

     

    As a team they are 14-1, their loss was to undefeated Omaha Skutt 63-54 two weeks ago.  Skutt is led by another sophomore 5'6 Peyton McCabe, sister of Fremont and Iowa recruit Taylor McCabe). Peyton was averaging 20 points a game in that last stat update. 

     

    Here is one highlight video, for what it's worth, of Prince from Twitter (from the Skutt game) - if you search her name on Twitter you can find more.

     

     

     

  4. A question that I have always wondered, what rules/guidelines do Division 1 coaches who have kids, have when it comes to watching their kids play and interacting with kids on their teams?  

    So for example, Coach Williams has a daughter who's on an AAU team that played in Des Moines this weekend.  With there being no recruiting now is she allowed to go to the games to watch as a parent? My assumption would be that, yes she can go watch her daughter play but what about contact with other players and/or their parents on her team?  For sure there is nothing that could be considered recruiting allowed, but are there actual guidelines in how the coaches can interact with others associated with their child's team.  

     

    This would be the same with Coach Hoiberg and his sons, who I'm assuming are playing for some team, though if I remember right it was mentioned when they first were coming that they would go back and play with their Chicago AAU team, that probably has changed with all that's going on.

     

    One other time I thought about this was when Coach Cook's daughter was at Pius.  I'm sure it happens all the time all over the country, but just have never seen actual rules/guidelines.

    Is being on the team were you don't get off the bench worth it though?

     

    I personally think that's where some of the best learning is, cause life isn't going to be easy. So if you're willing to go out there and put the work in day after day and stick it out, I think those kids are on their way to having good productive lives. 

     

    This is an easy example, but ask the 3 or 4 seniors on the Gretna Boys Basketball team that didn't get to hardly play, if it was worth it?

    I know many schools where the kids on those lower level teams also play on upper level teams.  Happened with 4 of the public schools in Lincoln just a few years ago because they didn't have enough kids out to field all 4 teams.  It's ridiculous to have freshman play on 2 or 3 teams and multiple games each week - cuts into study time and doing other activities they may be interested in.  

     

    You always are going to have kids play on 2 levels of teams (3 levels I agree is a problem), sometimes they don't get any playing time on 1, but they get more on the other. That's how you develop programs. But also it's still school, schools are out there to provide opportunities for kids whether they are the best kid or the worst kid. 

     

    All over the state schools are dropping some of their lower teams cause of numbers, I find it sad mainly cause I think a lot of it has to do with, if I'm not on the top team why go through the stages. 

     

    I just think there are other ways to find money for a shot clock then limiting opportunities.

    So how does South Dakota afford it?  Watched a few games of the state tournament and it seems to go smoothly.  Refs seem right on top of any issues with resets.  It really does make a difference in the flow of the game.  

     

    Seems odd to me that Nebraska has a million more population in a "tax me to death" state but they can't seem to scrape together enough to put a shot clock in each district.

     

    if they would at least cut out the freshman level teams in the larger districts and the C teams in the smaller districts, the money saved on travel/coaching/games could be put toward the shot clock.

     

     

    Ya let's cut opportunities for kids to compete and be on teams so we can have a shot clock. That sounds like a good plan. 

  8. There is an archive of one of Jess's games at http://www.highschoolcube.com/organizations/all-iowa-attack-girls-basketball-ames-iowa

     

    Looks like highschoolcube is going to be streaming a lot of the NIKE EYBL League that All Iowa Attack plays in. 

     

    Here is a rundown from the Tournament. 

     

    All Iowa Attack went 3-2.  Lost to Georgia Pistols (62-45) and Fairfax Stars (52-43). Defeated Carolina Flames (71-63), Georgia Metros (67-32) and Miami Suns (60-53).  The Miami game is the one linked above.  The Georgia Pistols have Asia Durr the 2nd Ranked player in the Country.

     

     

    Individually, three players averaged over 20 per game.  Marina Mabrey of Exodus/Epiphanny Prince put up 23.6 while Kelly Koshuta of Fairfax averaged 21.6 and Jessica Shepard of All Iowa racked up 21.4 each time out.  The field goal percentage category wasn’t defined by a minimum number of attempts but worth noting is the 30 for 45 effort of the Midwest Elite’s Tori McCoy which translates to an impressive 66.7 percent. Destinee Walker of the Central Florida Elite connected on the most threes at an impressive 50 percent bringing home 20 of her 40 attempts.  Again, from three there was no minimum attempts for three point percentage but highlighted efforts came from Gym Rat teammates Tiarra Murphy (9 for 12 – 75%) and Darby Maggard (10 of 14 – 71.4%).
