Time to begin the predictions of the roster.. maybe a prize for those who get the most correct prior to the announcement

Any comments on this possible 15......

Might need to add Kristi Toliver to that list. According to their coach they're trying to do all the paperwork in time to get her the citizenship and all of the other stuff and that her future with the Polish NT should be clear by the end of March.

sg : Mowlik (exMiedzik) / Skobel
sf : Mieloszynska / Szott
pf : Zurowska / Kaczmarczyk
c : Kobryn / Piekarska

Leciejewska out

No wonder Kobryn has signed with New York Liberty.

18 names given for 1st camp. Probably from here it will be the final 12 picks.

G Paulina Pawlak (Wisła Can-Pack Kraków)
G Katarzyna Dźwigalska (KSSSE AZS PWSZ Gorzów Wlkp.)
G Weronika Idczak (INEA AZS Poznań)

C Izabela Piekarska (AZS Gorzów)
F/C Agnieszka Majewska (CCC)
F/C Ewelina Kobryn (Wisła)
C Aleksandra Chomać (Matizol Lider Pruszków)

I've bolded my 12 picks, it's not sure that Piekarska is healthy, she played the final 3rd place games with an injury and there is a chance she'll miss the Eurobasket prep season.

Apparently Kaczmarczyk, Mieloszyńska, Majewska won't be available for the Polish from the list above. But they've added Joanna Czarnecka. And Kobryn will join the team from New York Liberty of WNBA 5 or 6 days before the tipoff of the tournament.

Kaczmarczyk has a short gap cause of study, but she will join later.
Mieloszynska could come back to the roster if she cure Achilles tendom(final decision-about end of May).
Out of roster are Majewska(problems with spine) and Piekarska(next lady with knee).
To the roster was added Joanna Czarnecka(Tecza Leszno) as JohnyK wrote and also Patrycja Gulak-Lipka (Charleville Mézières, Francja), cause of problem with "big" players.

lol, too many changes from the original training camp roster, didn't even notice the removal of Piekarska and addition of Gulak-Lipka.

Last roster before medical examination (20-21 May)
Katarzyna Dźwigalska (KSSSE AZS PWSZ Gorzów Wlkp.)
Agnieszka Skobel (KSSSE AZS PWSZ Gorzów Wlkp.)
Agnieszka Kaczmarczyk (KSSSE AZS PWSZ Gorzów Wlkp.)

Poland preview by Paulball Nilsen: http://www.fibaeurope.com/coid_VXehI,5LJYojxrVSSCoKq2.articleMode_on.html

I wote this last week but because of EuroChallenge Weekend, it was a while before put on site so I now know injuries are more or less definite but idn't have time to adjust the story to make that a little more clear

Lucky Poles - Kobryn got waived from the NY Liberty and will probably join the team 2 weeks earlier than planned.

Polish roster set: http://www.plkk.pl/index.php?id=6865

guards: Katarzyna Dźwigalska, Paulina Pawlak, Anna Pietrzak

wings: Małgorzata Babicka, Agnieszka Kaczmarczyk, Katarzyna Krężel, Elżbieta Mowlik, Agnieszka Skobel, Agnieszka Szott, Justyna Żurowska, Emilia Tłumak

centers: Aleksandra Chomać, Patrycja Gulak-Lipka, Ewelina Kobryn

We had to many injuried players. And now, we can only watch the other teams in Łódź.
Good luck everyone from Poland!

What about Kobryn next year for Eurobasket qualification? Seattle Storm people seem to think she'll be in Seattle in 2012.
