Non-UConn recruiting thread

Not sure what that means.

Mind telling us what the article says? There's a paywall for me.

Basically she wants to go to a school with high energy. She talked about each of her top 10 teams. Doesn't say more than a sentence about most of the teams except LSU but I'm pretty sure that is one of the only schools she has visited. Also says she likes the idea of staying home and going to Texas Tech.

In regards to SC she says she likes the idea of going to a winning team and the SC coaching staff is recruiting her well.

She has visited LSU, Texas, and Texas tech. But will pretty much visit all of those schools in her top 10 during the fall for officials

Excited to see where she ends up. Word on the street is Texas, LSU and tech are her stop schools but time will tell if she leaps and leaves Texas further.

CY Fair has some nice talent. Ayla McDowell will be a good pickup for someone

When it comes to academics, a good group of schools to chose from. Don't know enough about Yale or California's basketball programs though.

Duke is getting on a lot of these lists. Coach Lawson needs to start reeling some of these kids in, or else I might have to drive down to Durham and meet with the Athletic Director.

Here's another recruit where Duke made the cut.

Easy there. She's made some decent headway in that area. Trust the process and the Sisterhood.

Dunno why TCU is even on that list. This ain't football.

That won't help the cause...they need more NIL

I guess I may have to rethink my long standing policy of never playing the lottery.

Its because she has a long history with the coach who used to Coach at Oregon. She won't end up at TCU though but I understand why they made the cut

If a coach loses TDF, they need to hang it up. #influencer

Because their old coach used to be the Associate Head Coach at Oregon. Oregon was on her (from what I saw) a few years ago. But whenever Mark Campbell left, and went to TCU—so did several former Ducks. And so did Davidson. That’s why they’re in her top 6. Wouldn’t be shocked if she visited there also. She’s going to visit UCLA in October. She’s gotten close with Sienna Betts. So I guess UCLA is in the lead for her right now?

I feel like USC is in the drivers seat for jazz right now but she hasn't finished visiting everyone

Campbell left Oregon for Sacramento State in 2021; he was then hired by TCU in 2023. I know Sedona Prince ended up transferring to TCU prior to this past season, and Campbell did most likely have an impact on that decision, but so did probably returning to her home state (and a 3 hour drive from her hometown). Not sure any other Oregon transfer followed him to TCU last season. Taylor Bigby will be at TCU this season after going from Oregon to Southern Cal last season.

In looking at TCU's upcoming roster, they have to have more multi-transfer players than anyone in the country. I've heard of "Second Chance U" in the past, but TCU seems like "Third Chance U" . . .

Oh I see. Anyway, as a SMU fan, I don't want to see TCU succeed in anything.

Interesting post from someone I follow on Twitter. Their comment about Clark and Watkins staying home and building up their programs caught my attention. Could that be the pitch for Texas Tech?

 

[GirlBoo1020]

Strong is not a 5 at the next level, not at 6’2. Koval I’m sure could slide into the 4 spot at times but will primarily be a 5 in college. Both very different players

Don't let Geno see this, he'll see it as a challenge and have her start at center all four years.

I heard last year Chavez wanted to stay in Texas, I assumed UT but maybe Texas Tech has a chance?
It's funny this guys uses Juju and Clark because I'm not sure they are staying home without Plum and Sabrina staying home and getting to the final four before them. Also Juju and Clark both went to fairly well established programs in USC and Iowa (who went to the Elite Eight and had a NPOY the year Clark committed) so Texas Tech should probably go the Sabrina/Plum root anyways.

She's a great talent so I am curious where she ends up.

Let’s not forget NIL which her Dad pointed out as being an important factor. TTevh is like SCar in that every player gets the same collective split. Indeed Tech and Scar started at about the same time paying $ 25K per year “base pay.” Don’t know what it is per year at Tech now ( rumor is Scar going to $50K this year due to a matching donation to the collective)

It’s a solid base even at 25. Of course, much much more can be earned in privately negotiated NIL. However, my point is TTech does have an ante to sit at the table.

Plum and Sabrina are both from California, and went to school at Washington and Oregon, respectively. How, exactly did "Plum and Sabrina stay[] home[.]"

My mistake, I lump all of that part of the country together into one state!

Iowa established, I'll give you. USC hadn't been considered an established program for some time. Until this season, it had been more than 15 years since they made the NCAA in consecutive seasons.

Of course it's Texas Tech's pitch! What else could it be? They haven't made the NCAA tournament since 2013, and not under coach Krista Gerlich. She's going into the final year of her five year contract and does not have an extension in place. If Chavez were to choose Texas Tech and sign in November (barely one week into the collegiate season), what a huge risk. Tech is not a program on the upward trajectory, and I don't believe they are projected to make the NCAA tournament in March.
