You bet. Maybe a few of the real WBB fans will come back and help us
make r.s.b.w an enjoyable and informative news group again.

: Divisions go 1-5 or I-V. Div 1 being the big public
: schools, 4 & 5
: the small private schools that recruit, er, give scholarships, er, give
: everyone an
: opportunity for a quality education. 2 & 3 contain the smaller public
: schools and
: most of the catholic schools. Amat is in the huge southern section.

Something like 540 schools from what I've heard.

: Basically, all
: of southern cal except LA proper and San Diego. Its so big they
: actually have
: sub-divisions 1A, 1AA, 2A, etc. Although 2 & 3 might be considered the
: weaker
: divisions statewide, its plenty competitive in the southern section.
: Don't know the
: player in question, but I'm sure she can bring it.

Many thanks for the elucidation. That helps quite a bit.

When I don't know much (or anything) about a recruit, I generally go by
who else is trying to recruit her. In Juasine's case, two other schools
were interested in her (or to be more specific, she was interested in
them -- they were on her list to visit). Those schools were Montana
State and University of San Francisco. Not overly impresive.

But you never know. I don't remember who besides Colorado State tried
to recruit Becky Hammon, but she is widely known for not having been
highly recruited. She came out of the wilds of Rapid City, South
Dakota. She didn't do too bad for herself. :-)

Thanks again for the info.

I keep hoping the same thing myself but am not willing to bet on it. I
think most fans post on school or team message boards these days.

Which is too bad. A bunch of people posting: "our team is red hot,
their team is diddly squat" in an echo chamber.
