It seemed like clickbait to me. I don't think anyone has a clue where Kneepkins is leaning.

I note that the article was published on April 23, but mentions playing alongside Londynn Jones in UCLA's backcourt... after Jones had committed to Southern Cal. So... that doesn't show much familiarity with what's happening.

At this point, UCLA has Kiki Rice and Charlisse Leger-Walker in the backcourt. You could say that Gabriela Jacquez is probably going to see time at the 2, as well. That's it.

Thought I saw that Skim was saying UCLA or Oklahoma?

I’ve seen no indication SC is a favorite landing spot for Kneepkins. I think the article is meant to lay out why Kneepkins could work at any of her options, but it has a catchy headline to attract eyes.

Maybe that writer knows something we don't.

A week after Kneepkens visited South Carolina, I see that she has started following Maryam Dauda on Instagram, and is now being followed by Adhel Tac. If those follows had happened one week ago, it would seem appropriate timing-wise. But, one week after her visit to SC, and a few days after her subsequent visit to UCLA causes me to believe she is South Carolina bound.

That could mean something...and it could mean nothing. She follows Kiki Rice and Coach Close along with Raven Johnson and Azzi Fudd....lol. She is a basketball player who follows other basketball players and coaches. I would think South Carolina would be her best spot but who knows what she is thinking. What she thinks is all that matters...lol.....

It's all about timing, though. "Recent" follows after all visits have been completed could mean more; we'll find out soon.

So no one is going to take the scientific approach, a la Beautiful Mind? ;)

Makes sense with Texas signing Judd and I don't think a starting spot is guaranteed at South Carolina. There isn't a starting spot guaranteed at UCLA either. Oklahoma makes the most sense on paper as she'd start from day 1 and Oklahoma would have a really good starting 5 of Chavez, Kneepkens, Williams, Verhulst and Beers.

We're all guessing and reading the tea leaves, including this account. But I think it can be inferred that Texas is out of the picture just based on recent developments...but maybe not. Skim Milky thinks UCLA is in the lead but no one really knows anything. South Carolina staff still feel like they have a chance and most South Carolina players started following her social media accounts over the past 24-48 hours so that could be a good sign for South Carolina.

Tea leaves it is!

I don’t know how to interpret social media follows. Maybe it means the other players haven’t voiced any objections to the coach.

Not sure what exactly is happening with Gianna Kneepkens. But, last night Texas' Kyla Oldacre started following her on Instagram, and vice versa. This was after I had noticed a couple of days ago that a couple of South Carolina post players had started following her on IG, and vice versa.

Just a few minutes ago, all 3 of the Texas assistant coaches (Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton, Elena Lovato, and Blair Schaefer) started following Gianna on Instagram. That is very unusual timing if her official visit to Texas was like 2 weeks ago.

Anything is possible.

If Texas had conceded Kneepkens because of the addition of Ashton Judd, I doubt all the assistant coaches would start following her on Instagram a day after Ashton Judd committed to Texas; their pattern has been to follow transfers on social media early in the process, not this late in the process. Perhaps the reports of when Kneepkens took her official visit to Texas was inaccurate and she is barely making her visit now. I think most were expecting/predicting Kneekpkens would make her choice known after her "final" visit to UCLA last week.

Last week, recent grads and those about to graduate entered their names in the portal. So why not members of the Class of 2016?!

A women’s basketball player who graduated in 2016 just entered the transfer portal

Janae Jackson graduated from Youngstown State in 2016. Last week, she entered women’s basketball’s transfer portal. With the House settlement looming, players hope eligibility rules change.

My wife went to Central CT on a basketball scholly. She only used 2 years then dropped out. I'm gonna tell her to jump in the portal - she's 75 years old now. Maybe somebody will take her on just for the novelty! Get some of that "Granny" NIL money!! Plus she said she could finally get some top notch medical coverage. ;)
