Thanks beavsteve, not sure if this one is behind a pay wall, note she slips in a "Go Beavs" ! oregonstate.rivals.com/news/wbb-beavers-land-2022-g-lily-hansfordThe Oregon State women's basketball program and head coach Scott Rueck landed another marquee piece for its future by securing a commitment from 2022 G Lily Hansford. The 6-foot-2 combo guard/wing from Appleton Wisconsin (Appleton East HS) is coming off a junior season where she averaged 13.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, & 1.5 blocks per game. She shot 45% from the floor, 43% from behind the arc, & and 79% from the charity stripe. "I am honored and blessed to be in this position today. Thank you to my parents for guiding me through this journey. Thank you to all my past coaches and teammates, especially those at Appleton East and Wisconsin Fight Elite. Without everyone's support, I would not be in this position today. I would also like to thank all the coaches I have been able to get to know during the recruiting process. With that, I am announcing my commitment to Oregon State University where I will continue my academic and basketball career. GO BEAVS!" During her sophomore season in 2019-20, she recorded averages of 13 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, & 2.2 blocks per game while shooting 43% from the floor, 41% from three, & 70% from the free-throw line. Hansford chose the Beavers over offers from the likes of Green Bay, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas State, Penn, Providence, Saint Louis, St. Thomas, Utah, Florida International, & Marquette. She'll join a stacked 2022 class that features five-star forward Timea Gardiner, four-star forward Raegan Beers, & guard Adlee Blacklock. |

A true sharpshooter is so important in wbb, someone that can pull the defense out and keep them honest. Someone like Kat. I like that she improved her free throw percentage 9% between her sophomore and junior years to a good 79%.

I found this tweet interesting: Rueck learned his lesson about making sure recruits know who he is and not just the recruiter. |

I found this tweet interesting: Is it just me or does that seem like a dig at Katie? I hope the official athletic site wouldn't post something like this. Rueck, like all head coaches, is very involved in the recruiting process. When you hear about the process from the players view it is something they like about him. He takes an interest in them not just their playing and that interest extends to their family. |

"She can flat out score/shoot & square up w/ the best of them.".....Quoted from Carl's post above....after watching her videos I would agree with this....and amazing range for a Junior in Hi-School....and I saw a couple of impressive long-range step-back 3's also....if she perfects that step-back she will be able to get her 3-pt. shot off anytime anywhere! Her shooting form is excellent and should lead to perhaps even more consistent results than we saw from Kat over her career. After watching her highlight videos I have a possible nick-name for her: "The Appleton Rifle"...😀

I agree - next hope is that she stays healthy until she arrives and throughout her career ! I just hate seeing injuries to these young athletes , especially young females because they 'seem' to always take longer to come back !
Brown's injury seems to be really taking a long time, and Kat also seemed to take forever ... could be that we missed them so much on the court and we ended up being a loittle shorthanded as a res?

'Because men, in general, have a greater muscle mass than women and build muscle more easily, men can often recover from physical injuries more efficiently than women.'
Found the above 'general' source for my 'impression'. Maybe everyone els knew this, but there is quite a body of work that describes 'drop down' detail on this same topic !
I also was interested based on the number of young ladies we have committed that are working their way off of leg injuries !

I think part of the issue is that an acl injury can take longer to completely heal than people want to acknowledge. It is not usually a 9 to 12 month recovery, more often it's up to 18 months. |
