The information is not "usually" reliable it is "always" reliable. I don't think that thumbs down was about information it was more about hair color as in -what does that have to do with anything?

Definitely high on Toby Fournier. Her development in such a short timeframe is amazing and exciting to see.

Hoping she's on the Canadian U17 roster for Hungary. Heard she did well at Basketball without Borders. Looking forward to seeing how she competes on the international level.

In the past we've seen clear evidence of strong interest from some recruits...........at this juncture I don't think anybody knows where Olson is going and that includes Geno and most likely the recruit herself...........I'd gladly welcome any information that would challenge that supposition.....

Uconn, LSU and Texas noted as 3 teams recruiting Mikaylah Williams. Maybe it means nothing but someone had to note the 3 teams for it to be in the report.

Parkway’s Mikaylah Williams, nation's No. 1 2023 recruit, lands U17 USA National Team invitation

Mikaylah Williams of Parkway girls basketball is the only player in Louisiana invited to the trials in Colorado Springs

I'm actually ok with some players/families keeping recruiting quiet, as I wonder if it's how best to manage the craziness of it all.

"Williams does plan to attend the tryouts, according to her mother, Tonya Williams. Although the family is keeping recruiting information close to the vest, Williams is being recruited by UConn, LSU and Texas among others."

Woah she’s way more physical than I would’ve imagined with her frame I’m intrigued.

It should also be noted that Canadian HS players are finally getting back into the swing of things. Players from the 2021-2024 classes lost close to a year and a half of development time due to ÇOVID protocols in some provinces.

The OSBA where Prosper and Fournier compete out of didn't have a season for 2020-2021. It's scary to think where they could be had they been able to play that year.
 
A few thoughts:

- Harpring has rarified pedigree. Father Matt starred @ Georgia Tech & then had a long NBA career as a physical, sharpshooting wing (incl with my Sixers). Hopefully similar paternal recruiting influence as Aubrey’s pro dad (& Ayanna’s, I think);

- Prosper’s brother plays for Clemson, located in SC. Anticipating tea leaves, perhaps she may want to play for an elite program nearby, esp as Canadian stateside? Did this kind of thing with Ciera Toomey & was roasted, only to be proven correct. We’ll see. Nice prospe(ct) so fingers-crossed. Hope eggs-in-basket for Booker don’t burn us with other long two-way wings: Prosper, Kitts, Donovan, Delaney Thomas, etc.
 
… Also, Prosper appears to be a superior athlete to Caroline Ducharme, but Carol may have Cassandre on skill, at least to this point. Love what I see on posted video. Mentioned CP awhile back. Nice to hear her name discussed avidly here.

Doesn’t Cassandre Prosper’s brother play for Marquette?

At least one of us will admit it. You and Coco could jump into a toxic waste dump and still think you smell like a rose. It was in a series involving a lot of other prospects ( Ashlyn Watkins, Toby Fornier etc... ) and I assumed she was in that group also. I don't live and breath basketball. What is it with you two? Why the constant insults?
Expand ...
Huh? Just a quote. Why so sensitive? Was it the Wooden award or the Betts thing. You really come off as a know it all and self absorbed. If you don’t live and breath it, why the long diatribes on my of your post? asking for a friend.

How does Sarah Strong compare with Aneesah Morrow?
Expand ...
I really can't compare since I never saw Morrow as a HS sophomore. Obviously similar in size. Morrow is very quick to the ball and boards and has relentless effort. And of course her skills are excellent. Strong's positioning, footwork, shooting, and especially passing skills are very advanced for her age and if she has Morrow's motor, her ceiling is very high. Her parent's genes are pretty obvious. Allison Feaster - Wikipedia.

Subscription-based Prep Girls Hoops review from the weekend:

Laila Hull

2023, 6-1 PF/SF, Zionsville Community H.S.

- Laila has long been one of the top prospects in Indiana’s 2023 class, and throughout this past weekend, she was incredibly productive for her grassroots team. She has an athletic frame, good length, and she can run & jump with anyone in the class. Where she continues to improve is skillfully, as she is shooting it from the perimeter with a great deal more consistency than when she was younger, and she’s starting to handle it better in traffic.

New ESPN Hoopgurlz rankings for 2023 & 2024.

As far as commits, Ashlynn Shade falls from #5 to #6 and KK Arnold rises from #8 to #7.

Interesting to see POI Aalyah Del Rosario (‘23) go from #18 to #8 and seeing Breya Cunningham fall from #4 to #10.

You beat me too it, but in addition to the interesting changes you state I also noticed that Prosper (11) is now higher than Booker (15), and also in the article on "risers" the large list of schools mentioned as pursuing DelRosario did not include Uconn, and Laila Hull I believe dropped to 94. Kitts was at 17 and Thomas at 19.

A lot of shrewd analytics go into these massive changes. ;)
