Bob, that is great information and very exciting to see the interest. 

I am particularly excited about the 2019 class since by now (half way through their junior years) their academics are becoming a known commodity.  Amihere, Jones, Brown and Beal would win us a national championship before they were through.  Now, that would be quite a recruiting year if they all came.

While it might be possible to judge basketball talent of freshmen and sophomores, it is way too early to know whether any freshman or sophomore can make the grades, test scores, etc. to be admitted. The most difficult classes do not usually happen until junior year, for example.  However, the fact that we are interested in them must mean that we believe they have a reasonable prospect of making it in--and like Anna, with enough advanced notice quite a lot can be done by a player and her family to help her be academically ready.  So all in all, this is encouraging.
