WBB Recruiting
- Thread starter mred
- Start date
Really just the word from some parents of her AIA teammates. And when that team plays at the Bring Your Best tourney in Ames in a couple of weeks, I'm sure there will be a crowd.
Just don't think it's guaranteed yet that Clark will leave for one of the elites like ND.
Ryan is #1 recruit out of Kansas. Donarski is ranked #2 in Wisconsin. For highly rated Clark to come aboard, the 2020 class would likely be the best Iowa State has ever had.

Well I think I'll break a record here and reply to my own post. The girl I mentioned from Angelina JC, Natasha Mack has signed with Okie State. She may not pan out, but from what I saw of her I think she should turn out to be rather good. I sure wish ISU would have pursued her, but apparently she was never on the radar screen.
Given Ines is back for this year, and we have Kristen for 2 more years, Kane for 4, and the quality Wake Forest transfer for 3 after this year timing probably wasn't the best and 2 project posts on scholly in Mills and McBride to spare another roster spot.
Don't know where to post this but I'll put it here.
I stumbled into an incidental conversation with a WBB coach from a medium-sized Midwest college. I listened more than talked as she provided some interesting observations. Noting my loyalties to Iowa State she congratulated me on recent recruiting success and said she is not surprised.
She has been in Ames and says the long-term vision, community support, facilities and consistency of results are first rate. In her travels she's seen much of the country, but focuses on the Midwest. Away from high income areas and some college towns, there are a lot of depressed communities she has seen in her recruiting.
Kansas is recovering but has had real problems over the past few years. She specifically noted much of Indiana after a recent trip to Muncie where she says it is especially desperate. Kentucky, away from cities like Lexington and others, and Tennessee, are left wanting.
Kids come to Iowa State and leave impressed to find Ames clean, fairly new and experience a cohesive effort to build and succeed. I guess we should feel lucky.

I have to ask...what does a medium size WBB coach look like? (Just my whacky sense of humor)
Not to get too far in the weeds on this but, I got curious and found a site which offers many interesting graphs.

While we're posting tweets about our 2020 recruits...
According to a poster on the Gonzaga board, Ejim chose Gonzaga.

Figured her brother being so beloved here would be in our favor. Maybe though she wants to make her own path and not follow in her brother's footsteps.
