Non-UConn recruiting thread - 2025

Thanks! I wouldn't consider her top 10 but it's hard to infer international player rankings since they're US centric. I just snooped on her insta and it says she visited her sister at Oregon a month ago. A possible contender??? 👀

I think the original post wasn’t referring to the player being in the top 10…but the school being in the top 10

Looking like it’s Joyce Isi Etute. She’s removed all commitment posts to UCLA from her Instagram

I'll be curious to see where she lands - her other finalists were Louisville, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Texas, Cal, and Indiana. All that said, Stanford still has a slot open and we have a long history of recruiting Nigerian family origin players, and these kinds of late flips have gone our way often in football, right around now when test scores from the fall of senior year have come in. TOTALLY UNINFORMED WISHCASTING, I'll grant you, but a man can dream for a better 2026!

Was trying to remember who she visited officially. She went through with several "planned" official visits to North Carolina, Texas, UCLA, and Cal; not sure who else. Then, when Sitaya Fagan was on her official visit to South Carolina, there was Joyce Etute with her; so, almost seemed like South Carolina was gonna swoop in at the last minute. But, she commits to UCLA in mid-October; odd that she didn't sign her LOI in November.

Yesterday, she started following TexasWBB Instagram account; so, Texas could be a potential landing spot. She also started following LSU signee Lola Lampley, and vice versa. Seeing her follow LSU assistant coach (Redus). As far as I remember, LSU was not a school she was considering. But, with Jerzy picking South Carolina, it won't surprise me if LSU throws everything they have trying to gain her signature.

I don’t get it. Who/what is this about?

Answered. Supposedly the #1 2027 in WI. Also had offers from Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Kansas and some others. Odd to see Iowa and ISU chasing a guard that shoots 25% from three since three point shooting is usually a big seller to both.

Iowa must really like her. Low ranking/unranked and middling offer list. Plays for Gopher legend Janel McCarville, but no Minnesota offer.

38.5% on 3's this season.
I agree she doesn't seem to be the level of recruit Jensen has been after since she arrived, but given the fact this is a 2027 player I don't think it indicates a fallback/desperation type of signing. I think Jan sees something that makes her believe she's still in the developing stage.

Okay that a LOT better (really good) than last years stats that I saw! And, we are talking a 2027 so betting Iowa and ISU saw something they liked as to likely development over the next two HS seasons. 🏀

Seubert’s commitment seems like a recalibration of a recruiting approach. Iowa chased elite national recruits the last two classes and slow played or passed on a number of lower ranked regional recruits. Seems like Iowa is at least somewhat returning to its recruiting roots for high school players in the ‘27 class.

247 has her at #40 currently.

That’s about where Tessa Johnson was ranked when she committed to us before winning the McDonalds 3 point contest.

Sidebar: I was so hoping for a long shot that she would stay at home for Gophers. ISU had no shot at recruiting her after how they treated her older sister Rae (IMHO) who was PG at ISU.

Learned something new today. Interesting insight here.
 
On Joyce Isi Etute's IG, she has a story with a countdown ticker that she'll be making a commitment announcement in 21 hours or so; that would make it around 9 AM Central on Thursday, January 22.

 
Interesting. Might indicate Texas is out on Okeke.

Edit: Isi Etute is a 6foot1 center so maybe not.

Depends on what position(s) they expect to play in college. Etute is an undersized (height-wise) PF in my opinion. She does have the strength to play Center, but she'd be even more undersized at that spot. No idea about Sara Okeke.
