Unsigned Senior Girls Looking For A College Program

With the season completed and a boatload of talent still making moves trying to find the right college to land at, we’ve done some soliciting.

Jakub Rudnik and Kaleb Carter have been asking you to fill out a google form for seniors trying to play at the next level.

This will be an ongoing list on the site this offseason. We’ll be adding to and subtracting from it as players sign, and we hope you’ll help us keep folks informed as to the players who commit and sign with college programs. 
If you want to add to the list, fill out this form.

  • Coach comments: “Niamh is this season’s CSL South Conference Player of the Year. The CSL South is one of the best conferences in the state in girls basketball. I am very surprised that Niamh has not had more offers. Throughout her entire career, Niamh has been a special player for our team. She has done so much for us. At 5’11”, she can score from multiple areas on the floor, she rebounds, she can defend multiple positions, she shares the ball and she is mentally and physically tough. If there were a defensive player of the year in our conference, I am confident that Niamh would also earn that recognition. She was always assigned to the opposing team’s best player, no matter what position she played. Her combination of athleticism, speed and skill, makes her a special player. “

  • Coaches’ comments: “An elite 3-point shooter. Last season, she made 77 3-pointers, which is second all-time in program history for a single season. If this season were a full season, she would have ended up second all-time for her career in made 3-pointers. She is in the top 10 all-time in program history in steals and would have eclipsed the 1000-point mark if this season was a full season. Nicole, like her sister Niamh, is an extremely versatile player. She can score from multiple areas on the floor, she can defend multiple positions, she rebounds and she is willing to share the ball and is very mentally and physically tough. The combination of her speed, strength, athleticism and skill really enables her to be a special basketball player. In addition, Nicole is an extremely smart basketball player. She understands the game and is a student of the game.”
