Another guard - four- stars by BlueStar Europe. She has considerable national and international experience. Nice to have good news.

 

[VeloClone]

So what is the good news?

That "She has considerable national and international experience." Duh

The good news is that she adds much needed roster depth and maybe she ends up being a significant contributor.

Also of note given BF's current issues with Moody, is that she is the 3rd overseas recruit for the 2016 class. The remaining 4th recruit is from VA. Is this going to be a trend and a sign that BF has lost his recruiting mojo in the Midwest due to perceptions of him, regardless of whether they're accurate or not.

She committed some time ago so I didn't think anything in the OP was news. I guess the news is that she signed her LOI.

Considering there are already commits from the Midwest for future classes, I doubt it. After having enjoyable international players in Aus, Mansfield, and Carlson I think he is just seeking them out more.

Nia had a teammate going to Maryland. I suspect Brenda Frese put BF onto her.

I like Bill's new recruiting strategy of recruiting International players. He can still scream whatever he wants at them, but this way they won't take offense because they can't understand him!

Until I learn how to properly pronounce I shall simply refer to her as "Z"

You should be safe saying Sofia.

That name sounds like someone I tried to buy off the internet a couple of years ago.

 

[CycloneBob]

I don't know anything about this recruit, but if we were after her, her signing is a great piece of good news given the current black cloud over the program. Go Cyclones!

I have it on good authority that this name will be on all Freshman Engiish spelling tests next fall.

Is she a thug?

 

[Henks4Cy]

WOW, seams like some people want to Judge and Jury before all the facts are out.

 

[farcyted]

Is she a thug?

Well have to wait and see how she acts and behaves before we know. Sorry bro, the term thug has nothing to do with race, only behavior.

Totally agree - thug describes person/behavior, nothing to do with race.

 

[CycloneBob]

racist.

Hey, you're good! I must be a thug?

Bill likes shooters, and the European players tend to be better shooters than American players. That's all it is IMO.

And I completely agree with this approach too. You MUST have shooters in today's game.
