North Star Girls Hoops listed her as a player to watch heading into last season's state tournament...

Elaina Jones, DeLaSalle, 6-0, junior, wing

Jones took some time earlier this year becoming integrated into her new team, but as the year went by her impact kept on getting bigger and bigger. Now, in the biggest game of the season, Jones led all scorers with 24 points as the Islanders defeated #1 seed Mahtomedi 47-41 to return to the state tournament. Always a terror on defense and on the boards, she has now also become a slasher who gets open shots at the rim off the dribble just by getting to the rim too quickly for the defense to react.

It's great news that ISU will have a strong recruiting class again. But signing five players when we have 14 on scholarship this year and only three seniors implies that another player will be leaving after this season. Since I don't think Seton and the staff would sign this many players just-in-case, it probably means that someone has told the staff that this is their last year.

B40: That is always a possibility of course as is the fact that transfers are also now a reality at all levels of the game in all areas of the country. That may also be in play here.
