Personally, I don't think things like this (or indications of Reese's character) belong on this board. At one time I would have been okay with it, but the spewing of hatred on the web has gotten to me lately.

The negativity about two excellent rookies needs to stop. Comments on videos wer funny for a while, but now I feel simple disgust.

Here here. They're two of a great group that joined the league this season. The fans, especially the younger ones, have come out to support them which is what we as fans have been hoping to see. The comments from fans trying to one up their favourite against the other doesn't help things.
 
Never heard of those twins. Are they actually any good?

Don't worry, they already have a deal with PUMA that would help supplement this. ;)

That's a fair take regarding negativity/hatred spewing, but this was referring to a retweet made by Divine Bourrage who is the #5 2025 HS recruit out of Iowa. Bourrage didn't include Iowa in her top 6 and I was responding to a comment made by a poster who noted Iowa didn't make her final list. The negativity toward Clark could indirectly indicate some dislike of Iowa as well from Divine.

The post had nothing to do with the Reese/Clark debacle. For what it's worth, I'm a huge fan of both and it seems like those 2 like each other fine. Clark has always been complimentary of Reese, Angel similarly has made nice comments about Clark and just stated she hopes they're on the Olympic team together in 2028.

Bourrage and family have appeared for sometime to actively dislike Clark and Iowa, as is their right. Iowa and Bourrage have long since moved on from each other in terms of recruitment. Iowa not making her top 6 list was no surprise.

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. ;)

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

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

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?

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.
