I was so impressed with Arroyo Grande HS (Arroyo Grande, Calif.) freshman guard Kathleen Hutchens that I committed to my suggestion that she be scouted, even though I could only see her highlight clips for four years.
I heard UC Irvine sent someone to see her.
Hutchens hired an agency that seems to be in the business of creating college opportunities for high school players, but maybe that didn’t help.
She’s on UC Santa Barbara’s roster as a sophomore, and UCSB coach Bonnie Henrickson said they love having her. In 15 total minutes, zero turnovers, 2-of-3 shooting threes.
It gives me a reason to resume watching the Big West Conference.
