    2020 recruits

    Just a quick note that there is a young Western Canadian who certainly should be (and I hear probably is) on the Zags radar.

    Calgary's Bishop Carroll HS - Grade 11 Yvonne Ejim.She's 16 years old and played for Canada at the same U17 World Championship as Zag recruit Australia's Eliza Hollingsworth.

    The official website of FIBA, the International Basketball Federation, and the governing body of Basketball. FIBA organises the most famous and prestigious international basketball competitions including the FIBA Basketball World Cup, the FIBA World Championship for Women and the FIBA 3x3 World Tour. The website features live and on demand videos, basketball news, over 70,00 players profile and thousands of teams profiles, schedules and statistics of all FIBA Events as well as results and statistics from over 80 national basketball leagues.


    She's a 6' power forward with great athleticism who comes with an impressive pedigree.

    She's listed in the top 10 in Canada for her year, but as she's from the west she most likely is not scouted as much as the Ontario girls.



    Her brother Melvin played for Iowa State and now plays professionally for UNICS in the VTB (and is a stalwart of the Canadian National team).

    I believe that are already many high major programs on her, but the Zag's have a history with Southern Alberta girls (Janelle Bekkering, for example who my source knows well).

    Just noticed that also listed with Gonzaga interest is Maggie Besselink another forward, she's from Ontario and recently won the MVP at the Canadian U17 championships . I like the scouting report on her as well.

    Maggie Besselink of Kingston was named the tournament’s most valuable player as she led Ontario to the gold medal at the Canada Basketball 2018 17U Girls…


    Both girls are ranked in the Canadian top 5 on this site in the class of 2020.

        Haven't found any out about the scrimmage other than it was held here in Spokane. Here is a couple of cryptic tweets from CLF and coach Lindsey Gottlieb of Cal:

        From CLF: "Scrimmage day means the season is almost here! Thank you @CalCoachG & @CalWBBall for coming up to Spokane! Love the matchups and always get a TON out of it! Good luck this year!!"

        From Coach Gottlieb: Lindsay Gottlieb, Verified account@CalCoachG - "It is always rewarding to scrimmage @ZagWBB Great players and excellent coaching-challenging us to learn and get better. And I get to see my friends @FortZagWBB @coachclinezag and crew! We’ll be cheering for the Zags all year."

          Hearing that Zag staff have been up to Calgary to see Yvonne Ejim play in a tournament.

          Iowa State, Wake Forest and possibly Princeton are also still in play.

                That is great news.

                Looks like it is down to 2 for Yvonne (who is playing with Kia Nurse's AAU team this summer).

                Thanks to the lurker for the link...

                      Sounds like the staff will be watching her play in Michigan this weekend. A decision could be getting closer.
