Cayla Francis for me. She's hot.

Go Mavs'

"Bootleg's buddy" who the hell are you, you're steeling my Mogo man.

why be so surprised top age u18s are making it

that is the norm now - there are even a few top age u16s playing seniors

good on them

you clearly weren't at the North game Saturday night. Agreed: Cayla has potential, and had a few solid games, but has a lot of work to do on her game before she makes the Gems.

I have. Have you? She's got no competition in this league, hence her success so far. Put her up against players of her stature and athleticism (which are currently in the Gems squad) and see how she goes...

cayla still has a lot of learning to do, and to come up against these bigs in the gems would be tough for her...physically and mentally...but no doubt she would do awesome!

who are the U'16 girls who are in the ABA??

Madgen is a player. Great potential.

Are there any others you know of?

Jealous, jealous, jealous. That is all I can say. Cayla may have some shortcomings but this girl can play and she is only 15, just look at her playing ABA. Hey all you anons there tell us your name, don't hide. Can't you take that people talk about her not you. It is easy stabbing people in the back  put up or shut up  cowards!!!! Cayla has great future in front of her and she is a nice kid too leave her alone. Prove yourself against her on the bball court, or are you afraid that she will kick your behind?

YEH SHE HAS GAME, BUT SHE HAS ONLY INDIVIDUAL GAME, YOUR OBVIOULSY A BIG FAN OF HERS, AND NO DOUBT SHE WILL MAKE IT BUT ALL WE'RE SAYING IS SHE HAS SOME LEARNING TO DO EG PASS THE BALL...AND ABA ISNT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF BASKETBALL COMPETITON, ANDYONE CAN DOMNINATE IN THAT IF THEY TRIED THEIR HARDEST....AND THATS WHAT CAYLA IS DOING. AGE DONT MEAN SHIT, SO DONT SAY "& SHES ONLY 15" SHE HAS BEEN PLAYING THE SPORT MOST OF HER LIFE SO SHE HAS GOOD REASONS AND IS EXPECTED TO BE GOOD! CHECK THE AIS WEBSITE....THERE ARE ALOT OF KIDS ONLY 15-16...SO SHE AINT TO YOUNG TO BE OFFERED A SCHOLARSHIP....AND NO I AINT AFRAID SHE WILL KICK MY BUM COS I KNOW FOR A FACT SHE WOULDNT......;)

real baller you are a real pathetic jelous shmack with chip on your shoulder. This forum is not for people like you to rubish junior players. She may have some learning to do, so what. Stay positive and leave juniors alone. They have they own coaches to tell them what they do right or wrong and dont need your garbage trumpeted all over the place. If you think that anyone can dominate in ABL if they try their hardest you obviously have no idea - stop drooling.

Hey real, what are you doing in front of the computer at 19.11 hour. Should't you be playing ABL or maybe watching before you comment on it?

2 words for you all...Ellie Manou!! She's a 15 year old kid who started playin ball at the beginnin of last year and is already at the institute and has been brought into the gems program! the kids got some serious game and thats the name you should all be talking about!!!

(Mod: Don't post under different names to support your point.)

anon i think your the one who should be getting ur head outta the clouds!!! the tute kids have too much on their plates to come on a silly forum like this and bag out a girl that is probably friends with them all.

(Mod: This person is posting from the AIS)

The posts critical of Cayla Francis and then suggesting that it is not AIS kids posting are coming from the Ausport.gov.au network in (surprise, surprise) Canberra...

Busted!

that is really poor form on the AIS's behalf. Would the coaches know their 'elite' athletes are rubbishing our up-and-comers?

Yours and the other posts are all coming from the AIS network. Simple fact. How do you know that it wasn't any of the AIS basketball girls? You don't see the posters IP. I do.

Well, well, well. I wonder who is rubbishing the competition and why? Some elite. Shame on whoever it is.
