Pretty interesting read, primarily for Beal's candor about just the entire process, both from her end and the schools. In particular, I liked her capsules on each of the four contending schools. You can tell she knows players/other recruits at Louisville and South Carolina from AAU tourneys and it's obvious the Cardinals have been in touch with her for many years. Still, I get the impression this is a midwest girl and the B1G will be hard to get out her system. "Big fish" opportunity is Illinois but pressure might be a bit much. My gut: Michigan (still).
As per Duke dropping out of the picture: Duke did get commitments from two tall guards out of New Jersey (6'0" Jaida Patrick and 6'1" Azai Barnes), so maybe that position was filled up. But Beal is a top ten prospect.hmmm.
Time waits for no man (young lady)
Anyway.... I saw Patrick at the Blue/White Scrimmage on Sunday. Coach McCallie always sits on the opposite side of the floor during these scrimmages.... and I noticed a young black lady sitting next to her in the 2nd half of the game. Took me a minute to figure out who it was. After the game she came over to the side with her future teammates. She certainly looks like a ball player. Guess its not that bad of a drive from New Jersey to Durham (6-7 hours), so perhaps she will be in attendance for future games.

I'll make sure to see her Saddle River Day team play at least once this season to see her, Michelle Sidor (Michigan) and other D1 recruits. They'll be one of the top teams in NJ this season.
interesting mix of schools there:
I've watched Patrick from up close many times in tournaments and when her team has played against my daughter's team...they'll actually be scrimmaging each other in about a month....she's very athletic, a good offensive rebounder and has a nice mid range game.......her outside shot has also improved......also a very nice person.....her numbers would be more impressive but she tends to play second fiddle to Michelle Sidor (Michigan) who likes to shoot......a lot...I think it may take a bit of time but she should be a solid college player......BTW ESPN lists her as a guard but she really plays on the wing or as a four most of the time......not sure what is planned for her in college...

PN list Patrick as a Power Forward, I’m also curious about where she will play in college.
Still time for her to commit to UConn, then decommit and end up at Texas
UConn player of interest Taylor Bigby (2021) just received an offer from, who else, Louisville.
Class of 2021& Louisville is just now offering?
