LOI Day 2011

Just a reminder that Wednesday is Letter of Intent day for Soccer, Track and Field, and Cross Country.

If UP follows true to form, we won't get an official release for a month or six weeks ( or even more).

But Prep schools, high schools, club programs, etc. Like to brag on their athletic successes, so we probably will get signing news.

We know most of the signees, but Keep you eyes peeled. We may get a surprise or two. Soccer especially had a big graduating class, so there is room on the roster.

You would think ESPNU could work it into their 10 hours of coverage. Gridiron football's not that big a deal, right?

Football is Wednesday too?

Who knew?

Adding the unexpected player or two to this year's class would be a pleasant surprise . . .I hope, Geezer, you have reason for implying the possibility and hope further that it will be someone that may crack the starting lineup, though that may be too much to hope for.

Any transfers coming perhaps?

Given that you took no classes at the U, I doff my almost unused cap in your direction. Your loyalty to Pilot athletics is refreshing--where would this site be if you felt otherwise?

Go Pilots!

Ditto, wrv.

here's a direct approach to LOI Day:

It's Signing Day. Remember pledges, broken promises mean broken kneecaps. Just sayin.

Kaila Cameli would, to my rather limited recollection, be the first women's team JC transfer . . .but I await correction. The announcers may have some fun if she is on the pitch with Micaela Capelle . . .

Anyone want to fill in on her success at Phoenix College?

Go Pilots!

... never was good at keeping a secret ...

Here's a strictly secretive note about our apparently unannounced commitment:

Within her league, hard to do better . . .

High school track 2007 best of 12.47 100m

Well, it is expected she will sign, and the cat won't go back in, so here goes...

She was indeed her conference POY, based  on  an output of 22 goals and 12 assist this year. That was also good enough to get her a first team junior college All American selection. It would be hard to find that out, though, because the national folks misspelled her name as.  C a r n e l i

It's also good enough to be a Phoenix College single season record. That's significant because the previous record was 18 and 10 held by UNC 2008 striker Jessica McDonald, who went to UNC after a stint at Phoenix. UNC won it all that year.

 PC records show she signed a letter of intent the last two years
http://www.njcaa.org/colleges_college_intent.cfm?collegeid=1247&sid=31&slid=16&category=Intent
maybe she was hurt the first year. i find no stats for her for 2009, but she was in the 2009 media book.

It appears she has 3 years left of eligibility

High School: Apollo
Hometown: Glendale, AZ
Personal: Born on December 27, 1990, Kaila is
the daughter of Mike and Mary Cameli…She

her soccer goals in HS are sketchy, although she did score 31 goals in 2006 for Apollo HS 
I don't see any club or ODP records on her. it looks like she played high school only.



it looks like she has great speed. i hope it translates to D1

some track times:

In addition to her relays, she had the fastest time 12.44 in Arizona in the 100m and 200m in 2006

http://www.athletic.net/trackandfield/division/Top.aspx?DivID=774
She was a tad slower in 2007

her sister Karli may be faster. I wonder if she plays soccer?



Kaila and Macdonald raced agaist each other in high school
Different heats and wind, though, so it's not a direct comparison.

From my perspective, more enjoyable than wikileaks . . .

For the record, Irish78 is NOT facing charges in any scandinavian country.
