Soon hopefully.
Not sure how they can pick girls when the u16 nationals hast even taken place.
Simmons, magbegor have to be locks because they both go to Coe.
Not sure anyone else would be guaranteed a spot at this point in time.
I'm not sure how this is a spoiler when it has no information? Will be interesting when the list is finally out though,
Not sure why it is a spoiler either.
Hard for the girls waiting when they see boys squad named but no girls. Hope they are not waiting for 16 nationals to finalise.
Lots of girls have been notified they are in, not sure of the delay.
These girls will be in the front court at worlds no doubt.
Possibly only 4.
Mcspadden
Cochrane
Pizzey
Magbegor
Batish
Nothing like last tournament when our Biggest girl was 6'1.
This time we have some legit bigs and surprisingly all good mobile shot blockers.
We will see, if they haven't been told by now...
Imo
2-3 of Abel, lehmann, Shelley, hurst, wynne, East, George, white, goodchild, Cubillo.
5'9 Simmons/5'9 Bourne
5'10 mole/5'10 McLean
6'2 Cochrane/6'3 mcspadden
6'3 magbegor/1-2 of pizzey, batish, Rees.
Possibly 1-2 of Anderson, fisher, Fuiava, McKay, Rowe, Satie, dangelo, Sutherland, motuga, simons. A few others in the mix... Including players that perform well at u16.
Are we talking barefoot Aus heights or shoes on US heights?

Hear the official invitations have now been issued. Is there a list published anywhere?
Only some of the squad have been named/notified so nothing has been published yet.

If the squad has not been named officially by BA how does Basketball Tasmania justify making an announcement on their facebook page regarding Abel and Mole being selected?
Interesting when the ones notified have been asked to keep it confidential.
Little Heal is in, Big sister has it splashed all over her Facebook page
That is Tas for you trying to promote their program at all times, the last paragraph is what it is all about.W
The young kids would be excited, not an easy secret to keep for weeks.
I had a feeling Abel and heal would be the pg's.
Possibly 1 other. I've seen a few photos of ahlise hurst and jazmin Shelley who are both on vic u16 roster.
Is there not many good top age pg's or something?
#529824 Young tassie girls didn't release it on Tas face book,someone higher up the chain!!has.
Well done girls.
The Under-17 Sapphires squad: Rebecca Abel (Queenstown), Ella Batish (Sandringham), Callie Bourne (ACT), Lucy Cochrane (Sandringham), Abby Cubillo (Darwin), Chelsea D'Angelo (Traralgon), Najvada George (Dandenong), Miela Goodchild (Southern District Spartans), Shyla Heal (Seahawks Gold Coast), Hannah Lehmann (Forestville), Cassidy McLean (Newcastle), Lara McSpadden (Newcastle), Ezi Magbegor (Coburg), Taylor Mole (Wellington), Ula Motuga (Logan Thunder), Rebecca Pizzey (Bulleen), Darcy Rees (Forestville), Kiera Rowe (Bulleen), Mia Satie (Perry Lakes), Jasmine Shelley (Moe), Jasmine Simmons (Western Reds), Samantha Simons (Forestville), Tayla Wynne (Ballarat)
Plenty of very talented kids in the squad, a few very lucky to make it, a few very unlucky to miss.
Good luck to the girls that made it; there are many possible combinations that could combine to make a great team.
C'mon guys...
What 12 players would you take to worlds Iyo?
PG Abel, Shelley
SG Simmons, George
SF Rowe, Simmons
PF Cochrane, Pizzey
C Magbegor, Cochrane again, don't see another centre
Sorry, Simons not 2 x Simmons
PG Abel, Shelley
SG Simmons, George
SF Rowe, Simons
PF Cochrane, Pizzey
C Magbegor, Cochrane again, don't see another centre
And as for 12, would add Goodchild and Hollingsworth (not in 23) and Mole as the extra tall.
Abel/heal
George/lehmann/Bourne
Simmons/McLean/Simons
Mole/Cochrane
Magbegor/pizzey
Taylor Mole (at around 6'0) is a bit more of a 3
one of Lara McSpadden or Darcy Rees should be the fourth big along with;
Cochrane/Magbegor/pizzey
They are taller for sure by 2-3 inches.
But being taller doesn't always make you A better rebounder.
Abel/heal
George/lehmann/Bourne
Simmons/mole/Simons
Cochrane/mcspadden
Magbegor/pizzey
Surprised there are not more u16s from Vic Metro, Cassidy Gould and Lana Hollingsworth in particular.
a few bigs from u14 last year I thought were quite good.
grace baron mcray looked like a good prospect. Earily similar to hellessey.
Maybe a a few years away. Good length and height. Moves really well.

Great to see Abby Cubillo picked. She's getting lots of court time and doing very well at the 1 spot with Shannon Seebohm's Hornsby Spiders in Waratah, so it's reasonable to assume that she'll be making the final squad.
Kids from u14 last year way to young to take to worlds.
Quite a few ahead of Frawley in the Vic Metro team, good six man for the u16 team at best.
You have to remember Heal is only selected in the squad not in the team. I see they still have 1 place because only 23 named.
Usa u16/17 announced.
Desiree Caldwell 5'6 g
Alex's Morris 5'6 g
Destiny Littleton 5'9 g
Honesty Scott Grayson 5'10 g
Jayda Adams 5'11 f
Andrea Espinoza hunter 5'11 f
Aquila de Costa 6'2 f
Lauryn miller 6'2 f
Bexley Wallace 6'3 f
Jade Williams 6'3 f
Valencia Myers 6'3 c
Sedona prince 6'7 c
6'7 at 16 pretty crazy...
They had 7-8 other girls around 6'6 and above competing for centre spots aged 14/15/16 during trials.
Don't forget you can take 2 inches off for US as they measure in shoes.
Magbegor is a legit 6'3" at 15, Cochrane 6'4" at 14.
Cochrane really 6'4?
Thought she was 6'2-6'3 like magbegor and pizzey. Around 190cm.
My final 12. Possible heights and positions.
Pg 5'7 Rebecca Abel 1-2/ 5'3 Abby Cubillo 1/ 5'7 shyla heal 1-2
Sg 5'10 jasmine Simmons 2-3/ 5'10 callie Bourne 2-3
Sf 6'0 Taylor mole 3-4/ 5'11 Cassidy McLean 3-2/ 5'11 Samantha Simons 3-2
Pf 6'4 Lucy Cochrane 4-5/ 6'3 Rebecca pizzey 4-5
C 6'4 eziyoda magbegor 5-4/ 6'3 Darcy Rees 5-4
I'm not sure. Too much recognition given to u14 club nationals. The leap of 2 years is huge.

Ridiculous that under 14 players are included. Make them play against the older age groups first before they are ready for Aus rep. Some older players have been left out when if you did match them up the younger players would struggle. They have plenty of time so let them develop and include the older players for their own opportunity.
Only younger player that has demonstrated being able to play older players is Shelley. Understand she plays Big V and does well.

You can list U18 players if they've been named in a squad. You cannot assess their merits or judge them. Guys, this is not a difficult to understand or follow rule.
Yes agree with the above post ALL the kids named in these Squads have all been chosen by the coaches because they all show potential to represent their country.
The boys 16 is published, who are the girls 16 going to the camp?
