Hmmm. With NaLyssa Smith choosing Baylor, will another post want to choose to go to the same place? Given what we've seen at various programs the past year(s), stocking up leads to hasta prontos/luegos later. Baylor, of course, is a prominent example.

FSU has River Baldwin committed in 2019, but that school has been pistol hot on the recruiting front recently. And the national runners-up show they like to have a long post to back things up. Still, your point about Texas is a good one....

Thanks for posting! Lot of recognizable names there. Arieal Scott had dropped under my radar after de-committing from Duke, but she's obviously still filling it up. And I'm just a big Caitlin Clark fan..got some quiet confidence, even swagger, there which you don't at first expect. She's going to help someone big time.

They chose their home football weekend vs. Oklahoma. The pageantry of 100,000 rabid fans in the Horseshoe for a big early-season matchup of top 5 teams will be impressive.

I saw Engstler play a few years back: kind of reminds me of Faith Masonius. Forward-sized kid who plays center for her high school team and does a lot of the dirty work. Nice mid-range jumper and has a nice array of moves underneath. Tough. Still kind of a tweener though...has to be in a team that uses a traditional forward or high post.

    WBB: In addition to Aquira DeCosta (espnW #4) and Neenah Young, Southern Cal has a 3rd official visitor this weekend—Desiree Caldwell (#74).
  2. Caitlin Bickle (espnW #28) is also rumored to be visiting Baylor this weekend; AAU teammate of Baylor visitor Taylor Chavez.
  3. WBB: Finalists/official visits chart for 2018s updated with revised espnW rankings, plus more visits this weekend or later noted.

Baylor adds another highly rated recruit............it seems all of those past indiscretions don't mean a thing to future recruits

Never seemed to affect anything, did it?

On a practical note, seems this player seems to have a lot of the same attributes that Kristy Wallace displaces....non-stop motor, perimeter threat who is not scared to take it to the hoop.

that's hard to say...............we'd have to check with the recruits that Baylor didn't get to find out

Hopefully it affects DeCosta's decision. Baylor now has Bickle who will likely play the 2/3 in college & Smith who Kim promised she'd play at the 3/4( The same position she promised DeCosta she would be played at). Baylor also has Chou, Oliver, and Richards at the wing positions. So that will likely mean DeCosta will have to settle for the 4 along with Smith (which she probably wouldn't like being their playing style is similar) or be in a log Jam at the 3 with Bickle, Chou, Richards and Oliver. I think she will probably still take her visit to Waco but it may be a long shot for the Bears. Although I've learned to never underestimate Kim Mulkey.

Just curious about the phrase "Kim promised" and need more insight. Here is how I have seen it work personally and it's anything but a promise. There is always a conversation about the depth chart, other players being recruited (not by name in most cases) and where you the recruit fits into that triangle of consideration. Sometimes the recruit walks away taking a projection as a promise. As in coach says if I come here I would start ahead of Becky & Mary Jo. Was Kim "projecting" or did she actually "promise"?

and thus the multitude of transfers we've been witnessing for the past few years..........many kids want to play when and where they want to play, they have limited patience thanks to their AAU coaches and coddling parents
 
To any of our Duke-knowledgeable colleagues (and/or anyone else who has information):
Does anyone know why Arieal Scott de-committed from Duke? She apparently committed just after a visit, but then kind of quietly dropped it. And since then, I have not seen much on possible other landing places.
Thanks for any input.

Exactly why we've seen so many transfers. These kids are 17 & 18 years old when they commit (a young age for a life changing decision) so they're really naïve when it comes to the actuality of what they decide. Hope DeCosta doesn't fall into that trap of being "promised" playing time as a 3 when she's actually a 4.
