Message: [QUOTE="CBus13, post: 4989380, member: 2999"] I guess that kind of depends on what ranking system you use? I'm assuming you're using the ESPN hoopgurlz for those rankings above. 1. South Carolina's top ranked player out of high school was Raven Johnson (#2 overall, after Azzi 2021) 2. LSU's Angel Reese (#2 overall, after Paige Bueckers) 3. South Carolina's for 2022 Championship was Boston, who was #3 overall behind Jones and Horston. Stanford, Haley Jones was #1 for her class. [COVID] Baylor, Lauren Cox was #1. 4. Notre Dame, top rated player out of high school was Brianna Turner who was number 2 in 2014 but I don't think she played? so, then it would push to Jessica Shepherd who was #3 overall in 2015. South Carolina, A'ja Wilson was number 1 Uconn – Stewie, Katie Lou [I believe injured for the Championship Game] 2012–2016 UConn – Stewie, Kaleena UConn – Stewie, Kaleena UConn – Stewie Kaleena Baylor, Brittney Griner [it's still wild to think hoopgurlz had long debates about whether Griner or Kelsey Bone would be #1, I never saw them play in high school though] 5. Texas A&M, top ranked player was potentially Karla Gilbert #10 overall in 2010, but I can't find Hoopgurlz earlier than 2007. But I think 2006's top recruit was Tina Charles, Courtney Paris before that, and then Candace Parker, Brittany Hunter. ~6. I don't think Maryland had any number 1 recruits when they won in 2004. [this is a guess based on who won top player awards, gatorade and USA Today] #1 ranked players by Hoopgurlz to not win National Championships since 2007: Courtney Paris [Final Four], EDD [Sweet 16 with Delaware], Chiney Ogwumike [three Final Fours], Mercedes Russell [Elite Eight], Megan Walker [four final fours], Christyn Williams [four final fours]. And so far, Paige and Azzi, Lauren Betts, and Juju Watkins. [/QUOTE]
