Is it just me, or is Arizona and UCLA on everybody's list?

It's just you.

 

[DaBball]

It's just you.

No, UCLA has made the list for:
- Lauren Betts
- Kiki Rice
- KK Bransford
- Aaliyah Gayles
- Chance Gray

I think Arizona made the list for 4 of the 5.

They have made a lot of final 10 schools for a lot of kids recently. But suddenly disappear after the list goes down to 5 or lower

and simply predicting the performance of an existing team member is a post about recruiting because.....?

And Adlee Blacklock is automatically a hidden gem because she chose OSU because......?

I never said this. Why don't you ask the person who did? I know you like to lump all OSU fans into one...get over it. We are quite heterogeneous.

Adlee Blacklock thought.......have seen her play at least a dozen times. She is a phenomenal shooter. Not good, not great, phenomenal. But....even with two good knees she was not the most agile player. And her knee injury this Summer wasn’t minor.

From the limited video I have seen on Blacklock, she has a ways to go on defense, but if any coach can improve her defensive skills it is Rueck.

Apparently Kara can pull an international player:

That's impossible! I just read on this board yesterday that she'd burned her bridges with all international prospects.

Too bad I found out about this commitment after the liquor store had closed. I might have some fermented apple cider under the kitchen sink.

I can speak from a personal perspective as I've been able to see her play and develop over the years. I think you're going to like her. Works hard, learned from an experienced coach and a lot of fun to watch in action.

I am so over the moon happy for her!!!!

Here is an interesting article on the future of the rankings/grassroots industry with the shift from Dan Olson to PBR:

The Reshaping of the Elite GBB Landscape

The changing of the guard at ESPNW for grassroots basketball is one of the bigger seismic shifts we’ve seen the last few years of the grassroots game. Going from Dan Olson who is a neutral 3rd part…

What no Duke commits

 

[Centerstream]

Lee is currently not in the top 100 per HG. She comes from Kara Lawson territory (NoVa).

I was wondering what was going on in relation to her High School. I saw one announcement that stated Lee went to Paul VI in Purcellville VA (in NoVA). I am pretty sure that Paul VI is in Fairfax VA but has a campus in Chantilly VA (that is scheduled to open in 2020).
I lived in Purcellville and the only high school was Loudoun Valley HS so maybe she is from Purcellville and played at LVHS too?

The new Duke commit Volker doesn't impress much on video, I'd venture to say the two wings (one now committed to Washington ,the other to Mich. State) who decommitted from Duke are much better.
