You are simply not earning your NIL from Cheerwine

The Bears picked up their second commitment of their 2025 class this week with the commitment of 5’10 state champion Detroit Edison Academy SG Isis Johnson-Musah weeks after her official visit to Cal. The newest Bear also stars for her Michigan Crossover AAU squad after averaging 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists a game in her junior season.

Isis Johnson-Musah chooses Cal

Isis Johnson-Musah chooses Cal

The Detroit Edison program seems to develop nationally ranked talent consistently. Saw them live a couple times when I was in Michigan for exposure events Ontario teams would attend. Learned through a friend that they're unable to compete nationally due to state rules for high school basketball. Thought that was unfortunate as they've had some competitive teams when Rickea Jackson and DeeDee Hahnemann were there.

What's with Iowa plucking post players out of the Northwest all of a sudden?

Ava Heiden has family in Iowa. Layla Hayes aunt, Leah Magner, played on former HC Lisa Bluder's first teams when she got the Iowa job, Jan Jensen was on staff too.

Def feel like SC would be the favorites with these finalists or TCU who is close to home

If you are talking about conference play, it's a bit preemptive. Hasn't quite started yet.

Iowa was out here I think twice in 22-23, the Nike tournament in Portland and then the Regionals in Seattle.

Ran across this while perusing the Hawks 2025 commit news this weekend. Whole family flew in at their expense so an unofficial visit.

Could be. NIL could also influence her decision, and LSU is not too far away from her Houston home. Depth chart could deter her away from SC depending on her projected position in college.

A college newspaper writing about an unsigned girls' high school basketball recruit is not the norm . . .

All eyes on Aaliyah Chavez: women’s basketball scouting No. 1 player in 2025 class

The Longhorns are in contention for the No. 1 player in the women’s basketball 2025 class. After securing five-star guard Aaliyah Crump in July, head coach Vic Schaefer and Texas aren’t stopping there. Aaliyah Chavez is the highest-ranked recruit in the 2025 class and has Texas in her top six...

On paper, Chavez’s game speaks for itself, but off the court people have plenty of things to say. Amarillo sports insider Lance Lahnert has covered the area for more than 40 years and says he has never seen a prospect like Chavez.

“Aaliyah Chavez is one-of-one,” Lahnert said. “By that I mean her impact on a basketball court and off has pretty much never before been seen in the 806 by a high school player … I’ve never seen a Kim Mulkey show up in Plainview, Texas, for a blowout bi-district game like last year just to see Chavez.”

Chavez’s recruitment is an interesting spectacle as well due to NIL and the rise of popularity in women’s basketball. Lahnert says any school that invests in her will have a big payout.

“Wherever Chavez decides to take her skills — and I hear the NIL number is north of a $1 million buckos — that team immediately gets much better because of her basketball IQ and skills,” Lahnert said.

While this is a hefty price to pay, Longhorn fans are eager for her commitment. Texas Exes’ social ambassador Jack Maddox, also known as “Bevo Hat Guy,” has shown support for Chavez in her comment section. Maddox believes Chavez will be a massive hit for the Longhorns.

“She’s a generational talent,” Maddox said. “I think it would impact fan attendance by bringing more people over. There will definitely be a Caitlin Clark effect once she proves herself at games.”

Chavez has yet to officially visit the other front-runner in her recruitment, Texas Tech; however, On3.com estimates that Tech currently leads in her recruitment, favorited at 32.5%, with Texas trailing at 28.4%.

I wouldn't think so unless she demands a starting position which doesn't seem likely.

A lot of opportunity to play behind Fulwiley and Tessa Johnson as a freshman. Currently a relatively thin depth chart at guard/wing.
