The article says that Carleton's mom played at Grand Valley State. Presumably that's the GVSU that former Cyclone WBB player Janel (Grimm) Burgess now coaches at. I wonder if that played into our recruitment of Carleton. Maybe too talented for GVSU's league, but GVSU put in a good word for ISU??

I see a little Tracy Gahan in her. Anyone know what Tracy decided to do when she stopped playing overseas?
What I like about her video is the thought that kept going through my mind as I watched her three point shot...the same thing the announcers will say..."nothing but net"
the comparison to Gahan is an interesting one. Me likey!

Canadian article on Carleton:
http://www.cksn.ca/2014/05/bridget-carleton-commits-to-ncaas-iowa-state-cyclones/
“I felt like Iowa State was the best overall fit for me,” said Carleton. “The coaches are amazing, they have the program I am interested in, the facilities are great, I think I will fit into their style of play and the game environment when I visited was unbelievable. Just felt very comfortable and welcomed by everyone while I was there.”

Carleton will be the first Canadian on the Cyclones women's basketball team. However, the men's team has signed players from north of the border, most notably Toronto's Melvin Ejim.
Ejim was the Big 12 Player of the Year this season. Could Carleton follow in his footsteps?
“They have talked about that, actually,” she said, chuckling.

Really nice to see a recruit that is impressed by the game day crowd and atmosphere. It doesn't always seem as important as I would personally perceive it to be. Only downside is we have to wait 18 months to see her in the Cardinal and Gold!
:smile:
Carmon at scout also has an article. Nothing new but good pub for the university to have a website dedicated to recruiting covering ISU WBB.

You picked a good name "knownothing." Her home town of Chatham is only slightly north of Ames.
This turned out fairly well.
