- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
i've lived in the bay 25 years and never had my car broken into...generalizations...smh
correction. Oakland or San Francisco. But this last time it happened in Hayward. Twice in downtown Oakland.
Whitney Boddie never played club basketball and played for a small 2A school in the middle of nowhere in Alabama -- and wound up in the WNBA.
Kayte Christensen played for Modoc High and not in club basketball and wound up in the WNBA.
So it's my turn: Name those players who should have gotten D-1 rides but didn't.

Clay... those players are at least 35 years old... AAU/ travel ball back then 20ish years ago was not what it is now.. you know that.
True, but since women's basketball is bigger business now, college coaches have even more resources to find players just like that. And since parents have been scared into doing more club activities -- as they have in all sports -- it's difficult to find any accomplished player who didn't play club basketball.
And I still want the names of D-1 level players who didn't get D-1 rides (and had the grades, etc.).

I'm not going to name names either, but I definitely think there have been players in the past that did not get much or any playing time at some of the "powerhouse" schools who were better than some of the stars of lesser schools. In other words, if they would have gone to their local public school, they would have likely scored 20+ pts a game and garnered some attention and could lobby themselves with a nice highlight video.
Now that being said, in my mind, that may also say there are some that received D-1 scholarships that were not D-1 caliber (again, in my mind). So I think that comparatively I would say, “well that kid on the bench at school X is just as good if not better than that kid at school Y and she got an offer”. So once again, just to clarify, I’m not suggesting that there are schools that have D-1 players riding the pine.. I’m saying that there are some kids that stand out against lesser peers and optics do matter in recruiting.

Hoyem was league MVP, all CCS and All State, had the size and skill to play D1 and always matched up very well when playing against players that went on to play D1.
Peterson was all everything in HS, only had D2 offers out of high school, chose to go to JC and is now a starter at Cal Poly.
The problem with asking for player's names is the argument, well she didn't get a D1 offer so obviously she wasn't good enough, or she wasn't good enough until she played at a JC. It is completely subjective.
450,000+ girls play HS basketball - 1.1% go on to play at the D1 level, with an even smaller percentage garnering multiple offers - it is really, really difficult to get a D1 scholarship.
Maybe your experience is different - perhaps the players at schools like Miramonte roll into the gym, win some games, don't play for Cal Stars or some other high end club teams and then, by their JR year wade through a multitude of offers from desperate D1 coaches, burdened with so many spots to fill. My experience has been different.
Ok, Greer Hoyem, M-A and Hannah Peterson, Leigh.

Hoyem is not playing as far as I know. Peterson I believe played EBX, but I'm not sure about that. Ask colhenry about Hoyem, he knows the PAL kids pretty well.
of the 450000 how many really play to go division 1? Alot play to just be around friends or to have an activity on their college application. Yes it is hard to get the scholarship however it is easier to get it versus the boys and i think that was the argument to start. Or maybe it was the girl who was being abused and decided to leave St. Marys but her parents wouldnt let her because she wouldnt get a scholarship playing at Lincoln or Manteca.
Screenshot this one this time so when he takes it down again we have proof. Lol.
