We need a …”Girl, stop playing!” emoticon. 🤣
She’s the kind of long skilled wing we could really use…Wow major blow for Texas. I know they have wings coming in but Crump is a stud and will be one of the most coveted transfers this cycle.
Her finalists were Texas, Duke, and Ohio State. I could see her fitting in well at at either program. Duke graduates Ashlon Jackson and Ohio State loses Chance Gray, Crump would fit in well replacing either of those 2.
I wouldn't be shocked if programs like UCONN, UCLA or Vanderbilt make a push for her. She'll thrive a program that prioritizes perimeter shooting and spacing the floor on offense.
Crump and Carlton possibly felt that Ol Vic was recruiting over them by bringing in Crittendon and Bjorn for 2026.
So what turned Crump off on Texas after wanting Bjorn to join her there?No. Crump was a big reason why 2026 Bjorn signed with Texas in November; they played club ball together. Hope Bjorn still comes to Texas, but there's already been two 2026 signees in Olivyah Edwards and Trinity Jones who asked to be released from their signed LOI's.
Carlton had a lot of ups and downs at Texas her first two seasons; some felt she would transfer out after her freshman season one year ago. Her younger 2026 sister signed with Houston in November.
Oklahoma will need a Center with Beers departing. Perhaps Crooks would be a good fit there if she decides to enter the transfer portal.
I have no idea if this applies to Crump, but with the money growing ever larger in WBB, street agents and other illegal and/or unethical middlemen are contacting players directly and shopping them under the radar. I have no doubt calls are being made to players by street agents saying, “I have a school in a P4 conference that’s interested in you and I can get you XYZ if you sign with me.”So what turned Crump off on Texas after wanting Bjorn to join her there?
Carlton might now be among the top three targets for Uconn, along with Addy Brown and Lara Somfai IMO. They were among the finalists for both Carlton and Somfai when recruiting them.
