Per Twitter (mostly Coach Britney's following list), what could be a list of potential '23 backups for Hidalgo and Watkins (in addition to Steele, who is already on our list here:
—Chloe Clardy 5'9" PG/G Arkansas, started ranked #8 by ESPN IIRC, currently #28 ESPN #33 ASGR. Tennessee, North Carolina, UCLA, NC State, Southern Cal, others...also followed by Anderson. Gatorade POY for Arkansas w/ 3.89 GPA
—Mackenzie Nelson 5'8" PG Connecticut, ranked #60 by ESPN, #59 by ASGR, Gatorade POY for Connecticut w/ 3.84 GPA
—Tyonna Bailey 5'11" G/W NJ, unranked, but offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ohio State, DePaul, other. Follow by both Coach Paye and Coach Britney
—Khia Miller 5'10" G Maryland, ranked #82 by ESPN but very modest offers to date. She's the "5th starter" for #1 Sidwell Friends. Followed by Coach Britney and lists a 4.0 GPA
Hard to pay attention when its a 114-29 blowout but another U17 game to watch vs/ Korea:

In the glimpses I saw of her, Agara looked little more active and aggressive inside.
Kennedy Umeh (now ranked#8 by ASGR) had 15 rebounds, though shot 4/14, which speaks to her great size, hustle, willingness to mix it up in the paint, but still raw at finishing. But I love how she's mobile for her size and tremendously strong and not afraid to back down her defenders (often plural) to get position inside. She might remind most of Kalani Brown but she's also got some Devanei Hampton in her.
