Its her younger sister.

Denim instead of Diamond? Talk about spinning the Wheel of Name Fortune and landing on BANKRUPT. I'd want a new spin at the name wheel if I were her.

If you were her? I heard she loves her name so, if you were her you would do as she does. Now since you are you, you’re are critical of HER name. Stop it. Lol

Damiya Hagemann has committed to Michigan State.

Does Denim wear Diamond's "genes"?

You might say she grew into it.

Let me set up while I wait for some recruiting news outta Duke

 

[DaBball]

Rayah Marshall committed to USC. Nice class for them with she and Akunwafo.

I have a feeling your gonna get a big recruit. Kara is unproven at this young point of her coaching career but she is a known commodity and Duke can recruit itself. I think bright future is ahead ;-)

Recruiting is only half the battle, but schools like USC and Cal are doing a really nice job lately. The Pac ain't gonna get any easier any time soon. The teams on top look to be staying in good shape, but some from the lower half are trying to move up.

UCLA has been having trouble recruiting and just lost all three of the top 2021 Cali players, two to USC, one to Stanford. To lose a player to Stanford is understandable, but losing the other two to USC is not. 2020 had three international players, all unranked and the Australian Center is thought to be staying in Australia because of the pandemic. 2021 has a five star NJ guard but the next few seasons, whenever they will be played, will be interesting in the Pac.

Damiya Hagemann has committed to Michigan State.

This is great news for the real MSU. Michigan has been winning the recruiting battle against MSU the last couple of seasons. Good to see MSU fight back big time. I like their 2021 class with PG Hagemann, followed by Brooklyn Rewers (6'5" center) via Duke, Lauren Walker (6'2" wing) via Duke, and Canadian center Isaline Alexander (6'3").

So what's up with that? UCLA has been the better program than USC, by a wide margin, for a long time. Several recent UCLA alums in the WNBA, USC...anyone other than Gemelos? Why would recruits suddenly be preferring USC to UCLA?

A nicer lady than Cori Close you'll never meet. But many basketball people (outside of UCLA fans, that is) question her coaching. I think some people thought she underachieved with her #1 class several years back although she's been the best and most consistent UCLA wbb coach since Moore. UCLA has historically had superb classes but when you have one of the worst coaches in the entire nation (Kathy Olivier), good things will be tough to come by.

As for picking USC over UCLA, Trakh is very well liked and respected in the local basketball community and academically, it has been picking up well. But in the end, I agree that USC over UCLA in wbb is a head scratcher.

I do not understand somebody questioning Cori’s coaching when she wins. Also, I do not think her talent level justifies her record last year. If her coaching acumen is been questioned in coaching circles it is wholy subjective and not based on facts. Should recruits not consider winning record of program as a judge of coaching?
