Wonderful! We are getting 2015 started off right!!!

Geno, the master choreographer, has done it again! Brought in four recruits, and has already reeled in two (Boykin and Collier).

Gorecki undoubtedly (and wisely) saw that she would be competing with at least Ekmark, Williams, Nurse and Edwards and four years at Duke looked pretty good. So she took it.

Katie Lou has yet to commit from that foursome.

But no sooner they left, Erin Boley visits. Then, out of the blue, Butler.

And Geno and his staff remain relentlessly in the hunt for Durr, Brown, and Cox, among other quality prospects.

With him coaching this talent, we might even see the day when Geno can glibly talk about how "we're getting pretty good at beating Notre Dame." Even keep a straight face.

I now really, really, like our chances.

Just another boring Sunday in the off-season.

First question - how tall is she?

I agree. Very classy OP.

And the excitement continues to build.

First question - how tall is she?

Depends upon whom you ask.

Somewhere in the vicinity of 6'2," so I'm told.

 

[MilfordHusky]

She looks about 6'2". Lanky, athletic, maybe built like Dev Peters or a less muscular Rebekkah Brunson,

We're not even letting the " ink dry" on the verbal and we're starting right in! Love it!

 

[MilfordHusky]

De'Janae is a rebounder par excellence.

Interestingly, so is Natalie Butler.

They are 2 grades apart, and their homes are about 30 miles apart. I wonder if they know each other.

Just saw pics- Gd call - Dev Peters no doubt!

First question - how tall is she?

Bret McCormick of ASG said 6'3 3/4" in his tweet announcing the commit.

First question - how tall is she?

How tall do you want her to be?

 

[pvdoggy]

Bret McCormick of ASG said 6'3 3/4" in his tweet announcing the commit.

Not that it really matters, but there is no chance of that unless KLS is closer to 6'5 because in the picture with the 4 recruits on their visit a couple weeks back, KLS (who is listed as 6'3) is CLEARLY taller than the other 3.
