The travel itinerary between games is intense for Jeff Walz as he skips across the country to Portland when he hopes to persuade Oregon point guard Shoni Schimmel to join the Louisville women’s basketball team’s 2010 class.
Schimmel, a 5-foot-9 top 10 point guard, has narrowed her selections down to Oregon, Stanford, Louisville, Rutgers and Duke. She’s an innovative, game-changing point guard garnering Pete Maravich comparisons as a three-point specialist.
She was recently in town to see the Cards play UConn and returned home impressed with the large turnout and the fervor of the Louisville fan base.
Schimmel’s younger sister, Jude, is a 2011 prospect. Their Portland Franklin High School team is coached by their mother, Ceci Moses.

Other U of L recruits at the UConn game included Sarah Hammond, of Rockcastle County, and Kyvin Goodin-Roger and Makayla Epps, both from Marion County.
Kyvin is the daughter of Tick Rogers, former U of L guard, and Makayla is daughter of Anthony Epps, ex-Kentucky guard.
