Sabrina to the Ducks
- Thread starter kkross22
- Start date
I think Kelly Sopak has his Cal Star's Club to focus on 1st and foremost. I would guess Kelly is in position to move forward if he chooses to do so after wrapping up things this season with Cal Stars. Kelly is still a good coach with or without Sabrina. But like all good coaches he needs talented players to be successful. There are many talented players at University of Washington even without Sabrina should Kelly choose to take that position. Whatever Kelly decides, I think he will continue to be successful, and I wish him all the best.
Congratulations to Sabrina and best wishes at the next level.
Did Sabrina decided to go to Oregon right now or was she going to there the whole time??? Did she make a deal for her bother to or just want to go to school together? Does Kelly get the job at UW without delivery Sabrina?????? Doubt it but is was a good hail Mary shot to get a chance to coach in college???? BUT FAMILY IS FIRST THAT'S WHY OREGON FOR SABRINA!!!!!!!!!
I could be wrong, but I believe Sabrina's brother decided not to go through with the plan to walk on at Oregon. I also think without Sabrina, the position at Washington is still open to Kelly, which in my opinion is a good look for them. Kelly has good rapport with a lot of people, knows the game, and I feel could be great for recruiting.
from what i understand, the job is still there for kelly to accept/decline. from a basketball standpoint it seems like a no brainer for a coach, but obviously theres much more to the decision than that.
congrats to sabrina, she shoved the waiting game right in face of the ncaa and people that pressured her.. i respect that.

i heard enough from people that the offer was official... and i heard this past weekend that the offer was still on the table and he had not decided (or at least had not made his decision known) i cant imagine that after all her time to decide, sabrina would make her choice based on what kelly wanted to do, but im no inside source close to the situation so this is speculation
Then Miramonte, Cal Stars, and its players are the real winners of the lottery. And that should make the Miramonte vs Campolindo rivalry that much better the next few years. My guess is the money was not large enough to offset the sacrifice Kelly would have had to make not only uprooting his family, but leaving behind both his Miramonte and Cal Stars players and their families who have supported Kelly loyally for years. Though I'm sure many of those players and families would have supported Kelly's upward move into the college ranks and eventually higher should his destiny be able to keep up with his coaching ability.
This story appears to validate some of the rumors http://www.maxpreps.com/news/3GT0lQ...he-year-sabrina-ionescu-signs-with-oregon.htm
The PAC 12 should be an exciting conference to watch in the coming years. We have a lot of Nor Cal players in the conference which will add to the intrigue.
Not too much has been made of Cayton but I think that was steal the century for Cal especially after losing Gabby Green.

The problem with society today is parents pride. On more than one occasion this summer I have heard people talking about how their son or daughter is being "recruited" by certain schools. In private schools their child is getting a "scholarship" to said school. It's never "my kid is going to (fill in school) because I want them there and we received financial aid because we qualified." It's comical. I do believe there are situations where coaches, other parents influence decisions. I would guess the particular family that has moved from Ukiah to Orinda has something to do with the success Miramonte has had over the years not the academic difference. It is happening everywhere.
Yeah, I guess the post I was responding to was deleted. I'll self-moderate my sarcastic comment.
I stand by what I said.
and I just have 2 quotes regarding it.
1) LOOSE LIPS, sink ships....
2) The truth will set me free.
go ahead and stick your head in the sand if you like....
I guess No. 1 was aimed at me ... my apologies to all for trying to discuss facts. I'll be sure to keep more information to myself in the future.
But I will stand by what I've always said: Families should be free to send their children to whatever school they think fits their needs, and whether that school be Cardinal Newman or Bentley or wherever, it's family decision and should be respected as such.

no no no....lol
#1 had nothing to do with you Clay. What you said had absolutely zero influence on my post.
You are misreading who that was intended for. I already knew the young lady was attending MM when you posted it.
And as I have stated before on here.... I agree that a family should be able to send their kid anywhere they want...and transfer anywhere they want without penalty.
mkbgdns,
I think Kelly and Clay will be great for MM. But after graduating Sabrina, Howard, and Delos santos, I'm not so sure they will have enough talent, depth, and experience, to win a state championship in the California Open Division. Not that Acalanes or Campolindo won theirs in the Open Division either. I guess they're set up to finally not be selected in the top 8. So perhaps.... I agree, the possible Division 2 state championship is well within reach for MM. They won't have the size and skill that Sabrina supplied, or the depth and experience that Howard and Delos santos gave them. But they will still have a good starting 5, and be a well coached team with a lot of heart and confidence. I already purchased tickets to the MM vs Campolindo games (smile).
certainly did not have the Open in mind, or even next year. 4 graduated from a primary playing rotation of 7. not a coincidence that Open run coincided with SI's high school tenure. lots of other fine players, but she was special. a once in (my) lifetime kid.
