I am not sure when it was announced, but KELO had Abdouch as the Player of the Year in their view. She was in competition with 3 other 2024 SDSU recruits and a Dordt recruit from Ethan. Squires of Sioux Valley was named the boys POTY.

Here's Maryn in action as a freshman # 22, 6'0" F, Sioux Center vs Waverly- Shell Rock in the 4A Quarter final of the IGHSAU basketball Tournament. I know, she's only an offer , but it's the slow season, and we may or may not get her as it's way too early in the process, but some of you may find it an interesting watch.

I was looking at the latest team picture posted on jackrabbits WBB X today , good gracious , that's one heck of a team pictured there . Will this be one of deepest teams we've ever had one end of the bench to the other....wow

I don't know if it was because of the angle the photo was taken, but Mesa Byom looks to be at least 2 inches taller than anyone else. Also, it was interesting that the three taller freshmen, including Vasecka, look to be just as tall as Brooklyn.

I noticed that as well but iIt looks like some of them are bending more at the knee than Mesa is, so it’s really hard to tell height by the photo. Interesting how some are wearing different shirts than others too! Very much looking forward to finding out how far this talented team can go this upcoming season!

Some were a little closer to the camera, not a whole lot, but a little. Also, some had (guesstimate) looked like 2" sandals on, while others much thinner ones, that throws the comparisons off too (the freshman pic). I like the picture where they're all wearing the same type tennis shoes, that eliminates the different height of the sole issue anyway (team picture)
If you look at the team picture, their feet positioning forms an arc, with the center of that arc (Brooklyn) the farthest back, and the ends closer to the camera, how much that makes Mesa seem much taller, I don't know, or, maybe she 's grown some from her listed 6'2 , I don't know that either.The front row people have to crouch down a little to not obscure seeing those in the back, not a photographer, but maybe the type of camera lens has something to do with it? It does make Mesa look like a giant, I concur with you.

Mesa looks really strong and like she could block any shot. If she’s taller…I want to see her jam it!!

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.

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

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.
