Re: 2011 Recruits

Both are seniors... but Cassie Potter is 6', while Christa Paul is 6'4"

Cassie has already committed verbally to Northern State... I'm not sure what Christa will do after school.

my bad. boy, thought i saw them both listed at 6'4" somewhere. guess always that chance of misprint lol. i had known of the paul's when i lived in madison (long time ago)---didn't surprise me they would have a girl that tall. that is, if it's the same paul's i am/was familiar with.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Kahla Becken committs to NDSU and so the highest rated player on GPrep not to committ is AnnMarie Brown from St Peter who has visited Brookings. I see Martha Alwai from Worthington is finally listed in top 40. I would love to see the Jacks take a chance on a long shot blocking raw player like Apiew Ojulu or Alwai.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Apiew Ojulou 6'2 from Lakeville North has committed to Marquette. Still think AnnMarie Brown from St Peter will committ if an offer is out there.

TV tweets that Alwai has given her verbal commitment to Mississippi State.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Sounds like this girl attended the Elite Camp and did well.



You can read it here. I wonder who else made the all star team at the SDSU team camp?

According to this website she is a 5'-11" forward and ranked 8th in the state of Minnesota

TV just stated that he expects her (Mariah Clarin) to sign as well as Megan Stuart. He also said he thought Ann Marie Brown from St. Peter would fill the last spot.

Good for Martha - She has a chance to be a dominating inside presence if given a year or two to develop .And,it is Alwal,not Alwai.

Thanks. I was just copying the name as spelled previously in the thread, perhaps I should have done a little checking.

Really think we could have used a player with her skill set especially in the tournament where there are players with similiar abilities. Obviously coaches felt different.

It's a long ways from home,but she's going to a great program from the SEC that was only four points away from making the Elite Eight. She will get a chance to prove herself going up against teams like Tennessee and LSU twice a year.

I would rather have Anne Marie Brown. I hope that's what happens. Let's see how it plays out.

Re: 2011 Recruits

To expand on my thought. The best players i have seen at SDSU were not tall, they were athletic.

Melissa Pater
Jen Werkentien (SP ?)
Megan Vogel
Maria Boever

None of these women were over 6'0". In my opinion, Anne Marie Brown is better then Atwal. I hope she fills the last spot.

Re: 2011 Recruits

Mississippi State can probably gamble on Alwal.

Check this out:

Compare that with:

http://www.gojacks.com/fls/15000/sta...B/teamcume.htm

Scroll down to the season box score.

Minute by minute totals show that Mississippi State can basically take a flier on someone with potential who is also very raw. By my estimates they basically played a 7 man rotation (starters averaged 30+ minutes per night.) SDSU played about a 10 man rotation.

I also noticed that SDSU sponsors more sports than Mississippi State, and probably has more student athletes as well.

Re: 2011 Recruits

To be fair, Miss St. has a great WBB team, so it's tough to tell. Did AJ even offer her, or did he have better options?
