I noticed that one of the people who "liked" this tweet was 2020 Offensive Guard, Justin Rogers of Oak Park, MI. He is regarded as the best OG in the country by some recruiting services. He visited Texas unofficially this weekend for the USC game.

Wonder if he is an acquaintance/friend of Rickea's (who is from Detroit). Apparently, Justin flew to Austin by himself (no parents/guardians), ubered himself to/from airport, campus, hotel, etc.



 
Zia Cooke and Rickea Jackson have taken three of their five OVs. Cooke and Jackson have visited Tenn, S. Carolina and Texas (this past weekend). Jordan Horston joined them for their OVs at Tenn and S. Carolina.
Endyia Rogers has only taken an OV to Ohio State but recently had home visits from Tenn and Texas. We are one of five finalists she lists.
Laeticia Amihere has 14 finalists listed, including Texas but has taken two OVs (Kentucky & Louisville) and another scheduled on 09/28 to Norte Dame. Still has two OV spots open.
I like our chances with Cooke, Jackson and Rogers, although I am not sure if all three would come here. It would be nice to get two of those three to join Celeste.
 
It's been reported that Amihere won't be taking her last 2 official visits; not sure how accurate. Most expecting her to choose Louisville.
 
Glad we're getting an official visit this weekend so as Rutgers doesn't try to become one of her five at the last minute in place of us.
 
yes, very happy to have Rogers come in for an OV! No VB game which I think always is impressive in terms of fan support but there is a soccer game today and some kinda of big FB game on Sat. :smile1:
 
Zia Cooke and Rickea Jackson visiting another school (Louisville) together this weekend. That's the third school they have visited together, along with Jordan Horston the first two times.

Wonder if the duo will make a trip together to one of Jackson's last three finalists: Miss. State, Ohio State or Rutgers?

Fourth school -- Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas and Louisville.

I believe Rickea is scheduled to visit Miss. State next weekend; not sure about Zia.

I responded to Rikea Jackson's post of her pictures from her Louisville visit and shortly after that she like the tweet and her Mom started following me on Twitter. Am I reading too much into this? You never know?
 
Saw this posted on the UConn board:

Jazmin Shelley (5’9” - 2019 Aus.) is on her Official Visit to Oregon State. Reported Oregon, Texas, South Carolina, and Nebraska are a possibility of other finalists.

Not much info on her online. But she sounds like a PG, maybe a combo guard. Seen two heights listed for her: 5-9 and 5-10. She is one of Australia's up and coming young players. Have we ever had an Australian on the team before?

Your question piqued my curiosity so I looked at every roster in the history of the program - no Aussies listed. Players from Poland, Italy, Lithuania, Canada, Nigeria and a backwater that caused a gag reflex - Oklahoma.

Hey, Kala Bowers is one my favorite players and she was a key part of that 2003 final four team.

I knew who you were talking about being the UT player from Oklahoma. :smile1:

Another from Oklahoma, I believe, was Earnesia Williams.

I remember the best quote from her was when she was asked if it was awkward playing for Texas after growing up in OK, she said, "Nope, I got the hell out of there as fast as I could" (might be slightly paraphrased)
