I was watching the championship game of the Iolani Classic in Hawaii between Mitty & Salesian. I believe that the player identified by the game announcer was 6-2 soph PG Morgan Cheli. Mitty (7-0) defeated Salesian by 3 points and Cheli was MVP of the tournament.

I only viewed the first half but AM is rebuilding after seven seniors graduated. HC Sue Phillips
still uses a 9 player rotation and presses the entire game. She either implements a full court press
or a half court trap. The latter is a double-team of the dribbler when she crosses the half court line.

Cheli has length, speed & athleticism which enables her to tip balls and get steals. She also is a pure PG that does not look for her shot the majority of the time. She usually passes the ball to her teammates but will shoot when an opportune pass comes her way. I saw #33 hit a three pointer from the right corner at the end of the 1st quarter that put the Monarchs ahead by three points.

Can one of the insiders here check out this information to validate the offer, please? She would be the first Archbishop Mitty PG offered by the Bears since KI (Kristin Iwanaga). GO BEARS!

Looks like she has an offer per her twitter

I had read she was very good, up there with Lee and Peterson in that classboth of whom have had Cal offers (and beyond) and are top 20 nationally, so I would expect her to have an offer too.

Thank you @21charmin for an awesome unofficial visit & for the offer to join the Cal WBB family! https://t.co/7HzVPbtOMB

Thank you, everyone! Do we know who the other young lady is with Charmin & Morgan? She's probably another recruit. The 2024 class has lots of California girls in it including Lee & Peterson, both 6-3! GO BEARS!

Cheli will go wherever she wants. Offering elite players is pretty meaningless, really ...

Lee is a 5'11" guard, there was a typo listing her at 6'2" or 6'3" that got repeated in one of her profiles

Peterson is indeed 6'3" and has emerged on UConn's radar.

That's Clay. Seems always negative on Cal's recruiting!

Well said.

wbbilluminati: thanks for the correction on Lee's height.

I was incorrect that Cal has had only one PG from Mitty. We have a second one now in Karisma Ortiz, a 6-0 transfer point guard. I hope that she can help the coaching staff secure Morgan Cheli's commitment. GO BEARS!

I take the unofficial visit as an indicator of mutual interest.

There is a diifference in being offered and accepting. We know who accepted but we have no idea who was offered.

Good point about offering Cheli ... why not? What I meant by "meaningless" is that every school is interested in elite players like Cheli, so the "offer" doesn't say much.

It would be nice if it meant Cheli had some serious interest, and it might mean that. She would be a great get.

Recruiting is difficult and there aren't enough elite players to go around. For example, Sayvia Sellers of Anchorage Christian will be at the Nike TOC, and if she hasn't been seen yet, she will be by literally hundreds of college coaches. If she appears to be a difference-maker at the P5 level, college coaches will be contacting her club and high school coaches to gauge her potential interest in their school, and from there offers will follow.

As mentioned, visits begin to tell the tale of mutual interest. I believe official visits are limited to six schools, so there's some info there. That said, Cheli doesn't need to waste an official visit on Cal -- she can just drive over, and save one of her six for a place she has to fly to.
