2025 Recruiting - WBB

Texas does not make the Top 4 for Nyla Brooks. We didn't offer her until like April when she decommitted from Tennessee.

Thanks for sharing! Not a surprise with the commitment of A. Crump in addition to the current crop of young perimeter players.
 
I watched the UA Next Elite 24 game over the weekend. It’s hard to get a real read on the players in all-star games because there tends to be a lot of one-on-one offensive play.

There were many very good PGs on the court. UConn is getting a good one in Kelis Fisher (#25 in HoopGurlz 2025 class). Kaleena Smith (#1 in HoopGurlz 2027 class) put on a show. She played with such maturity for her age. I know she ended up with at least 20 points in the game, and had some dazzling assists. LA Sneed (#26 in HoopGurlz 2025 class) from San Antonio played very hard and was impressive. Destiny Jackson (#24 in HoopGurlz 2025 class) had some electrifying moves and assists as well. Kate Harpring (#18 in HoopGurlz 2026 class and daughter of ex-NBA star Matt Harpring) also played a lot of minutes at PG.

The guards that stood out for me were Deniya Prawl (#15 in HoopGurlz 2025 class), Saniyah Hall (#4 in HoopGurlz 2026 class), and Bella Flemings (#11 in HoopGurlz 2026 class and from San Antonio). All three of these ladies had great shooting range. Natalie Kussow (#15 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) impressed me a lot. She played with poise and seemed to have a nose for where the ball was going to be. She loved running the court after a missed shot. Amari Byles from DeSoto (#13 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) hit a couple of shots and played good defense. Jacy Abii from Liberty HS in DeSoto (#3 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) was listed on the roster. I can say that I could never find her on the floor during the game so maybe she didn’t play. Divine Bourrage (#5 in HoopGurlz 2025 class) and Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka (#2 in HoopGurlz 2027 class) had some impressive minutes as well.

Three forwards stood out to me. Oliviyah Edwards (#7 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) was a defensive stopper. Leah Macy (#12 in HoopGurlz 2025 class and Notre Dame commit) was very active around the rim. Kelsi Andrews (#22 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) also was a rebounder.

Olivia Vukosa (#2 in HoopGurlz 2026 class) and Caroline Bradley (#22 in HoopGurlz 2027 class) were two posts that stood out.
 
5 star guard Grace Knox making a visit to Texas!

Thanks for the link. I don't believe Knox is a guard. Perhaps a wing at 6'2; she is a very good rebounder so I thought she was an interior player.

By the Numbers
  • Grace Knox's official visits: LSU (Sep. 7), Texas (Sep. 14), USC (Sep. 21), Tennessee (Oct. 11).

 
Being a witness to Texas very first SEC football game should be a pretty special weekend. A little piece of history especially if you end up being a Texas Longhorn
 
Well….it’s awfully close to September 14. Grace Knox official visit day. I’m doing my part…staying away from her and Austin. You BMDs and/or Insiders need to report back Sunday. But only with good news.
 
Considering Knox just returned home Sunday evening from her weekend official visit to Texas, Mulkey showing her desperation . . .


 
If you can, go to ESPNW and see the just posted article. It’s about the best high school recruits by category. You’ll see Chavez and others you are familiar with. I would copy but I’m headed to granddaughters high school volleyball game. I haven’t even read the article yet.
 

Double Dynasty was in such a zone during the title game that Aaliyah Crump didn’t even play in the fourth quarter. The future Texas Longhorn made a real impact in the first three giving her team timely play after timely play. She’s more than just a shooter though her shot making ability separates her from a lot of her peers.


 
Saw that Grace's high school (coach) Instagram account started following Vic. This has more photos than the twitter post. And, her mother ("proudmom") commented; this past weekend her Mom posted a story with lots of small vid clips of her visit; those stories don't stay up very long.
