It's pretty common these days. These kids are just having fun and aren't hurt hurting anyone. Someone like Aneesah was highly underrated out of high school and never recruited like this so I say let her have her moment. Here are some more examples below of others doing it.

I agree with this. It seems pretty common. I distinctly remember Dyaisha Fair's post last year with Dawn Staley. I thought it was cool for her and must've been a moment for her.

The post that i thought was a bit over the top for Morrow was the video. But I do think it's marketing in a sense and trying to squeeze every opportunity to capitalize off the decision.

On a basketball note, anyone concerned with her size, and how that impacts a team defensively. Watching highlights, she looks like she may be even shorter than 6'1. Conversely she looks to be a better shooter than her percentages from last year kinda reflect.

For collegiate basketball I am not concerned about her height. The way she is able to make use of her overall size often negates the size advantage in most cases. Similar to how Naz Hilmon succeeded at Michigan.

I think a team in which she's not asked to do so much will likely help her to find new ways to use her size more effectively. Although I do believe if she wants a pro career she'll have to transition to the 3 position. So who she chooses could have huge ramifications as to what happens professionally.
 
Aneesah’s followed a couple USC players and Coach Lindsay Gottlieb, which she seems to be doing in moderation. Appears that Juju Watkins is in on her recruitment as well.
 
I remember when Megan Walker was going through the recruiting process out of high school. She posted a photo of herself on social media either in Texas gear, and/or with the Texas coaching staff and her family in her living room. Somebody else then kind of ran with it on social media implying she had verbally committed to Texas. Walker then tweeted that she had not made a college decision and had not verballed to Texas. Back then, I would have loved if the #notcommitted hashtag was a common thing! :D

What is the sudden surge at Southern Cal? Someone decide to open up the NIL checkbook to restore their women's hoops program?

Is there any proof of that? Reason why I ask is I recall Watkins having her own NIL deals before committing. USC looked a lot more competitive last season in comparison to previous years too. Not saying it doesn't have some impact, but it may not be the only reason people are attracted to USC nowadays.

I was asking. So, you think there are reasons other than NIL that Morrow would have Southern Cal as one of her 3 finalists? It certainly isn't recent post-season success, proximity to home, etc.

Why couldn't there be? Sure USC hasn't shown much in the form of tournament success but their trajectory seems to be going upwards. The same question was asked when Watkins chose the program over others in California that offered the potential for more post-season success.

I'm just finding the NIL talking point to be a bit of a crutch when talking about why players are transferring. Morrow is in a position where she could strike her own NIL deals like Clark, Van Lith, and others have without the help of a school program.

or why some schools are having less success in recruiting.

So, she could stay at DePaul and do that? But, she isn't.

Yes she could have and yes she left. At the same time, look at DePaul's performance while she was there. They barely made the tournament when she was a freshman (if memory serves correct) and didn't this last season.
Looking at the team before she transferred out along with others it didn't seem like this team was going to be competitive next season. She could have left DePaul just for that reason if you ask me.

I think your comment is in regards to schools using NIL as an excuse to save face? I could see that. Reminds me of what Saban said last year that Texas A&M* t took offense to last year when he said something similar to get the Alabama base riled up to support.

*corrected with the assist from @southie

At least you know why the it is better for players to post hastag when they are wearing lthese uniforms on recruiting visits.

I think the bala in the ACC has shifted a bit.ND on top, then UNC, VPI and then Louisville, Miami, Duke, Virginia and then NC State. With some movement of players unknown.
