Y'all go vote for Aliyah. There's also a category that mentions UConn beating Stanford in double OT. There is also a category that has Candace Parker as a nominee. There are 35 different categories to vote on but you can skip any you don't want to cast a vote on. Takes 5 mins tops.

Uhm, NC State - not Stanford. (Who cares, right? ;)) but thanks for posting the link.

I don't get too excited by Milaysia on an unofficial. It's like walking distance from Keenan HS?

No it's not. Keenan is on the other side of Columbia....off I-20 going back towards I-77 (about halfway) on Wilson Road...USC is downtown. They moved to a new school years ago.
 
If Fulwiley doesn’t commit to SC it will be a HUGE surprise. I can’t imagine.

She will likely take her visits but I'd be very surprised if she doesnt end up at SC.
 


Highlights from Sahnya Jah in case anyone needed to see what type of player she is.

SC is in her top 6.

Very much a SC style player. Just dominates the paint/inside game, long wingspan and quick on her feet. Nice outside touch too.
 
For the SC WBB Recruitniks, the USA U17 team is currently playing New Zealand. A lot of 2023 targets for SC in that game.. Jaloni Cambridge, Madison Booker and JuJu Watkins. Cambridge looks really good IMO, her ceiling is high.. kind of more of a scoring point guard like Henny instead of a facilitator like Harris but Cambridge is capable in both areas and we know Dawn knows how to coach both styles. Booker has great size and has a knack for the ball. A lot of Saxton in her game. She's a ball hunter. In the right college conditioning program she's going to flourish. The potential for Saxton 2.0 is there. Watkins is having a rough tournament so far, she's much better than what she's showing and seems to be doing what Dawn calls "blending".. her shot isn't falling and she's struggling figuring out how to play her game on a team of likely future college stars. Still a fan though, everything is there. She needs the same pep talk that Dawn gave to Aliyah and A'ja when they were "blending"..

Breya Cunningham is a player committed to Arizona and I can't help but realize how much she reminds me of Aliyah Boston. They have a very similar body type and their game is even similar to a degree. Cunningham is not as skilled as Boston was at that age, but so much of their play style is similar. I will be following her at Arizona because I think she could be very good.

The game is at halftime so perfect time to tune and catch the last half. The game is much tighter than the score indicates and Team USA hasn't really looked super impressive in this game or the previous game. This could be a potentially dramatic tournament if the team doesn't make improvements stat.

I could be completely wrong about Cambridge but if u look at her Twitter I would say USC is a long shot. She likes a lot of posts about college wbb, but I saw no likes for anything Gamecock related. She does follow Dawn, Boyer and Raven though so there’s that.

She may or may not but what I have learned following recruiting for a long time (this goes for every sport) is that social media can often be not reliable sign. I have seen quite a few recruiting situations in this past year alone, where their social media indicated there was a school they particularly followed the most but then they ended up committing elsewhere.

Watkins had a struggle game yesterday is that the case again today? I notice she does pass the ball well when her shot isn’t falling. She was the u16 MVP so it’ll be interesting to see if she settles in.

I will be happy to be wrong! Maybe she doesn’t want to tip her hat so she purposely doesn’t like some tweets … who knows!

There are quite a few girls (more players than not) who have had a rough start in this tournament. Watkins is one of them but I don't doubt her abilities, I've seen a much larger sample size that tells me differently, she is the real deal. Her and Williams both have not shot the ball particularly well but the nice thing is they show you they are extremely valuable doing the little things when they aren't scoring (rebounding, defense, setting up their teammate).

I will be interested to see where Watkins ends up going. She will be a good one. Not familiar with her college interest but just speaking on what I have seen from her watching her in the AAU circuit, she is the complete package.

I’m hoping she chooses SC or atleast a school that will maximize her potential. I think staying home going to USC or UCLA will make her worse as a player imo.

USC would be her worst choice. UCLA isn't terrible but wouldn't expect her to thrive as well as other places. I always assumed Stanford would be the biggest threat to beat but I could be wrong. UCLA certainly has been getting after it recently on the recruiting trail, they have some superb commitments, just inking Rice and having Jada Williams/Amanda Muse already committed for 23.

Will be pretty vigorous recruiting battle to land her, that is for sure. I think the fact that she is a Cali girl will make it more difficult to land her if you arent on the west coast, not saying it isn't possible but historically its a lot more challenging to pull that off.

Is that really necessary. It doesn't seem that farfetched. Personally I wouldn't make that prediction, but we're bringing back a good majority of a team with a lot of experience and success. Predicting the team that 15-1 last season improving by a game is hardly a stretch.

Per her IG story Fulwiley will release her top 5 soon and seem to be really entertaining Florida which is something I found to be interesting. Especially the context of the video.
