She's raw but improving rapidly and working hard on her game. She's much further along than McCowan was at her age. South Carolina and Tennessee very much in the mix for her and Treasure Hunt.

The work is definitely paying off. I’ve only seen highlights and FBC Hunt game footage here and there.. but she’s improved drastically. Her potential is through the roof.

A lot of vol fans feel like they're the front runner due to Massengill signing and Holly recruiting Treasure Hunt. Didn't they just sign a 6'5" post for 2019 and have 6'4" post Kushkituah for 3 more years? Seem like it would be an eventual log jam
Expand ...

never stopped Baylor............btw......... is Treasure Hunt happy or angry with her parents?

Love Beal! I think she’s underrated and flying under everyone’s radar. IMO Beal, Horston, Bell, and Jones are the best prospects in the class

I’m also a big fan of Rickea Jackson. I would LOVE to see Jackson at SC. Apparently she’s grown and She’s projecting as a 4 at the next level but still has the quickness of a wing. I like that skillset.

This was a class (2019) & position (wing) where UCONN unfortunately had to prioritized. Beal's interest in UCONN was high in 2016. At that time UCONN was focused on Brunelle. This meant that Beal, Jackson & Pusuis were less of a priority -all terrific players BTW. Since 2016 both Haley Jones and Laeticia Amihere have both emerged and are "probably" the priority for UCONN at position. Keep in mind that Jones and Beal have the academic credentials to get into to Stanford and the BB game enough to make an impact anywhere they decide to go. My guess is that Beal ends up at Stanford and my prayer is that Jones ends up UCONN.

so UConn put all their eggs in two baskets...........hope at least one of those eggs hatches..........
 
Apparently ND has interest in Kierstan Bell? I wonder if she would be a fit for them with People committed already.

Bell isn’t a point guard so she and peoples could play together. Bell recently tweeted that she’s going to release a top 5 soon. She has visited ND, Ohio St, and Michigan unofficially. Also said to be visiting SC, NC, Minnesota and Rutgers. She might decide as early as the end of the spring AAU session of as late as November.

Bell reminds me of Alyssa Thomas. Not sure who Peoples compares to but I was thinking she was more of a guard.
 
With ND bringing in a combo guard and a point guard, and also looking at two of the top 4 point guards in the 2020 class, I thought the 5’10 Peoples could be asked to play off guard, that’s why I wasn’t sure if they would be looking at Bell. I sorta like the comparison to Thomas for Bell, but I think she could play guard in college.

If you listen to the ND fans they're in contention for every highly ranked Hoopgurlz recruit regardless of position or need.........apparently that one NC is going to have a magical effect on every recruit's internal basketball GPS

Wow. She is literally coast to coast. Still thinks she stays instate at tOSU.
Expand ...
I know that tOSU is in the backyard of Horston and 2 and a half hours from Bell and have probably visited the school enough, but it's curious that neither of them have officials set up with them. It's not a good look for McGuff.

Agreed. Said a while back if Kevin doesn't land one or more of the three Ohio Kids at top of 2019 list (Cooke, Bell or Horston) then he'll probably move on.

Oh, puhleeze (reverting back to my Long Island background)...you, of all people, should know better on that. :rolleyes: Given the scorecard and discourse that everyone contributes to, Benchers have a very good idea of what need MM has and what position is being addressed in what year. Now, do we think we have a chance at each of those? Of course ;)

Can I root for those players to go to OSU AND him moving on to a different school? I know a few players in younger classes who have OSU in their top three that I'd love to see stay local but I wouldn't want their development to be hindered.

Not sure how recent that article is but she is also set to visit both South Carolina and North Carolina per her step father. Saw her 77 South Elite Stars squad this past weekend and the kid never disappoints! Has the intangibles to be really special.

I got to see 2019 seventh ranked guard Aijha Blackwell play in one of the toughest tournaments in Missouri. She scored 38 points against Incarnate Word Academy in a semi final loss. Incarnate Word is the defending state champion and the former school of Napheesa Collier. Blackwell scored 30 plus points in the third place game. She is a junior and 19th ranked over all. She looked as good as Collier did when she was a junior except she has an outside shot and does not have as much talent around as Collier did. She is the real deal and is a smart young lady. We don't get many like her here in St. Louis. She plays for Whitfield High.
Expand ...
@donalddoowop sorry for being late to the Blackwell party but I had to go look up this post from a few months back. At the time I dismissed it because UCONN had its sights set on Correa, Horston, or Osborne. I not sure what changed lately but UCONN was evaluating a SG/W outside the top 100. Blackwell would work if UCONN is in the market for another guard. She defends like a demon, has a reliable outside shot and appears to be her team's primary ball handler.
