Anna Prins

I hope Anna comes here. Anna visited ISU and attended the Kansas State game at Hilton.

Wow! She would be a great addition to the Twister Sisters. How does our attendance stack up against a team like Texas? I know we were in the top ten this year for natioanl attendance, but the Big XII is the number one conference. You have to believe that our fans are a huge recruiting tool for prospective students!

Big 12 WBB Home Attendance, 07-08
1. Oklahoma (10,254)
2. Iowa State (9,388)
3. Texas Tech (8,555)
4. Baylor (6,275)
5. Texas (5,453)
6. Kansas State (4,305)
7. Nebraska (3,705)
8. Texas A&M (3,674)
9. Oklahoma State (3,376)
10. Kansas (2,750)
11. Colorado (2,008)
12. Missouri (1,296)

Never mind, answered it for myself. Here are the attendance figures for the schools that she listed (2007)...

6. Maryland 9,533
7. Iowa State 8,906
19. Texas 5,044

Georgia, Colorado and Kansas State did not make the top twenty.

older article on Prins: State title repeat well within reach for Broomfield

looks like her schools have changed a little bit, but ISU remains. Fennelly is the man, but he has been loosing recruiting battles with K-State of late. My guess is Texas and KSU are our challengers for her. I don't think she would fit Maryland's system well.

Anna has been in Ames last week to play in the elate camp. She had a great visit and really like the coaching staff. There is an article in the Ames Tribune about her stay.

that would be a "HUGE" pick up

Check out the link to yesterday's Ames Tribune story about Anna Prins' elite camp experience here. Hard to read this article in any way other than being highly positive for ISU. We're in the game!

Wow, that could be a sensational 2009 class. Chelsea Poppens and Amanda Zimmerman are committed, the fine player from Michigan, Jessica Schroll, is also a commitment (her high school coach believes she's one of the nation's top 15 players; the Trib ran a story on her a couple of days ago, too), and should Prins come aboard, well, then. . . .

And add that 2009 class to the 2008 signed class now in Ames, and you've got to wonder if Bill isn't about to elevate the program to the next level. Anyone who's a close observer of the wbb program care to make a comment or two about this possibility (I hope)?

(I believe one of these three stories mentions that all the 2008 signees and 2009 commitments were at the elite camp just held. Plus, since Anna Prins was on hand, prospects, too. Musta been some camp!)

i would not be suprised to see this team in the top 25 for the next 5 yrs if this girl comes, and yes i am including this up coming year with all the talent we have returning, the key will be the PG coming in this year, what we lacked last year was a natural PG, Lacey is more of a SG, dont get me wrong she did an outstanding job, but if we can have a PG like we have had in the past.. this team could be once again one of the most over looked teams in the nation

In my post above, please click the link to the Anna Prins story. Part of her great excitement for her Ames experience was working with 2008 point guard Alexis Yackley. I thought Anna's comments were eye-opening in several ways.

(Note: Amanda Zimmerman is 6-3, Anna Prins 6-6. . . .)

Just curious--is she any relation to one-time Sibley seven-footer, Ardell Prins? The names just seem to similar.


A true post would seem to be just what this team is waiting for.

Would someone who knows please mention the name of the Michigan recruit? I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.[/quote]

Jessica Schroll.

Thank you, fulll02! About the same time you posted, I searched Tribune archives for "Michigan" and found the story. Added its URL to the other two in an above post.

Thanks for your help, appreciate it.

Well, if she's 6-6, I'd say her dad would almost have to be 7-0 based on this photo:

I like how they list her as a forward in the story.
