Non-UConn Recruiting Thread

[SCGamecock]

Mikesell is definitely not a Staley-type PG. More of a 2/3 probably.

Correct. She’s a shooting guard in our offense. We would need Mikesell to shoot the rock, not pass it.

 

[SCGamecock]

This place would explode if it was Fudd. Lol

But I think it’s Mikesell and a ‘21. Either Johnson or Feagin. Just a guess.

Boneyard may shut down if this happens

And explode. Sorry SC, I made my post before I saw yours.

Well, either would be +'s on the short or long end of the recruiting scale, no?

With all the action out in South Bend, I have not really thought about where some transfers might end up (if the weren't a match for old or new regimes at Notre Dame). And Mikesell, who I did and still like a lot, is one of them. While she can handle the ball, I agree that she's probably better suited for the #2 slot and could give Dawn something I think she could use: a spot-up sharpshooter, who could keep half-court defenses from collapsing on Boston in the lane and be devestating as the trailing wing option on fast breaks.

I never really thought about SC as an option but it kind of makes sense: Mikesell left a program that was threatenng to reach a final four (and she was one of the reasons). She's either going to look at a team with a similar vantage point (and there's not really that many of them); and/or a place that will allow her to flourish due to their approach. One that can do both: bingo. Stay tuned.

(BTW, before reading these posts on SC, I had these schools mulling in my head: Indiana (who has done well with transfers), Iowa (she and Clark could be a great pair), Marquette (Megan Duffy was also an Ohio prep star who runs an upbeat offense), DePaul (bombs away!) and Boston College (ascendant young coach)).

Huge addition for the Zags, espnW #32 6-3 W Bree Salenbien:

Sounds like it's a couple of 2021 recruits for Dawn, and not a transfer:

I’m thinking it’s Raven Johnson and Saniya Rivers. That is my guess.

Looking at Teonni Key and Brooklynn Miles to TN as well. Not sure when the announcement will be but that is another prediction.

Miles and Puckett both have on Twitter from skin hoops going to TN. Will be interesting to see if TN will take 5.

TN also in the mix for Morasha Wiggins, Bree Hall and Jasmine Shavers.

 

[WFFL]

She just recieved her offer from Texas last week; assuming she had a relationship with our new coaching staff while they were at MSU; has never visited Texas. I'm thinking she she ends up at Kentucky.

With MSU and Texas both in the top 7 it makes Vic's case very strong for her talents. I see where shes facing though and it seems verrry creative !

Do you have insight or just a prediction? I think we’ll definitely take 5 in this class. Question is if we would take 6.

This is the first real recruiting cycle Kellie has had—she could use this class to set the foundation of how she wants to run her program. But of course a big class makes numbers tight.

I'd love to add Mikesell's shooting to help space the floor for Boston, but I'm not sure the depth chart makes sense for her, particularly given that she's expected to sit out as far as I know.

after her sit out year, she'd be looking at 4 upperclassman guard/wings returning plus Eniya Russell plus another recruiting class.

After Dawn's tweet this morning I think it's two 21's.. Mentioned players signing in the fall.

If it’s Feagin what do you think will happen with Amihere?, who will likely keep her same position on the depth chart, Boston’s backup.

By the time Feagin would arrive Amihere will be a junior and starter. I think Sania will be the replacement for Herbert Harrigan and whatever big we target in 22’ will be a replacement for Saxton.

 

[DaBball]

Feagin is also a little raw. As much upside as any other player in the class, but her backing up Amihere at the 4 for two years would be very beneficial.

As some of our other potential targets like Miles and Citron committed elsewhere, I figured this was pretty probable given that her GPA is 4.75, and how vocal Harriel has been that Stanford is her dream school:

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.

Great to see her dream has come true!! Welcome to the Farm!

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Feagin is also a little raw. As much upside as any other player in the class, but her backing up Amihere at the 4 for two years would be very beneficial.

I'm interested in seeing how much fluidity Amihere can regain and how much she can improve in general with no offseason work.

I think no early enrollments and skill work will make for an interesting season for everyone. I've felt veteran clubs will have a huge advantage across the board in sports after covid, but maybe that's not right.

Might this potentially benefit Oregon State regarding Talia von Oelhoffen? Beavers are competing mightily with Stanford for her and up to now, Stanford was not getting the guards they wanted for 2021. The more guards Stanford picks up for 2021 not named Talia, the better for OSU, at least theoretically. On the other hand, Talia may have little concern about competition for PT at Stanford (ie. Harriel's commitment to Stanford is a non-factor.)

I don't think so at all

So Staley tweeted a picture of a bucket of peaches yesterday, which was either a hint at the commits or one of her regular what's cooking tweets.

I'm genuinely not sure.

I do think I'll make my formal guess be Raven Johnson and Sania Feagin in effort to play a percentage here.

if that's the case, I think they'd still want a bigger guard given the offers that are out.

would still have Rivers, Fudd, Bree Hall, and teonni key out there.

Everything that I have seen to date suggests that R Johnson has been a South Carolina lean for a while. However, I hope that S Feagin has not committed as there seems to be very few post players in this class, especially ones of her caliber.

I took it as the latter. I don’t believe she’s dropping clues about the recruits. Don’t recall her doing that in the past. The ‘heads up‘ chirps were enough and eventually the identities revealed themselves.

I think Feagin and Key are pretty similar.

Key might end up being something more like Rickea Jackson and Feagin might be more of a four, but could go either way for both.

I actually think Key might be a little better right now.

Thanks. I’m not as familiar but thought T Key was more of a wing that could swing to the four but is limited in what she can do there. I understood that S Feagin was more of a four/five. I didn’t realize she could effectively also play the perimeter. That makes the post depth in this class even thinner.
