Rutgers is only about 130 miles closer to Detroit than Columbia, SC. I wonder does Jackson have family in New Jersey since she never officially visited there.

The "+" for transportation between Detroit and Rutgers is that there are several direct flights to Newark Airport (1 hour, 40 minutes), which is a pretty close to Rutgers (straight down the Turnpike). I've connected to Detroit several times on my way to South Bend. In addition, Rutgers is also in the B1G, which includes two schools very close to Detroit -- Michigan and Michigan State. So Ms. Jackson's family could see her a few times during the league schedule, at the very least.

No idea on family in NJ. Just a gut call which -- admittedly and probably -- might be totally off.

Good point about Rutgers being in the Big Ten. I forgot about that.
 
That's so insane that 7th graders are getting scholie offers. So monumentally stupid. At one point the NCAA put limitations on how young of players coaches could go after, at least in terms of when they could make a verbal commitment. I guess that went out the window.

From a strictly basketball perspective, this one made sense: At Miami, Dutch center Emese Hof graduates at the end of this season and Baylor Transfer Beatrice Mompremier will have one season left after that (2019-2020). Roby can back up Mompremier for a season. Miami gets a tough, inside presence. Roby escapes midwest winters :cool: ;)

This was the somewhat-under-the-radar guard (save for Pa. fans) that took a visit to Baylor, right?
Obviously decided to stay local (thought there might be a chance of Michigan) with the Nittany Lions.

PSU Coach Washington is racking up the off-guards/wings here with slasher James from Maryland; Marisa, who has a reported good mid-range game; and Bembry, who is a solid all round guard (NJ's Essex Players of Year, as Myisha Hines-Allen once was).

In the 2018 class Coquese also snagged Haley Jones teammate from Mitty-Karisma Ortiz all the way from Cali.
Also hoping to get PSU on the UCONN schedule for next year so Kyla can have a home coming game. Rumblings from friends of the PSU program that Coquese is on the hot seat.

IDK.:eek: A few here might disagree and are encouraging UCONN to change the recruiting philosophy to be more like Louisville. I'm with you though, don't know how a WCBB Coach can offer a grade school player and not immediately feel the need to go take a shower.

Could not agree more.

Would those jean's be a deal breaker for Geno and (especially) CD ?

Just out of curiosity, do the recruits get to keep the Warm up gear?

Yeah, I've been hearing somewhat similar vibes from my PSU alum hoops buddies. The good years were all in the early part of the teens. Let's see what Karisma Ortiz and crew can do this year produces and if Coach W can hang in until the Class of 2019 comes to campus.

I'm not aware of anyone suggesting that UConn copy Louisville's hyperactive recruiting tactics ............................being open to recruiting several additional high quality high school players as a precautionary strategy is a far cry from the infamous Louisville cattle calls where junior high school "babies" are offered along with a fair percentage of the Hoopgurlz Top 50................

All or nuthin’ is the only way to go if you want to be the best. No compromise, no hedge. Ever.

it's easy to say that now but I hope we don't have to revisit this conversation in a few weeks if Boston and Jones go elsewhere.................as Geno likes to say, high school rankings end the first day of practice...................remember Notre Dame had no number one ranked players on their team last year (incl.....#3, #10, #11, #24)................winning can be as much about team chemistry and great coaching as it is about pure talent..........
