    Bernarda Rreshpja

    An update on Duquesne HS recruit Bernarda Rreshpja, from Albania, but who played her senior HS season @ Valley Christian Academy in the greater Sacramento CA area.

    Rreshpia finished her season scoring 797 points (26.5 PPG), 4th highest scoring average among California HS girls and  31st nationally.  She is a big combo guard (listed anywhere from 5'10 to 6'0) who can score in the paint (the kind of player Duquesne has needed), rebound, (and most  impressively)- score  from NBA 3-point range.

    I may be proven wrong on this, but Bernarda could be a 'sleeper' prospect who (because she has played in a small division league and because she only came to the U.S. this past season), played 'under the radar', not noticed by the well established Div. 1 schools- but Dan scooped her up.   Very encouraged.

    Re: Bernarda Rreshpja

    Dan informed me that there were a number of (USA) coaches at the last FIBA-U18 tournament, but Albania performed so badly that Rreshpia (who plays on the national team), didn't really get much notice.

    Rreshpia will need to work on some things when she gets to Duquesne, but Dan believes she has a huge upside; that the Dukes got a good one.

    Very encouraging.

    Re: Bernarda Rreshpja

    THANKS for the update -  With four players who have seen significant action over their careers leaving - the team will need SOME contributions from the incoming freshman class -  Hope somehow Nina will be 100% from Day one and stay healthy -  Staff has indicated one of the four freshmen will be red-shirted -  Wonder what will happen to Enika's scholarship -  If they feel there is a JUCO or graduate transfer out there who can help immediately -  if there is an unsigned (or player who might be changing her mind due to a coaching change) that the staff likes - or if they will hold off and use it next year.
