This surprised me as well, Louisville mainly though. Are recruits cooling down on the Cardinals? This also tells me in a way that Notre Dame is likely all in on Caitlin Clark. One is a PG and the other a SG.. but they’re both just a “big guard” in ND’s offense. Might be a take for McGraw.

Remember, ND also has a verbal commitment from Alli Campbell, the Pennsylvania guard who has grown into a 6' big guard, as well. However, I don't dispel that MM has an interest in Caitlin Clark, having just visited Iowa a few weeks back. (I would be a most happy camper seeing Clark and Campbell coming upcourt together....:) )

Hey there.

While Parrish did, indeed, attend the Recruitapalooza, interaction between she and ND just kind of fizzled out. Heard from one or two folks that Syd and ND had agreed to "do their own way" and apparently that was the case.

Initially, some thought this may have to do with the pursuit of another wing, Haley Jones. But even taking that aside, some think Campbell's continued growth spurt (at 6 ft. now) positioned her in the same slot as Parrish. Plus, there's a familiar-sounding family that has produced a wing: Maddy Westbeld, a 6'2" prospect that recently took in a game with her parents.

Just some hypotheses but baybe Notre Dame thought she plateaued? That happens sometimes, the best players in 8th or 9th aren't always the best in 10th or 11th. As to why ND would not recruit the #11 player in the nation right in their state, maybe they aren't as high on her? Notre Dame is in her backyard so if anything they can see her more than say ESPN who has to go everywhere.

Clark and Parrish are so different that they would not alter each others recruitment. Clark is a true PG. Parrish projects as a wing

I like Campbell A LOT.. she actually took an unofficial to SC back in 2017 and was offered on the spot. She’s a good get. High IQ and steady. A winner. Back when we offered her, I said on CockyTalk that she’d probably end up in the 6’1/6’2 range so I’m not surprised at all she’s still growing.

I'm not sure but seems like some ND fans are asking the same question.
https://ndnation.com/boards/showpost.php?b=mcgraw;pid=60523;d=this
@Orangutan is mentioned in the above thread and might know better.

Somehow I didn't see that I was tagged in this thread. Anyhow, Dillon already gave an accurate summary.

I'm not sure if she lost interest in ND or ND lost interest in her or if the lack of interest was mutual.

However, as noted, the "big wing" spot for ND was not a major need in 2020 with Campbell and even Brunelle (who I'm guessing will play 4 but find herself stationed at the 3-point line a good deal) in the mix.

From what I've come across on twitter, she's having a great senior year. So this definitely isn't one of those "eh, I thought she was overrated anyway" situations. Someone's getting a good one. My guess as of now is Oregon (pure speculation).

Some news for Miss St.


Former Baylor guard Alexis Morris will be going on an official visit to Mississippi State this weekend!
Apparently Kim Mulkey ran out of patience, as Alexis didn't adhere to a level of conduct Mulkey expected in order for her to rejoin the team in Fall 2019. Kudos to Kim for trying, and I hope that Vic has more success (assuming she finds a home -- and a second chance -- in Starkville).

Would she be able to play immediately in 2019 or would she have to sit out a year?

I think she needs to get out of Texas and away from her Hometown. But yes, she didn't adhere to the rules in order to rejoin the team. Good luck to her and whoever gets her. I hope they can keep her out of trouble, as she is really talented and I hate to see it wasted.

Would be up to the NCAA approving her for immediate eligibility, so who knows. If she wasn't eligible immediately, would she lose an entire year of playing time? You have 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. She's already sitting out this year. Sometimes a 6th year is granted due to injuries, but that wouldn't be the case here.

UK grabs one from Columbia, SC. Listed as 6-3 F averaging 12pts and 10 reb by Maxpreps. Not ranked by ESPNW or PN.

Mitchell likes to recruit in Dawn’s backyard. 2nd player he’s grabbed from the area in the last few years. He’s recruiting a few 2022s in our state as well, but I don’t think either are serious about Kentucky.

Leveretter isn’t a surprise to leave the state, although I had her going to UNC or FSU.

Leveretter said she also considered Furman, Florida, Clemson, UNC Charlotte, Davidson, William and Mary and North Florida. She also had an offer from South Carolina.

Interesting, might be and up and coming kid

She had looks from other ACC and SEC schools too

I guess Coach Staley didn’t think she was leaving the state since she offered her a scholarship.

2021 6’3 G/F/C Rayah Marshall of Lynwood ca, finally has highlights on YouTube. Still think she will be a combo forward in college, she looks like Natasha Howard to me. Lynwood has produced two former McDonald’s all Americans in Sa’de Wiley-Gatewood (2003) and Lenita Sanford (2007).

As you know I've been on the Rayah bandwagon for quite some time now. 6"3 with PG skill was what first got my attention. She reminds me of the healthy version of Vicki Baugh.

The greate Vicki Baugh, I forgot all about her, I defiantly see that comparison, I’m sure Marshall and Demetre will battle it out for a few California awards down the line.

Never said she wasn't offered a scholarship. It's just not a surprise that she's leaving the state. She's a well known local basketball prospect and she's a good basketball player from an important AAU program that SC needs to keep close, of course she had an offer.
