Shes from South Carolina so im sure we all know where she most likely will land in 3 years..

No doubt, Dawn has been working her but so has Clem's Son and everybody else in the South.

She may not want to play at a school that's at the level of UConn or where Dawn is hoping to have her program.

UConn and SCar will both be loaded for the next few years with "5-stars." She may be after playing time and the chance to be THE prima donna early. Hard to do that when everybody on the team is super talented. Perhaps she wants to show her stuff as a true freshman right out of the gate. I don't think Dawn would make such a promise and know Geno wouldn't.

Would a Clem's Son offer her immediate playing time - start first game? Why not?

No aspersions against her team-manship. I don't know her. She has the makings of something special if . . .

I bet if its not SC , then NC or Tenn have already been on her line as well .
 
Not a good look in video. Most of the plays feature her dribbling around the outside while her team all stands in place. Anyone willing to take a bet whether or not she gets a UConn (or ND, or Stanford, etc.) offer?

No bet here. She doesn't appear to be the type of player those programs recruit. But please don't fool yourself. There are PLENTY of top 25 D1 head coaches (we already know who some of them are) that will offer her, and pick her up at the airport. If she can keep her academics in order, we'll see her again in a few years. :cool: If she makes D1, she’s going to be too hot to handle and too cold to hold. Wherever she goes, she’s going to spend a lot of time at the stripe.

The basketball and athleticism that I saw in that video was not a good look it was a great look. Her dribbling created opportunities that would not otherwise have been there for her and her teammates. When a teammate was more open they generally got the ball. The defensive tenacity was A+.
As to your non-basketball implications specifically fit for UCONN, ND, Stanford ( I never heard of etc university) I would also tend to mostly disagree. Academics should probably be set aside here because we don't know what kind of student this young lady is. Regardless, South Carolina has offered. Are we saying that Dawn's "non-basketball" standards are lower than UCONN, ND & Stanford?
Nothing to do with "non-basketball" standards in original post. All about a player "hogging" ball, causing teammates to stand around, a tendency the coaches with Championship rings do not tolerate.

I saw a article yesterday that referred to Fulwiley as a transcendent talent, she’s been balling since middle school, I expect to see all the top schools offer her.

If you look at Jordy G's post above, it links a video of her in an SC summer camp paying with a couple of other 5 stars and some others who will be playing college ball in the future, you will not see her ball hogging. More of a team player in that camp and AAU competition. Most of her tapes are hs competition and her teammates (and competition) don't have much athleticism.

Right that is what I was responding to. The player I saw was not hogging the ball and causing her teammates to stand around. BTW Championship Coach Dawn Staley has offered her a scholarship and the UCONN 11 time Championship coach has text her. ( See @DaBball post above). Besides the last " BALLHOG CHICK" turned out pretty well for UCONN.

Did the author seem to know what they were talking about? Some people throw that term around like IDK "generational player".

Yes it was more so about the class of 2023 getting a lack of exposure due to COVID 19, and how some of them haven’t had a chance to be evaluated by coaches, so it went on to say Fulwiley has been balling since middle school.
 
Fulwiley is nice! The right coach can reign her in and get her to play within a system while still showcasing her talent. The COACH will know if he/she wants a talent like Fulwiley not some fans on a forum. I hope Fulwiley chooses Delaware and teams up with she who shall not be named!!

FWIW, your coach did build some strong recruiting ties in SC. I'm sure she has some level of personal contact with Fulwilly and several other highly ranked players coming out of SC over the next few years.

I don't see that happening at all.

Our Coach? Geno?

Delaware?!? Did I miss something? :eek:

The RIGHT coach in a positive "structured" environment in a solid program can be very positive and influential on Fulwiley. I think she would benefit greatly from a no-nonsense coach willing to work with her, keep her grounded and focused. Regardless of where she goes, she's going to be a match up nightmare for opponents.

Oops. Colors in post I was responding to had me thinking of the wrong "doggies."
:eek: Yea 'em are just puppies though- they not ready to leave the porch and run with the big Dawgs where Huskies are leading the pac. :D

Folks may talk about her highschool league but she's in a top AAU league and is a star.... looking forward to her getting to UConn.
Slow down! Exodus has won 2 games so far 73 to 36 and 94 to 19. I see a lot of good teams but this does not appear to be an elite AAU tournament. For example the Fairfax team featuring Saylor and Kiki Rice is not playing and the Philly Belles featuring Amari and Olivia Miles is also not playing.

I think Saylor and Kiki are there. Definitely Kiki at least. I think Bollin and Fudd’s teams are there also.

Saylor and Kiki are there. Fairfax Stars has two U17 teams that is why I was mistaken.
Still not an elite tournament. You can compare the teams between these links.
Elite would be these AAU teams.
This event is featuring these teams.
Regardless Caroline appears to be doing well and that is good news for UCONN.
 
Caroline, Saylor, and Azzi’s teams all made it to the semifinals. Exodus and GTS Fusion are on the same side, while Fairfax Stars will play All Ohio EYBL.

edit: Azzi is apparently not playing this tournament

I have seen 5 of the top 10 prospects in the class of 2022 this Summer and 8/10 in the past with my own eyes. Just about every recruiting service, including Prep Girls Hoops, has 6’7 center Lauren Betts (Colorado Premier) ranked number one nationally and understandably so, but the best I have seen all around is 6’3 wing Janiah Barker (Essence/Florida). Barker is a unique mixture of length, strength and size for position to go along with a high level offensive skill set and a big time motor on the defensive end. She can guard players in all different positions on the floor. She can shine in the half court or up and down pace on offense. Barker can play 1-5 at the high school level at 6’3. She led Essence to some impressive wins this July and she displayed the full repertoire on both sides of the ball. On pace to be a future early impact player for a top 25 ranked college program.

This is not a good sign hope she is OK.
