Her team played one ranked team all of last year, Colorado, and lost by 30points. She clearly tore it up in the Patriot League, but her success in that league may not be a good indicator of her potential in the ACC.
...this situation looks made for a Grad Transfer Center to walk into:
- Virtually all starters back, save for a center and power forward
- And that's exactly what Weimar plays. She'll get to start in the River Baldwin role with some superb guards and wings around her.
- Lastly, Wes Moore is a pretty good dude (and coach).
However, I'll add in the part about ND in the next post...
Well, I like Caitlyn Weimar already: she's smart, visiting two excellent programs that have needs.
I listed why NC State needed her and what she can bring above.
And while I've posted about Weimar before, this is what I think she can do for the Irish and what the Irish can do for her:
- Weimar can rebound and defend well (Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year). I'm guessing Melissa D'Amico Graves had good, positive things to say to Niele and Post Coach Carol Owens about Weimar.
- She could be part of an excellent rotation with Kate Koval and Maddy Westbeld.
- Weimar would get to play and practice with three players projected to be first-round draft choices, an All-American lead guard and a top 5 frosh prospect.
- And there's got to be a good/great Masters program waiting for her.
The only down side is that word "share," as in share time and responsibility. She could be a clear-cut main post at NC State.
Both teams have a Final Four to shoot for (NC State, again).
Stay tuned.
Also a 6’6” Swedish player coming in
A couple of 6'2" forwards, including Maddie Cox.
I've included the release on the early signees. They may well have a tall Swede, too, so it's not as if Weimar won't have other centers wanting PT.
So, maybe playing with Kate Koval isn't such a bad deal?
of Westchester County. Sonia Citron of Westchester County probably knows her, so that could be a plus for ND. She played at Hendrick Hudson HS and started her college career at Marist College in nearby Poughkeepsie.
I will gladly include her in an ND front court rotation next season!
