What kind of knee problems? Are you saying that is why she isn't with the team?
I had read that she left because of a family issue. |
Unfortunately, that's all I know ... and it was a rumor, not confirmed by anyone who would have inside knowledge.
Family issue could be the reason as well.

Does anyone have a link about Katie Lou not being on the U-19 team. Also is there an update on her status?

Katie Lou in some training routines.
Her handle is really progressing.
Note what kind of training moves are completely absent, though she's really good there too.

The U19 played their first exhibition against a tough Australian team and pulled out a tight 85-82 win.
There was a lot of physical play and fouls, with 2 Aussie girls fouling out. A'ja Wilson led the way for the US team with 30 points on 8-19 shooting - including 14 for 14 from the free throw line - and 11 rebounds. Crystal Dangerfield added 12 pts on 4-12 shooting as well as 4 assists and a team leading 4 steals, and Mariya Moore had 11 pts (also on 4-12 shooting) and 8 rebounds with 5 assists, which led the team.
The overall shooting % wasn't good for the US team as they shot 38% to Australia's 44.4%

Wow. I thought the WUG was struggling. This is not a good result for USA. Teams are much bigger than this AUS team and we have no shooters. MM plays most minutes and she is 4/12 and 1/6 LOL.

In the same tournament, Spain beat Canada 63-53 (Salvadores 20, Raventos 10, Cazorla 10 and Carleton 15, Provo 11. Spain will probably add 5 players from their U20 team. USA vs Canada tomorrow.

We have shooters. Patberg can shoot. Ortiz can shoot. Stevens can shoot. I don't know if Dangerfield is much of a shooter or not.
As for Moore, this sounds like the WUG team - if your coach is on the bench you play twice as many minutes as you should play.
It's an exhibition. Don't you want your least experienced players to gain experience so they can be ready to help when the games count? So why did Cox and Anigwe bairly get their warmups off?

Samuelson left the U-19 camp for home because of a family matter (not an injury). She won't be with the team for the current tournament in Spain but may join the team for the Worlds.

They finally on the USAB website officially give the reason why Katie Lou Samuelson is not with the team in Spain:
"Katie Lou Samuelson (Mater Dei H.S./Huntington Beach, Calif.) returned home during the USAs training camp due to a family issue and will not compete in the Spain U19 International Invitational."

USA leads Spain 22-12 after first quarter.
In the earlier game, Canada beat Australia 67-60. But that game was 61-40 after 3 quarters before a furious comeback by the Aussies.

Interesting roster choice. They added Patberg who can handle either guard spot but instead of replacing Samuelson with another shooter/wing they add a point guard in Destiny Slocum. The conspiracy theorist in me will say Destiny Slocum was added since she is being recruited by a coach on the USA U19 team, as opposed to positional need but that's just hypothesizing.

I just received 4 phone calls about the same topic. I was told one of the reasons she opened up her recruitment was to make the USA team.

Well she didn't make the team at first and only got added because of Samuelson pulling out, so I don't know if that rationale was wise. Didn't Kelsey Plum just make USA Basketball? I mean that sounds like a weak excuse to me.
