A couple of 🏀🤓📝 from @usabjnt U17 trials session 1.

Best eval setting of the year for the national level players. Accountability of cuts makes a huge difference in the mindset of the elite.

2027 @SCNext #3 ranked/@LSUwbkb commit Caroline Bradley’s growth/comfortability is terrific to watch. Best player and leader of session 1 in my view - felt like a captain.

2027 @scnext #35 ranked Ashley MacCalla looks to be the most improved player over the course of the last year+. I initially had the thought coming out of @NikeGirlsEYBL New Orleans last week and watched it continue in today’s morning seasion. She is so much more comfortable with her perimeter shooting to compliment being possibly the best pure athlete in the national class.

I thought the bigs (Bradley & Eve Long in particular) were a little ahead of the guards in terms of effectiveness.

Hitting open shots, being decisive (and not overdoing it) offensively, ability to guard without fouling while communicating on both ends will be the major keys (as always).

U17 world competiton is generally much harder than the U16 America’s competition that the trials were held for this group last year. Meaning the details and connectivity of the team is doubley important.

After 2 sessions today, I’m waiting for a competitive breakthrough .. It’s been a little nonchalant here for me thus far. We have flashes, but not the multiple efforts it takes to be as good as we need to be.

Overall, the :24 shot clock is really giving the group trouble. They will learn to get off the sideline with the ball, put early pressure on the paint or advance the ball with the pass.

There is a major opportunity for perimeter players to separate here. We need leadership & we need shooting to emerge.

Looking forward to more progress in the morning.

[Jason Key @bballjkey]

A few 🏀🤓📝 from @usabjnt U17 trials session 2.

The biggest adjustment has been to the :24 shot clock, often times the offense hasn’t been initiated until :12 or after because of the ball pressure. Urgency to initiate from the guards must pick up as the trials go on.

The counter to that is the defensive pressure of the guards has been excellent, particularly 2027 Jazman Bailey.

Functional game shooting (a term I stole from my man @ShaneLaflin) has been lacking as well due to the speed of the game. Also must consider lung capacity/legs due to playing at elevation - it’s a real thing.

You can see the physical growth of many from last years 16s trials - a bunch of these players are in the weight room!!!

2028 Meg Moore put on a clinic in the 3-point shooting drill - immaculate form.

2027 Micah Ojo may very well be the most complete player here thus far, no holes in her game.

Really impressed with footwork and soft touch of 2027 Saniyah Murray, continues to improve.

2028 Giovanni Burress had some really nice finds off the bounce, a great compliment to her normal scoring prowess.

2028 Easton McCollough is really poised with the ball - took care of it while making plays for others , a great compliment to her normal prolific shooting.

Business will continue to pick up tomorow as cuts are looming.
