Queen's University Lands 4 CWOSSA Grads in Recruiting Class

Last week, Queen's University women's basketball coach Dave Wilson announced his recruiting class for 2010.  Interestingly enough, he was able to wrestle four quality CWOSSA players out of Southwestern Ontario.

"This is one of the strongest recruiting classes in Queen's women's basketball history,” said Wilson. “We were looking at addressing three specific areas through our recruiting; improving our perimeter shooting skills, improving our perimeter ball handling/play-making capability, and adding some size/scoring punch to our post play. The (recruits) have allowed us to meet these goals."

Aside from Kingston local PG Liz Boag, all other recruits were members of CWOSSA schools --- and actually four members of the KW Lightning's Division I OBA champions.  They include:


Rachael Urosevic, 5'8" PG - Kitchener CI
Queens on Urosevic:   "Urosevic, a 5'8 guard who graduated from Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate, was the floor general for the Lightning's run to the OBA Championship. A knock-down three point shooter, she also possess excellent ball handling, passing and leadership skills. Aside from winning the OBA Championship, Urosevic has twice played in the OFSAA Championship, played for the renowned A-Game program for three years under coach Yaw Afful and was a member of U15 provincial team that won the national championship in 2006.  Urosevic was also just named as one of the participants in the 10th annual All-Canada Classic high school all-star game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto."

Lisa Minutillo, 5'9" G - Brantford North Park
Queens on Minutillo:  "The third guard to join the Gaels is Minutillo, who was a graduate of North Park Collegiate in Brantford. At 5'9", she is another outstanding three-point shooter whose knowledge of the game, combined with excellent court vision play-making capabilities will make her an instant asset to the Gaels. Last year, she was a tournament all-star at the Queen's Tindall Invitational Tournament."

Gemma Bullard, 5'10" G/F - Guelph JF Ross
Queens on Bullard:  "Bullard, a 5'10 forward from John F. Ross High School in Guelph, is a current member of England's U18 National Team that will compete at the European Division B Championships in Romania later this summer. She is described by Coach Wilson as a multi-dimensional player who can handle the ball, attack the basket and knock down shots from beyond the three-point arc."

Jordan Tomas, 6'0" F - Waterloo SJAM
Queens on Tomas:  "Tomas is a 6'0 post player from Sir John A. MacDonald High School in Waterloo. Coach Wilson describes her as having a tenacious competitive spirit that allows her to be an excellent rebounder that can finish around the hoop. Tomas joined Urosevic in capturing the 2006 U15 national championship where she was the team captain for Team Ontario. She has also been involved in both the Canada Basketball Centre of Performance program and the Ontario Performance Enhancement Program."


It will definitely be interesting to keep an eye on the Queen's program over the next few years.  Congratulations to all and best wishes for the future!
