An interesting quote in the above article posted by mancarl: "At www.highperformancehoopsnetwork.com we feel the PER leader this year is truly a world class elite prospect. Jasmine Simmons, this years U20 National Champs leader, has recently committed to Oregon State University in the Pac12. She was previously selected to FIBA's All Star 5 at the U17 World Championships, is ranked by ESPN as 7th best international recruit and the number 1 shooting guard in the class. She is a product of the Basketball Australia Centre of Excellence at the Australian Institute of Sport, originally from the regional town of Broken Hill. She also spent a brief time playing in South Australia for Central Districts Lions." "When asked about her last National Championship before she begins the next part of her career at Oregon State University, Jasmine spoke fondly of her team mates and their team values as the major reasons for her team’s successful tournament." |

As I've said before, and as I'll say again, and contrary to all the skeptical naysayers on this board who like to trash every optimistic voice about the incoming recruits: She has the highest basketball IQ and most high level experience of any freshman EVER to enroll at OSU. She will be a big contributor in her first year, almost certainly on the all-Pac12 freshman team. She is Pivec on steroids. She is faster, can jump higher, is a better rebounder and passer, and is more aggressive than Pivec. Even though just 5'11, she should be playing small forward for us. The learning curve for her will be about 3 days long. All you grumps out there will be in for a big surprise. And if you disagree, then put it in writing so we can post your idiocy for all to see at the end of the season. |

Who cares. She'll play a lot of minutes. As for these other threads... who knows who'll did what. But, well have to play some bigs... plural... other than TC and JG that leaves the frosh. That leaves 3 spots. One is DS. That leaves two. KMac, Pivec, JS will split up those minutes. May go small at times with 4 on the perimeter, smaller type as high post shooter/driver. But, Pivec was not a great/even average outside threat. Ball handling below average... average for a wing. Unless some strides made my take is she loses minutes... because of depth and overall better skills of new players. Don't see AG as a factor unless as a spark plug. Could see her follow TK path after 2018. |

So making the all-pac-12 freshman team isn't really that remarkable. In fact we've had a number of players make all-freshman in recent years.
2017 Pivec 2014 Wiese 2013 Weisner 2012 Gibson
I'm looking forward to seeing her play at this level. It IS unquestionably a higher level of play than anything she's seen to date - including her U18 and U17 international experience.
Jasmine - if you're in Corvallis WELCOME! We're expecting big things from you.

Current SEABL comp has 8 national players at Olympic level, seabl.com.au/seabl-stars-feature-in-new-look-opals/, others in WNBL which Jas played trained with while at the AIS. Half of the SEABL players play WNBL which is considered one of the best competitions outside of the WNBA, Syd and Ruth played there and in most games came of the bench, which talks about the quality of that league. The recent 3x3 she played against #1 ranked China who finished higher than the USA (ducks girls) earlier this month in the 3x3 Fiba world cup. So while This (college) level is high, to say unquestionably anything higher than she's seen to date may be just a little over stated. She is on campus (spotted this morning with one of the coaches) so welcome! And while we are all a bit excited for this season I think our more experienced campaigners will carry most of the load and the new comers will have to learn, adapt, grow and fight for their spot harder than ever. We look deep and DS brings the biggest expectation and I believe she will deliver with the team going up a level - lets hope anyway. |

Sydney started for Townsville in last year's WNBL Finals all 3 games. I don't count 3x3 competitions. Or HORSE challenges or 3-point shooting competitions. 5 v 5 basketball is the sport. |

"She is Pivec on steroids. She is faster, can jump higher, is a better rebounder and passer, and is more aggressive than Pivec." Good grief, I can't wait to watch the bullets bounce off of her!!!
Most of CWBB plays a more complicated version of what the players did in high school. OSU does not. Both the offense and the defense plays a more complicated/different game that takes time to learn. To expect any player to come in and dominate as a Beav is to set up yourself for unhappiness. So when none of the Frosh take over and wins games please don't dump on them for what a disappointment they are. I think AA will end up an all-american and I think JS will do great things (just need to see how she adapts). But please give them time to show their abilities.

I stand by that statement. NCAA D1/Pac-12 WBB will be a higher level of basketball competition than Jasmine Simmons has faced thus far in her career. That is just a g.d. fact. 2. You've never challenged someone to a game of HORSE? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variations_of_basketball#H-O-R-S-E |

Thank you Squonk for the wiki link i feel more enlightened but none the wiser, so nope never challenged someone to a game of horse but I feel a challenge coming on next weekend when i can get on a court and see if the old bones will agree. It would be more like a game of old horse meets older horse and both need putting down - I'll let you know how it turns out.
