While Oscar Dixon's piece on the National team MIGHT suggest to me that he reads a certain blog for inspiration... we all know that he's one of the good guys and has always produced quality coverage of women's basketball.

'Sides, he has some scoop, which we have scooped. (seems only fair)

To bolster the roster, USA Basketball will announce as early as Friday that Loree Moore (New York Liberty), Kara Lawson and Rebekkah Brunson (Sacramento Monarchs), Asjha Jones (Connecticut Sun) and Candice Wiggins (Stanford) will be added to the squad.

So, now that there are TWO New York players on said roster, what are the chances the Liberty will think to put together a road trip to Trenton to see the team play Australia? Or maybe up to Connecticut? Heck, even an open practice at the local college John Jay? Wouldn't this be an obvious plan of action? I mean, jeez -- Blaze in on the Senior Selection Committee...

Sigh. I just hate living in the land of missed opportunities.

As a college side note: Interesting that Candice is coming, Candace and Sylvia are questionable, and no mention is made of Courtney.

Pssst! Sherri! Call me!
