Liana Jennings (5'8" PG), 18.8ppg and 5 assts.pg, has verballed to Curt Miller after an official visit on Monday. She plays on the same AAU team as Jen Uhl (6'1" Center) from Wadsworth, who verballed 2 weeks ago. Had good things to say about the campus, the team, and obviously, Curt Miller.
Has started 3yrs. at PG, Stow has a 64-9 record, playing in 2 district championship games and the regional finals in 05.

Cool. I can't help but wonder if we're stocked with plenty of guards though. Just an observation. If it were me , I'd go after one more center or an athletic power forward prospect.

Think about it for a second.....this kid is a JUNIOR and a true PG....now I don't know how good she is, but if Miller offered, he must be pretty impressed...and by the time she gets to school, Kate will be a Senior and McCall a Junior....this gives us the depth we need at PG for years to come. If Uhl (6'1") comes through also, she'll be replacing one of the current juniors, of which there are a LOT!.... True, I'd like to see us get a 6"4
girl who can really play to get us the size we need, but the MAC tends to be somewhat guard oriented, even in the women's game. I also remember a brief talk with Paul Krebs at the Q; he alluded to the fact that there's not a great deal to be gained by going hard after people you know you've got minimal chances to get. Rather focus on talented players who fit your system and WILL be able to be recruited and PLAY for BG. Might sound defeatest to you as you indicated in other thread, but it's also realistic.

The way you wrote that, it makes it seem like girls that are taller than 6'1" don't want to come to BG, but girls beneath that height are flocking here like mad. I'm not sure why that would be true, how is it that tall girls and shorter girls view our program so much differently?

Don't think it meant that at all ....as J4H indicated, they're not that many extremely tall re: 6'3" or more girls out there to begin with, much less with great D-1 athletic ability. My comments simply said that Paul indicated that, while it was not a total waste of time to recruit such girls heavily, if you spend too much time and then lose out to a "big name" school, you might have been able to get some talented athlete to fit your program, AND who can still play.... Think about Liz and Allie as perfect examples of this.

Interesting.....that site mentions that the 6'3 Hannah Baker is a walk-on. Does anybody know about this? I've never heard of BG women's basketball having a walk-on before. Has this opened up more scholerships to other recurits for us? And if thats true I see no need to redshirt her really.
