2024 SJS Schedules

I agree. Feels like there would be a connection to a former player/coach who is now at that school.
My intel tells me no connection at all. Just Taylor trying to step out of the area and get an out of state game. Sort of strange but who knows. One thing is for sure.... Oak Ridge lost there entire line and 80% of those kids are playing at the D1, D2, and JC level next year. We are talking about a top 3 line in Norcal last year. They have a lot of gaps to fill and this will be a huge void. Personally I think they struggle a little next year and wouldn't be surprised to see a 3-4th place type SFL ranking.

Elk Grove, Amador Valley, and Edison are new opponents that replace Hughson, Tracy, and Lodi
A step up in quality of non-conference teams. The Maxpreps ratings for last year for the three new teams are Elk Grove 17.30, Amador Valley 30.60, and Edison 26.40, versus the teams they replaced, Hughson 20.10, Tracy 23.20, and Lodi (1.00). These numbers are not infallible and are often not in sync with head-to-head results but they at least factor in strength of schedule.

One thing that changes in the W is rim protection. Perimeter defenders can play tighter because there are very tall women looking to block shots from guards who head to the rim.

Size matters, and Clark will find it more difficult to get off shots from both outside and inside. She will adjust, certainly, but it may take a season, or maybe two.

Oh, and she has to guard somebody too, which has never been a strong point.

I think she will have a bullseye on her. As most any hyped rookie does in any league. But I think if she can withstand that early, she will gain respect pretty quickly. I can see a similar transition to what Wemby had in the NBA this past season
She'll be fine. Early struggles I would imagine but her shooting skills will translate at any level.

Nice!!!…. I will be in a light Blue Jacket, or if it’s hot a Grey Polo with my work emblem on it…. I won’t be there until about 5pm or so due to work!…. The Bummer of HS Baseball games starting at 4pm when you have to work until 5 pm…. 🤣

Also at Oracle yesterday, Freedom shut down CVC 5-0.

Benicia topped CP today 4-2. They are now tied for 1st place. Thursday’s rematch at CP will be a big one.

Aidan Mahaney...

Interesting article from the Hartford Courant..

On Mahaney's Transfer Choice

Call it a puff piece if ya want, but good article anyway from Hartford's newspaper.

Based on that story, it sounds like Aidan wants to be a part of UConn's shot at a historic 3-peat, even if he doesn't play a bunch of minutes. UConn is deep at guard and Aidan knows it.
He will get his minutes. I would say he competes to start.

Agreed. Fundamentally if you can't start in HS how the hell are you playing in college and you aren't playing at Mater Dei, SJB, or Bosco. We give way to much credit too coaches. Shaw was clueless but played the "part" well.
the disrespect to the James Logan High School legend
NCAA: 96–54 (.640); Bowls: 5–3 (.625) that is clueless? at stanford? 3 losing seasons out of 11. 2-1 in the rose bowl. wow
