The way things have gone at Baylor lately, with so many transfers both in and out, maybe it's just as well that they start somewhere else so that Mulkey can have them transfer in when they're most experienced.

Nah I still feel good about Hailey Van Lith in green and gold! It was cute to see Louisville fans think they had a chance with Andrews

Texas kids very seldom leave Texas. Her teammate committed to Baylor. There was no chance.

Van Lith on the other hand is a dynamic scoring guard...that is Louisville’s identity (one scoring guard and everything else built around said guard.) Baylor is a post player, big girl, inside-out style team. I think Louisville is the best place for her. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s been persuaded to commit to Baylor this past weekend. That can happen when kids take OV’s together.

As for schools on the Pacific Coast, Hailey Van Lith could be a "local girl" who stays in-state and resurrects Washington, but she has never seemed to be interested in that option.

As far as I could tell, she never showed any interest in the Huskies, even while Plum was there and they were good.
 
2021 PG Raven Johnson visited South Carolina today/this weekend(?). Her IG story makes me think they possibly drove up for the day but I’m not sure on that.

Definitely looks like she just stopped up for the day. Surprised she wouldn’t have tried to make it for the scrimmage, but who knows.

Noon announcement for Treasure Hunt.

Auburn, Baylor, Kentucky, South Carolina.
 
Ok Ms. Hailey Van Lith, we're waiting! Maybe she is planning a "Ionescu" type move and will just show up at a school unannounced!

Would be fun to see Howard, Hunt, Edwards, Leveretter all playing together. Nice little group for Kentucky if this happens,

Big get for Matthew Mitchell

Interesting. Within 4 minutes of the announcement. Very efficient. Aaliyah took her time.

I’ve said for awhile now in several different posts that Hailey Van Lith is decently overrated. Not super overrated, I’m not saying she’s bad. I see her outside the top 20 though. And now my opinion on Hailey Van Lith is being confirmed. She’s run out of her preferred options because college coaches like her but not more than others. Oregon gave spots to others. I had heard that was her preferred place originally. Baylor rather have Andrews. UConn, not interested. Notre Dame not interested. Miss State, South Carolina, Stanford all have others they prefer already. Louisville only school left. I don’t think she’ll last there because I don’t think she preferred there and Walz pushes players hard. He won’t let her shoot away unless she’s dominant. And I would assume none of see Hailey Van Lith on the level of Asia Durr or Angel McCoughtry.

Hailey Van Lith can’t afford to wait like Sabrina did. Completely different level player. Hailey Van Lith’s waiting has already cost her alot

Welp FSU whiffed on every recruit it was after in the '20 class. Everytime I think FSU might get over the hump, we lay an egg recruiting, not to mention the derth of true point guards or an assistant coach leaves.

We would welcome her to Baylor.

Of course. Most any school would “welcome” her but there’s a big difference between that and wanting her. And how do you think she feels? Hard to imagine her wanting to compete with Sarah Andrews for four years in addition to the other guards there. Maybe Kim tried to sell Hailey Van Lith on playing the 2 but hard to imagine at her height.

Unfortunately for Hailey Van Lith the reality of things is hitting hard now probably. Players want to feel wanted. Hunt obviously choose Kentucky because of this. Do you think Hunt chooses Kentucky if Dawn and/or Kim are pursuing Hunt hard and really wanting her? Only school left doing that for Hailey Van Lith is Louisville probably, and Jeff is probably not pushing hard either. If Hailey Van Lith would consider Oregon State they would pursue and want her strongly. Not sure why they’re off her list

Kim wouldn’t welcome a recruit that she didn’t want. No coach would, that would be dumb. Why couldn’t she and Sarah play together?

Mississippi State put three players out on the perimeter under 5-7 and they fielded a very successful team (none of them were as talented as either Andrews or Van Lith).
 
Baylor wants her. I don't know why you think they wouldn't? Yes we want Andrews and Hailey Van Lith. We need more Guards

Next Year
Sr: Richards SF, Ursin SG
JR: Bickel S/PF, Egbo C, Smith F, Oliver W
So: Oliver W
Fr: Andrews PG, Gusters C

We need more SG/PG's and could use another transfer for next season.

This is the key I think. The roster numbers dictate that Baylor will have to bring in an additional guard besides Andrews, and I think Kim would really prefer it to be a freshman instead of continuing to play graduate transfer musical chairs. There will be lots of minutes to go around for both Andrews and Van Lith, and they would get to play with elite frontcourt players as they learn the ropes of college ball.

That’s not true in recruiting. There are varying degrees of recruitment and “want” for every player. My point in this is that Baylor wanted Andrews more than Hailey Van Lith. HVLs visit to Baylor was postponed to give Andrews time. Any Baylor people following this could confirm. Baylor wanted Andrews more than Hailey Van Lith.

I contend that Hailey Van Lith and Andrews are very similar players and that they don’t fit together as guards like the Bulldogs guards did. Baylor likes to play big too. I am sure that Hailey Van Lith would rather be at a school not super pumped about another 2020 5’8” PG. Did you watch Andrews commitment video?
