All-Metro co-captains Beal, Houston lead teams to unforgettable seasons
The Rocks' Brea Beal and the Wildcats' Jinaya Houston are the co-captains of this year's Quad-City Times All-Metro girls basketball team.
Beal, a first team all-stater by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association, averaged 16.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.3 steals for the Rocks while shooting better than 43 percent from the 3-point line. [She is already] sought after by some of the top Division I programs in the country...
Houston, a junior who chose the Hawkeyes over several other D-I offers before the season started, recorded 19.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and shot 54 percent from the field. The MAC player of the year and two-time all-stater buoyed the Wildcats to a 21-4 mark.

Meet the metro co-captain: North's Jinaya Houston
Jinaya Houston’s junior basketball season was quite a ride. She committed to the University of Iowa in November, tallied her 1,000th career point in January, powered Davenport North to its first conference title in February and had the Wildcats in the state tournament in March.
Her signature performance came at home in late January against Pleasant Valley. Houston had 30 points and eight rebounds as the Wildcats prevailed 59-58.
Houston plans to play with the All-Iowa Attack again this spring and summer. In the past, she’s played with Linn-Mar’s Amanda Ollinger and Mason City’s Makenzie Meyer.
A little more than four months after her verbal commitment, Houston said she’s still firm in her decision. She’ll be eligible to sign a national letter of intent with Iowa in November.

Breanna Beal continues success at Rock Island
ROCK ISLAND, Illnois (KWQC)
Rock Island native Breanna Beal has been receiving letters from colleges all across the country for almost three years. The fifteen year old is one of the top basketball recruits in the nation and, as a freshman at Rocky, is helping to build a tradition of success on the court.

So Davenport West is losing both Mariah Mayfield and Chrislyn Carr, probably (I'm guessing) their two best players. Mariah will join Jinaya at North and Chrislyn will join Breanna B at Rock Island. That should be quite a battle next year between the 'Rocks' and the 'Wildcats'.

Do you know if Iowa is recruiting her? Or will she follow her sister to Illinois?
I know Iowa us aware of Ashley joens, and they have seen her. Where she ranks on their list, I don't know. I like her game.
Upcoming in WBB recruiting— Thursday: 2017 prospects can begin taking official visits. April 13–May 18: Signing period for 2016s (D1).
Tyasha should be announcing soon.

Dang, I keep hitting this thread hoping to see a commitment from Tyasha. It would be absolutely huge if Bluder can snag her, maybe the biggest since Sam
Looks like MSU is making a strong push, when she announced her final 5 they weren't on the list. With Tyasha concerned about players transferring makes me wonder if it hurts Iowa's chances with Whit & Tagyn leaving.
She and Whit are friends too, which can't help. It doesn't sound like Whit has anything bad to say about Iowa. But who knows how much Whit just being on the team played into Iowa making the final cut?
I see that their WI college player of year nominees have Kaminsky, Dekker, etc. I guess their definition of "year" is the calendar year. On the other hand, this means Bre Cera was nominated over Gustafson.
Alexis Sevillian has been named Flint Journal's Dream Team player of the year.

Will be interesting... Iowa will offer the most playing time & biggest role most likely. The MSU current roster (minus Powers) is loaded with good quality players at the 1-3 spots with a 5* wing, 4* pg, & a 4* g/f arriving for the fall semester. Then South Carolina is one of the top programs in the nation,
Michigan St. just got a big (literally big - 6'4") transfer from Notre Dame today in Taya Reimer, a grad transfer with two years left. She was part of the ND team that played in the '14-'15 Nat'l Championship game, and she's from Fishers, IN.
Anyone know how many scholarships MSU has available? I wonder if this transfer has any impact on Tyasha's new interest in MSU, especially considering she's from Indiana, and played for a very successful team that has been to a NC game?

They have 11 returning scholarship players according to their website, 3 incoming FR recruits, then Reimer as the transfer. That puts them at the max of 15. None of the players listed on their roster are walk on players either so someone has to go if Harris picks them, The fact MSU wasn't listed in her final 5 but are now in the final 3 concerns me.
That would include Powers leaving. So, unless they are going to run a player off, with the Reimer transfer they should be out of scholarships.
It is strange that Tyasha would add them at the last minute, after taking her time ans sorting through all the offers. It contradicts her whole process.

You're right they have 9 players coming back & have only signed 3 for this coming season. They have a 5* pg coming in but look to need help in the back court.
Just found this on South Carolina, their roster on the Universities website appears to be correct, with the exception of Jatarie White who announced her plans to transfer. They lost two other guards to transfers recently who have been removed from the website. The article (link) says they now have 5 scholarships available.

I heard from someone that she really wants a UCONN offer but I don't follow closely enough to know if that's possible. This guy (he has a girl in Attack) was absolutely raving about her game though.
