Nice commitment for Coach Jen at GW. Miss Hyduke came on strong for Rumson-Fair Haven last year and had some classic duels with Dara Mabrey and the Manasquan Warriors. Tough, smart kid...the coach might think she's looking at a picture from long ago...;)

I think Hyduke will thrive at this level, might have held out for a bigger program but she will play immediately at GW.............look for another NJ player announcement soon

Anyone know how good the younger Mabry is?? Is Notre Dame going to offer her?? Haven't heard that much about her really.

She's very good..........ultra competitive just like her older sisters.........only about 5'8" but by far the quickest and best ball handler of the sisters and her outside shooting is almost as good............don't know if she is getting a ND offer............they have a bunch of highly rated back court recruits coming in already

She was good enough to be named NJ Player of the Year by both nj.com/Newark Star-Ledger, as well as the Gatorade committee as a junior. I saw her play a few times in person and thought she did best when she had to take over the point position when Manasquan's stellar PG, Stella Clarke, was out with illness. Why? She showed she could run the team, distribute and score. Which is precisely what Marina did when she led Manasquan to the NJ Tournament of Champions title.

She's not as tall as either of her sisters (she's probably 5'7"-5'8", as opposed to Marina's 5'10-11"), but she's quicker and overall faster, and is better with the ball on the break than her sisters. Fine in-your-face defender. Perhaps not as deadly an outside force as Michaela and not as strong to the hoop as Marina, but still awfully good at both. She can most assuredly play at the P5 level.

However, its' mum on the ND front. I've seen one report that says she isn't pursuing the ND option but that could be a smokescreen. In fact, I've seen no reports on any specific schools outside of wondering about ND and possible interest in the ACC. If that's true, I once could've seen U of Miami interested because Michaela was on the staff there. However, they've recruited a bunch of guards recently.

Back in late spring, Muffet McGraw had said she wanted to add two more players to a four person class in 2018: one more big and perhaps one other, probably a guard. The Irish are in the Christyn Williams derby, as most of you know. So most of McGraw's Bench thought that was it for Dara -- MM and Niele Ivey would play for Williams and if they get her, hurrah! If not, maybe see if there's a plan B out there. Or wait until 2019 and there are tons of great wings/guards coming along. If Dara chose to go elsewhere, who could blame her?

However, now with Anaya Peoples coming in 2019 and Jenna Brown out of that Irish 2018 foursome and now committed to Stanford, there's some wiggle room....maybe.

Still think the priority is Williams. However, a whole lot of Irish supporters at McGraws's Bench -- me being the lead guy -- don't think you should stray too from the family that keeps getting you there, so to speak. Would love to have Dara in South Bend. Maybe she and Katlyn Gilbert could take turns bringing the ball up for a year until Peoples arrives. (Think it would be very hard to find another 2018 PG and/or a grad transfer two years in a row.)
We'll see.....

Thanks. BTW, how did the MRI on your daughter go?
Expand ...

Good news on that front.............no structural damage.............most likely tendonitis which she has had to deal with the last few years.........she has jumper's knee and runner's knee.........the joke on her team is that this doesn't make sense because she can't jump and she rarely runs..............thanks for asking

Good to hear. My daughter had tedonitis and her teammates also joked because she played center defense in both lacrosse and soccer and that is very much a "stay close to home" position.

Best of luck on that front.

Hopefully the youngest Mabrey will choose another ACC school...... and drop a 50 piece on ND for not offering a scholarship :cool::p:D;)

BTW, for some reason I was on Michaela Mabrey's site and saw this link to Dara's prepstarhoops page posted. It's got a ton of tape, links, etc. so feel free to take a look see. Heck, Geno's quote on "body language" even makes it into her interview (second screen down, I believe). As Charlie and I brought up yesterday, she's fast.

Dara Mabrey

BTW...... Hyduke turned down two power 5 offers in choosing GW

Here's one for the ND fans out there:

Future Notre Dame Guard Katlyn Gilbert Mixtape @ The North Tartan Meltdown!

Thanks much for sending. Like the pull-up jumper and the strong drive with the running one-hander. Reminds me of Kayla McBride. Goes right whenever possible which may be because she can get away with it, but would like to see some more moves to the left.
BTW, #5 on her team is 2019 Anaya Peoples...very excited about seeing these two together.

Here's a highlight video on Ms. Peoples from the earlier evaluation period:

Another point guard rejects UConn or was it the other way around?

I suspect it was the other way around.

I wasn't aware that UConn had offered Honest Scott Grayson.....

There was a Jim Fuller article a while back mentioning UCONN "interest" in Honesty and some other players but nothing regarding an offer.

Thx. for posting. Will be interesting to see where she ends up. Remember Geno showing some initial, early interest and Muffet made a trip there around the same time she was also checking out Danielle Cosgrove on Long Island. Danielle got the offer and committed. Have not heard much of anything on the "OO" front. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

We all know Larry Bird loved to talk trash so I'm going to say Rella Boothe (Texas.) Listen to our very own Megan Walker at 1:06 of the video.
