she's a late edition in signing. I can't seem to find any other college offers before her signing on with us! Question mark?? She's multiple sport and that's a plus. In limited bball video, actually not overwhelming, somewhat mechanical, frail, but hustles well and a team player who produced v instate competition?
good to view the roster filling out

Cape went 16-2 versus in state competition losing to perennial power house Ursuline twice, once in the regular season and again in the State Tournament.

She also produced against non Delaware teams:
They were 2-1 versus out of state schools beating Haverford HS (PA) and Stephen Decatur (MD). They lost to Family Academy (NY).

possibly enlightening to u sir:
1) thanks for steering me towards a new acronym- learning never ends :D COM=just created on the spot= come on man :roll:
2) frail- maybe a definition would help though I'm sure u know the meaning. This physical issue will translate into getting pushed around under the boards at the college level. Additionally, injury concerns and recovery are unfortunately associated when frail(not sickly in the medical sense)- just prone to lost PT. I might have utilized thin or slender, but frail "on the court" was my reaction to her videos.
3) I assume these concerns(possibly others) are the basis for no other offers.

I'm quite pleased to view instate players signing with our university in any sports. Possibly weight training and nutritional improvements at UD can be beneficial for her. coaching to avoid contact near the bucket also. Thin athletes often often receive positive whistles from the refs against aggressive larger opponents. Finally, I hope my present concerns will diminish, and she will be a positive UD addition in the future.

BTW- can someone provide the specific ladies on our team who received scholarships? We'll then know who are walkons.

Amelia is an Italian name...therefor, tenn's odd light bulb moment should have used the term, "Fra-Gee-Lay."

Hey Henny,
This poster from Tennessee loves to “enlighten” both of us. The condescension is just dripping from his posts. Maybe we should take heed of his “vastly superior” knowledge! LMFAO

Edit: BTW Tenn, typically when the University announces a player via the website and/ or on social media that player is receiving scholarship money.
