USA U16 roster

Each of the interviews appears to be with someone who would be a valuable person on a team. It is interesting that one said that everyone was good.
 
Directly from Chelsea:

Chelsea Dungee ‏@ChelseaDungee22

Thank you for ALL the prayers and support! I MADE THE USA TEAM!! I am truly blessed and honored to represent the USA in womens basketball!!!
 
Maybe, she is good. It looked like all of the finalists weren't bad. The reviews were pretty strong.
 
Here is a post by Nancy Mulkey:

nance. ‏@mulkeynancy 1m

I didn't make it but the girl that they called that is hurt and don't know what's wrong, I'm an alternative. so they want me to stay.

I had previously read a post by Nancy whereby she said she played like crap. I think that was on day 2. She apparently came back and impressed the coaches enough to at least be added as an alternate. The girl who was injured is Tori McCoy who reportedly suffered a concussion one the first day of trials. If she recoups in good shape, Nancy probably will be eliminated. Everyone raves about McCoy from Illinois.
 
I kind of got the impression that Mulkey is considered more from the standpoint of long-term potential than current readiness.
 
You have to tip your hat to the two girls who were not invited to the trials but still made the team:

Sabrina Ionescu (Miramonte H.S./Walnut Creek, Calif.);
Taylor Murray (Annapolis Area Christian School/Odenton, Md.)
 
At this age, I suspect that so little is known about the difference in quality between these players that they might have invited five hundred and still missed on some. What will be interesting to these players is that they all saw what they need to do to be among the best. They saw what they have to work on for the next couple of years. Who will, and who won't?

I love the fact that Chelsea is athletic, skilled, and loves to play defense.
