Non-UConn recruiting thread - 2025

To quote that hoops observer (and lyricist for the Talking Heads) David Byrne: "...same as it ever was..." 😎

Hey I provided security at a TH concert in the early 80's ! "My God,what have I done?"

I ran into drummer Chris Frantz at the old Max's Kansas City and he couldn't have been a cooler "normal" dude.

Kind of laughing here because in a thread called "non-UCONN recruiting" on a page called "general women's basketball" we somehow are talking at length and exclusively about UConn, and mostly not even about their recruits.

It's sort of like Seven Degrees of Kevin Bacon where everything eventually leads back to UConn or [insert player, usually Paige].

Meanwhile, back on topic, good get from Jennie and the Sooners. She's really upped their game to compete in the SEC. Her last two years in the Big 12 she out coached the other teams, now she's also recruiting up a storm.

Bella Flemings has not gone on her most recent 2 visits (TCU and Miami). Anyone know if she still plans to keep her Tennessee visit this weekend?

Are you saying she cancelled or is it possible they've been postponed?

 

[southie]

Looks like Joyce Isi Etute is on an official visit to South Carolina even though they weren't listed as one of her finalists . . .

She already went on her Miami visit

But as I stated before if she goes anywhere other than Baylor I'll be shocked

I'm aware of her visit schedule. However, the picture you posted of her in the Miami uniform is from March 25th. You can find that on a X post she made. Since that date doesn’t match her official visit schedule, I’ll assume that was an unofficial visit.

According to On3 she has made only one visit to Miami and it was her OV. Same for Duke. They say she's made 2 visits to Baylor including her OV so unless they're misinformed/speculating it looks like she's keeping to her schedule OR like I said she's going to Baylor and there's no need to go to TCU or TN ?

So her official visit to Miami was in March and not August 29th. Got it.

My thinking was On3 was unaware or forgot about her March visit. Either she has only made an OV to Baylor and skipped the rest or as I suspect she did keep her schedule and has visited Miami,Duke,TCU and Baylor on her preset dates but just didn't post anything. If the player themselves doesn't post anything it's really hard to know. I know Olivia Jones visited Miami and Vandy on OV's but she hasn't posted anything.

I didn't have Luxembourg on my Euro recruit bingo card.

 

[southie]

I can't imagine Dawn has lost many recruiting battles when she gets the last official visit. Hope the same holds true for Satiya Fagan . . . 🤣

I would imagine Dawn is not in many recruiting battles for more worldly EU-citizen recruits deciding between Los Angeles and Columbia. And I would guess UCLA's global reach is also probably an added benefit as well. I don't know much about Etute and if her entire life hinges on being a top W prospect, I would absolutely say she made a mistake. But I'm guessing she's weighing all the factors together and her profile strikes me as a very good fit in Westwood.

In all fairness, Dawn got an official visit from Etute when South Carolina wasn't even listed among her 7 finalists as of last month: Va Tech, North Carolina, Louisville, Indiana, Texas, Cal, and UCLA. She visited UNC, Texas, Cal, UCLA, and SC over the last 3 weeks or so. She's currently attending IMG Academy in Florida, so not coming directly from Europe. She is a bit undersized at 6'1 to play PF, but her video clips showed me she's very strong physically and can hold her own down low; I don't think playing on the wing is her spot in college.

Just as top W prospect Lauren Betts made a huge mistake leaving Stanford and transferring to UCLA?

Huh? Who said anything about Betts? She seems much happier in Westwood so I have no reason to second guess her decision.

So, Mulkey's big recruiting weekend of Spaight (Texas), Abii (Notre Dame), and Andrews (South Carolina) came up snake eyes?

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Keep an eye on Houston. Matthew Mitchell landed there. Carlton is the sister of Texas forward Justice Carlton. Houston is in the mix for some of the top 100 kids as well.
