Before this year, USC last made the Sweet Sixteen in 1994. They've only landed big recruits in the past couple years.
Absolutely. That's the goal. Very tough to achieve it, but adding Skinner, Spieser, etc. would go a long way. So would getting a couple more players drafted in the next couple years. I think Stuelke is probably a lock. Olsen and/or Affolter have potential.
If based on previous info, obviously K State would still be in the drivers seat. They have made up some ground. I still think Iowa likely offers her a better opportunity, but K State is becoming a solid program. If by chance you can sway her to come, I think it gives Jan a lot of momentum for the 2026 draft class, especially if the team does respectably well.
All she has to do is look at the two coaches and their courtside demeaner. Ones an asshole and one's going to be a good coach.
Cut it out BR5. I have felt Skinner might be our best shot but now we make Speiser's final two. Hoping for at least one, two would be awesome. Add them to Deal and Houston, fingers crossed.
I have to believe that NIL is an important consideration for a highly recruited athlete in all major sports, men and women. It may not be the top consideration - it depends on the person - but it’s part of the package now.
In the "lesser" sports, this may be the best/only opportunity for incredibly skilled, but not Olympic-medal caliber, athletes to cash in. They still have to find a school with fans willing to finance them.
Anyone that posts disdain about a program that is not germane to them, deserves ridicule of the highest obtuse extent. Getting back to my rambling about Betts and our "recruiting" her. I've followed her decent into hell and she's a self absorbed narcissist that needed the lights of LA to push her visibility. That is diametrically opposed to what the Hawks are trying to push.
Just to clarify, Sienna is a class of 2025 high school senior....Lauren has been at UCLA (Sienna is a commit).
That's true and thanks for the input. I was actually referencing the "recruiting" when Lauren was transferring. After witnessing that, I realized we had no chance with her sister. But this seems to be case with a lot of individuals that have a certain mindset, It actually breeds the us against them mentality. And more specifically the UConn mindset, which I despise, and not the South Carolina, which I respect.
Was the Betts transfer recruiting real or was it just wishful thinking on our part? Did we get a visit?
Just like most everything when you have a top team, the kindling was burning and overtures are made, though that was quickly squashed when you realize an individual have their mind set on a specific program and destination.
I recall reading NIL came into play also. Sounds like little sis is getting a nice package also.
Guyton is also Brazilian. I wonder if there's a connection.
