Bad news for McKenna Woliczko.


Dang....this injury -- the ACL -- almost seems to be a rite of passage for way-too-many players (It was just announced Ashlyn Watkins suffered a similar injury).

Al the best to her during surgery and rehab and hope to see her distinct brand of hustle and smarts sooner rather than later.

In the midst of the dual point guard attack that comprises Olivia Miles and Hannah Hidalgo, Coach Ivey of Notre Dame is looking ahead to when Hidalgo (due to graduate in 2027) is no longer on the court.

To that extent, she's made offers to several point guards:
  • Class of 2026: Kate Harpering and Autumn Fleury, both of whom have visited Notre Dame; and,
  • Class of 2027: Kaleena Smith and Jezelle Banks (noted above in the post by ND Hoops Recruits).
All, of course, are being offered by many schools: Banks by South Carolina, LSU and Texas, in addition to the Irish.
For more background, click on the link within the post.

Hey...anyone:
Need a reminder on changes to/timing of official visits...
  • I know a prospect can now have unlimited official visits but only take one per school.
  • However, when can they start doing so? It used to be just after the Women's Finals, but I could've sworn that was moved up (February?), but my google isn't reacting with zounds of proof.
Can someone verify and/or set me straignt?

Thanks.

My interpretation is any time after June 1 of their soph year of highschool except during recruiting dead periods . I think there is a dead period during the finals that ends “just after the “women’s finals”

Thx for feedback.
I've seen many trips the Class of 2026 have taken in late 2024 and even just after New Years 2025 referred to as "unofficial" and, yes, they comply with the rules and times designated by the NCAA.

Can't get the idea that the "official" visits (the ones paid totally by the school) has been moved up to February of their junior year or so (but not as early as Sept. of their junior year).

Hmmm, what was she thinkin

BYU isn't good today but I am guessing their Canadian freshman Delaney Gibb will be freshman of the year in the Big 12. One of the top freshman last year in the Big 12, Kailey Woolston, is on an 18-month "mission" and will be back. She was the top three point shooter in the league last year. Going to have a good guard court at some point in the future.

A friend told me Princeton is good today, tomorrow, and forever, and lifetime wampum likely exceeds a little up-front NIL

This rule is violated pretty regularly and I think mostly because it doesn't make much sense in certain circumstances. For example, say you have a recruit that is an international player, but they attend a school in the US. The only option you have is the family home if you do a home visit in the home country. If the family isn't comfortable opening up their home, then what? Just seems stupid that you can't do the visit somewhere else.

Hold on. Context is required for this as I recall reading this article. Yes Tennessee got flagged for a violation, however two other programs did the same thing per the recruit and nothing has come out about them yet.

A quote from the article:

"The prospect confirmed to the compliance office that coaches from other schools had already visited her at that location before UT did. A university spokesperson told Knox News that UT doesn't know if the other schools were reported for the same violation.

But the indication is that no one had a problem with how the prospect was recruited until the Lady Vols came on the scene."

Apparently it's a minor violation as the coach completed an off-site visit at the business of the recruit's parent.
