This isn't exactly a premier league is it? I am not thinking the folks that assemble WNBA rosters are spending a single minute scouting USA players playing overseas. Even for foreign players they would only be looking at the youngest and maybe only the top five in the world of that group not already playing Div I in the USA. WNBA draft last year was only three directly from foreign teams and none of them a made roster.
They do.

I saw Ashley at the family restaurant on Tuesday afternoon; my sons were home and wanted a tenderloin. Ashley traveled for 22 hours and made it home for Xmas Eve. She and Kelsey were readying for the drive back to Ames after dropping Aubrey at the airport. She's had some fun experiences in Italy but was way more interested in talking Big XII WBB - she says getting up early to stream the ISU games is killing her - I think there's a seven-hour time difference. ISU Forever!

I would think playing overseas is more about maintaining fitness and working on parts of her game that are perceived weaknesses. I am sure she got plenty of feedback from Wings, Mercury and Aces coaches during WNBA season.

Since she is entering 2nd season, would think her agent can hook her up with WNBA team for preseason camp. Just about finding best chance to stick.

Dinamo Sassari lost the away game of a Euro Cup playoff to a French team on 1/11, and Ash had a mediocre game. Her roommate in Sassari, Deborah Hollingshead from Puerto Rico, had a decent game:


Dinamo Sassari is back in action tomorrow (1/14) with a league game.

Translation is a bit wonky but seems her parents were over to see her play.



Okay, the translation didn't come through. Here's what showed in my FB feed. It's sort of all over the place! :D


She was born in Cedar Rapids in Lynn County, Iowa, a flamboyant basketball family, four sisters, an incredible passion for dodgeball. Parents Brian and Lisa crossing the ocean to follow their daughter's first year out of the States, who has basketball in their blood. He attended high school in Yowa City, and became the all-time leading scorer. She finished her senior year with nearly 31 points and 12 rebounds average, and was crowned Miss Iowa Basketball.
In 2023 he won the Bobby Bowsly Award, which is the most prestigious award in college basketball.
WNBA Draft pick with No. 1️⃣9️⃣ in the second round from Dallas, he's already dressed in Las Vegas and Phoenix tanks. He won two gold medals with the US national team, the Under 19 World Cup and the Fiba Americas Under 18 in Mexico.
She arrived in Sassari having never played in Europe, she was catapulted into a completely different world from hers thousands of kilometers away. She had physical problems, she studied to fit in better with the group, she tried to understand what her role was in the roster of coach Restivo, who wanted her strongly in Sardinia.
After scoring 21 points with 7/15 from 3 points in one of the most important matches played at Bocconi against Sanga, he replicated with 20 points and 11 rebounds in another decisive comparison for the run to the playoffs, the one of Battipaglia that brought Dinamo back at number 8 in the rankings.
She is not a girl of many words, always very serious and concentrated, during the week she spoke to the children of Sassara schools as if she were a veteran, she never failed her commitment and professionalism, now she is only the field talking.
If Dinamo is in the midst of playoff scrambles and can pursue a useful place, it also owes it to the growth of Ashley Rose Joens, who was born in 2000, as a shooting professional.

Had no idea their family were avid dodge ballers!
