I view this as a significant signing in regards to UConn's chances with the other 2020 guards...I simply don't envision Clark and Bueckers sharing the back court with so many other guards remaining...

Charlie:
When Campbell arrives in campus in 2020, there won't be as many guards as you might imagine:
- Class of 2018 (3): Jordan Nixon (pure point guard), Katlyn Gilbert (combo guard) and Abby Prohaska (off guard).
- Class of 2019 (1, so far): Anaya Peoples (combo guard)
The wild card, so to speak, is Haley Jones, who is a big guard/wing. What she does, to some degree, affects what ND does or does not do in 2020 ....

I mean, ND plays 3 guards as a default. So any ND guard will have to share the backcourt with at least two people...
Expand ...

Yup.
ND is blessed to have a third guard now (Jackie Young) who can go inside and has good hops. On the other hand, Ogunbowale drives hard to the hoop and Mabrey rebounds well for a guard (she is 5'11"). Campbell appears to drive well and has a stellar three point shot, which you (I think) compared to Maddie Cable. The Irish should be so lucky....

If Jones comes, might not need another tall guard/wing. But you could certainly see a Clark or Bueckers fitting in. And if no Jones, there's another slot.

As Orangutan said, the Irish depend on guards....we just didn't have many of them last year. ;)

well compared to UConn, Notre Dame will be suffering from a virtual population overload.............. UConn will have a distinct shortage of guards point and otherwise unless Griffin and Horston show up and even then neither are really prototypical point guards........

Does one need to be an expert on Texas basketball to express one's opinion on a message board? If so, is there a test I can take?

I think it's pretty obvious that one does not need to be an expert to express an opinion on the BY. We have very few experts, but lots and lots of opinions. :rolleyes:

If ND can't beat out North Carolina for a player...I mean...come on...

Her tweet says "commitment coming soon" which almost makes me think her decision will be independent of anyone else's.

To UNC

Malu Tshitenge-Mutombo, the 6'3" high school teammate of Azzi Fudd at St. John's College and AAU teammate of both Ms. Fudd and Sam Brunelle, has just announced that she is down to two finalists: ND and North Carolina. This is per a tweet by Raoul.

She visited ND this weekend with Ms. Boston. Laeticia Amihere is visiting ND in late September (along with Haley Jones).

Initial gut says she may be seeing (as well as ND's coaching staff) which way Ms. Amihere and/or Boston may be leaning.
ND also has Mikayla Vaughn at low post, who will have three years of eligibility once these low posts step on campus.

Raoul‏ @Raoul_000
WBB: Malu Tshitenge-Mutombo, 6-3 C, St. John’s College HS (DC)—ranked #56 in the 2019 class by espnW—has announced her commitment to North Carolina, over Notre Dame
 

Thought she would end up at Notre Dame, to be honest. Maybe a clearer path to playing time at UNC? Or ND is holding that spot for someone else? Or she just liked UNC better (but come on that's ridiculous ;))

ND really needs to sign at least one more for 2019 and competition for Jones, Amihere, and Boston will be intense. I'm intrigued...and a bit nervous. I had talked myself into MTM as a sort of "backup plan" in case ND doesn't get Amihere or Boston.

UNC is recruiting well. They have two top-25 commits in 2020.

those "back ups" sometimes don't view themselves as back ups (hopefully UConn doesn't see that with Ms Griffin)..................she clearly is going to get more playing time at UNC and Chapel Hill is a fine place to live for four years (sure a heck of a lot nicer then Durham)......:rolleyes: From a UConn fan's perspective, I sure hope it has nothing to do with another '19 post from the east coast coming to South Bend..........

Maybe MTM wants to just concentrate on basketball.At N.D.they require their students to do crazy stuff like ,go to classes,study,and have actual professors put burdens on them.:cool:

Funny thing... UNC.Cheat overall academics are probably just as good as Notre Dame's ..... and spending 4 years in Chapel Hill and the Triangle is probably preferable to spending 4 years in Northern Indiana...... especially for a black female college student.

Welp... lemme jump in the shower and wash off with some Clorox and Soap :oops:

As a Domer, I'm hoping it has a lot to do with the other '19 post that visited South Bend with Malu Tshitenge-Mutombo in early September! ;)

As for Malu Tshitenge-Mutombo, we hardly/barely knew her until her visit to ND was announced, so that was kind of a whirlwind. Good luck to her in Chapel Hill...like many other posters, I can think of a lot worse places to spend 4 years. Enjoy every bit of it...except the four times a year you see some ballers with "Notre Dame" on their uniforms! :)

Aijha Blackwell and Esmery Martinez (committed) are on their Official Visits to Mississippi State. Would be huge if Vic could add her or Rickea Jackson (who will be in Starkville soon, likely 9/28) to his 2019 class

If I'm not mistaken the NCAA expunged an entire season of results for the Irish due to academic fraud involving having surrogates write term papers for athletes.

I don't think fans of either school are in a position to cast stones at anyone.

Both LaToya (Pringle) Sanders and Jessica Breland--former Tar Heels--played very well in the WNBA this year.
 
Anyone know if Zia Cooke is visiting anywhere this weekend? Rickea Jackson is on her official to visit; supposedly, a second unidentified 2019 recruit is also on campus for an official visit.
 
So this is their first OV without Horston. Will be very interesting to see where Rickea takes her final two official visits and whether or not Zia joins her. Also very interested to see if the trio or duo (w/o Horston) all end up at the same school. Zia has not formally announced a list yet. According to Rickea’s mother, she will be at Mississippi State soon likely 9/28 possibly with Zia.

Edit: Just read Rickea (likely with Zia) will be at Louisville next weekend
 
It is my understanding, too, they are visiting Louisville next weekend.
Griffin and Boyd this weekend. Blackwell and Beal are the final two expected to be on campus but have yet to hear dates on them.
 
.-.
I will stick with my prediction that Rickea and Zia will sign with the same school, but Horston will go elsewhere.

I’ve been saying that for months. It’s what i was told was going to happen ;)

Stop trolling! You know damn well that UCONN is still in the hunt (perhaps leading) for #1 Jones, #2 Horston , #3 Boston in the 2019 class! # 4 in 2019 Brunelle wanted to sign up with UCONN but was turned away-but you already knew that!
Expand ...
Coco, I think you’re overestimating this guy. I don’t think he knows any of this.
 
Will be interesting to see where they end up. Mississippi State has lots of top prospects with just a few (1 maybe 2) schollies left. They will possibly be getting the last visit for that duo. Would depend if anyone else commits by then. I could really see them at any of those schools

Agree. Boothe has all the tools to be a really special player...just needs to improve her ability to play within a system. Going to a school where she’s the star might be great for her. I don’t love Aston, but Rellah not being an impact player for Texas is on Rellah rather than Aston. Same with Holmes last year. Atkins on the other hand...that’s on Aston IMO.
Expand ...
Anyone who receives the opportunity to get a scholarship from Texas and can’t perform the simple task of getting into condition to play at that level does not have all the tools to be a special player. And Aston is to blame also for not making her get in condition before putting her on the floor.
 
I agree that Joyner was held back not due to Aston, but due to her being ineligible a whole semester. Kept her out of practices and preseason games. Had trouble regaining freshman season form, but she certainly did not underperform her freshman season
