Re: 2011 Recruits
Its been a few years back but Racheal Halsrud who played for the Jacks had also played the six women bb in high school in Iowa. She was quite an athlete as I recall. I think the point in bringing up all these variations of football and basketball is that the athlete that plays 9 or 6 man football has to go through a number adjustments when they walk on to a eleven man college programs. The same is true with the six girl basketball. I believe 3 of the players were prohibited from crossing the 10 second line. So running court has to be a big adjustment for anyone coming from that type of program.
I think the big thing that has changed and will continue to change recruiting is the AAU camps and tournaments. No doubt the Sioux Valley young lady got exposurer that she would not otherwise gotten by playing with an AAU team in Kearney Nebraska. Years ago I watched some of the Nike tourney in Las Vegas. They were playing in a small gyn, but the bleachers where full of coaches, observing most not even taking notes, but it reminded me of a sale barn without an auctioneer but silent bidders.
