2019 Recruiting - WBB

Ellis21d said:
The only in-state 2019 people of interest are:
Liz Scott - Klein Oak - I haven't heard any buzz from Texas about her.
Taylor Jones - Dallas Christian - Texas has a big interest in her but I don't think the feeling is mutual. She was in attendance at the UConn game with her parents.
Jaden Owens - Plano West - A point guard that has been talked about a lot on this board but not sure if she has an offer.
London Clarkson - Pflugerville - She was in attendance at the UConn game and she was decked out in Texas gear. I don't believe she has a firm offer? They may be watching her this summer before they make a final decision??

In my opinion there are a lot more in-state 2020 girls Texas has an interest in. They clearly are pursuing several out of state players for the 2019 ships available.
The recruiting landscape and opportunities have improved dramatically since Karen took the job 5 years ago! And it's only getting better!

Considering the talent available I would not be surprised if Texas does not sign a single in state player in the 2019 recruiting cycle! The state is really loaded with top talent in the 2020 class. Coach Aston and her staff have reached that level of national recruiting prowess!!
 
we should have up to five spots open for 2019. We have one verbal, Celeste, 5-11 G. That I am aware of, we have out offers to three players: Haley Jones, 6-1 W; Angle Jackson, 6-3 P and Shemera Williams, 5-9 PG. In addition to those targeted, we will need at least one more P or PF. Taylor Jones would fit perfectly as she can, I think, play either spot. Of course, we probably will end up with different players, but at least we can look at the possible positions the staff is looking at with the offers.

Right now, players I have down as at least expressing interest in Texas is slanted slightly in favor of out of staters. As Ellis stated, this could easily be a year where all the signees are from out of state just as 2018 was all Texans.

Shemera is definitely on Texas’s radar.

Was there something in that video about Texas (which I may have missed)? Or, are you just stating that she is on Texas' radar based on the other tweet about her having been offered recently?

Raoul is pretty reliable, especially when it comes to recruits in B1G territory. But, didn't see the offer confirmed or re-tweeted by anyone else. But, her tweeting with Charli is good enough for me!
 
Jordan Horston also holds an offer according to twitter.

I would assume Rickea Jackson also holds an offer.

And, I don't think Ashten Prechtel paid her own way from Colorado for an unofficial visit if she didn't have an offer; could be wrong.

No Moo nothing in the video about Texas or have no idea if she has an offer but I saw the communication with Charlie like maybe they know each other and Coach Aston follows her on twitter. The video highlighted her accomplishments which were pretty amazing in themselves. I think those points alone would put her on our watch list for 2019.
 
Haley Jones with a double double as Archbishop advances. Jones has a well rounded game and is an excellent defender. One common denominator between Taylor, Jones and Horston is that all three love playing defense.

 
Shemera Williams apparently received an offer from Georgia today, and this tweet includes her list of offers. Texas isn't on the list. I wonder if Texas has offered her, and where Rauol gets his information.

 


It's odd. Shemera sent this Tweet after receiving her Georgia offer. I would think that if Texas had offered she would have tweeted something similar. Looking back at the Rauol Tweet, Shamira did not "like" the Tweet. On the plus side, Shemera and Charli C have traded Tweets. Time will tell....
 
Although it's only lasts 12 seconds, this video shows how Jordan Horston can block a shot and turn it into 2pts on the other end. It's worth noting how close she is to dunking the ball on her layup. It all looks effortless to her.

 
FYI...Jaden Owens had an in-home with Mulkey tonight. There's a photo of them on Twitter but I didn't post it because I don't want KM's face on our message board (childish but true).

Read where the entire Baylor staff was out in Washington on Thursday night watching PG Hailey Van Lith; she's 2020 just like Sarah Andrews. With Mulkey visiting 2019 PG, Jaden Owens, wonder how much they are prioritizing Sara Andrews.

I have no problem whatsoever if they have decided to leave Sara Andrews on the vine. Would leave to see her in burnt orange.
 
PG recruiting will be very interesting for both Texas and Baylor over the next two recruiting classes. Both took at PG in 2017; not sure if Honesty Scott-Grayson will play PG for Baylor or another position.

Come 2019, we have Sutton as a senior, and Patterson as a junior. Still don't know if we are targeting a PG for the 2019 class, but it doesn't seem like it, unless Shemera from Wisconsin is the target.

Stanford visits Haley Jones. Gosh, can only hope our coaches are waiting for the very last visit with Haley. Surely they are going to visit her since she came to Texas for an unofficial visit!

I've been wondering the same thing myself. Aston & Co. have been very quiet in the Twitterverse.
