2019 Recruiting - WBB

Celeste should be on campus today. :hookem2:

She’ll leave early next month for training camp in Colorado before traveling to Thailand for the U19 World Cup.

Anyone heard anything new on Esmery? This would be a GREAT pick up for Texas!

Guess we weren’t in her Final 10, but noticed our coaches are following her. Realistically, do you think we might have a shot. Notice a Vol fan getting involved, but didn’t see them in her top-10 either.

Great pickup for Coach Aston! Had she previously signed to Mississippi State? If so and they give her a release will she be able to play this upcoming year??
 
Always excited to have new additions to the program. Been trying to figure out exactly when Esmery suffered her knee injury; I think it was last November or December. Would love for her to become 100% healthy sooner rather than later; regardless, she seems like a natural athlete and someone who gives tremendous effort (especially as it relates to rebounding).

Hope she can enroll for the second summer session in July and acclimate to college life and all the changes that come as a youngster transitions to a collegian.

She was released from her LOI prior to enrolling in school. So, she's not a transfer; she is technically coming straight from high school just like Celeste.
 
Hope it's for real this time.:smile1:
What Vic Schaefer said when Esmery signed with MSU last fall: ""Esmery is a very talented four-player that can really stretch the floor," Schaefer said. "She actually plays two-guard on her national team, and we are hoping that she can really be a big guard for us before she leaves here. She will be just a tremendous stretch four for us when she gets here because she plays the game extremely hard." ​

Great news! Now we need confirmation if Ortiz will be available to play this year? Actually surprised she is not on campus yet!
 
Official...Esmery signs her Financial Aid Agreement. Hope this guy gets his emoji correct in the future - Longhorns aren’t surfers.

 
Looking at the roster, I'm surprised to see ALL the new players listed on the roster - even Esmery Martinez. Why? Usually the SID is really conservative and they don't list players until/unless they've started attending school. So, it was just officially announced that Esmery was a signee and she must already be taking classes. And, I thought that Ashlee Hannan was still playing for Australia's U19 team.

And, Sedona off the roster.

I definitely agree that it seems very early compared to past timing of roster releases; not even volleyball has listed the Fall roster.

Wow surprised to see our Aussies in town! Thought Ashlee was playing at the FIBA 19u tournament in late July? They look like they just got off the plane!

She was definitely announced on the team. Maybe the Aussie team doesn’t need a training camp like the US because they’ve all come up together? If she is still playing, seems like a very long trip only to turn around and go to Thailand within 7-10 days.
