So next year UCLA will have 3 PG's coming in (Londynn Jones, Jada Williams, and Kiki Rice), plus any PG's from this year's team who will have eligibility left (Osbourne? Conti?)
(In the thread discussing Brink for POY, someone said that with Brink, Belibi, Prechtel, Iriafen and Betts, we could field all all post/forward lineup. Maybe UCLA could counter with an all PG lineup. That would be interesting.)

Williams is just a junior this season so she will join Jones and Rice in their sophomore season down in Westwood.

Lepolo sounds fabulous. Of course, I don't have the foggiest idea of how to judge whether a superior high school player will become a superior college player. I hope she does!

I hope that she was underranked by HoopGurlz and she can contribute immediately next year. With the Hull twins, Wilson and Hamilton graduating, and Brown & Harriel big question marks, we are not deep in the guard position (in marked contrast to our post players) heading into next season.
Hopefully both she and Nivar can make a quick impact, to help out Jump and JVG (and Brown & Harriel, too).

I'm guessing we see a lot of Haley bringing the ball up next year. Jump and JVG give us an incredible outside shooting threat if they're in at the same time.

Thanks for sharing. EBAL semis tonight against Monte Vista featuring another point guard on the list.
A lot of talent across a lot of sports at Carondelet. Academics finally getting stronger, too. A few water polo players to watch in the next few years. Swim team looks strong, too . . .

And a water polo player! Lots of upper body strength from that, and it showed in her basketball.

that line-up will bring a lot of offense, but who will offer the shut-down defense with anna and the twins gone?

Emma-Nnopu for one. But I think it very likely that our defense will not be as good next year.

Given the team she will be coming into, being an “old school” point guard, who can get the ball to our armada of posts, may turn out to be a very good fit.

Hopefully she can still be able and willing to shoot the ball to keep the defenses honest. Otherwise, the opposing team can double team one of our post players without fear of leaving her unguarded.

Yes indeed! As is current Stanford pole vaulter Kelly Kern.
Other notable Carondelet alums, Natalie Coughlin and Tiffany Roberts (gold medalist, USA Soccer 1996). I'm sure there are others, too.
