Just Russell and Destiny Littleton becoming eligible at this point.

Wouldn't shock me if there was a transfer in or two.

I just noticed that South Carolina only has ONE top 100 recruit signed for next year.
#43 Eniya Russell. What's going on here? Are there other signed recruits that are outside the top 100 coming in?

We never follow up a big class with another big class.

Wilson's class in 2014, a #2 ranked big class, was followed by a class of one (Canadian prospect, Shay Colley).

As good as Wilson's class was (A'ja Wilson, Jatarie White, Kaydra Duckett, Bianca Cuevas, Doniyah Cliney), our 2019 class is significantly better, so most of us weren't expecting more than 2 or so players in the 2020 class. Even so, SC was in the game late with several players in the class of 2020.. Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Diamond Johnson, Olivia Cochran, Treasure Hunt etc. Not sure many of those players wanted to play behind Zia Cooke, Brea Beal, Laeticia Amihere and Aliyah Boston for 4 years.. 3 of our current freshmen are probably going to end up being starters for all 4 years of their collegiate careers.

Not to mention, SC still has very good players in Destanni Henderson, Destiny Littleton, Victaria Saxton and Lele Grissett (our ONLY senior in 2020-21) that will also be competing for major minutes next season, so there's almost no playing time for a big freshmen class in 2020.

2021 and 2022 are talented classes in South Carolina, and I know Dawn likes a lot of players nationally in those classes as well so I'm predicting both classes will be a little bigger to add to what we'll eventually lose with 2019.
 
Payton Verhulst, (#8 HG, #10 PN), 6'1" shooting guard from Bishop Miege H.S., Kansas, had an unofficial visit to Notre Dame, taking in the Miami game on Jan. 19th. Afterwards, she (was) warmly greeted by ND coaches Beth Morgan Cunningham and Michaela Mabrey, who are now heading up Irish recruiting efforts with Niele Ivey in the NBA coaching ranks. Matt McGraw, Muffet's husband who is something of a great ambassador for the team, was chatting up Verhulst's dad. Thanks to valued McGraw's Bench contributor MPG, who was at the game and reported on this.

ND has mutual interest with three members of the backcourt of that U.S. National Team in Chile: Verhulst, Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron. Miles, of course, is a point guard (and even Touchdown Jesus knows the Irish need a long-term solution there :rolleyes: ) but me thinks ND could also use someone who can create her own space and shot, both inside and out. Verhulst has the capability and confidence to do just that. Stay tuned on the other guards' fronts.

I could totally see that happening. I'm surprised ND got in the game late with her. There is a difference between going to a Catholic HS and going to a Catholic HS because you're extremely religious, and Verhulst and family appear to be extremely religious, which bodes well for ND (though I thought the same about Clark).

I could also see Oregon State as a potential landing spot for Verhulst.

There are some high school games on today and the schedule was listed on a thread on the BY yesterday. Does anyone remember in which thread it was?

6-8 Sela Heide from outside of Seattle committed to Cal over the weekend. They are loading up on front court players. Both her parents are Oregon St. alums. It's uncertain if OSU showed much interest in her. She's had a series of leg injuries during her career.

 
I admit, I dont pay a whole lot of attention to high school recruiting, but this here caught my attention a few weeks ago. A Fall signee for NC A&T (My aggies)




As some of you may know.... NC A&T is the largest HBCU in the country... and its located the a fairly sizable city of Greensboro (295,000 or so)

I saw that....and thought to myself.... how in the heck does a White player from a small town in PA with a black population of less than 4% end up at a Southern HBCU.


Here is an article about her Connellsville's 6-foot-4 Sara Aumer picks North Carolina A&T

An interesting snippet in the article

Williams admits that Aumer’s college choice is interesting due to the fact that Aumer is a white player from rural Pennsylvania and North Carolina A&T is the largest traditionally black university in the country.


“She said it felt like home, which might sound a little strange, but when you find the right coach and the right fit, you know,” said Williams.


One of North Carolina A&T’s assistant coaches is Jaleesa Sams, a former player there and a New Castle native. Sams was the Post-Gazette player of the year in 2007 when she led New Castle to a WPIAL title.


Williams also coached Sams.


“That started the conversation and I think she went down and loved it,” Williams said. “Honestly, I think it’s a really good fit for her.”

Coincidental post, because I actually watched her play a few weeks ago. She has solid skills and mobility at 6-4, so it'll be interesting to watch her develop.

Also, their other 2020 front court signee, Zikeyah Carter-Ransom, is the sister of Mississippi State's Jessika Carter.

Solid class for the Aggies.
 
Is it ok to discuss players that UCONN might well be recruiting in this thread?

I'm sort of interested in the consensus view of the recruiting of some 2021 Gamecock apparent targets like the following who may also have UCONN interest.

Azzi Fudd
Saniya Rivers
Teoni Key
Latasha Lattimore
Raven Johnson
Shayenne Day Wilson

I like Raven Johnson a lot. Just a very solid, well rounded player.

Seems Dawn offers a fair amount of players at a young age, so it is not always clear who is still holding an offer and who isn’t, but I do know Aaliyah Moore and Aubryanna Hall were both offered at one point as well. There was an article that linked O’Mariah Gordon as well.

There is also the other three top players from Georgia, Jillian Hollingshead, Sania Feagin, and Kayla McPherson who not much is known about, but just given that they are from SEC country and top-25 players, wouldn’t surprise me if Dawn went after a few of them.

Top TN recruits are Saniya Rivers, Teoni Key, Latasha Lattimore, probably more but these names keep coming up. All have taken UOVs but Lattimore.
