This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

KK Bransford Invited to U.S.A. U-18 Trials by dillon77

Tip of the hat to UConnCat over at The Boneyard for initially posting this.

On May 24th, USA Basketball today announced 31 athletes expected to participate at the 2022 USA Basketball WU18 National Team trials at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Trials begin May 31 with the 12-member team expected to be announced June 3, with competition at the 2022 FIBA U18 Women’s Americas Championship in Buenos Aires from June 13-19.

Players from the classes of 2022 and 2023 were selected to try out. You'll see lots of familiar names on the attached release.

Good opportunity to train and compete with your peers on the national level. And, if you make the team, got to think it does wonders for your confidence heading into the college ranks, as it seemingly did for Sonia Citron off her stint at the 2019 u-19 World Cup championships.

Good luck, KK!
