    Jasmine Thomas named to national team

    From USA Basketball Press Release and Duke press release.

    "Ten of the nation’s elite college players, including Duke University junior Jasmine Thomas, have been named to the 2010 USA Basketball Women’s Select Team, USA Basketball today announced. Additionally, USA Basketball veterans Debbie Ryan of the University of Virginia and Dawn Staley of the University of South Carolina, who played collegiately for Ryan at Virginia, will act as court coaches for the 2010 USA Select Team.

    “It's always a huge honor to be invited to participate with USA Basketball,” said Thomas. “I'm really excited for this opportunity and will definitely value this experience. It will be fun to compete against and get to know such talented players.”

    With a gap in the international calendar this summer for college-aged players, USA Basketball will conduct the USA Select Team training camp April 15-18 in Hartford and Storrs, Conn., in order to continue preparing its historically strong pipeline of athletes for future USA National Team events. Comprised of future USA National Team hopefuls, the collegians will scrimmage against the USA National Team.

    “This unique experience will give these elite athletes a chance to continue to work on their skills in a USA Basketball setting, where they’ll also get a valuable glimpse into the USA National Team program,” said USA Basketball Executive Director/CEO Jim Tooley.

    Members of the 2010 USA Select Team include: Kalana Greene (Connecticut / Saint Stephen, S.C.), Kelsey Griffin (Nebraska / Eagle River, Alaska), Allison Hightower (LSU / Arlington, Texas), Jantel Lavender (Ohio State / Cleveland, Ohio), Jacinta Monroe (Florida State / Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.), Nneka Ogwumike (Stanford / Cypress, Texas), Andrea Riley (Oklahoma State / Dallas, Texas), Danielle Robinson (Oklahoma / San Jose, Calif.), Jasmine Thomas (Duke / Fairfax, Va.) and Monica Wright (Virginia / Woodbridge, Va.)."

    Nice. The national team (the ones headed to the olympics) also has some Dukies on the roster. Both Alana Beard and Lindsey Harding are on the team. The coaches haven't made final cuts yet, but it's great to see them with a chance to make it to London.
    Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
