I have to think we will have a visitor this weekend and if we do get one it has to be Kennedy Smith or Jaloni Cambridge. Mackenly Randolph will be at ND and Joyce will be at Texas A&M
Why is Dawn recruiting so many PGs. All of them can't play. I guess she is going to play some at the 2, maybe Fulwiley. Saw her some in HS and know that she is good at creating her own shot.

Dawn wants guards that can handle and pass no matter the position. Raven and PaoPao are PGs. Fulwiley played PG in HS because she has the handle and the vision but also in HS you put the ball in the best players hands. I doubt Fulwiley plays point except in blowouts. All three are 5’10” so they can defend both guard positions

It looks like someone is on campus bc Raven just posted to her stories a video of her in front of the backdrop they use for recruit visits.

Adhel now has a timer for 13+ days for her commitment. I believe she still hasn't visited UNC so that means we were her last visit.
Louisville fan here. Why do you think she will not visit UNC? There are still 2 weekends where UNC is playing FB at home, if they plan recruiting weekends around big games.

My thoughts are UNC has two freshmen post players which includes the #3 player Ciera Toomey. They also have a commitment this year from 6’5” Blanca Thomas. That would make Tac the fourth post player in a 2 year window.

Toomey redshirting probably was the final straw for Adhel. That would mean she's would be sharing a class with both Toomey and Blanca.

I still wonder how much this guy really knows but it makes sense that she would drop us after the McDaniel commitment

I would think that if she is afraid of competition...them "Laywidthebutter" would be on her mind more than McDaniel

Her sister is at OSU. LSU has a freshman PG and another committed this cycle. UF has a 5* PG Commit. L’ville and Baylor need a PG Badly.

At the risk of being the old man with the shakey fist yelling at the sky about all that is wrong about sports

I think this has more to do with twins forgoing their own paths. Haley was the more talented twin and transitioned well while at Miami and Hanna was a bench warmer at Miami. I believe Hanna wanted to move on to something else and like many twins who did everything together she followed suit. I'm assuming Haley realized how she missed basketball and decided to go her own way.

Any updates on how Kennedy Smith's visit went this weekend?
I have no inside info but she just posted what appears to be the pics from her official visit to UCLA, which is definitely odd considering the timing. It does now make me think that South Carolina was her last official visit when it was previously reported that she had us and UCLA still remaining before this weekend. Of course, she could have visited UCLA way before last weekend since she is a local. Either way, I really hope to see the South Carolina visit pics soon haha

Looks like Sarah Strong is going to UCONN...


My assumption was we were never really in the running for Strong. She and Edwards were never going to the same place (a little premature I know)

I would rather see Strong at UCONN than at LSU. It looks like LSU is going to whiff after their #1 class. We also whiffed after the freshies signing only Russell, but we did bring in Cardoso.

looks like the Huskies and the Gamecocks will have the top classes with Texas very close.

LSU asst coach Gary Redus put out some very interesting tweets after their in home with Strong which made it sound like she had committed. He kind of looks like an idiot now if she is indeed UConn bound. LSU posters on their board are saying the only recruit he has pulled in was Morrow.

LSU On3 has an update on recruiting. Says Strong is still very much a battle between LSU and Uconn. Says they will do an in home with Joyce sometime the week after her Texas A&M visit and before her visit to us.
Trying to schedule and in home with Cambridge.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I think it is very likely they strike out on the recruiting trail this year. This will be rough with all they are losing after this year.

I’m just glad their in home is before and not after her sc visit unless she pulls a Morrow which I think is very unlikely

It’s hard to knock Mulkey’s success, she knows what she is doing, no matter whether I like or respect her.

That said, her last three classes of recruiting at Baylor were a significant down turn from the previous decade. She only signed 3 players total in those three years. Of course they were all 5 star. She inherited her first class at LSU which was not in the top 25. Her second class was ranked 17.

Obviously last year’s class was #1. That said, if she whiffs on her top 3, it merits a look see. It would mean that last year’s class would be a distinct outlier from the other 5 in that 6 year period.

Of course there are some explainable circumstances. Right now we stack classes to compete for national titles. Mulkey did that at Baylor. But if form holds, 5 out of her last 6 don’t even compete for league titles.

I am in no way saying she is over the hill or lost her touch. I’m just saying it’s worth paying attention to her results. Can she rebound with her ‘25 class or are they moving to a portal driven model

Your lips to God's ears. Maybe somebody knows something about the Dime Store Queen's ticker that the public at large doesn't know - maybe something with longevity implications.
