U17 and U18 recruiting target observations

[Charliebball]

She had a injury. I'm not sure what the injury was.

There have also been questions about her consistency and motor..............two things that can be fixed by the right coaching staff and/or the player

 

[Volup1]

Kasi Kushkituah, a 6'4" Post from Georgia, has verballed to Tennessee. This is a position of great need for Tennessee, especially if Mercedes Russell decides to forgo her fifth year. Of the eleven players that have or will make official visits to Tennessee two have verballed to Tennessee and one to L'ville. The other eight are still undecided, Four have yet to visit us.

I think she will be a good player. I wonder if her teammate Dodson will follow.

I noticed she is #11 in prospect nation.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of all things Tennessee. After your post about the Tenn Georgia football game, I thought you'd be informing us of the results of the Texas A&M game.

#76 makes her choice........

ESPN #28 Point Guard Amaya Brown being recruited by all the big guns other then UConn

Cibola basketball star Amaya Brown enjoys recruiting

IMO, UConn may well suspect what I do which is she's not leaving the southwest. Especially with Baylor involved.

Rueck likes BIG centers, huh?

She had a injury. I'm not sure what the injury was.

That make sense. A lot of kids drop for that reason. Morgan Tuck was one. Mikayla Coombs was another.

 

[CocoHusky]

If Dodson (their other visitor) gets into Stanford, she is going there. Academics is the main priority for her.

Maya Dodson confirms that her & her parents number 1 priority in a school is academics in this interview.

Can't blame her for that..........getting thru four years of college along with basketball commitments is never easy and it must be must be doubly hard at Stanford......still if you have the ability it's hard to turn down that opportunity

Did Boothe drop Tennessee? Vols fans won't like that.

As Charlie/Raoul/Orangutan passed along yesterday, Ms. Dodson is indeed taking her OV to ND this weekend. She's being joined by our one commitment thus far -- Mikayla Vaughn -- someone that you (CocoHusky) and I discussed last winter (seems like longer). We have this event at the Bookstore for both the boys and girls team, with Ruth Riley helping to emcee. It's a nice change of pace to focus on recruits whose last name does not being with "W".... (at least for this weekend).

Updated finalists for 2017 WBB players (w/espnW rankings) • added Harden • highlighted official visits taken (if known) • noted upcoming OVs

 

[SCGamecock]

If Tenn lands another 2 or so of the recruits that they are still in on they will have a top 5 recruiting class on their hands in my opinion.. especially if those two commitments come from Patterson, Williams, Davis, Dodson, Onyenwere or Westbrook.
