2023 Winter Non-UConn Recruiting Thread

[nwhoopfan]

I have no idea what recruits those were.

I might be misremembering, but I think they both made the cut lists for Dalayah Daniels and Jordyn Jenkins. Of course both transferred out of their original school, and Daniels ended up back home and wearing purple and gold eventually.

Nice pickup for coach Neighbors. From the Netherlands.

She's a great fit, for sure. Other offers from WVU, UCF, Mizzou, TTU, Arizona, and others.

Yes correct. I remember that. Daniels went to Cal, Jenkins went to the real USC.

 

[triaddukefan]

She needs to be in the blue and white. Not green and white

 

[triaddukefan]

Definitely needs to come to Durham

What interests me here is that a Cali kid from a well-known program announced five finalists...and not one is west of the MIssissippi River. For some reason, I don't think her decision and the break-up of the PAC 12 (as we know it) and the fact that UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington are going to be taking some hellacious road trips is a coincidence.

This one was a surprise to most Irish fans and I don't have a whole lot on her. But, if she's her father's daughter, can we expect a physical player with a featherly touch on the jumper? Zach was a big MSU guy...will that carry over to the new regime? Or will Walz ball be of interest? Head to one of the Carolina's? Or will she join the run and gun crew at South Bend? Stay tuned.

Surprise to gamecock fans also. We had never heard her mentioned before now. Are we just a fancy hat on the table?

I think both parents are from Indiana, so ND may have an advantage.

No offense to Michigan State, but i dont see why one would go there for wbb. Again no offense for any Spartan fans. Yeah... Im still bitter from 2009

Her dad went there...so probably why she is keeping it as an option.

Makes sense though. We did recruit her former teammate (Juju Watkins) pretty hard. It surprised me also, but it makes sense we recruited Randolph as well while we were on the west coast for Watkins and Kennedy Smith.

Michigan State hired Robyn Franck as their new head coach. She had great success at Division II Ashland and at Bowling Green. She may be able to create some juice that was lacking in recent years with Suzy Merchant.

I know Triad would be over the moon with excitement, should she select Duke.

Not to mention Michigan State fans owe Duke fans for dumping Joanne P. McCallie on us ...
A commitment from Randolph to Duke will help ease that debt.

That's an interesting interpretation of how she ended up at Duke. A little bit of a revisionist approach to history here I see.

Meet the 15 year old South Sudanese female basketballer Abuna Choi who is regarded as the tallest girl in Uganda , she’s currently under a hard training and still looking for an International Scholarship where she can execute her talent and also be able to continue with her studies

Her height amazes people, she’s said to be 6.9ft tall which is one of the tallest heights for a female athlete in the world

I wouldn't be surprised she has a 7 foot wingspan as well. Should be an excellent rim protector at the minimum.

My only concern is that she has the right people guiding her with respect to scholarship and development opportunities. Some of these African basketball associations have come under fire for mismanagement amongst other things. It's unfortunate when there are a lot of talented kids who deserve the opportunity if they love the sport.

A weird mix of schools, for sure.

This video shows her participating in a NBA Academy program.

It spells her name as Abuna Chol Awur which brings up more search results.
She must be about 18 - 19 years old now & has a Facebook page.

I'd forgotten about that part. Yeah, a commitment from Randolph, and two large Detroit style pizzas with sausage, hamburger, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and mixed peppers (sent to my house).. That would be a start. .

Hey now.

Right now Duke is short on bodies for next years projected roster, we need recruits in the worst way.

Appreciate the additional information. It's interesting how some information comes up as "new" only to discover it's outdated.

Hey now.

A couple of gift cards to Little Caesar’s will probably have to suffice.

Pizza! Pizza!

You probably are a youngster, but back in the day Little Caesars was a great chain. They would give you two pizzas, and didn't even put them in a box. Just laid them on a piece of cardboard and put a piece of paper on the top.

Oh I very much remember those days. They had a great crust. I want to say a garlic and parmesan treatment to it (been so long I can’t totally recall). Also the Crazy Bread was terrific. It was more puffed out and crusty rather than the solid strip of breading it is now. As a kid my friends would quite often ride our bikes to a LC next to our housing complex and buy us some Crazy Bread and then grab us some Slurpees at the 7-11 across the street. Great days.

I’ve gone long otherwise I would talk about how great Domino’s Pizza was back then. Another case where they had a fantastic crust. Now, chain pizza sucks. Better to find a local pizza establishment.

Ledo's is still pretty good.
