They certainly took a look, but nothing seemed to come of it.

I'll deposit a "third party" opinion on said player, from someone who has given us some very spot-on appraisals. BTW, tell me these Westbelds can't sub for one another...as you can probably guess, that's Maddy on the left.)

Doesn't Rellah Boothe fancy herself a scoring machine as well? This could be interesting to watch....

Yup ... it is classic to my way of thinking - and a reason you get so many transfers. According to this story, her college choice is all about:
1. How much love she is getting from the coaching staff during recruiting - hopefully at least one text message a day about anything except basketball.
2. Where her friends are going or are already playing.
3. Location and how it connects to family history.
4. How much love her parents feel from the coaches.

And not a word about:
1. Coaching style and playing style of her finalists
2. Current roster
3. Development of players at the program, and specifically similar players to her.

I am not ripping DeCosta because I really know nothing about her and she didn't write this piece so maybe that second list is a very important part of her process and it just got cut or wasn't discussed with this writer. But I am making a comment about how recruits in general seem ignorant about things that will be critical to their on court development at their 'favorite' schools. Having a working relationship with coaches, and having her parents respect them is obviously important, but that has nothing to do with 140 character texts and the frequency with which they come in. Feeling comfortable with the current team is also important, but most of them are going to be strangers and become new friends.

This article as written highlights everything that a number of really good 'advice to recruits and their families' articles and blogs have pointed out as the worst reasons to select your college.

Knowing and having talked to Decosta she is most certainly looking at everything, especially coaching style and development. She also is likely to go far from home so some familiarity is wanted. That is why it is believed Tennessee and Louisville are the presumed front runners for her.

Sorry, but I can't pass up this opportunity! :rolleyes::cool::p
Isn't the red highlight, followed by the orange highlight a classic oxymoron or at least a complete contradiction?!:):eek:

Rellah has a need for the ball as does Joyner Holmes..............there is definitely going to be a struggle early on to see who gets what shot when........will be fun to watch Brooke McCarty figure it all out ............good luck Coach Aston
 
Destiny Littleton, Rellah Boothe, and several other Longhorns are going to be scoring machines. We'll see you in Austin in February (or Jan?). Not sure of the date.
 
While Littleton's 40+ point scoring average is an eye-catcher, I'm more impressed that she was a 90% free throw shooter and knocked down 150 three-pointers. Texas needs both of those skills on its team.

Women's Basketball signs Destiny Littleton for 2017-18

I didn't get see her in the finals of the 3-point shooting contest during the McDonald's AA week, but recall she advanced that far.

This late in the recruiting process, an unexpected signee like this is a huge bonus. Here's to hoping she returns to being 100% healthy soon.

So, Ms. Breen, the 6'2" forward from Pittsburgh, has shifted her initial sights from Dayton to B1G and ACC.

North Carolina in the mix for Sam Breen, former Dayton signee. Per previous reports, she has already visited Penn State and Virginia Tech.

Hopefully it works out for her, sounds like Penn st needed her to make her mind up right away.

Yeah, it kind of reminded me of kids being accepted into school off the waiting list. "Congrats...you've got three days to decide." ;)

Coach Washington is from Flint, Michigan, and her other two recruits are from that state...a post and shooting guard. In this sense, Breen -- who from what I've seen is a forward/high post (depending on the system), should round out that class pretty well.

Gosh, I'm writing about Sydney Parrish in a number of threads.
By putting this post in the "Non-UConn Recruiting Information," are you certain/prognosticating that Miss Parrish will not be playing for the Huskies?
She is, after all, a member of the class of 2020, which is a bit down the road.
(Not to scare you, but the Huskies vaunted 2017 crew of guards and wings will be seniors entering the 2020 year...:eek:) And Parish is supposed to be the real deal.

Of course, I'd much prefer if she took Rte. 31 North to South Bend and joined juniors-to-be Katlyn Gilbert, Abby Prohaska and crew. :rolleyes: ;)

I wasn't sure if there has been confirmed interest from UConn and the tweet was about her getting an offer from MD.........will do a bit more checking to see if she is in in UConn's plans

Take a closer look at the picture, Miss Parrish is playing with her shorts rolled up and over tucked-clearly she is not headed to UCONN. :eek:
