OK. That U-16 team with Cox, Holmes, and Durr also included Mulkey and Dungee. Exactly what political pull did Mulkey and Dungee have that caused them to be selected? Curiously, that same U-16 team won the western hemisphere U-16 with Durr, Cox, and Samuelson making the All-Tournament team along with Penzo. I've seen nothing celebrating how good Penzo was because she made the All-Tournment team. I did, on the other hand, see one claim that Penzo's making the All-Tournament team was political because they wanted someone not from the US (like the post from Canada who also made it). There always seems to be an excuse as to why the player who comes to OU is not that good.
Who, exactly, is it that says that the 2017 Texas players are all that good? It seems that there are suddenly a lot of Texas players on these national recruiting evaluation lists. Curiously, there aren't that many that become stars.
