Non-UConn Recruiting Thread

Good recruits to other schools in the BE not named UCONN is good for the conference. I wonder what will happen to Villanova now that Harry is gone. They need to make a smart hire - someone that brings energy and a fresh approach to coaching.

Villanova hired a month ago. They brought over Drexel's coach, former Wildcat Denise Dillon.
 
I think a few of us had a conversation on this last year when he signed one of the top prospects out of Arkansas in last year‘s class, E Eaton. J Wolfenbarger is a good prospect. However, he still needs to get some size and defensive players. What position is Wolfenbarger going to play? I believe at one point she was listed as a point guard.

Kim's list of high priority recruits is quickly dwindling for this 2021 class. Aaliyah Moore, Wolfenbarger, Jade Malone, and Rori Harmon are now off the board. They didn't make the cut for Lattimores final list. Iriafen will be extremely hard to pull from the west coast. Raven Johnson seems to be in heavy contact with SEC programs, understandable given her geographic region. They must be putting all the eggs into Maryam Dauda's basket. They really could use a good shooting guard, maybe the transfer portal comes into play. Whiffing on a class can happen from time to Time but you better sign a great class the following year or add the pieces via transfer portal.

Wolfenbarger is a phenomenal talent, great grab for Arkansas.

Article says they have 6’2” post player coming in and Jersey is 6’4” there’s some size
Jersey will probably plans on playing some type of point forward/ wing in college, I’m sure she told every school looking at her that she’s not a center.
 
With half of the top-20 now committed, where do you guys think the other 10 will commit to?
- Azzi Fudd: UConn
- Saniya Rivers: South Carolina, NC State, or UNC
- Sania Feagin: South Carolina, Louisville, or Georgia
- Okikiola Iriafen: Stanford
- Talia von Oelhoffen: Stanford or Oregon State
- Raven Johnson: South Carolina or Louisville, Oregon is a sleeper.
- Rayah Marshall: Stanford or UCLA, not sure if Oregon is in the mix. She’s been very quiet.
- Kayla McPherson: ???
- Damiya Hagemann: ???

Agree on Iriafen a likely (hopeful) Stanford and von Oelhoffen being Stanford or Oregon State, but FWIW, Marshall has not been on our board's (quickly shrinking) long list, so that would be news to me. If HoopGurlz ~50th ranked Jzaniya Harrriel is offered, she will almost certainly commit as she has been aggressively repping Stanford as her dream school. So a class of Demetre, Iriafen, von Oelhoffen, and Harriel is our probable realistic best bet. There's been little recent indication Fudd is strongly considering Stanford. If one of those doesn't come through, Tara has signed a Canadian or Aussie in four of the past five seasons, so that's a possible route too, and those commitments tend to come out of no where at the very end of the cycle.

You got that when you signed Schaeffer and kept Collier.
I think Texas LOST a million dollars - several actually - but I'm guessing Southie thinks it was worth the price. ;)

It's not my money. But, if the recent incoming transfers and verbal commitments announced in the first 3 weeks since Vic was hired are any indication of short-term and long-term success on the court, then it was money well spent.

Not sure how your "math" comes up with losing several million dollars. Buyout was $1.25 million. Official salary details have not yet been publicized.

If Stanford wasn't scared to publicize its coaching salaries, we'd know what's what . . . . :p

Or, we could figure that Texas SAVED millions of dollars by paying Aston considerably less than what the top coaches nationwide are paid, and now are simply applying a portion of those savings to hire Vic.

It's all in how we frame it. ;)

Exactly. We paid Goestenkors $1 million a year for 5 seasons. Then, we paid Aston like $600,000 for 3-4 years. Then, paid her like $800k for the next 4-5 years.

My Oregon State neighbor had Jersey penciled in his sure thing recruiting list. But he also had Van Lith inked in on his list too.:(
 
Wolfenbarger and Dauda are very good friends. Not sure they are looking to play together, specifically, but Jersey’s heading to the Hill probably doesn’t hurt Arkansas’s chances. Mizzou has been heavily involved with Dauda, too, as she plays for Phenom in the AAU. Texas was a player before the staff change. I am not sure if the new staff is as interested? I know that Baylor is interested, but I haven’t heard them mentioned a lot among the folks that seem to know things about her recruitment. Compared to others, their (serious) interest came on a little bit later. But still, Baylor is Baylor.

She plays things pretty close to the vest. Wondering if Kansas will get a look now, with Nooner on their staff.

any chances that hs teammates Rickea Jackson & Damiya Hagemann want to play together?
 
I think he will go 0 for 3 with his Talia von Oelhoffen pick
Did he at least have Kampschroeder pencilled in?:eek:

With Stanford’s recent misses on Kampschroeder, Citron, and Miles, it would be very surprising if von Oelhoffen did not choose Stanford.
