Good...even necessary...get for Coach Coquese Washington and Rutgers. Coach Q got one of the "Jersey Girls" to stay home. Now, we'll see if she gets the other -- Mikayla Blakes -- to do the same.
The only thing I've seen online is in October, Blakes and Rudolph would be committing "soon."
This is basically Coach Washington and staff's first "full" recruiting season at RU since she came on so late the previous year, so this is obviously a huge get.
As a Jersey guy, I totally agree with you. Blakes plays for Rutgers Prep and their coach is a Rutgers icon, so that could open things up for Coach Q. As you know, there's a lot of good ball in the state, from the Jersey Shore to Newark and Paterson and the Bergen/northern Passaic area. Getting two frosh on top of Adams would be a statement and possible "get in the door" statement.
Certainly doesn't hurt that the men's team just brought in their top recruit of all time in New Jersey's Dylan Harper (ranked #2 nationally).
Papa Harper has certainly bought into Steve Pickiell's stewardship and/or Rutgers as a whole.
I’ve always liked Steve, all the way back to his UConn playing (or mostly non-playing) days. Seemed like a good guy.
Did I just read a 6'6" wing?
ESPN's HoopGurlz recruiting reports are a shell of their former selves and even in the best of times very few international players got much recruiting coverage? No one had even heard of Alanna Smith before she committed to Stanford and she left as a decorated All-American. I tend to think almost all overseas recruits are overlooked unless major program like UConn is notably interested in them early, and so they attract the attention of the services.
Thanks. You speak truth on this subject. Most of my knowledge on Canadian players has come from our fine contributor,
Sorry...I'll clarify: I was watching her on internet feeds when she was still playing for Ukrainian junior teams.
Yep, Yep!
I didn't see the poll or you would have had three Vandy votes. I think Shea gets it done.
I wonder if Marisa Mosely built a relationship with her while she was coaching at Boston U. Other than that, I'm not sure what the connection could be.
Well then. Let's do a poll on the BY. Mine was a google form as I had to give multiple options for each player. Link below:
