Oregon St. strikes again in Texas.
Baylor fans were very high on her.

Her recruitment went quickly. I don't think it was very long ago she popped up on OSU's radar. She's a '22, so fairly early commitment from her.
Found these highlights at BEAVEREDGE website: BeaversEdge - WBB: Beavers Land 2022 SG Adlee Blacklock (TX)
Another tall, athletic, skilled 6' guard for OSU. I like!

What recent developments?[and recent recruiting developments re Ashlon Jackson].
Why Blacklock chose Oregon State....
(side note - for her to help lead her team to 2 consecutive state championships as a freshman and sophomore, especially in a state with the talent pool and size of Texas, is pretty impressive)

Break this down for us. What does that (fit, lifestyle, and education) mean in terms of UCONN? We already knew she grew up liking UCONN. We already knew UCONN is not in proximity to family like say Baylor or Texas.She has made that transition from “which programs did I like growing up” to “this choice will impact the rest of my life, I have many aspects to consider”. Like most astute recruits, she is seeing education, proximity to family, fit, lifestyle, etc. in a much clearer way as she progresses in the process.
Probably minutes would be a factor. Since 2019, at the guard position, UConn has added Makurat, Muhl, Bueckers, Poffenbarger, Ducharne, and potentially Fudd, while Baylor has added Oliver, Owens, and Andrews.Break this down for us.

I put stock in OSU Coaches ability to recruit players that fit OSU's culture, as well, as style of play. Watching her highlight video, this kid is special (on the court). Even given the level of competition. Taylor Jones also played for a smaller school with supposedly lesser competition in the state of TX. OSU Coaches hit a home run with Taylor Jones.Blacklock is a nice recruit but I wouldn’t too much stock in her high school results. She plays in TAPPS Division 4 [Texas Association of Private & Parochial Schools]. Texas doesn’t allow public and private schools to compete together. Public schools compete in UIL in 6 divisions, private schools have 2 main leagues [one being TAPPS which competes in 6 divisions]. The competition level in TAPPS Division 4 is very weak. Texas has a ton of great talent, but largely it will be found in UIL Divisions 5 and 6. There are occasional talented players in TAPPS or UIL Divisions 1-4, but not an overall talent pool.
If you want to see footage of Blacklock against good competition, find games for her Team Lex Breeze summer ball [the old West Texas Elite]. 17U Team Lex Breeze
Thanks. I hate to sound parochial here-I am parochial (UCONN) just hate to sound that way. Texas sounds like a mess. I'm only interested in the Texas recruits that are considering UCONN. To the best of your knowledge is Ashlon Jackson still considering UCONN?CocoHusky....in fairness should also mention that the current recruits are all the guinea pigs in the experiment of summer teams [and their recruiting mentoring] relearning about peacefully coexisting with Texas HS coaches under the Straight Line Recruiting Initiative. STRAIGHT LINE RECRUITING | thsca
Basketball doesn’t have the degree of “bad blood” that is so common between high school coaches and Summer team coaches in soccer, softball, baseball, etc. That said, if a football or men’s basketball coach finds that they are unwelcome at a certain high school because a coach in another sport ran recruiting through a summer league coach rather than through the high school coach in that sport], stuff will hit the fan.
The THSCA is “all in” about reclaiming their role in recruiting. Recruits are caught in the middle.
The parallels between Adlee Blacklock and Taylor Jones are striking in many ways. Taylor went a bit under the radar in recruiting due to a knee injury in high school and now Adlee has injured her's. In an interview, Taylor said she had already decided a year earlier she wanted to go to OSU, but just did not announce it early (but Adlee did ). You are right...if Adlee continues on the same path as Taylor...look out!I put stock in OSU Coaches ability to recruit players that fit OSU's culture, as well, as style of play.
