Chantel Horvat
Member the U19 Australian team.

Fundamental, athletic combo-guard brings size to the back court; drives and finishes in traffic; quick 1st-step attack manufactures in mid-range game , stationary game extends to the arc; finishes plays in transition with body control to rim. (Olson)

I note that she is classed as a forward in Australia, although Olson calls her a "combo guard."  She is 185 centimeters, which I believe is 6'1".

This video is from 2013 when she is pretty young.  The photo in the article from 2015 shows a much stronger physique.  The final article is from just a couple of weeks ago and is quite current.  If I am not mistaken, she and Alanna played together in Russia last summer.

  Horvat has a host of schools reportedly chasing her, including Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, Florida, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington and TCU.
Making a short list is proving difficult but she has the help of her coaches, her father and the first-hand experiences of her friends.  "I wanted to keep my options open and I wasn't sure college was for me until recently," Horvat said.  "It's such a great opportunity to get a degree as well as play the sport you love.  "Trying to get a handle on which school to pick is a bit overwhelming but a bit of fun as well - talking to college coaches has been an experience. There is nothing like it."  College coaches regularly schedule times to speak with Horvat on the phone and promote their school and why she should attend. They say her athletic style of play should be a good fit in the US game.  "I'm getting a lot of great advice from my dad and from friends who tell me how they did it," Horvat said.  "You have to work out which school will be the right fit, what it will be like day in, day out for your development, your academics and even whether you will get to play in your best position.

The Oklahoma boards say they are recruiting her, which fits with the newspaper story.  We do not really know very much about her academics, so it is hard to know if she will be a fit for us or not.  Her statement does indicate a concern for academics, which is a good thing, but also a concern for playing her position.  I wonder if this is a reference to whether she will be able to play forward, given Olson's odd reference to her as a "combo guard."
