Notre Dame had a really good Finnish recruit. Women’s Soccer. Makinen (sp?).
join ND in August 2019 she would add some length and athleticism.
picture and brief commentary. And she could dunk at age 15...
..in terms of getting to know international talent, with Blue Star now actively involved in seminars and articles, talent showcases for Kiwis and Aussies and a showcase of internationals during final four weekend.
This young woman looks very tall. Probably a bit rough around the edges, but I'm sure Coach Owen could have a great impact.
Italy seems to be on a roll recently, joining "usuals" in Spain, Hungary, France in producing talent on a consistent basis. Be great to at least see what's going on (particularly in the "bigs" area).
U. of Istanbul? She was listed right below our Finnish friend. I would love to see her playing some minutes for ND this season.
..is a step in the international direction. As we've all said, it's a big world getting smaller and the hurdles to finding/recruiting international talent are being mitigated by the internet, camps, talent brokers, etc.
Geno/UConn got a late addition to his 2019 class with the Polish wing. Don't necessarily expect that to happen with the Irish in this case, but if MM/Niele can be open to the possibility, all the better.
Once again, thanks for passing along....
