July non-UConn recruiting thread

[TerpWomenFan]

I watched her play over the past week in Louisville and Chicago. I'm mixed on how she did. She was listed as an all-star in Louisville, however I thought she had her challenges in Chicago. Maybe it's me, but I wasn't a fan of her decision to drive continuously instead of dishing to open team mates. Mind you, she wasn't the only one, but I've seen her make better decisions.

I don't know what happened with her defensively in some games either. I have to rewatch Chicago to be sure it wasn't just me frustrated with how she performed. The U17 Kia Nurse EYBL team's performance in Chicago as a whole was disappointing.

She'll definitely be a great pick up regardless where she goes, but there are some gaps I hadn't seen before over the years. Hopefully it's due to the 16 month lay off from competition and that it will get corrected for their next tourney.

Thanks for the write up. I think you are probably correct about the rust.

I hope so. It just seemed like selfish play in a lot of cases, but I really hope that wasn't the case.

I get kids want to show out especially after not being in any competition for over a year, but she's got 5 great schools to choose from. She's very fortunate to be in that position compared to others from Canada who are hoping to catch coaches attention this summer.

There could be players on her team who could use some focus and get offers. Her putting them in position to shine as a guard only enhances her image overall from my perspective

Just posted this on the UConn board, July recruiting thread. No definite info, but a fair number of people think Georgia has a real chance.

Pretty surprised UNC didn't make the cut. There was a lot of mutual interest between the two earlier, so much so that I actually thought she could up there at one point.

Just saw this. The Shaquille O'Neal of WBB. Pretty amazing movement and skills for someone so big.

Class of 2023 - Bishop Garrigan center Audi Crooks, the 6-3 post who holds offers from Iowa, Minnesota, Iowa State, Drake and Maryland, among others.

Saw it on Twitter myself. I thought she was impressive. Based on the names listed, a lot of D1 programs do too.

Obviously a smart young lady

Ive heard the name before, but not quite sure if she is any good, and what position she plays. Nevertheless I hope she picks Duke.

The best player in the class imo. Very skilled, versatile 3/4 talent.

Getting ready for competition in the SEC ! Texas gets commitment from 2023 6'9 center out of the DFW area.

A 2023 at 6'9"? Wow. If she has another growth spurt............man!!!!!

 

[Jmsdawg]

Madison Booker would be major. This not so much

congrats on the pickup

it’s been a ghost town in BR lately so waiting to hear something

If Nikki can sign Madison Booker I think our future will look much brighter, however, I have heard, my brother in law, that she really is leaning Ole Miss. That will be a disaster!

This feels like a repeat of Teaira McCowan.

This feels like a repeat of Teaira McCowan.

McCowan was a little bit further along but you cannot teach size like that. It’s a major advantage though once they polish her up enough. I will be interested to see how post players develop since J. Harris is gone.

The biggest difference to me is that McGowan had Johnnie Harris. It was well documented that Harris was instrumental in her post development.
