In fact, the biggest news regarding Delle Donne may be her new club team - the Comets from the Philadelphia area - with which she will debut at the Boo Williams Invitational this weekend. She reports that her new teammates have been very accepting and "just want to win." Delle Donne's longtime club team, Fencor, dissolved when coach Veronica Algeo took a new job that precluded her from coaching.

On the recruiting front, Delle Donne made a change to her list of six finalists, dropping Duke and adding Texas - essentially a nod to Gail Goestenkors, who recently accepted the head coaching job with the Longhorns. The 6-foot-4 sharpshooter also recently informed at least a couple of schools - Notre Dame and Stanford - that they no longer were under consideration.

"I definitely will take a trip to Texas because I respect Gail so much," Delle Donne said.

The change sidesteps a complicated situation with Duke, where Delle Donne's brother Gene originally attended on a football scholarship but subsequently transferred to Middle Tennessee, a school also among Elena Delle Donne's finalists.

Delle Donne's final six now includes Connecticut, Maryland, Tennessee and Villanova, in addition to Middle Tennessee and Texas. Delle Donne has been invited to the USA Basketball U19 tryouts, May 17-20, in Colorado Springs. She's planned to pare her list further after the tryouts, then perhaps make a decision in June.
