Maori Davenport? To Rutgers? Why?

Like someone said, if Rickea Jackson also decides to head to New Brunswick, this could be interesting. I also noticed Raoul just added Ohio State to Jackson's schools. The difference between C. Viv and McGruff is, well, palpable (to say the least). ;)

Very interesting that Jackson is adding schools as we get closer to signing day when most players are going the other way. I believe she has taken all 5 official visits which made her visit to Rutgers an unofficial one.
Jackson also started this process very early with an unofficial visits to Michigan State and Texas?, if she still hasn't found what she is looking for at this point I'm sensing a real opportunity for some one. Could ND be that someone, I know ND was very high on her early on?
 
Davenport was definitely close with Zippy Broughton as well as Joiya Maddox (another 2019 from AL who committed to Rutgers). That potentially could have played a role.

As far as Jackson... I think she was always considering Ohio State. She and Zia Cooke have identical lists (except Jackson’s has Rutgers too). They are likely top targets at this point for any school recruiting them.

No Calhoun is class of 2014 Duke then tOSU, she arrived on the Rutgers campus this summer, i.e., pretty recently.

Correct. Also last year we got #25 Zipporah Broughton. So Maori is the highest recruit to commit out of HS since Tyler Scaife.

Ohio State has always been one of her final 7 schools.

Unless there's a covert Plan B going on, all signs are that all Class of 2019 efforts in South Bend are focused on Ms. Boston and Jones. Period. Have not heard/seen anything on the Jackson front in relation to ND in quite some time.

Right now, Jackie Young is playing the wing position for MM. The good news is that she doesn't graduate until 2020. Would be great to have someone play with/behind her for a year before letting that person move to the top. If Jones does not work out, maybe's there's a plan to move someone currently on the roster to that role. Or another guard/wing in 2020? Stay tuned.

it's not about success with the sports teams.....it's all about the money derived from the move

Yeah, vowelguy pointed out the bags of cash. Sad for fans.

Whattt??!! The kid transferred three times? Seriously? Wow. Thanks for the update. My head is spinning!
 
Two more posts on this Rutgers signing...one on how the NJ school is headed south.




and another on the other 2019 recruit and other possible recruits...both of whom are in the Detroit area.
"Rutgers now has two 2019 commits, both from Alabama: Maori Davenport and Joiya Maddox. In the mix for two Detroit area players, Rickea Jackson and Jasmine Powell. #ncaaw #B1G"

Coach Coquese Washington of Penn State, a Detroit native herself, has recruited this area from time to time, so C. Viv is visiting the neighborhood, as well. Stay tuned.


BTW, Joiya Maddox is a 5'10" guard who pocket write-ups sound like job descriptions for a C. Viv off guard.

apparently it's Boston or bust...

Well, Storrs isn't that far from Boston if things don't work out.....;)
And a lot closer than South Bend is.....:rolleyes:

As said somewhere else on this thread, ND is also -- I believe -- all in regarding Boston and Jones.
Stay tuned.

yes we're in the same slightly leaky boat looking for a fat cork and something tells me neither of us is getting both of em..............still you've got two young point guards, two young posts and a second 6'2" forward among others next year regardless of the outcome
 
Would you all rather have Haley Jones or Boston ? If you could only take 1 ?

I just looked at Rutgers roster and there is a lot more talent this year than I thought they had. Sierra Calhoun will definetly help, but I think Arella Guirantes has a really solid freshmen year at Texas Tech. She’s eligible this year. K Sanders will have a much bigger role. And Freshmen Broughton as well. They have NCAA tourney talent this season especially with a down year for the Big 10 which I’m expecting.
