Non-UConn recruiting thread

You saw that I posted that same tweet yesterday just a few replies above, right? Just making sure . . .

Missed it on a football Saturday

I wouldn't call myself a fan of Mulkey, but she rarely had a lull at Baylor. I think she'll find some players, whether it be from high school or the portal.



Tennessee fans probably think they are in the conversation for the upper tier of the SEC in the coming years, but I have my doubts about the Vols.

Coach Mulkey is a proven commodity and simply does what is needed to win and win big. At this point she and Coach Staley have the two most consistent programs in the SEC. Coach Schaefer is an incredible coach and in my opinion he does better when he has a mix of under the radar specialists along with some top players versus a team of highly ranked players across the lineup. He will have Texas consistently in the mix for the SEC but at this point simply hasn’t produced like the other two.

I agree with Coach Mulkey being a proven commodity, but how can LSU be considered consistent after 2 seasons? Maybe I'm being too literal in how I'm interpreting this, but when I think consistency, it's based on more than 2 years.

Trending upwards, likely one of the top teams in the conference this season? No doubt, I agree 100%. Consistent? The next couple seasons will tell us if this is accurate.

When you win a national title in year 2, chances are more likely you will only go down the following season. Now, Mulkey has the returnees and transfer and high school additions to repeat; but, things would have to fall into place (no injuries and favorable seeding; unexpected upsets to other contenders) like they did last season.

Actually you were not being too literal. That was poor wording on my part. Perhaps a better way of stating it would be the two most consistent coaches in the SEC. However I do still predict those are also going to be the most consistent programs fighting for SEC championship over the course of the next few years.

Agreed. I wouldn’t count out Coach Schaefer. If his team can stay healthy and with Madison Booker, Justice Carlton and, possibly, Aaliyah Chavez as his core, they'll be challenging for sure.

I totally agree. If they get Chavez (which actually may seem likely), Vic and Texas will be VERY GOOD. Final Four is looking their way.

Only 7 weeks left to squeeze in OVs. If prospects want their OVs on weekends, that's not much time left!

Thanks. Many on The Bench were surprised to see Notre Dame on Joyce Edwards list. Heretofore, crickets with player.
Either Niele Ivey has been completely under the radar and/or Edwards enjoyed playing with Hannah Hidalgo so much on the U.S. National Team that she decided to give the Irish a chance. Not getting too high or low on this one, but interesting.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Is the Edwards nugget really accurate considering she just took an official visit to Florida??

 

[Cockygirl]

I really don’t think it is accurate. She has been keeping everything extremely close to the vest.

 

[southie]

Speaking of Florida, surprised they are getting so much traction with the 2024 recruits after the season they had, and all the outgoing transfers.

In 2024 recruiting news not related to bickering about SEC recruiting , one of the top guards for 2024, Britt Prince, announced a list of eleven schools. Plans to commit in October and sign in November. No insight into this but she is Midwest and has some good Big Ten offers. Been a target of my Cyclones for some time but no idea where they stand in this. Would certainly be an interesting scoring guard to pair with Clark for one season at Iowa, assuming Clark comes back. Or USC with their top ranked PG recruit. Weird thinking of USC as Big Ten for 2024!

"Down" to Nebraska, Creighton, Iowa, Iowa State, Indiana, Oklahoma, Oregon, North Carolina, Baylor, USC and Louisville but family says list is actually much smaller in reality. My take is that the long list is just to keep home state Nebraska and Creighton on it so as to not eliminate them early and have Husker fans dissing her.

Per her Instagram stories, 2024 Jordan Lee from California will be announcing her verbal commitment tomorrow, as well as 2024 Justice Carlton (who most believe already committed to Texas this weekend based on a couple of media tweets; but she herself has not posted any news of a commitment on social media).

As a Texas fan, I am optimistic in landing both.

Vic is ready to crush the rest of the SEC (minus SC)

Feeling confident Lee will choose Texas as well. SC is really low on guards so we definitely want Lee as well, but she’s a Longhorn.

No reason to doubt this but what are you seeing to make you think she will choose Texas? I can't find any tea leaves on social media so I'm just curious!

Low on Guards? Well, the cupboard ain't full, but it ain't bare either.

Although your question wasn't directed at me, my confidence comes based on Lee's recent "likes" she gave on twitter to many Longhorn-related tweets.

https://twitter.com/Jordan_lee0730/likes

I thought maybe Lee had visited Texas officially this past weekend along with Justice Carlton and Bryanna Preston as the 3 of them appear to have started following each other on Instagram; but, think she was in NYC competing in some Nike competition. Doesn't seem like she's taken any official visits as far as I can tell. Lee and Preston also started following a lot of Texas players and coaches, but that is typical after an official visit.

Makes sense! Thanks!

I’ll amend my post. I’m referring to pure shooting guards.

Dawn has a habit of stocking up on point guards and playing them off the ball, so of course the cupboard isn’t bare. But Tessa Johnson is the only pure SG on that list (and MAYBE Tehina), and that’s what I was referring to. But Pao Pao is a senior and if her season is great.. bye bye.

Hall is a W/SF
Johnson - point guard
Fulwiley - point guard
McDaniel - point guard

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Fulwiley moved off the ball. But it would be great to see SC get a pure SG out of this class (somebody not expecting to be the primary ball handler, focused on scoring), and I think Lee was the only one we were recruiting.
