Reported that KLS hurt her ankle though could be just a simple sprain. Do not know yet. Fingers crossed for her.

More details from Jim Fuller LINK Still no word on KLS' health status. Could be an issue with 3x3 coming up.

Wilson has committed to Stanford hasn't she?

 

[bschwartz]

Wilson has committed to Stanford hasn't she?

I believe so, yes.

Mulkey is one tall girl....

And KLS still featuring her UConn sweatshirt!

That KLS is a great player and great advertising tool for UCONN wearing a T-shirt.

 

[Sonny44]

Excellent ponytail too.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Yes, Wilson has committed to Stanford. She's also the younger sister of Seattle SeaHawk's QB Russell Wilson.

I believe so, yes.

 

[Vowelguy]

Wilson has committed to Stanford hasn't she?

I haven't been tracking the 16s.

That's awful news. Hope it's nothing serious...

Did we ever kick the tires on that one?

 

[jsloanjr]

Her body is telling her to rest.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Did we ever kick the tires on that one?

Yes, Mulkey said UConn showed interest in her last year and Fuller mentioned the same the other day.

 

[CBus13]

Also, Sabrina Ionescu, who made a splash last year at the trials and made the team, is an alternate this time around.

When will this team be competing in the Czech Republic?

 

[Sluconn Husky]

When will this team be competing in the Czech Republic?

June 28 - July 6.

Doesn't work that way at Sanford, you have to qualify academically and apply before a scholarship offer can be made, and that can't be done until after 3rd quarter of your junior year, so anyone can say I'm committed to ... and the school cannot comment publicly on a unsigned player, but I'm sure she is a bright kid and should have no problem qualifying and is committed to getting into Stanford
