    Really hope the switch has gone on for Jade. If Leaonna plays to her potential every game this could be a great season. Also hope Kyra and Mikayla can be back to 100% by ACC time, not just for the team but for themselves.

    Quick question, if Jim cares to answer: Have you seen enough of the freshmen yet to offer any analysis?

    Haven't seen the freshmen at all. Jennifer Ezeh sat out the summer "dealing with personal issues." Not clear when that changes.

    I'll be taking a longer look at the freshmen later this month.

    Anyone else planning to attend the game at Texas A&M? I’ll be driving over from my new home just outside Austin, and would love to get together before or after.

    As I mentioned a few weeks ago on The Devil's Den, another name to keep an eye on is Australia's Agnes Emma-Nnopu (6-0 forward).

    As an update, here is the good news: Australia's Agnes Emma-Nnopu will be visiting Duke next week.

    Here are some notes regarding AEN from the recent 2019 FIBA U19 World's Basketball World Cup, where she was a teammate of Miela Goodchild:

    • For the entire 2019 FIBA U19 tournament, Agnes Emma-Nnopu averaged 6.1 points and 7.4 rebounds as a starter (23.2 minutes per game) for the Gems.
    • While Emma-Nnopu did not shoot well overall (29.2/26.7/78.6 ) in the seven games, her total numbers in the QF, SF, and gold medal game (the medal rounds, as they were) were as follows: 28 points, 24 rebounds, 12-28 from the floor (42.86 percent), and 3-11 from three (27.27 percent)
    • In the gold medal game against the United States, Emma-Nnopu had 9 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals while shooting 4-10 from the floor, 1-4 from three. Australia held a late lead with less than 20 seconds to go in the game before the Americans tied the score to force overtime (where Team USA prevailed).

    Per my Australian source, Emma-Nnopu is known for her athleticism, hustle, and defense. In term of player comparison, think Karima Christmas.

    Deja-Va(nessa DeJesus) would be a nice backcourt of the future.

    Is Onyiah Nigerian (couldn't find anything online)? Does Akinbode-James give us any advantage there?

    Kyra is going to ACC Media Day with Haley and Coach P. Is she 100%? That would be better than any recruiting news.

    I could not find any information as to whether Ugonne Onyiah is from Nigeria.
    As an aside, it is not just Onome Akinbode-James who is from Nigeria. Duke freshman Jennifer Ezeh is from Nibo, Anambra State, Nigeria.

    Last I heard, Kyra will be good to go to start the year.

    Awesome! Thanks, I'm a big believer in the importance of the point guard. When's the last time we had a healthy pure point guard? (rhetorical question)

    I was going to say this recruitment is on Miela, but it turns out both BC and Texas have TWO Australians on their roster.

    Fun Fact: Stanford allows you to buy the Associate Head Coach's position. Seems about everything is for sale out there.

    Duke also sells all the same naming rights.

    If Duke has anything similar, please post. It will be the first I've heard of it.

    Zac Roper is The Baxter Family Deputy Head Coach.

    Stanford is the leader in this, but the goal is to eventually endow all coaching positions, same as with player scholarships.

    So how much for dudog84 Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski?

    And will the price be prorated after he retires?

    The difference is Miela and Anges played on the Gems for the FIBA U19s. These are Australia’s best juniors.

    I'm confused

    That's easy for me at my age--to become confused.

    Still--We have on the roster:

    Jayda (32)

    Jade (25)

    Jada (4)

    Jaida (0)

    What does P say when calling to them?
