Recruiting classes

1st time in a long time no big 12 team is listed, I think OU can catch Baylor and Texas going forward, a lot will decide on what players each school can bring in for the 2020 class.

Here is another recruiting ranking list updated today:

https://asgrbasketball.com/notre-da...ght-top-350-recruiting-2019-class-rankings-3/

3 Big 12 teams in the top 20 in this ranking. Baylor ranked 12, West Va - 17, OU - 19

Uconn not in top 10?

They didn't include Chloe.

Today they only have one commit. There are still 4 top 10 or so players yet to commit and they have a very good shot at a couple.

Amihere seems to be the only international player any of the public recruiting rankings has seen enough to rank.

Gabby is a big time scorer I’ll be interesting to see how her game translates to college, and how tall she is.... her high school number 12 will be available, so I wonder if she will wear 12 or 23, I also wonder what number Liz will pick since 22 is taken... maybe Madi will switch to #24 once EJ graduates. 13 should be available to Bloom if she likes.

We have so little actual reporting on OU women's hoops recruiting. It makes me wonder if a surprise signee is possible tomorrow??

Emrie Ellis, a 6-2 sophomore post at Vanoss High School in Pontotoc County committed to Mike Neighbors and Arkansas this weekend. She visited Fayetteville for the Alabama football game las month. Anyone know if Coale was recruiting her?

She's too short to add anything to what we already have - or have coming.

Don't know if OU was recruiting her. I had not heard of her until now. I knew Vanoss had a good group of sophomores, but didn't know any were D1 quality.

Actually it looks like Sherri is going after a few 6’2 Forward/Cneters in the 2020 class... after Brown leaves the big 12 really won’t be that big Baylor has mostly 6’3 girls, and k st will have 6’5 Lee, but she hasn’t played in a game yet, maybe red shirting, Texas will have Collier 6’5 who could turn out to be a dominant force, but she probably wants to play out at the high post and Prince at 6’7 but she might not return to the player she was after a injury... the big 12 is sorta headed to a small post league.

I see that Baylor and OU had shown some interest, but had extended no offer. Baylor did ask her to attend the Baylor/UConn game.

I think offering after a Freshman season is too soon. I'm not a coach but who's to say how this girl develops after two more seasons? Only time will tell!

It appears to me that it may be a catch 22. Yes it might be too early to project how a player will perform at the D-1 level when she is a freshman. But with the way recruiting is going now it might be necessary because everyone is offering early and you will not be capable of getting in on targeted kids if you wait.

Kind of danged if you do and danged if you don't.

I can see your point. I think maybe some offer early and if a prospect doesn't develop any further beyond their freshman year, they possibly step back a bit in their aggressiveness. I saw this myself with my sister's recruitment process throughout high school, for basketball. She ended up going to school for track & field regardless though.

I still hope we zone in on one more LEGIT big girl for 2019 class, we need it!

There appear to have been a fair number of 6-3 and taller transfers. With the team we have and open scholarships we probably should have been more agressive going after them.

To bad we didn't get Amihere. Very impressed with her play in world games.

The list I saw that ranked our incoming class at #19 did not include the lady from Austrailia. Wonder if that would have made a difference. I do expect our ranking to drop if we don't get an impact player later. The UConns, and Notre Dames of the world will not stop bringing in the elite players.

 

[Soonerguy06]

Agreed. South Carolina's class is so impressive for '19!! It seems like all the good big girls in this class are already spoken for so next season will probably be yet another season with the same issue - no quality post players. :-(

Stanford got Haley Jones. I am surprised by how Uconn has not gotten a single one of their top targets this recruiting class. Last years class was a little slim as well.
