Congrats to Russell and DeShields making the World University Games team that will be played in Korea starting July 6. Look for Cooper to come in hungry and fired up as she was cut from one of the three teams.
I was disappointed to see that Cooper was cut, but I did notice that Crystal Dangerfield from Tennessee, who is a year behind Cooper in school, was selected. Holly missed out on a good one there. I am excited to see Russell and DeShields on the court together this summer.
Not quite sure what you are talking about. Neither Cooper or Dangerfield were at the trials. Are you talking about the World University or Pan Am trials?

Cooper made the team last season and Dangerfield didn't. This year it's vice versa. Dangerfield let it be known early in her recruiting that she wanted to go to UConn. I think she was only waiting on an offer. When she got the offer, she committed shortly thereafter. If we can land Destiny Slocum or Kiara Lewis it will ease the rejection a little.
"Te'a was outstanding," Warlick said. "She did everything that I would have wanted her to do. In my opinion, I thought she was the best guard out here. She's a very talented player who is going to be a tremendous addition to our Tennessee team."
