Recruiting Class 2015

Some information on a few of our 2015 Post Recruits
Jordan Moore 6’4 plays for Stony Point High School in Round Rock, TX
Her numbers are 15ppg 8rpg 1spg and 2bpg for a 29-8 team. She was the 2012-2013 All Central Texas Girls basketball Newcomer of the year. I think she’s on the same AAU team as Cox, there AAU teams Texas Elite and NT United merged can’t find out what schools she’s interested in but she looks to be a legit top 100 kid. has offers from Texas, Iowa State, and South Carolina.

Ksenija Madzarevic 6’6 played for Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga, TN last season, but this year she’s playing at Rabun Gap-Nacoochee High School in Rabun Gap, GA. She’s originally from Serbia; her numbers on the season are 8ppg, 1apg, 5rpg, 1spg, and 3bpg. She sounds like a she’s still a little raw but has great size; she wants to play in the WNBA after college.

Theresa Ekhelar 6’6 plays for Life Center Academy in Woodbridge, NJ. She’s a legit 6’6 and likes to run the floor mobile in transition and vocal on defense, she also jumps for rebounds. Has gotten interest from UGA, GT, Lville, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, MSU, Baylor, UK, Miami, Syracuse, Rutgers and UVa and WVU. It’s been reported that Penn State could be the leader for her. I can’t find her stats but she has had a few double doubles this year.

Zada Williams 6’1 plays for Lake Wales High School in Lake Wales, FL, she sounds like a 4/3 wing more then a undersized post her numbers are 13ppg, 12rpg 2bpg 1apg and 2spg. She can jump out of the gym
Her team is 17 – 12 and have a some really bad loses including an 76-18 blowout in the state playoffs where she scored 13 of the teams 17 points.

Ashley Hearn 6’4 plays for Sachse high school in Rowlett, TX. Her numbers are 10ppg, 8rpg, and 2bpg. It’s been said that she has an active motor but can also be inconsistent (saw a video of her, taking plays off) so it sounds like she is going to need to be pushed to take advantage of her talents, nice face-up stroke, great athlete, exceptional transitional player who runs the floor better than most guard. Hoopgurlz said she can be a star in college. She camped at USC and UCLA in 2012

Brook Alexander ‘6 wing/forward plays for PRESTONWOOD CHRISTIAN in PLANO, TX. Her team is 24-9. I can’t find any stats for her but she plays on the same AAU team as Cox and Jordan Moore. Can’t find any schools she’s looking at but she was voted MVP of a Texas a&m summer camp. She also attended the home opener for UT.

Nora Keisler the 6’6 Kentucky is a heavy Louisville lean.

Hearn and Alexander would be a great 2015 class, but if we can take 3 then Theresa Ekhelar could be what some of us were hoping Griffin would be/ become, a 6’6 post player who can jump and get off the floor. Zada Williams would allow Sherri to stick with a 4 guard line up, she can rebound but can also put the ball on the floor, we have been hitting the state of Florida hard recruiting, I could see Williams becoming a Sooner. Hearn seems to be the only elite recruit were looking at but the Summer AAU season should change girls rankings.

Hailey Tucker sounds like a big guard with range, what's her level of competition like?
 
There is not much info available on Tucker. What I do like is the fact here mother was all-state in high school and she played basketball in college at UCO and then became a coach. She is an assistant coach now in Bartlesville.

Tucker's Dad was also an all-stater who averaged more than 25 points per game in high school. Coming from a basketball family and the daughter of a coach could not hurt at all.

Tucker averages 22.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.3 blocked shots.

We do know she has several offers already from schools such as Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Tulsa, New Mexico, and the University of Washington.

Bartlesville is a 6A school so they play tough competition.

I hope there is more info. coming out about her in the next few months.
 
I see Sachse as Garland Sachse and Rowlett Sachse. It is Sachse, Tx, west of Rowlett, north of Garland. It's a small community in area just north of Firewheel Mall. I think she may have transferred in from Bishop Lynch. Sachse is actually a 5A school that plays against Rowlett and Garland. She has no idea where she wants to go. She does run track (sprints) and does the highjump.

She is a very intelligent young lady.

I think that Brooke is a heavy OU lean. She and Lauren Cox have, supposedly, taken many trips to Norman together to watch OU play.
 
I saw Brooke play in first round playoff game tonight and she scored 17points 8 boards and 6 assists playing the 2guard and point guard. They are ranked 2nd in state in top private schools.
 
Can we sign more than one? Unless someone transfers, we have:

2014-15
Campbell
Kornet
Williams
Little
Manning
Carter
Edwards
Kellogg
Gibbs
Wyatt

Ortiz
Pierre-Louis
Williams
Penzo

That's fourteen. We can sign one, unless someone transfers or quits.

We only graduate Sharane, and we have Dungee committed for her scholarship. So, we don't have any scholarships available for 2016.
 
I don't think we'll see any transfers this summer, Wyatt was the player I thought would transfer. She seems like she could be really good, but can't seem to get real minutes this year and next year could be even harder, but after learning more about her and her back story I can't see her wanting to be any where else but OU, and that really good for team morale. There is a chance Gibbs could be dismissed from the team. We really don't want to go in to next season with just Kay Kay and Louis in the post, so even thought Kellogg hasn't helped much this season, we need her to stay, As of right now well have more post players then Uconn next season.
 
James posted about our 2015 recruiting over on OUinsider, If you have a paid Membership you can see what he posted,

Thanks AustinTXSooner for responding over there.
 
Couple of new names mentioned by Hale.
Won't repeat them.

Scholarship crunch due to too many combo guards not enough forwards/posts will likely resolve itself.
Penzo, Williams, Little, Carter all vying for the same minutes at 2 guard?
 
Gibbs is not on an athletic scholarship. Remember? We all talked about that.

I'm not sure she counts in the totals. Someone with better knowledge than me may want to try to clear that up.

Gibbs is on Scholarship.

However we have more scholarships available than Sybarite's count:

For 2014-15
Seniors (1)
Campbell
Juniors (2)
Kornet
Williams, K
Sophomore (6)
Little
Manning (could be eligible for 6th yr...will be determined after 2016-17)
Carter
Edwards
Kellogg
Gibbs
Wyatt
Freshman (4)
Ortiz
Pierre-Louis
Williams, L
Penzo

That totals 14 players for 14-15...Sharane leaves giving us 2 scholarships for 2015. Then 2 leave in the next class giving us 2 scholarships for 2016 (Dungee and 1 other player). This assumes no transfers, etc....eventually someone is likely to decide they prefer playing time at a lower level rather than sit on the bench at OU.
 
Lets keep in mind that Manning is going to be a Jr next season, there is a chance she could want to graduate with Kornet.

I think you're right, but that is seven sophomores rather than six.

So, we have two this year and one next year (Dungee already committed)?
 
She is long and athletic. Skill level isn't great but has a lot of potential.
