^ Not McDonald's All Americans, just nominees. Over 100 were nominated just from Texas. However, it's a step in the right direction for the program. Verdi seems to be getting it done.

Any coach that submits their players to be a McDonald's All-American earns that player a "nomination".

PG from Spain is considering UMass. "Superstar" might be a bit strong, but our competition is Michigan and Minnesota.

It looks like one of our early signees will add some scoring punch.

....and we've added a bit of height:

I have a little info on basketball in Turkey:

I work with a Turkish man and he was telling me that the team that Anil Burcu Soysal plays for is one of the top two club teams in Turkey. (Galatasaray and Fenerbahce) This was when he was there 20 years ago, the landscape of club teams could have changed but, he was impressed when I was showing him.

I was trying to find video of her playing basketball but, I had no luck. Did anyone find anything?
