Isn't she the one that supposedly went with HB to the Dook/UNC game earlier in the year?

I wonder if she cut her hair to conform with Dook standards too.

I can't believe that those toolbags actually thought that was the reason why he cut his hair. They are so caught up in themselves it's sickening.

Where is Mred with the latest recruiting updates?

**mred** · 05-11-2009, 06:31 PM

I never have inside knowledge of anything. I'm just very efficient at using search engines. :) There's not much info out there right now.

Yes, but now we have an update that there is, in fact, no update.

Hoopgurlz did have a tweet mentioning her yesterday:

Chris Hansen / ESPN (ESPNHoopGurlz) on Twitter

Nike Skills in Indy off to a rousing start. Whitney Holloway and Taylor Greenfield impress.

She's a real talent, although I don't know how much stock to put in their rankings at this point -- they have 9 players from Iowa's class of 2011 in their database, including a certain sophomore from Linn-Mar. No, not Kiah Stokes. Backup guard Jenna Eells. (No knock on Eells -- she was the backup PG behind Printy, and she is a legit prospect.)

Speaking of Kiah Stokes, she's one of 30-40 players nationwide invited to try out for the US 16-and-under team later this month.

Stokes invited to Colorado Springs « LINDER ON PREPS

Stokes said she plans to commit to a college program “probably in the fall of my senior year. I’m not looking at any one college right now.”
Her father, Greg Stokes, said that Kiah has taken unofficial visits to Rutgers and Maryland.

More Greenfield from Nike Skills camp:

HoopGurlz: Nike Regional Skills-Indy Tip Sheet I - ESPN

Almost every coach dreams of having the kind of player who could play virtually every position on the floor. Iowa native and Ballard High School standout Taylor Greenfield could well fit the bill for that task. Measured at 6-3, she has the size to play in the post, but you wouldn't be getting her best down low. She's naturally at home on the perimeter and has the skills and decision-making ability to play any of the three spots. Her smart play makes her most effective with the ball in her hands and whether that's in transition or the half court, good things usually are going to happen. Greenfield has impressive vision and reads the floor leading to good choices on both the pass and shot. More consistency will have to come to her perimeter shooting to make her a more complete threat and additional strength will be an asset as defenders try to get physical with her.

I used to know a guy named Kris Greenfield back when I played golf a lot at Veenker. I wonder if that is his daughter because I believe he lived in Huxley.

It can't hurt. The top players (particularly in the smaller classes) rarely face players of their own caliber in the high school season. AAU not only gives them a chance to play against players of their own caliber -- it also lets them play WITH players of their own caliber. That simulates the college game a lot more than the high school season does. AAU isn't better than high school, but it develops different skills than high school and is another tool to make players more prepared for the next level.

Taylor's Dad's name is Kris and she has a brother that is an exceptional golfer so that would make sense.

"Her father, Greg Stokes, said that Kiah has taken unofficial visits to Rutgers and Maryland."

Greg Stokes - the former Hawkeye played for George Raveling?
