Revised recruiting ranking

Some interesting trends. I do wonder why Vandy dropped so far. Maryland has landed a bunch of 5 stars. If the recruiting analysis is correct they should be the National Champ for years to come.

I did not realize they labeled 5 stars so far down the list. Even Chelsea is almost high enough to be so labeled. I expect her to be a very important member of our team over the next few years.

Anyone who doubts Nancy will be a dominant force will be surprised as the years unfold.

One surprise is UCONN. Only one 5 star - although I think they could sign another player before it is all over.

I sure hope you're right. I think a lot of her success has to do with Nancy. When we got Courtney, she was dominant right out of the box. She didn't need anything to be great. She was great from the day she arrived. I don't see that in Nancy. Nancy needs to put on a lot of muscle and change her mindset to be a dominate player. Right now she plays soft. We know that she is not known as a scorer. She really doesn't dominate the boards. She does block and alter some shots but if that is her only strength in college, that will not win many ball games. I want to see her grab 10 boards a game and score 15 or more points per game. Get in the paint and dominate! If she can do that, it will definitely win some ball games.
 
You have to question the validity of this bluestar one. They still show Texas A&M as part of the Big-12. :ez-roll: :ez-laugh: :facepalm

Does anyone recall the thinking about a few things?

1. Why was Holmes moved above Cox a while back?

2. Holmes is listed as a Forward, but Cox as a Post. Yet they are basically the same height. Is there some reason for placing them at substantially different projected positions?

3. How high was Chelsea originally ranked? Why was she dropped? Was it simply because she transferred and had to adapt? I predict she will be a very important player for us over the next few years.

1. Some thing Holmes will be the better college player.

2. I don't think we will ever see Cox at center except perhaps on rare occasions.

3. I believe Dungee was at 19 at one time. She is not real quick and she doesn't always play as hard as needed. I believe that is why she was lowered in the ranking.

I certainly agree with your belief in point #2. Cox made it extremely clear she did not want to play center. It is possible that is one factor in her lack of interest late for OU. It appeared we wanted to play Nancy at high post if possible. It seems likely she was afraid that might happen.

It will be interesting to watch how that issue plays out at Baylor. But once you sign, all assurances can be swept under the table.

I don't know that Sherri has ever said Mulkey will be at the high post. In fact, if we had Cox I would hope she would be used like a Candice Parker and keep Mulkey near the basket. Mulkey will be in a much better position to score in the low post. Why take that ability away from her?
