April Recruiting Thread

[Mdoggie]

I think I might want Blanca more than Cierra. She seems to be getting stronger.

Cierra who?

After being spiritually, emotionally and physically drained with my last recruit disappointment, I’ve decided not to become too invested in the process. I will however go all in for Breya Cunningham.1 because she can flat out go and 2. She can play positions 4-5

You missed one of my posts. Shane Laflin just said there is big interest in Adhel Tac, 6-5 sophomore from Texas, and that "talk" is she might be the best big in the class.


Via MaxPreps:

Adhel Tac, South Grand Prairie (Grand Prairie, Texas)
6-5 | Center | Uncommitted

The name is short but the game is big: 14.1 points and 8.8 rebounds a game (with 63.4 percent shooting) for the 35-5 Warriors.

Her 2 older sisters played college ball, @ North Texas & Texas A&M-Commerce.

Often, youngest is best, partially from competing against older siblings & starting at younger age. KLS good example. Caroline Ducharme’s older sister played at Brown. Ciera Toomey’s older sister plays for Rider.

You need to grab a red bull or something to get reenergized because Mikaylah Williams is still out there and she can play 1-3.

Dear Basketball Gods, Saviors of the hardwood, kings of the courts, purveyors of hoop dreams. I come to you with one simple request. Cunningham, Williams and Olson to UConn. Thank you. That is all. For now. Oh and Kitts if you’re feeling generous.

I hope KK Arnold has her recruiting hat. Any program would be lucky to get a kid that works this hard (on both sides of the ball).

 

[nomdoux]

Hate to say but can’t see Kim Mulkey letting Mikaylah Williams leave Louisiana. She has HOF coaching bonified’s & has developed some of game’s best players.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

I've never heard of her..............haven't seen her listed in ESPN Hoopgurlz top 38........is she ranked with the other services?

Hadn't heard of her either.

Hadn't heard of her either.

well, in this video she looks like she can go both left or right and most important, holds the ball high when going to score

The cherry on the sundae for sure but will 3 top ten 2023 guards want to share sub minutes as freshmen?

Williams is not the cherry on the sundae-she is the Sundae and a bag a chips too. She could easily play SF while KK and Ashlyn are playing 1 & 2 respectively. According to some of the talent evaluators she is a Maya Moore level talent. Brett McCormick at ASGR calls her the best recruit he has ever seen. BTW long before Williams blew up I was hyping her up on the BY as the best defender in the class. She is a foundation piece of a program that can contend for a national title where ever she goes.

If Williams was willing to be a 3, at least for one year you could have her starting there, Paige and Azzi starting at the 1 & 2, with backups of KK and Nika at the 1, Ashlyn at the 2, and Caroline at the 3. I don't know how our bigs will develop but it is hard to imagine a roster with better players 1-3.

Does Sahara Williams compare to Mir McLean?

Similar size, compete level, rebounding prowess, defensive aptitude. Neither appears especially skilled beyond layup conversions. Wonder if Sahara is Mir-level athlete?

I'm fairly certain that a requirement to make All Iowa Attack is an ability to shoot 40% from 3. Here's an older video that showcases more of her shooting prowess:

I Googled Morgan Cheli recruiting and the first thing I see is her Twitter saying she's committed to Seattle U. If legit she passed on a Stanford offer in her backyard. I wonder how that happened.

 

[RoadMaster]

For the "read the tea-leaves" crowd.. ..lol
From Kate Kovall's ('24 6'5 Post) Instagram (fairly recent, I think)..
An interesting cameo appearance by some famed coach interjected (probably wrong technical term) into the video.

You should watch more of Williams. IMO, there's no comparison at the HS level. McLean had no offensive fundamentals coming in, and still has limited. The presence in the '23 class of Shade and Arnold might keep Williams away from UConn but somebody is going to get a gem.

 

[BobbyJ]

I mean Seattle U. lost to Utah Valley and UTRGV whatever that is. That choice doesn't make sense for academics does it? Can it possibly be for BB?

Cheli retweeted her friend’s (Noemie Bariteau) commitment to Seattle University.

SMH.

Cheli hasn't committed anywhere. I see what you see, but there's either a technical glitch, or that is a post about someone else re-tweeted by Cheli.

I can't see any reason Shade's presence would bother Williams. Shade's a guard/wing where as Williams is a small forward. No conflict there, imo.

she' the prototypical Stanford recruit..........don't think she's coming East......

Williams starts from day one for just about anyone............she's a guaranteed twenty plus a game scorer.......

You're talking about Mikaylah, my post was in response to Sahara.
