Well, assuming Amirah is the last ND commit, I give the Irish a solid B grade for this class.

With Clark it would have been an A but c'est la vie.

Three players who will be in the mix for HS AA honors plus another in the top 50 and a flyer on a lower ranked big with upside. Solid.

And three players in the 6'2 and up category (plus 6'0 Campbell) is very nice after watching ND get dwarfed on Monday.

Uncommitted Top-100 Prospects
- Diamond Johnson (announcing Saturday I believe, down to SC, Rutgers, UVA, Boston College, and NC State (?))
- Hailey Van Lith (announcing Saturday down to Baylor and Louisville
- Deja Kelly (believed to be down to UNC and Texas A&M)
- Leilani Kapinus (down to two of Penn State, Wisconsin, LSU, Arizona, and Minnesota)
- Eniya Russell (down to SC, Indiana, Kentucky, Georgetown, and Miami)
- Aicha Coulibaly
- Sahara Jones (visited Florida, Texas, and TAMU)
- Sela Heide
- Tommisha Lampkin
 
I honestly don’t think hailey will come to Louisville! After this year, Louisville has 11 players returning and 3 players signed for next year. There’s 8 guards returning and 2 guards signed for next year so a total of 10 guards. Hailey has said she wants immediate playing time so with 10 guards next year there is no guarantee playing time for her especially if balogun and Evans are already there. Plus, Nyah green reshirted so hailey would have lots of people to compete with for playing time. Baylor loses 2 starting guards in t’ea Cooper and juicy Landrum. They only have 4 guards coming back next year in didi Richards, moon ursin, trinity oliver and jordyn Oliver. Yes they signed Sarah Andrews but I have a feeling that hailey will go there since there’s 2 starting guards spot opened. I assume moon ursin will take one of the starting spots. I think that mulkey pitches to both Andrews and hailey that they can be unstoppable together the next 4 years playing together. If she does sign with Baylor, she or Andrews will get that last starting guard spot with the other coming first off the bench and still seeing a lot of playing time because they don’t have a lot of guards. Also, it seems like her faith is going to contribute in her decision and Baylor is a Christian school. Also, she wants to play for championships and Baylor has 3 championships and Louisville has none. Also, on social media, hailey follows a lot of the Baylor players and one of the assistant coaches and she doesn’t follow any of the coaching staff of Louisville. She also follows Hannah gusters and Sarah Andrews and they both have said that they weren’t done yet so I assume they know where hailey is going. Hailey also visited Baylor last with the other 2 and it was billed as “the big 3” and I feel like that is the final nail in the coffin. I think Baylor got her. Wish Saturday was here already

Saw those tweets also. Hope they are correct!!!

Kim has definitely proven her ability to close with recruits. It seems like she gets almost every big fish she really trains her sights on.

Keeping them around, well, that's another story.

Well she has personally gotten rid of 2 of the last 3. So she gets them and let's the cream float to the top....LC, Nalyssa, DiDi, etc

Maybe it's a Washington thing, but her recruitment has been totally silent. She's outside Seattle but still in King County. Can't recall her getting much if any attention from local media.
 
I think Diamond Johnson ends up Rutgers. It’s close to home and there’s a decent class and team to play with next year.

I hope you are right. I'm worried about Dawn and SC.

Two point guards already there. Cooke and Henderson will be the two guards after Harris leaves. So she’ll only have one year to start. I don’t think she goes to UVA because there’s nothing there, but Tina Thompson which is prolly why she listed them. NC State is a good spot for her, but I don’t see that either. Boston College? Please! I think either Rutgers or NC State.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Diamond Johnson end up at UVA or NC State. She only moved to Philly in February of 2018 so she could be with her ailing dad. Prior to that she lived with her mom in Hampton, VA since fifth grade. So to me that very much puts the Cavs or Pack in play as much as Rutgers. I doubt she goes to BC and I’m not sure that Philly connection is enough to bring her to SC where they have good depth at positions Diamond and Eniya Russell play.

If she wants to start immediately, South Carolina might not be the choice, but there should be plenty of playing time. I'd suggest Cooke is going to settle in as more of the scoring guard.

Rutgers wouldn’t be the choice either. She’d have to play behind Zippy Broughton and Alexis Morris for 2 years. But with our system she’d get plenty of playing time.

If not all most of of the top programs will have a transfer in the portal this year the next year, two, or 3...it’s just where we’re at in the climate of wbb, it is what it is

Yeah, it seems like a lot are hopping between high end programs. Used to be a transfer would drop down for more playing time. Now it is high end starters that see their minutes threatened.
 
Maddy Westbeld just sign her National Letter of Intent yesterday, formally committing to Notre Dame.

I'm including this profile, primarily because of the picture you'll see with Kathryn, Muffet McGraw and Maddy Westbeld. This is probably the most relaxed and happy smile you'll see on MM this fall, in part:
- she's surrounded by one of her sister acts (Mabrey1&2 and current walk-on twins, Margaret and Catherine Murdock, being the others); and,
- she just learned that Maddy has now grown to 6'3" tall, which gives coach some deparately needed height on the front line, along with 6'5" Nat Marshall.

Madeline Westbeld would tag along to older sister Kathryn's recruiting visits to Notre Dame. Now, the No. 23 prospect is headed to South Bend herself.

It will be interesting to see if the transfer culture continues next year and beyond now that the NCAA has decided to toughen up on transfer waivers
