U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

[Dillon77]

Grace Berger attends a local girls catholic high school here. A friend of mine from college, this is her cousins kid. i hope to make it to a couple of her games this year.
I know that she is high on Louisville's list ( I know, I know who is not on their list) and recently made a home visit.
Of course, KY has already been in for a home visit as well.

Oh, she attends Catholic school? I was aware of Coach Jeff's interest. As for Kentucky...geesh, I'd give that "new and improved" vow a year (or three) before
going near that place. I have absolutely no idea if ND is interested in this player, but I like her game. Would be interested in hearing your take on her when you see her play.
I'll send out my Dara Mabrey/Faith Masonius updates from New Jersey!

Looks like someone may have committed to ND.



I think it might be Katlyn Gilbert. All predictions wrong or your money back.

ND had a home visit with Charli Collier today.

Maybe I'm reading too much into the 5 clovers but I think it's a currently recognized 5-star in the 2017. I hope it's Megan Walker, but probably not seeing as she just had a home visit with UCONN.

Gilbert will likely end up as top-35 recruit, but she's not currently recognized as a 5 star player. I know, ESPN's rankings aren't complete yet but still..

I liked you post because of this part "Louisville's list ( I know, I know who is not on their list)" . Thanks for having a great sense of humor.

Could also be Evina Westbrook.

Could even be Collier

Amazing how multi-media -- and this new NCAA regulation regarding use of tweets, etc -- has added a whole new supply chain of things to blog on!
Teaser posts from colleges, pictures of coaches visiting recruits (three ND coaches in Texas! Geno in Va!)! And we thought the late summer/early fall would be slow!
Now why are Irish eyes smiling and when will we find out

It certainly makes it a lot more fun as fans are no longer shut out from what the players are thinking

Collier is class of 2018.

I swear Gilbert used to be #10 on ESPN's rankings. For what it's worth, she is #14 and a 4.5 star player with Prospects Nation.

They badly need to update and expand their rankings. I would have thought they would have had a top 100 for 2017 and expanded 2018 rankings out months ago.

Jeff W is back on the road!!!!

Walz and staff logging plenty of miles

With all the players Louisville's reportedly in on I'm surprised Jeff ever goes home.

I distinctly remember Ms. Gilbert being around 10 or 11 at one point, as well. And I also have wondered why the 2017 ratings have not been expanded now that the process is clearly is into the next cycle.

Isn't that Doug Bruno of DePaul in the picture next to him? Alone together on the road? Brothers/sisters in arms?

Danielle Patterson was scheduled to visit ND on Sept.9-11.

I think that turned out to be incorrect information. I haven't seen a credible source (or any source beyond message board chatter) that gave that date.

I certainly hope I do have it wrong. Selfishly, we really need her to replace Graves.

For what it's worth, someone on the ND Board was on campus that weekend and wandered into the ND Basketball Offices. He didn't see/talk to any coaches but asked a staffer if there were any on-campus visits and he reported that the staffer said, "not this weekend." The B-Ball team was at the Nevada-ND football game and posted several pictures...everyone in them were current team members. Sometimes the visitors hang with the team at games.

Still two more games this month...and we've all read that Walker/Westbrook are due in Sept. 24th.

We'll see.....

Supposedly she signed some financial aid agreement of some kind but yes the LOI can't be signed till Nov 9th

Charlie--excuse my ignorance--(if we ignore the stipend ) what "financial aid" does a Scholarship player require?

 

[SCGamecock]

Could also be Evina Westbrook.

I hope not! Notre Dame can go on without her..

Dan Olson and Susan Arth (the HoopGurlz staff) need help. The 2017 rankings should've been completed by now and a lot of the schools need their committed lists updated.

I have absolutely no idea..........just repeating what was posted.......could be a big nothing
