A Sea Of Red

It appears Coach Green has dipped into the JUCO pool for next season:


Amber Mays
5' 7" Guard
Sedalia (MO) State Fair CC
Prep: Pasadena (CA) High School

She is listed as a 2nd Team Preseason All American in NJCAA for the '07-'08 Season

2006-2007 Freshman Season: Honorable Mention All American averaging 12 Pts, 4.6 Assists & 3.4 Steals

She appears to be a penetrator and playmaker more than a shooter. She hit just 2 of 12 attempts from behind the arc as a freshman.

Bravo, coach.

wow

ha ha! good one critic!

I wonder if we have Coach Green or Coach Sherard to thank for this addition.

Shall we tip-toe through the obvious a little more...

....that we FINALLY brought in a JuCo player...

Well I hope she is a playmaker, we seem to be lacking in that area on the women’s team the last couple of years.

Actually, that was exactly what I thought when I read the thread title. "She must be good for Green to sign a JUCO player." Can anyone remember any previous Lady Flame JUCO recruits? I can't think of a single one.

don't know of any wbb player who was ever from the juco ranks

WE SIGNED A BLACK GIRL!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!


Sorry, had to do it.


Thought about doing it right after Critic said his wow, but didn't want him to start laughing in class.

thanks sj. that is exactly how i felt when i saw this thread in class this morning.

and EXACTLY what I really meant when "tip-toeing."

Actually, we may all be jumping the gun a bit, since this is in fact only a verbal committment.

the latter. She was on campus last weekend.

Talk about your greet weekends to have a prospect on campus.

Yes we did have a JUCO about 4 years ago. I think that her name was Andrea Dawson. A backup small forward, very athletic but not a great shooter. Descent player if you ask me.

This JUCO they just signed is great addition to the program who should replace Allison Fasnact when she graduates.

don't jump the gun, just a verbal...but a pretty firm one, from what I hear.

So you all think it will be Amber not Rachel starting at point next year?

It will be a nice competition.

Which Rachael are you referring to, Hammond or McLeod? Rachael Hammond will be the no 2 guard. The competition for point guard would be between Rachael McCleod and Amber.

I'm sure he was referring to McLeod.

I'm confused .... what about current redshirt Avery Warley? Is she not still redshirting? I was SO in hopes of watching what she can bring to the table.

this is her first year at LU and she is redshirting to focus on her grades. She should be playing next season. I have seen her practice a little bit and she is a very athletic post player who rebounds with tenacity and plays some good defense. she should hopefully be contributing right away next season.
