UConn fans should be very excited about the future of their beloved team.
Get ready for years of hearing "Dixon to Moore" (for 2 or for 3). Over and over.
I'll be amazed if Maya Moore is not chosen as MVP today.

I know you were lovin' that, Kris!
How'd the Texas girls do? Is there a chance Christmas could come to Austin with Coach G? :-D
Gilbreath is from Katy, might as well say Houston almost. ;-)
Thanks for giving us an idea about some of the nation's top high school talent. Your info is always very accurate!

Karima scored 4 points (2 for 7 from the field) in the game. She played 18 minutes and grabbed 5 rebounds picked up 1 steal.
Stefanie Gilbreath didn't play due to an injury she suffered in a practice before the McDonald's HS All-America Game.
I interviewed Stefanie after the game; and, I'll post the interview in the HRR's "Women's Hoop MP3s" Section.
Karima told me and a colleague she's committed to Duke. Period.
