2019 Recruiting - WBB

Wow! Amihere has the attention of big time schools. Wish Texas was in closer proximity to Canada although her list makes it seem as though she is wide open to possibilities.

Time to call on the Canadian UT basketball players to let her know what's up:
Caron-Goudreau twins
Tristan Thompson
Cory Joseph
 
As it appears we are signing a pretty large class of recruits for 2018, I was assuming we'd sign a smaller class for 2019. Coach A definitely makes the rounds when it comes to getting recruits from all over the country and beyond interested in Texas.
 
Yes, I'm so glad Aston believes in going national (& international). Did I get that right? Akunna Konkwo already has decided on her final 10 as a sophomore? I love that. Believes in taking care of business, I guess. She sounds really impressive and has a great athletic build.
 
I wonder if Texas has offered London Clarkson? Saw earlier in this thread that she had interest and offers from a few schools which included Texas, but no official word of the offers. She received an offer from MSU today, and seems pretty excited.

 
Not her first Div. 1 offer. Looks like Texas has offered.

That's the post I was referring to, but does "offers and interest" mean all those schools offered? Or just showed interest? It's a little confusing. Being that she just received the offer from MSU, it isn't quite clear which of those schools actually OFFERED, or which just showed INTEREST.
 
Anyone know when in-home visits are to begin? For the class of 2018, visits began in the second week of September 2016 and the tweets were non-stop with photos of coaches at the homes of the junior class recruits.
 
I think in-home visits have started with the juniors (or are about to start); that will tell us some of the players we are targeting for 2019. I think it's gonna be a small class based on the large 2018 class we appear to be signing, and the 2020 class seems deeper in-state than the 2019 class (based on the subjective recruiting rankings out there).

Sophomores (5): 6'7 Center, Sedona Prince; 6'5 Forward, Charli Collier; 6'1 SF, Shae Routt; 5'9 W/SG, Audrey Warren; 5'8 SG, Joanne Allen-Taylor

Juniors (3): 6'3 Forward, Rellah Boothe; 5'9 SG, Destiny Littleton, 5'5 PG, Chasity Patterson

Seniors (3): 6'3 Forward, Joyner Homes; 5'11 Wing, Jada Underwood, 5'9 PG Alecia Sutton

I realize several players on our roster can play multiple positions, but it would seem we'd want another Center/Post player. Not sure if that is the position 2019 6'3 Taylor Jones is set to play in college; she has definitely seems to be one of our targets based on visits and camps. But, the 2020 class is also loaded with Centers in-state.

Do we target a 2019 PG like Jaden Owens? Can't say I've read much about Texas' involvement with her. Or, do we target a 2020 PG like Sara Andrews or Cailtin Clark (Iowa)?
 
I know we already have a verbal commitment from 2020 guard Deja Kelly; but, it won't surprise me if we get more verbal commitments from other 2020 recruits before we get any from the 2019 class. The numbers seem to indicate a small 2020 class, which may mean our coaches can be very selective and patient based on their targets.
 
In regards to PG Jaden Owens of Plano West, haven't really read much about her recruitment since she decommitted from SMU. I don't believe she attended our summer camp even though so many of her Cy-Fair club teammates did.

But, she seems to have been the primary PG this summer for Cy-Fair Shock, so she must have lots of familiarity feeding the ball to Charli Collier and Sedona Prince, not to mention Audrey Warren, Christyn Williams, and Deja Kelly:

I may have missed a recent report but I believe we are still in Brunelle's top 11.

I think you're right. The schools listed in the article are just the next to get visits. She visited UT last fall so it will be crucial to get her back on campus, at least for one of her officials.
 
thanks, Luther, I was just about to post the same info. In fact, that whole episode might factor into her decision to continue to consider Texas.
 
Very anxious to see who we are targeting for the 2019 class. Once our 2018 class is finalized and signs their LOIs on November 8 or so, perhaps our needs will become clearer.
 
We should have 3 to 5 ships available for 2019. That depends if we take any more this year. Christyn and possibly Queen are possibilities.

Of course, if we do take one or two more, that means one or two players are moving on.

For now, I have the following players having expressed interest in Texas although that is a list that changes constantly and I am not sure if I have caught all changes.

Samantha Brunelle, 6-2 F
Kennedy Brown, 6-5 P
Taylor Jones, 6-3 P
London Clarkson, 6-1 PF
Haley Jones, 6-1 W
Laeticia Amihere, 6-3 F
Akunna Konkwo, 6-3 C

You’re probably safe adding PG Jaden Owens to that list.
