***WBB: 2024 Recruiting Thread***

Added Brooke Walker to the list.

I just watched a brief video of highlights from her last game of the season -- it's a very good highlight video considering it comes from a single game, and it's also really impressive when you consider her team actually lost the game so it wasn't just some overmatched opponent. Her team lost 50-42, and she had 29 points and 3 assists. She was 12-17 from the field (5-7 3fg) and her teammates were 5-20 (1-7 3fg). You can actually see one of her team's two baskets she didn't score or assist on at the 1:30 mark.

She's #3 in blue.

Have relatives whose kids attend (and compete at) Andover. They first told me what we were getting in a guy named Breece Hall. I asked about Walker and they said she is a "stud" and a fantastic kid. Sounds like a good fit for our program.
 
I just need to quit posting in these threads because I never seem to get the recruiting year right. I thought for sure I read she was a 2024 recruit.

She's on a AAU team with 2024 in their name, so not hard to mistake that for her year and that was my first take also.

Added Lee to the list. She's a very highly-regarded CG/wing out of CA.
Highly regarded 2024 target Olivia Olsen is rated as a "3" as to interest vis-à-vis Iowa State.

With that in mind, when will she see an offer? Is this how the game is played where sought players obtain no offer because we don't want to waste that option until they expressed willingness to commit? Do we then handle that "with and offer" after the fact they have accepted?

I am curious if this is the gambit: follow a high-level recruit closely with no offer as we offer lessers.
 
We also need to keep in mind ISU has a potential roster crunch in 2024-25. If nobody transfers and everyone takes their extra COVID year, we already have 13 out of 15 spots taken (including Tanke, our only current 2024 verbal):

Emily Ryan SSr*
Izzi Zingaro SSr*
Lexi Donarski SSr*
Nyamer Diew SSr*
Maggie Vick Sr
Denae Fritz Jr
Shantavia Dawkins Jr
Addy Brown So
Arianna Jackson So
Audi Crooks So
Jalynn Bristow So
Kelsey Joens So
Aili Tanke Fr
*COVID super-senior

This is the last super-senior season, so we probably do want to get the roster as full as possible given only 8 of the above 13 players will be back in the 2025-26 season barring any redshirts.
