New Recruit Research

The USA team appeared to be mostly composed of relative newcomers to the team. I haven’t seen an official roster, but I was able to do some top level online research of some of the new recruits. (And, of course, being online research via Instagram, LinkedIn and old college sports bio pages there’s bound to be some inaccuracies). That said, here’s what I found out:

• Jessica Kuster-Medina
  • Age ~34, 6’2″ Rice University (2014), D-1 Basketball athlete, 6 year pro
  • And, not just a “D-1 athlete”, but perhaps the all-time greatest basketball player in Rice history. Really? Yes, really. Check out this video: Link

• Katie Timmerman
  • Age: ~26, 5’9″, Concordia (2023), D-2 Basketball athlete, 2 year pro
  • Actually, started playing in 2023, but took a 2 year hiatus to play basketball in South Korea. Check out this recent podcast for more information: Link
