Yeah, will be interesting to see what happens. They had a pretty young team this past season, and I think that Sabrina Piper is the only graduating senior. Tobulayefa Watts, a 6'3" center returns. She was pretty impressive in the second half of the season. A major shot-blocker. They're also bringing in several new players, including a 6'8" freshman who played (somewhat) on a nationally top-rated team from Florida. But they have to improve the shooting and do something about all of the turnovers. Something dramatic. They averaged 18 TOs a game, although their opponents averaged 17.......pretty sloppy basketball. And they shot only 30% from three, and 64% from the free-throw line. Hope they can turn it around.

I haven’t been to any games the past few years as my kids sports take that time now but it seems Ali teams turn it over a lot and generally are not good shooters. Usually tough and decent inside but they need some 3s to balance and open it up

If you go to her Twitter account, you can find links to a two part video done by one of Erie, PA’s sportscasters. Emina’s parents emigrated from the genocide in Bosnia in 2001. She started playing hoop in the sixth grade and has overcome a torn ACL that cost her her sophomore season and a broken ankle that kept her out until January of her junior year. She is well-spoken and it should be easy to root for her when she arrives on campus in 2021.

I always thought Ali could recruit - we just need it to translate to wins
