Reimer named to U-16 team

UConn recruiting target Taya Reimer, a 6-foot-3 forward from Hamilton Southeastern High in Fishers, Ind., was one of 12 players named to the U-16 national team.


Reimer and the other 11 players survived four sets of cuts as a field of 120 players was pared down to the final 12.

The team will remain in Colorado Springs, Colo. to train before leaving for Mexico to compete in the 2011 FIBA Americas U16 Championship.

Mercy sophomore Sadie Edwards, the only Connecticut player at the trials, survived the first two cuts but when the roster went from 53 to 34, she was one of the players who did not make the list.

Highly publicized Brianna Turner did not earn a roster spot.

From the HoopGurlz evaluation "Similar to previous No. 1s ahead of her, (Maya Moore, Candace Parker, Brittney Griner) Turner won the genetic lottery of 2014."

Everyone has their opinions. :)

Jim, is Turner on UConn's recruiting radar? Thanks.

You will never see me categorize a high school freshman as a recruiting target of UConn's. It's just too early in the process.
