Another commit, Hailey Leidel from Michigan. A guard who can score.

Hailey Leidel
‏@Hailey_Leidel22
Officially committed to play basketball at the University of Massachusetts

The Woodhaven star has indeed been growing over the years and is etching quite the name for herself in the Woodhaven history books.
Earlier this season, in a game of Downriver League unbeatens when Allen Park came to call, Leidel broke the school record when she scored 37 points.
A week later she did it again with 38 points when the team traveled to Trenton.
In the team's last game of the season on Thursday evening, she put up 32 points in a close loss to Grosse Ile.

Possibility: Emily Pettigrew, 1K point scorer out of Newburyport. Deciding between us and South Carolina, but college hoop may be a secondary consideration for her.

^ Very few Cape Ann League players of either gender ever see the court in D1, never mind get recruited by powerhouse South Carolina, but she had solid AAU numbers:

Perhaps our new coach should take a look at this kid who is in our own back yard... Better programs than us already have...

With all of the schools listed are interested in her my question is why UMass is not on the list?

Here is a link to women's BB roster.

Ten players on the list including four freshmen and one red shirt freshmen from Cyprus. Got a bit of height.

We can certainly hope the new players are good and welcome them to the program, but there's not a lot of info provided in the bios...

So did all the girls who committed before the change still come? For a new coaching regime, there's not much info/hype on the program

Was on campus today around noon and stopped by both BB offices. DK was not in but the women's coach was. He said he is not going to bring in any players for this year but will/was concentrating on next years recruits. His opinion is that if someone might be available there might be because there is some issue with them.

They are going to hold an open tryout for walk-ons. I wonder if Berkman can shoot the three.

Might be able to make a layup with a few ties nothing else. Never was any good at any sport except for bowling big balls.
