My understanding is A Boutilier still is trying to gain weight and get stronger. Even as a freshman T McCowan was incredibly strong. I will also be interested to see how she develops without Coach Harris.
I think a lot depends on what Nikki does this year. Coach Yo has had more time to establish relationships and her culture. The program appears to be on the upswing. I will be pleasantly surprised if we get any big name recruits this year. It has been said on more than one message board that Booker wants to stay close to home, but who knows if that's true anymore? I probably would have bolted if I had been an athlete and had options.
Uhm..., this young lady cried when she received her UCONN offer and called Geno for advice before her USA basketball trials. No disrespected intended but the entire state of Mississippi could not possibly elevate her game to the level that Geno & UCONN can. Mississippi will always be her home, Storrs is where she will become a legend.
I had said prior to the season that Coach McCray-Penson was going to have to show she could keep the program on at least a steady path and she would be able to get some of the elite recruits. Obviously that did not happen. However she has done much better than expected with off season transfers, assistant coaching moves, and her first high school class was better than decent. It is imperative she win this season and win at a high level. Part of that winning must include beating Ole Miss every time they play.
I said prefer. That doesn’t mean she isn’t leaving. Family is important to her but so is winning and better herself.
Mil, is Madison kin to Devin? My brother in law is a WBB nut. He is a Southern Miss grad who has a very close Ole Miss friend and that is where he got his info. Hope they are wrong, I frankly would rather see Madison at UConn if she does not choose State.
Not that I’m aware.
I would also rather see her go to UConn if she doesn't go to State. For obvious reasons- lol. It would also be cool to have a Mississippi athlete play for UConn. Has that ever happened before? For college, it can be good to get out of your home state if you have a chance. It's good to see something different. Of course, many people don't have that opportunity or don't want to, but I don't begrudge any Mississippi kid for taking an opportunity elsewhere.
Don't forget to include Citron on that list for Notre Dame. She's an excellent player from what I've seen. She plays well with Miles thanks to their USAB experience together. This incoming 2021 class for ND has some good pieces.
They’ll probably get JuJu also.
Thinking JuJu will be Stanford bound. An interview from when she was younger said her dream school is Stanford and they’ve been pursuing her heavily. Also, her coach is a Stanford alum.
