Imani Stafford the U18 trials

[BabHorn]

The trials begin May 19 and run through the 21 when the 12 player team will be announced. Competition for those post positions looks to be fierce. About the only post guaranteed a spot is Breanna Stewart, 6-3 F/C, a UConn signee that is considered the top player in the nation for her class (2012).

Others vying for post positions along with Stewart and Texas’ Imani Stafford (6-7 F/C), Imani’s twitter profile does say that she is 6-9 and 205# (20# more than her listed weight in the USA roster of 185#):

Candice Agee, 6-6 C, Penn State
Kaelyn Causwell, 6-4 F/C, Georgia
Briana Day, 6-4 C, North Carolina
Kailee Johnson, 6-3 F/C, class of 2013, undeclared
Tess Picknell, 6-5 C, Stanford

Full Court Press article about the U18 competition with a bit about the U17. Sounds like Imani is doing well.

Thanks to pap49cba who posted the link on the UConn Boneyard forum.

Just realized I posted Iman's interview in the under 17 rather than the under 18 trials thread where it should be. Sorry!

missed this picture the first time I read Moore's article:

Imani Stafford of Los Angeles blocks a shot by Breanna Stewart of North Syracuse, N.Y., during USA trials in 2010. They now are teammates on the USA U18 national team.
