***WBB: 2026 Recruiting Thread***

Damn I guess we shouldn't discuss players unless we are going to be sunshine and rainbows about it. Did you even look at her stats or read Florida's bio on her?
I did look at Gift Ezekiel's Gator stats. That's why I mentioned she's probably somewhere between Alisa & Lilly. It looks like Ezekiel has only been in US one year, so my guess SEC basketball was a big adjustment. So year 2 improvement is likely.

No, posts don't have to be all sunshine & rainbows. But you're not Stephan A. Smith and posts need to be hot-takes to get a reaction. There is something called the middle ground. Or even no comment.
 
With Audi, Addy, and Jada gone we should have cash to get some really good players. My guess is we will have to over pay with our roster turnover and Bill’s potential retirement.
 
Someone in another thread alluded to a bigger name than de Vries but I think of the list we currently have of potentials here, she’s #1

6’2 guard (same size as Addy and Alissa Williams) Averaged 3 rebounds a game, shot 25% from 3. Not impressive defensive numbers. 3.3 turnovers a game. Looks like decent abilities to get to the rim.

Going to be a sophomore, guessing this is a piece to establish a roster beyond 2026-27.

She looks skilled in her Video highlights. Has some potential as a sophomore.
