U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

I think it is worth noting that a certain University is not listed among Gilbert's finalists. ;)

Elite guard prospect Katlyn Gilbert commits to Notre Dame women's hoops
Expand ...

Is that because Jeff missed his flight to Indy? ;)
Like CocoHusky, appreciate the sense of humor.

Gilbert has been on ND's radar and visiting the place unofficially for quite some time. This does not surprise Irish followers....timing earlier than we've had in awhile, but -- hey -- we'll take it!
 
Don't know much about post player Aliyah Boston aptly from Massachusetts ranked #10.....nice to see NE players make the list

After an all too brief flirtation with UConn the Australian recruit has made a decision:

WBB: Chantel Horvat, 6-1 wing from Australia (2017), has committed to UCLA, over Washington, Duke, and Oregon State

Sounds like a big get for UCLA. ESPN has her top 15 in the class coincidently just below Mikayla Coombs. I believe the UCONN flirtation with Horvat ended right after UCONN got a verbal from Coombs.
 
For all the problems Tennessee has had in recent years they sure seem to stay on lots of highly-regarded players' lists.

Curveball. Dawn plays recruiting close to the vest, but even still, there are ways to get information on who we're looking at. No idea where this even came from. Completely out of nowhere.

Interesting, indeed. A few weeks back, a Texas Tech board posted a few schools she was going to (I remember TT and Tenn? Others?). Now she's headed further east. Seems the only schools I have not heard "boo" about are the ones listed on her HG profile -- CONSIDERING Connecticut Huskies, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Duke Blue Devils,Utah Utes - but that may say more about Hoopgurlz. My go-to phrase on virtually all recruiting stories...."stay tuned."
 
Louisville has a huge weekend on tap. College Game Day is on campus for the matchup with FSU.

Our last two (primary) recruiting targets for 2017 are on their officials. Their are two scholly's available, and best I can tell, 3 vying for them:
Dana Evans (who is on her last official visit to TN this weekend), Destiny Littleton (who is at Lou. this weekend and taking her 3rd of 5 scheduled visits) and Michaela O. who is also on her official to Lou. this weekend. I know Michaela O was at Duke a weekend or so ago, and has TN on the books for mid Oct., if she is still on the board. Not sure who else she may be looking at.
Hoping our 2017 class winds up quickly after this weekend.

Jade seems to be conflicted (Nothing wrong with that BTW) she narrowed her list, then expanded, then expanded it to now include SC.

I agree. This is the first I'm hearing of ANY communication between Jade and SC... no unofficial or home visits or anything.

@Orangutan & @Dillon77 how is Brianna progressing post shoulder surgery? ND and WCBB need for her to be healthy.
Expand ...

As far as I know she's on schedule. Surgery was done in April and when it was done it was said that full recovery would take 6 months. She's still limited for now but is expected to be fully cleared when practices start in October.

Coach Ivey, Bri, and the athletic trainer were joking last week about someone throwing Bri a lob, which she successfully finished. A good sign for her recovery but needless to say the athletic trainer was less than thrilled:

Almost all recruiting info comes from the circle around a recruit because colleges take seriously the restrictions on not commenting on a recruit. Only a few college coaches do the twitter 'big news coming' or 'big weekend on campus' teasers.

ndwbb basketball recently posted this this video and at the tail end of it
you'll see Brianna in the workout regime and doing some shout outs afterwards.


She also joined her teammates at the season-opening football game vs. Nevada and I've include a picture of her, harness-less, so that's very good news (she was wearing it during a student-aboard trip to S. Africa in June).


BTW, those are frosh Erin Boley (furthest left) and Jackie Young (next to Erin), with Brianna firmly positioned in the middle (where she belongs!). :D:cool:

Long story short...while ND Basketball has not posted anything official, things look promising for Brianna. Perhaps Muffet will address it when practice starts in early October.

On another injury front, Ali Patberg was practicing in early July and had discomfort in her knee. Upon examination, doctors removed some bone spurs and she's on the mend from that. While working out, I'm not certain where this latest procedure puts here. I'm sure that will be brought up in early October.

There was this from McGraw in the South Bend Trib article about the schedule - "McGraw said junior post sensation Brianna Turner has been limited to just shooting after shoulder surgery last spring. Also, sophomore backup point guard Ali Patberg, who missed all of last season with a torn ACL, has had some setbacks in her recovery. Both are expected to be cleared by the time workouts begin for real in mid-October."

Very true. Dawn occasionally does this when she tweets things like "a little bird just flew into the nest" or about how she's going to see future Gamecocks on the road.

What's very interesting about Jade taking an official to SC is that prior to this there was little communication between the two parties... not too long ago Jade even released a top 4 (or 5) for official visits and none of those schools listed were South Carolina. So it makes me wonder, what happened within the time frame of barely two weeks that caused Jade to reconsider SC and vice versa..

Thanks for that. Here's a clip from her hometown paper on the bone spur procedure. Apparently, knock on wood, she'll be
ready to roll in October. Let's hope so...kid's been though a lot her frosh year and summer!

Michaela Onyenwere has really risen quickly in the rankings. Evans and Onyenwere would be really nice additions for the Cardinals, as you have plenty of height and Onyenwere would bring valuable quickness at SF. And who doesn't need an elite PG?

A shame that Geno won't have a chance to work with her..............I can't think of any recruit that could have benefited from his guidance more...................
