Non-UConn recruiting thread

Not open for further replies.
Addison Bjorn visits Notre Dame, who offered her in June 2023. She's also been offered a numerous other schools, including UConn. A friend of mine who has seen her play says she has many attributes of ND's Sonia Citron. This is a good thing. ;)

This is the thumbnail sketch I've posted on the Bench.
- Addison Bjorn (#8 in Hoopgurlz), a 6'1" guard from Park Hiil South in Missouri, just outside of Kansas City. Played on U.S.A. U-16 Team in Mexico. Publicized offer from ND in late June. Took unofficial, on-campos visit to ND in Winter 2024.



(Thanks for IrishFan2008 for finding and posting on The Bench.)
 
Has picked up an offer from Notre Dame. The list of offers is impressive.

About a month ago I thought the battle would have been between NC State and UConn. This talk about Strong considering South Carolina came out of left field and we look to be an actual contender...so color me shocked (and excited!).

I knew Dawn had not given up on recruiting her. However, her OV to SCar surprised me because Strong had not expressed any reciprocal interest in us prior to then.

UConn target Sarah Strong is also a finalist. Strong is the No. 1 ranked recruit in the Class of 2024. A source confirmed to CT Insider, that Geno Auriemma is traveling to North Carolina today to see Strong/Grace Christian HS compete in their playoff semifinals

Wonder when we will see the next Bayou Barbie appearance in North Carolina?

would not be shocked if CDS is in the crowd watching also
 
Was Strong in for an OV during the UConn game? I knew she was in attendance, but had not heard it was an official.

Both parents were with her. School can provide tickets only if it’s an unofficial. Do you know what the cost would have been for three UConn game tickets where she was sitting? I mean , I guess they could have bought them before that section sold out but that would speak volumes in itself. The Strongs aren’t poors, but still . . . .

Did they spend their own money and time on gas to drive? It’s only a 7 hour round trip. 2 hour game. Or did they pay for their own plane tickets. Down and back in a day, or did they stay overnight.

Did anyone from her camp or NC State’s ever say that ?(no.) did her dad ever say “ she not interested in my alma mater whose games she has attended since childhood? ( no) what has her camp said? Nothing. What have the schools said? Nothing, of course.

Everything that has been written about her is speculation . Nobody really knows anything

Her dad told another NC State alumnus. It’s also been obvious for a while that that’s the case.

Also using your standard of evidence there is no reason to think UConn or South Carolina are in it because she hasn’t said anything about them. The whole process has been speculation with her.

I’m pretty sure the only think schools can provide students on unofficial visits are 3 free tickets to home games. I’m assuming you meant to say a school can provide tickets only if it’s an official visit, which isn’t the case. But my assumption might be wrong in which case this post confuses me.

Yes she has. The State wrote an article after her matchup with Joyce, in which she stated UConn and SC are the two expressing the most interest. That part isn’t speculation because it came straight from her mouth.

That doesn’t say anything about her interest in either.

It probably says something about her interest.

How she perceives things is relevant and also something about the feedback she's giving to those schools for them to pursue so hotly.

Neither school really needs to chase after uninterested recruits.

I’m not saying she’s not interested in either school (though I doubt her interest in CT at this point) but to say that her whole recruitment SS been tea leaves.

I’ve heard Kim and staff were planning on making it to a playoff game, so perhaps the finals.

I certainly agree that the whole process has been speculation.

Curious about the report of an NC State alum. Has that been stated by an actual named alum or is it just more i message board reporting about an unnamed, purported alum?
 
The reason I think NC State is out is bc there have been no reports of an official visit or a sighting at a game. We have heard about her attending a Duke game, UNC game, Uconn game, SC game as well as her official visits to Oregon, Uconn, LSU and I thought she visited UCLA as well but I could be wrong.

I also thought I heard she visited Louisville back in the fall as well, but who knows.
 
The Maryland Terps sign JUCO star Isi Ozzi Momodu. She is the big that the Terps haven't had the past two season.

They also got a commitment from a 4 star guard in the 2025 class.
