So Juju has eliminated Arizona ?

So Juju has eliminated Arizona ?

According to her feature in ESPN, yes, and ideally they wouldn’t get that wrong since they actually interviewed her for it. But you never know.

Final 3. No announcement date/time yet.

Southern Cal. South Carolina. Stanford.

Unless she’s dead set on staying near home, it’s realistically only between Stanford and South Carolina. Judging from that article, she wants to win big and those are the only two schools she’s considering that are capable.

Stanford has Tara and the academic edge. And it’s not extremely far from home. It’s in the Pac 12, which is losing its two biggest brands in 2 years and already suffers in terms of exposure.

SC has Dawn and the edge from being in the SEC/on the East Coast (media exposure/branding). ESPN is salivating at the idea of marketing Watkins (SC) vs. Williams (LSU) for 4 years. Watkins is already well known and her popularity will skyrocket at SC.

I wouldn’t be surprised by her picking any of these schools.

I think she’s staying at home. We and Stanford are high class window dressing

This is a great outlook. I too am salivating at the thought of Mikaylah vs. JuJu for the next four years, especially with how both teams have been recruiting. My gut says Stanford, but she couldn’t go wrong at SC.

Hey SC fans, I plan to make the trip down for the game this year. Would love some recommendations on places to eat/drink and any other cool things in Columbia.

It's interesting that it was West Coast schools and South Carolina.

Sometimes the one that is not like the others is the choice, but I'll give Stanford the edge just to not get too excited one way or the other.

But you have to go between 11pm and 2am. A lot of Cookouts can get kinda rowdy after 2am. I suggest the Big Double Tray, Cookout Style, with your two sides being Chili Cheese Fries, and a Corn Dog. You get a choice of a drink with your tray. I suggest either a Caramel Fudge Banana Pudding Milkshake, or a Peanut Butter Oreo Milkshake. Thank me later.

My line of thinking as well.

For some reason, I thought we were playing tonight.

Glad we will still have coaches in Columbia at around 2:00 today.

FYI - you're not the only one. I'm in this camp too.

I'm nervous about this one. Florida just Tweeted out their version of getting a birdie. Can't imagine her going there but stranger things have happened.

Oh Snot!

 

[ThatCG1801]

Oh Snot!

That'll be embarrassing to lose in state talent to the likes of them.

 

[TC22]

Yes it would. How ironic would it be that we get Chloe from Florida and Florida gets Fulwiley.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I wouldn’t. SC is crazy stacked with or without her.

Some kids may want to be the star/face of the program. But let’s see what her decision is first

Where are you seeing this? I just scanned their entire Twitter TL and don't see anything even remotely suggestive of that. Can you link it ?

 

[SECbbfan24]

Then retweeted the Fulwiley commitment time

Floridaaaaaaaa? Sheesh. Good luck.

That explains why I didn't see it. I was looking at their official WBB site. Yesterday was signing day for soccer iirc. Perhaps it was directed towards those new signees. Who knows. Fulwiley's choice is as simple as she can either win with us or get beat by us. Best of luck to her either way.

 

[SCGamecock]

Yes it would. How ironic would it be that we get Chloe from Florida and Florida gets Fulwiley.

Or we get Kitts and Juju Watkins and not Fulwiley..

FWIW, I’d take this in a heartbeat.

 

[SCspur]

She tweeted that two days ago too though. Idk I’m trying to remain optimistic.

 

[Cockygirl]

I would definitely take that too. Really hoping we get one more whether it be Fulwiley, Prosper or Watkins, but of course Watkins would be amazing!!!!!!
