Planning to become more active at Blue Sky & less so here. It's the same username there as here. I have other social media accounts in the usual places, send me a DM if you want to know where I'll be. I still have some seat cushions from my wedding for people who come with me!

🚨 NEW 🚨 Back again: Archbishop Mitty takes down SRV to reach sixth consecutive NorCal Open Division championship game mercurynews.com/2026/03/07/arc… @amhsathletics @DarrenSabedra @nathancanilao @GReeves23 @VytasMazeika @JensenPhil @WCALSports @CalHiSports @MitchBookLive @MikeNowels

@TheCoachDelgado @McKennaDub I’m saying there’s just as good a chance she’ll play for the Valks as against them! See in Sacramento (Golden 1 downtown) i’ll be wearing my now vintage collectible McDub shirt

@DavidGallagher @McKennaDub Just saying ... they'll probably host each NorCal tournament round (as the higher seed) before going to Arco. Should be a fun ride regardless!

San Francisco & Peninsula Friends! This time for sure, really your last chance to see my great niece @McKennaDub (McDub) & her fantastic Archbishop Mitty High School team play in San Francisco Friday night, Feb 27 6pm on the hilltop at USF's Memorial Gym

@MaxPreps @McKennaDub @JerzyRobinson @specialkayyy11 @mitty_wbb I’m lucky to say I have seen 4 of the 5 in person, it’s fine company but go McDub!

@coachbeechum @mitty_wbb @McKennaDub That is terrible AI portrait

Conceptually Thinking Basketball: Impeccable Résumé McKenna Woliczko (2026) — Archbishop Mitty (CA) 6’2” Forward | Jason Kidd Select @mitty_wbb @McKennaDub Résumé Status: McDonald’s All-American · USA Basketball Gold Medalist · Iowa Commit Classification: Elite National Prospect — Credentials at the Top of the Class Projection: Championship-Caliber Scoring Forward with Proven International Translation ⸻ The Core Reality McKenna Woliczko already owns one of the most credential-dense résumés in the 2026 class. National No. 1 program centrality. Repeated USA Basketball gold medals. Elite efficiency against international size. McDonald’s All-American validation. What prevents the résumé from being fully self-propelling is not performance—but data opacity around perimeter efficiency, playmaking load, and full EYBL statistical context. ⸻ Résumé Spine Across high school, USA Basketball, and national showcases, the role is consistent: featured frontcourt engine. As competition scales—from NorCal to national to international—production holds. That continuity is rare for a high-usage forward and forms the backbone of her elite status. ⸻ Scalable Production (Proven at the Top) Archbishop Mitty (National No. 1 Program) • Sophomore: 22.1 PPG, 8.4 RPG • Junior (pre-injury): 22.2 PPG, 8.6 RPG on 59% FG • Post-ACL return: ~20 PPG, ~10 RPG over first 10 games • Multiple national showcase takeovers, including 38 points and 17 rebounds at Nike TOC • Central scorer for CCS, NorCal Open, and national-title runs USA Basketball (International Translation) • U16 FIBA Americas: 11.8 PPG, 9.7 RPG, 62% FG — Gold • U17 World Cup: 12.4 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 2.4 APG — Gold, All-Star Five • Double-double-level production against elite global frontcourts Translation: High volume + high efficiency survives increased physicality and scouting. Few forwards in this class can say the same. ⸻ Basketball Intelligence Under Pressure USA Basketball trusted Woliczko as a starter in medal-round games across two cycles. That trust implies decision stability, even where turnover data is unavailable. Assist production at the U17 level (2.4 APG) from a scoring forward spot signals connective ability, though full creation metrics remain undocumented. Late-game performances in OT and title settings reinforce functional processing under pressure—even if not yet fully quantified. ⸻ Competitive Infrastructure Archbishop Mitty is among the least forgiving environments for résumé inflation. USA Basketball gold medals and All-Star Five selection further compress variance. If a résumé holds here, it rarely collapses later. ⸻ Market Trust Signals • Consensus top-10 national recruit • McDonald’s All-American (2026) • USA Basketball All-Star Five honoree • Iowa commitment as highest-rated recruit of the Jan Jensen era • Priority target for multiple national-title-caliber programs Independent evaluators converge. That convergence matters more than any single metric. ⸻ For a modern forward archetype, perimeter efficiency and decision clarity will determine whether her résumé accelerates from elite to inevitable. No evidence contradicts her trajectory. The uncertainty is informational, not structural. ⸻ Final Assessment Résumé Grade: Elite / Near–Reference Grade McKenna Woliczko’s credentials are firmly among the strongest in the 2026 class: national No. 1 program production, repeated USA gold medals with elite efficiency, McDonald’s All-American selection, and flagship Big Ten commitment. Trajectory: On track for All-American consideration. What remains is not validation—but completion of the public data record. #OWUEvalDay #ConceptuallyThinking #BuiltDifferent #PlayerTrustNetwork #ScoutingTruths [@PGHBrooks ] [@NXTPROG] [@JrAllStarBB] [] [@IGBRcoverage [@WorldExposureWB] [@_BlakeDerrick] [@WKGameBall] [@EconAdjunct] [@FiveStateHoops] [@OWUTALENT ][@PGHiowa ] [@JrAllStariowa ] @gemsinthegym

@ChadLeistikow @woliczko McDub is coming!

Since her early-January return from knee surgery, 6-2 Iowa recruit McKenna Woliczko has been selective but potent from 3-point range (4-for-5, 80%). Second shooter in this clip.

@coachbeechum @AWoliczko @McKennaDub @JKSelectGbb @mitty_wbb McDub!

CONCEPTUALLY THINKING BASKETBALL — GAME UPDATE @McKennaDub @JKSelectGbb @mitty_wbb McKenna Woliczko (‘26) | Archbishop Mitty (CA) | Iowa Commit Overtime losses compress the game until only structure remains. Against Ontario Christian, McKenna Woliczko wasn’t just productive — she was the team engine and the focal point operating under maximum constraint. 19 points. 13 rebounds. Those numbers weren’t additive. They were organizational. As the game tightened, Mitty’s offense increasingly ran through Woliczko rather than toward her. Post touches became stabilizers. Offensive rebounds became resets. Her presence dictated defensive attention even when she wasn’t the finisher — a clear signal of focal gravity. This is where engine value shows up. When spacing deteriorates and tempo flattens, Woliczko doesn’t chase efficiency; she creates it for others by anchoring possessions. The offense doesn’t survive overtime without her gravity pulling help, extending sequences, and re-centering decision-making. Conceptually, this is the difference between a high-usage scorer and a system piece that can carry load. She absorbs pressure, redistributes advantage, and still closes possessions herself when the margin demands it. That’s expected value at work — which just means the team’s best outcomes become more likely when the ball, the moment, and the math run through her. The outcome says loss. The film says engine. The projection remains intact. That’s Conceptually Thinking Basketball. #OWUEvalDay #ConceptuallyThinking #BuiltDifferent #PlayerTrustNetwork #ScoutingTruths [@PGHBrooks ] [@NXTPROG] [@JrAllStarBB] [] [@IGBRcoverage [@WorldExposureWB] [@_BlakeDerrick] [@WKGameBall] [@EconAdjunct] [@FiveStateHoops] [@OWUTALENT ][@PGHiowa ] [@JrAllStarIowa ]
