Future Rosters

[91jack]

The way it's looked in past pictures, everyone wears the black shirts as a base and they pull colored practice jerseys over them to scrimmage. So probably not much. But if I would have to predict which freshman sees the most minutes right away, it would be her. Especially since she is similar size-wise to Vlastuin, who may not be at full strength for awhile.

I think it all depends on what they need. Mahli is probably already the second best PG on the team. Of course, Katie is a stud. Emilee might be the teams best shooter. Claire can do a little bit of everything.
If I had to pick one player that might not play this year, it would be Jaidyn.. She is not overly tall. She doesn't light it up from outside. She is a freak athlete. AT least from what I can tell. You have B. Meyer, Byom and Theisen that might all play the same positons as her. Two of those three graduate after this season to open up a spot for her..
I do think they will sit more than one though.
Of course, this is all my guess.

I saw that as well. Are there any "wild arse assumptions" we can draw up from Katie being in a blue practice jersey and the others being in black t shirts? LOL

Not trying to suggest anything, but any idea why Paige Meyer hasn't been in any of the team photos lately?

X picture today on WBB account included Paige Meyer.

Paige was highlighted in a “X” post today at practice.

[bigticket1]

She was in some a few weeks ago. Hopefully she was just out of town or something for the recent ones and nothing beyond that!

She was in the day camp photos from two weeks ago. We are all likely a little paranoid after the summer the Jacks went through a year ago.

Saw a rating service has her as the 20th ranked recruit in the 2026 class..

The national rating services rarely watch in-person, instead they rely upon word-of-mouth & the regional writers that do watch multiple games both summer ball and HS games.

Prepgirlshoops.com does an excellent job of repeated evaluations.

Recall that Macy, Myah, Duffy, etc., were NOT nationally ranked high - but proved to be top 30 players upon college graduation.

If tracked, the annual Top 100 in each HS class has half that never pan out at the D1 level (ESPN, R U listening?).

I would not expect to see Mesa rotate to post when Brooke is out. Kallie is another solid rock down low as she led blocks for 2 years as a reserve. Mesa could be working on her 3 point shot this summer.

Mesa can play facing the basket, so you are correct that she should get a lot of minutes at the 4. Brooklyn will probably see fewer minutes with Theisen back, which is probably a good thing in the long run.

It will be interesting to see how the Theisen/Byom minutes are distributed.

Mesa's come such a long way from her first year here, look for her to continue her growth and have an excellent upcoming season with blocks, rebounds and scoring, she's generated into a solid / very good player we can rely on always to give her best. Last season she emerged and caught fire and became a beast, look for her to continue to play that way and contribute even more this season.
