Triad, speaking of Duke, what are your realistic expectations for the Blue Devils this year. I like Kara and have been pulling for her since day one. You guys have an incoming freshman that I'm following, Ashlon Jackson that I think is going to have a better than average career at Duke. She's a well spoken leader that will age and mature gracefully under Kara. I can this being HER TEAM her senior year

Well you did say realistic. Absolute floor is 6th in the ACC... ceiling is 3rd place. NCAA tournament appearance. If the press clippings and thoughts of various fans turn out to be legit... she will be in the starting line-up as a freshman... maybe on opening day.

Amari Whiting to BYU, following mom who was recently named the head coach. Whiting was committed to Oregon

Didn't think she would make the change based on some articles published once her mother was hired.

This seems super early for a 2025 recruit to announce a verbal commitment to Stanford. I thought (in most sports) that Stanford first had to approve admission/acceptance before such a commitment announcement.

Different Stanford sports handle commitments in different ways. The oddball "committed to the admissions process" wording is something volleyball and beach volleyball have started using recently. I don't think any others use it. WBB used to strongly discourage early announcements of commitment, but that changed a few years ago.

Some people in some sports do wait to announce until they are admitted.

espnW HoopGurlz #23 Sammie Wagner, who was once committed to Baylor and Kim Mulkey, has decommitted from Texas:

Didn’t think Texas was a great fit for her defensively, but I’ll be interested to see where she lands.

She hasn’t even visited LSU but her and Kim go all the way back to when she was much younger going to her camps. Don’t think she wants to come to Baton Rouge

I was told she wanted to stay in state or close near family. Watch for A&M and Arizona

Also, if she's struggling to see a fit, it's better she goes with her gut now versus realizing it later.

Not surprising really. She dropped Baylor and quickly committed to Texas. Obviously it was a knee jerk reaction to Mulkey leaving. Now hopefully she can carefully do her dudiligence and find the best place for herself.

I totally agree. Her decommitting immediately after Kim left and quickly committing to Texas was definitely a knee jerk decision. I also hope she does take some time to make this decision.

Having to decommit a a third time would not be the best look for her.

I would not be surprised if she went to LSU but I think she will stay in Texas. I have heard she is extremely close to her family and wants them to be able to easily come to her games.

I guess its not nearly as bad as what Esmery Martinez did. Sign with a school then back out of it weeks before arriving to campus (she did it twice).

It did seem a bit quick. I am not in the know or anything about Sammie but I figured she would take her time more after the coaching change. See what Collens at Baylor has to offer (Wasn't on original list). Seems like a lot of moving pieces going on making a quick decision but its her recruitment. She did go on many visits last fall to be fair.

I heard she was visiting A&M this fall. Not sure I see A&M as a exact fit but I do feel strongly she stays relatively close for school.

Wagner decommitted from Baylor in like Spring 2021. She committed to Texas in March 2022 after taking visits to several schools out west like USC, Oregon, and Arizona, IIRC. So, those posters stating it was a "knee jerk" or "immediate" reaction to Mulkey leaving are not being accurate whatsoever.

I stand corrected. It was the quick decomitment that was the knee jerk. Regardless its game on in her recruiting journey.
 
I'm sure Mulkey was a huge reason why she committed to Baylor way back; but, her Dad did play football at Baylor, so I'm sure that played a role, as well.

Wagner did recently start following AggieWBB Instagram account. Her Mom did swim at A&M, so that could be an option for her.

I wonder if she will consider Baylor again or if she is going off the list. She isn't going to LSU or TCU.

In the end, Wagner has to figure out what she wants and what will make her happy. She's taken plenty of unofficial visits that I recall (Baylor, A&M, USC, Arizona, Oregon, Texas, etc.), so it's not like she committed to Texas on a whim.

While she has less than 4 months before the November signing period, if she's still confused after all these years of making college visits, she'd be smart not to sign in November and wait until April 2023 to sign her LOI.

Hannah Hidalgo (#5 in 2023) posted on her Instagram story that she will be announcing her top 6 on August 1. She’s visited Ohio St and Pitt, not sure of other schools she might be considering

Seems odd to me, she committed in March and its July. Not sure what changed exactly. Some kids are just extremely unsure I guess.

Tough to tell. Texas did lose 3 assistant coaches to promotions since late March. But, don't think that was a factor.

Perhaps she made a recent visit to Texas and watched some of the practice and conditioning drills and that opened her eyes to the intensity, and the athleticism of her future teammates. Perhaps she didn't see her place on the depth chart.

The fact that she just started following AggieWBB account on Instagram tells me she's been making eyes at other schools (for whatever reason).

Yes, Kim had been recruiting Sammie for a long time and she committed to Baylor as an eighth grader. I think she decommitted just a day or two after it was announced Kim was leaving. I am sure Kim leaving was a major shock and she made a very quick decision to decommit.

Word is that Nicki spoke with her after she was hired but Sammie was no longer interested in Baylor. Hopefully she finds a team that will be a good fit for her. I could see A&M. I have heard she would like to stay in Texas.
