Future Sooners

Some one had posted last year a video of her 1600 meter championship, and I was impressed with her kick in the last 200 meters of that race. She was in third or fourth and blew past the runners with a great kick. What an amazing competitor.

The link to the race.

Kamy crossing the finish line!

What I love about that photo is Kamy looks like she could run another 1600, while the other two young ladies look to be pretty well exhausted.

I'm sure with her athleticism, she'll have no problem giving 110% for the full 40 minutes every game! She must have great stamina to run the 1600 for sure!

Thanks soonerhooper, unbelievable kick. Great win for Kamy.

The speed if the last fifty meters indicates that Kamy needs someone to push her. He had way too much left.

Yea, you're probably right. She does, but what it really indicates is she hates to lose!

I agree with you. I am not sure she had that much left in her tank in the last 100 meters but her strong will to win kicked in and prevented a loss. That kind of attitude is badly needed for athletes and I think will serve her well at OU.

Another article on Kamy Cole, this one from the Weatherford Democrat - http://weatherforddemocrat.com/sports/x1190396489/Cole-completes-1600M-hat-trick

First, I really appreciate the constant flow of information about OU recruits. Secondly, what comes after a hat trick?

Reading the story on Zander immediately above, I'm glad to hear that KZ has good defensive skills and works on it. We needed some more of that last year.

WOW!!!! The young woman is a beast. Her work ethic will serve her well this summer. Sounds like she is already anticipating summer work outs with Tim at OU and will be in excellent shape come pre-season practices. She could be the suprise catch of our new recruits.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Zander's workout routine is amazing for a high school player. If she continues to work hard on conditioning as well as skills at OU (which I believe she will), it will pay off on the court.

Maddie Manning not only plays basketball, but she also participates in track & field and volleyball. So when she finishes her AAU basketball this summer it will be on to volleyball again.
Last season in volleyball and in basketball only seniors were picked to the 1st. team All-State so Manning had to settle for 2nd. team All-State. She was one of only 2 juniors to make the 2nd. team and there was only one junior on the 3rd. team so Maddie should have an excellant chance of being 1st. team All-State in volleyball this coming season. http://www.ighsau.org/volleyball/2010/4aastate.pdf

That's great! Love the multi-sport athletes! Maybe she'll join the volleyball team at OU after her basketball eligibility expires, just like Carlee!

Turns out Manning is not with her AAU team playing in the tournament at Ames, but she decided to go to the T.O.P. Camp at OU instead.
Kamy Cole was there as well. We visited with her mom Kay and got to see all of our current team members as well as past players (Courtney, Ashley, Abi, Amanda and Carlee). Some changes we noticed Courtney and Cerina looked like they had lost some weight, but Whitney and Joanna looked they had lost the most weight. Whitney whom did not seem to have any problem at the camp earlier in the week now had a wrap on her knee during the afternoon session and seemed to be limping around, then in the evening her knee was unwrapped, but her ankle was wrapped up this time?

Others I saw at the T.O.P. camp saturday in addition to those mentioned in the previous post include Jamee Swan, 6' 3" Brianna Turner ( some are saying she will be the #1 prospect for 2014 and compare her talents to Candice Parker and Maya Moore) she played for Westbury Christian in Texas as a freshman last season, but may be going to Manvel next season (Manvel is a 4A school just south of Houston). From what I saw of Turner saturday her hype is well deserved.
Also saw a player I heard was on one of the DFW AAU teams that appeared to be about 6'6". I didn't hear her name, but she could have been Teaira McCowan a 2015 prospect. Another player from the Tulsa area reminded me of Andrea Riley.
Also got my first look at our new coach Pam DeCosta and I was impressed with the way she taught basketball skills, related to players and Kay (Cole) said she thought DeCosta was going to be a good recruiter and I agree.
Overall I saw many very good players at the camp from the past and current OU teams along with plenty of good prospects. The only negetive was Whitney limping, but maybe it wasn't too serious since she was walking on it, hopefully she will be back to normal by next weekends team camps.
