WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Seems to a be quite a few later entries into the portal. Some of this could be impacted by teammates bailing, sort of a snowballing or dominos effect. However, some are likely to have a destination half set up before they declare. Not tampering initiated by the school per se but by family or friends but the schools would still be complicit in it. As dirty as MBB recruiting is I can't believe WBB recruiting in the portal is all pure and clean.
Matharu and Harmon? Gaston and Holle? Don't follow Texas wbb closely but I haven't seen anything about any of them leaving.
Iowa message boards feel Williams will end up at OU. There was a comment to the effect she is looking for better offers than what she has and didn't attend many games at CHA.
Seems to be getting a bit of recruiting attention for an unranked player. Our offer is obviously off the board but we did offer her last summer. Unless she explodes over the summer or something it's hard to imagine offers better than Iowa, OU etc.
Probably not a coincidence she was offered today. OU was a finalist for Crooks, and I'm guessing they offered Williams once they no longer needed to hold a spot for Crooks.
I believe Drake offered Williams while Jennie was still there, so there's definitely already a relationship there.
If you look at "Right Said Mreds" 2023 Recruiting Thread, Blue Star has Sahara Williams rated at #27, so she has at least one ranking. I saw her play several times, once against Kelsey Joens, and I really like her. She is aggressive, has an all-around game and plays "bigger" than the listed 5'10.
I've been an advocate of going mercenary, and if that means "recruiting over" a present verbal commit, so be it. Sahara Williams can shoot the three, take it to the rim and rebound. I'd rather have an all-around player than another spot up shooter who can't create. JMHO - it's a tough world out there...

This is interesting and makes a lot of sense with a good base of state of Minnesota fans following HS, Big 10 and WNBA Lynx.
Not centrally located but a good choice IMO, a lot of the states that care about hoops are nearby Mn, Iowa, Wi, Nebby WBB not a bad trip for Indiana and Michigan fans. The Cities have a lot of fun stuff to do (as long as it doesn't blizzard
)

I’m an Esmery Martinez fan - she’s a quality player who appeared under-utilized during last season’s WVU dumpster fire. Too bad she’s going to Mulkey, but I’m glad she’s going to play her final season somewhere she can have some success!LSU women's basketball, Kim Mulkey add two West Virginia transfers
