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.

So, Who Did the ND Coaches See This Past Weekend? by dillon77

Three of these events - in Birmingham, Dallas and Iowa -- were part of the nike girls eybl tour. There is a -- which was brought to my attention by poweri (see his link in an earlier thread) -- not only has links to these events (session II), but upcoming events as well. It lists top performers and standings.

Based on that:

- Birmingham. The key attraction there was 2024 6'4" center Kate Koval who plays for Exodus. While the club only went 1-2, Koval averaged 16.4 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 1.8 blocks per game. No surprise post coach Carol Owens and recruiting director Michaela Mabrey were there.

- Iowa. Coach Owens was here, too, and the attraction was 2025 forward Leah Macy, who is 6'2". Macy had a solid tournament, scoring 15.2 ppg and grabbing 6.4 rebounds per game. These were both in the Top 5 performers.

- Meanwhile, in Dallas, Charel Allen took in the Philly Rise going 3-0, led by shooting guard Mikayla Blakes, who averaged 14.8 ppg and 2.0 steals per game. Kennedy Umeh also plays for the Rise and she grabbed 5.8 rpg.

- Niele and Mike also went to an event in Georgia and, best I can tell, 2024 forward Sarah Strong was at that event.

- No one went to The Classic in Louisville this year, but I can report that 2025 shooting guard Daniya Prawl as cited as being a standout performer.

There could be others consideration and I'm sure younger players caught various coaches' eyes, but wanted to do a cross-section between people on our recruiting report and those who were playing.
