A Maybe she was just trying to save face? Did you ever think of that?

No!

Didn’t even know we were looking at International players. Who’s reporting this?

So in other words, her response to ND was:

So in other words, her response to ND was:

frankly I was hoping she would say yes, yes, yes to ND because that would have lessened the odds of Boston jumping ship to ND...........did Mutombo pick UNC because she would get more playing time or because she was told Boston is on the way so don't bother?

They were both told that ND is a guard's school and posts should go elsewhere.

And if you believe that, I can send you to tickets to the new Kim Mulkey fundraising auction, "Sports Jackets I Have Tossed...for Winning!" *

Charlie's point is an interesting one, but I refuse to get too up about it for fear of getting hit by an astray purple sports jacket!

great pick up for NC State

This is HUGE for UW, they've been in desperate need for something positive to happen. Good first step.

I've been out in the mountains playing for 3 days, can't believe nobody else saw this. You guys and gals are slipping.

USC lands Angel Jackson over Cal, Florida and ASU.

 

[DaBball]

I seriously was waiting for you to post that. I think she is definitely a good addition, but her rankings have dropped dramatically. Still in the 40s in PN but was once a top hoopgurlz prospect and is now not even in top 100. She is still a talent no doubt there. A great start for UW. Washington has no shortage of talent, but they gotta keep it home and snag a few from elsewhere. Sometimes I wonder how different the PAC would be had Ionescu chosen UW over UO

I think Miller is interesting in that regard. I think she was once in the top 50 for HG before dropping out and her high school numbers are not impressive. UW is saying she will be playing without a position which is strange for a 6'4" recruit. Although she said she was also considering UCLA and Oregon, I don't know how serious they were as there has been almost nothing about her on the recruiting trail.

But yes, UW getting her is much better than UW not getting her.

And while we're on the Pac what-ifs, what if Kelsey Plum went to her very close second choice, Cal?

Ionescu's recruitment was so weird. I don't think she was really very interested in UW but she and her HS/AAU coach were just seeing if they could leverage the situation to get something they wanted.

I'm still so disappointed by how little talent Neighbors brought in after he got Plum and Osahor. Left a deep hole for Wynn to dig out of. Basically got nothing out of 2 consecutive classes, you just can't do that. The McDonald/Melgoza/Henson/Garcia class could've really made a difference but McDonald left after Neighbors did and Garcia has yet to play due to injuries (and I'm really doubting she's ever going to play). So instead you have one really good player and one decent supporting player. And part of the blame lies w/ Adia Barnes as well, who is now killing it at Arizona but apparently couldn't convince anybody to come to Seattle when she was an assistant coach on the staff.

Anyway, yeah I've seen Miller's stock has dropped, but they've had such a hard time getting any local players to stay home, I can only hope this is a first step in turning the tide. We'll see.

Last year was a recipe for disaster from the start. The 1-17 league record looks terrible, but it's actually kind of amazing they kept the score close in as many games as they did, given their lack of experience, size and talent. I think Wynn might end up being a good hire, as long as she can start winning a few recruiting battles. She got the team to play hard and not give up last season.

I saw somewhere USC also just got a guard from Oregon that a few other Pac 12 schools were looking at. They've been busy lately.

Alyson Miura and Angel Jackson (Hoopgurlz 36) for USC while UCLA added a Canadian wing too. Will be interesting to see where Jazmin Shelley lands. Oregon St? Oregon? Nebraska? Still haven’t seen anything on her OV to Oregon St but claims were made she was on campus.

 

[DaBball]

Endyia Rogers, Rickea Jackson, Zia Cooke, and Maori Davenport will all be visiting Mississippi State this weekend. Their only other prospect is Aijha Blackwell. They have 1 definite scholarship open, but could make 2 maybe 3 work.

It is confirmed that Jazmin Shelley was in Corvallis on the weekend of September 21-23 on her official visit to Oregon State. Shelley has roomed previously was current OSU frosh Jasmine Simmons when they both played on Australia's U-17 national team that won the world championship in 2016. Oregon State, Oregon, Nebraska, and South Carolina are reportedly still in the mix for the 5'9" point guard from the Class of 2019.

UW picks up another '19 commit. 4 star according to Prospect Nation.

[LoTrader]

Jazmin Shelly is a fine Aussie WBB player. I sure hope OSU Beaver Coaching staff (and her buddy Jasmine Simmons) were convincing enough on her official visit to OSU.
