In the latest edition of "I feel old", Sydney Huber is making some waves in the class of 2025. You may be familiar with her mom, Stacy (Frese) Huber.


Looks like she's already got a height advantage on her Mom.

Since this update is in regard to the Blue Star GBB Circuit, I'd just compile all the recent news in this post.

Stacy Frese Huber just coached her daughter Sydney's team (Team Iowa 14U Elite) to the league champion of their age group. Sydney Huber (6' SG, still wearing her mother's #4) made the league's all-star team. They will be playing in their summer finale next weekend in Ames. Imagine Sydney playing on Coach Fen's team in 2025.

She's working as a coach and skills trainer for Kingdom Hoops DSM (originally founded by Jake Sullivan). She recently coached their U15 Elite Team to a Blue Star Nationals Tournament Champion. I hope she can help find and recruit some future Cyclones.

Thanks to mred for the recruiting update. It's amazing that both girls who receive the offer haven't even played a high school basketball game yet (like Lexi Donarski and Jenica Lewis). Journey Houston also received an offer from TOE on July 14 and it became local breaking news with both of them being mentioned.



Both girls play for the All Iowa Attack 10th Elite Team with Arianna Jackson as their teammate. Their team will go down to North Augusta (SC) later this week for the Nike Peach Jam National Championship. Will sure to keep a closer eye on all of them.



Journey Houston's mom has a YouTube channel for her children. But you can check out both of their plays in the following highlights.

If we were to land Huber, BF would potentially coach mother and daughter.

That would have to be extremely rare, right?
