Non-UConn Recruiting Information

[nwhoopfan]

curious to see how she ends up..nice kid but personally I've never been that impressed with her play...then again what do I know..

Hamblin was a HUGE project before she arrived in Corvallis, and I don't think Gulic was exactly considered a prized recruit. Both made tremendous improvements while at OSU. I won't be surprised at all to see her develop into a strong post presence.

I posted in another thread that Williams has a visit set up with Tenn (Sept 23) as well.

Hopefully she will commit on the visit

uhhhhhhhhhh...............nooooooooooooooo............

Not if she ever wants to win an NC or for that matter make the final four!

Well, I think she does have the right coach. In addition to the two posts I mentioned previously, Devin Hunter, Breanna Brown and Kolbie Orum have all developed into effective post players during Rueck's tenure, and I don't think any of them were highly regarded prospects either.

The key line in regards to Coach McGraw's comments on recruiting:
"McGraw said there is room to add at least three more recruits if there is mutual interest."

A thought or three:
- Like the idea that PG Jordan Nixon has (re)added ND to the finals list and is coming out to visit for the Sept. 2nd home football game opener. She knows Peoples is coming in 2019 and still wants to consider ND. MM and Niele Ivey saw her play when they were recruiting HS teammate and current ND frosh Danielle Patterson so they know what kind of talent they'd be getting. My guess is Niele went right back to work on Ms. Nixon after Scott went to Stanford. According to Raoul, she's already visited UCLA, Ohio State and UVA (don't know about Georgia), so the Irish have a chance to make a good last(ing) impression.
- I'll also be out on campus on Sept. 30th, as is Christyn Williams, and happen to be attending a tailgater that has some out-of-this-world pork pulls and white wine-garlic-marinated chicken breasts. Maybe Christyn would like to drop by?
- Don't know if ONO will put the Irish on the short list, but if so, would hope she also comes out. If not, I think that's it for bigs until 2019 (and/or until Ms. Turner recuperates and Ms. Shepard is eligible).

Im not really sure who Ms Wiliams is.. but if you want to Fedex some of those Marinated Chicken Breasts and Pork down to the Piedmont Triad.... I'll be sure to put in a good word to any prospective Irish Targets here in NC.

There you go

SI football writer and foodie wrote up a top 25 eateries in college football towns and he recommends the bacon steaks at the LaSalle Kitchen and Tavern in South Bend. (See #5 on this list: Ranking America's best college town meals )
I'll be very busy that weekend between the barbecue and Kitchen! Might even get to the game.

Nice blurb.

Charli Collier -- Cy-Fair Elite (Texas) Forward

Arguably the top prospect in the nation, Collier, a 6-foot-5 UConn commit from Barbers Hill (Texas), is incredibly skilled and currently one of the faces of the entire high school girls game.

by the time the UConn coaches are able to spend time with her she will be virtually unstoppable........a legit 6'5" post that can shoot from the inside and outside and run the court well............can't wait to see it happen!!

I’m pretty high on CC she has nice height for a forward, and can already stretch the floor, I think she can have a A’ja Wilson type impact, once she gets to college and will end up the number 1 player in the 2018 class once all the Rankings are final.

Madi Williams has committed to OU #BoomerSooner

When was the last time she was ranked #1? I do recall back when she released her top 12 in August 2016 she was #1 @ that point. I don't recall exactly when she slipped but I believe she was ranking #3 for a bit. As of now it seems she is ranked #2 by HoopGurlz.

Collier is #1 at Prospects Nation and #2 at ESPN and Blue Star. I believe she's #2 on ASGR as well but it's hard to get updated rankings from McCormick.

In your last sentence, is the UT to which you are referring the University of Tennessee?

Sorry, that should have said "UCONN."

 

[easttexastrash]

According to a tweet I saw, Bayor is getting DeCosta's last OV. The good news is they will not be together as Smith has said she will decide long before DeCosta's visit is scheduled.

When was DeCosta's OV? Smith has said that she is making her announcement on Sept 1 so that must mean that DeCosta must have had her OV by now?

 

[easttexastrash]

Apparently reading is detrimental to you because I never said she was going to be the "Second coming" of Parker nor did I say she was going to be a Wing or 3 in college. I stated she has similarities to Parker and that she could slide to the 3 in certain situations. Yes smith will play some 5 but she's a natural 4 with guard skills. Did I also mention Nalyssa shot 60% from three this AAU season?? She's a very versatile player and really hope she commits to Dawn.

Reading must not be fundamental to you because I never said that YOU said that. So get your knickers out of a twist.

Per DeCosta's twitter, her OV's are scheduled:
USC 9/8-9/10
U of L 9/15-9/17
S. Carolina 9/22-9/24
Tennessee 9/29-10/1
Baylor 10/6-10/8

My point was Smith's decision was not going to be impacted by DeCosta, as Decosta will not have even visited Baylor by the time Smith announces.

Considering DeCosta lives is in Cali, that is a lot of long flights in consecutive weeks. Won't surprise me if she cancels one or two of them.
