Nice article on her verbal:

Added Mendelson. She's an elite post, but as is often the problem with post recruits, she's also an elite VB player. That means you're recruiting against opposing teams in two different sports.
Here are some more Arianna Jackson highlights from AAU this summer:
Cyclone central Iowa peeps will have fun catching her HS games over the next few years. I think this might end up being a bit of an in-state recruiting coup (even though a legacy) with Iowa being such a tough competitor for the best Iowa gals.
Committing this early she might not end up with as a lofty rating from ESPN and Prospects Nation as later commits. I do believe early commits to the non-super elite schools seem to fall off the rating radar. Those schools fight it out for the junior/senior 5 stars and that's where a lot of the rankings seem (IMHO) to focus on.
We just need Ashley to take an extra covid year plus a redshirt year, and get Kelsey Joens and Ava to come to ISU. Then we could confusingly have:She needs to put the "e" before the "n" in her name to play here.

Aubrey Joens
Kelsey Joens
Ava Jones
all on the same team.
An update on Kelsey Joens.

They are loaded in the Junior and Sophmore class for girls. I would bet they win state next year. Basically all of them started at Kingdom hoops, then went to Attack and one transferred from Lincoln to play at Roosevelt. So it's basically a really good AAU team playing at a high school. Basically they went Dowling.
