Good choice Catherine! Congrats to Coach Green on the early verbal for a 2011 graduate. Is she able to sign this year or does she need to wait another year?

That video shows an impressive skill set, regardless of the level of competition. A 6'5" HS Soph who can put the ball on the floor, make post moves, and hit 15 foot jumpers is a very rare thing in WBB.

1. I appreciated the huge yellow and purple arrow to help indicate the kid who is clearly 18" taller than anyone else on the floor

2. impressed with the shot-making ability as well. Wonder what her shooting % is?

Thought the same thing:) She's probably still growing - could be 7' time she steps on campus... OK, maybe 6'7"

A 6'5" high school sophomore who can dribble and shoot the 15-footer? (I never saw Katie put the ball on the floor in the 4 years she played at LU). Welcome, Miss Catherine!

Anybody else notice in a few of those clips that she was truckin it up and down the floor? She certainly could play an uptempo game...

I don't know about "truckin' it" : to be fair, she only has to take one stride for everyone else's 2-3.

No different than me running after someone that size. Which I make a concerted effort NOT to do.
