I know nothing about this "Prospects Nation" site, but they have her as a four-star with an international ranking of 13. I don't know how that would translate to American player rankings.

They posted there explanation for a 4 star player as:
"A four-star rating means we project this player has the ability to impact most tournament-caliber teams. This level of player should contend for multiple All-Conference honors at the mid-major level while also being capable of making major contributions at power (or BCS) conference schools."
Sounds good, if true.
I watched a posted video on Vimeo (vimeo.com/56569556) which seemed to be some kind of club game from 2013(she is #7 on green). What I saw surprised me. She is listed as a wing but she looks like she is playing PG. She seems to be a very confident ball handler with good court vision. While she doesn't seem to create a lot of offense off of her dribble, she did very well in transition and her teammates always seemed to look to her to lead the break. That would work well for us.
She didn't show a lot of offense, mostly drives, as she seems to be a pass first, shoot second type of player. She didn't look to be overly athletic but seemed to be fairly quick and ran the court well.
On the whole I think she will contribute.

I'm confused on where these scholarships are coming from. We're losing Sant but bringing in Burdette, Layfield, and Christinaki for 2014. Am I missing something?

We had two more open. One was from the little played guard who transferred last Fall.

Elder was the leading scorer. Six players averaging double figures in scoring. You don't see that very often ...

Men are allowed 13 ships; women are allowed 15 ships which JJ has seldom used. With last years injury to Kelley and the soft play by the bigs, JJ apparently feels need to shore up the middle and get an insurance guard.

After UD's elite 8 run you would think she would be begging Dayton to take her back, maybe she did was told "no thanks, once is enough".
Her father pulled her from UD as he wanted her to go pro. Yeah like its never going to happen at UD on the women's team getting a WNBA draft.
And it turns out to be true. UD didn't get an WNBA draft pick.....got two

C'mon sunshine, throw us some details!
Parkinson's twitter bio still lists '#FutureFlyer'
https://twitter.com/Shakeyourash_32
The Newark Advocate on June 1 listed Parkinson as a recipient of the 'Father Chaminade Scholarship (University of Dayton)'.

Possibly meaning that Parkinson was ommitted from the 2015-2019 list for seniors. Along with Duffy and Dennis.

She sure has trouble with commitments. Any player that just walks out on her teammates is not worth the trouble and headache. She and her father think she is better than she is. Surprised UM took her, shes a head case.

I think college ball means more to US kids( and Canadians) than it does to Europeans.
