I should of put blue bloods in quotes as I meant top teams in the SEC or ACC and facetiously noted UCONN.-- as, we developed good early relationships with several recruits only to see them go to THAT school that can only win with top recruits. She is good though and we'd be blessed to see her here.
WBB Recruiting
- Thread starter mred
- Start date
Did the Cyclones get any verbal's out of the April recruiting period? Does anyone know if we have any transfers interested in State? In under a month our great 2017 class will be on campus and it should be a good summer to watch.
Burton is a east coast PG that appears to have blown up this summer. Has a lot of east coast offers. Had a lot of low D1 offers, but getting a lot of quality program offers now. Curious to know how staff got onto her.
Yeah, interesting. Agree that it does look like she is an unranked player that was getting only regional attention but that looks have spiked up with at least three P5 offers in one month.
Out of curiosity I looked at DePaul roster. Even though they are Big East, 11 of their 14 players are from Illinois. Only a single player from out east. A little surprising these days especially for a high major.

Might be Big East but not surprising a team from the Chicago area has tons of players from Illinois. Good basketball in Illinois, lots of quality players.
DePaul is downtown Chicago loop campus. Most likely, I bet DePaul has a tough time recruiting anyone who isn't familiar with Chicago, or comfortable in a very urban setting, which probably limits them a lot in recruiting. Also, the South loop although up and coming, still can feel a little "sketchy" at times for Chicagoans, so I imagine anyone not comfortable with the big city would be even more "on edge
Also, for whatever reason, Chicago area wbb is largely overlooked by many schools for whatever reason. Though southern IL seems to get a lot of attention. Rockford, IL area seems to produce a lot of MBB D1 & NBA/D-League talent for whatever reason, and some DI wbb talent.
Caitlin Clark, a 2020 PG from Dowling that the ISU coaches are very much interested in, was named to the U16 National Team. She's one of only three 2020 players named.

There will be plenty of schools competing for her attention.

DePaul's main campus is on the north side of Chicago in an urban professional area, not downtown and definitely not South Loop.
Surprising news during an off time of year. This Utah kid who has been described as "powerful in the paint." How often have you seen that description for a WBB player? http://www.hudl.com/profile/7090301/morgan-kane
Not saying she wouldn't be good or anything but I find some of the Prospects Nation rankings to be "curious" to say the least. They had ESPN 5 star Madison Wise unlisted as a "watch" and Johnson and Scott as Top 100, pretty much the opposite of everyone else's consensus.
Prospects nation is more aware of the Southeast players and those travelling to major national AAU tournaments. I find their evals better than espns
Here's another write-up on her with the All-State team. Just scroll down to her name.

Based upon the in-action picures I've seen of her, she plays a lot with her tongue out.
