Fantastic last name. Fantastic.

That sounds like an outstanding recruit! Hope she likes Ames and what we have to offer. It's quiet this week with no classes in session between semesters, so it will be hard to get a good feel for what student life is like without the students. When reading the article posted by mred, I imagined her playing an Aus-like game, which would be great. We need more tall guards who can shoot over people and defend taller players.

The fact we are in the running with 6 eastern teams seems to suggest there is some real interest. Just hope she doesn't decide she wants to lay close to home.

Durr expressed interest in good old Iowa State a while back and Bill was super surprised! As are we all happily.

When I first read about Durr she was listed at 5'9 now she is called 6 foot over the year.

She says she wants to have made up her mind before next season, which is too bad in a way because if she visited during the season, she could see what our fan base is like, and that would have been a big plus.

If it was Bill and not Billy it could have only meant the Cardinals won!

That's true for Billy as well.

He didn't say the day ended with exciting news. He said the visit did. That could imply a verbal. If so, we'll find out soon enough.

I am elated! Sounds like a super talent and hard to believe she committed so quickly with so many to choose from.
