Random IUWBB Recruiting

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Results to be determined, but Thompson is a real hustler for IU recruiting.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Statistics (limited as they are) for IU offers playing on the 3SSB circuit.  For the early rounds, 3SSB provided detailed box score info thus the ability to provide shooting percentages.  After that, the data provided is what you see.  Although there were a total of 12 games possible, there's no way to determine if each young lady played in all 12.  Harpring's stats are limited because she's a part of our USA U19 FIBA team.

The reported staff visit to Toronto was possibly for Maayan Gorin who announced in August she would attend Crestwood Prep in Toronto.  I found this description of Crestwood:  Crestwood Preparatory College, a powerhouse in high school women’s basketball. Known for its elite player development, luxurious environment, and unmatched track record of sending athletes to the WNBA and top NCAA Division I (Power 4) programs.

If Dawn Staley, Geno Aruriemma, Kim Mulky, are USA coaches….are they able to recruit and bring 2 or 3 of those players to their respective teams?  

Disappointment with A. Bjorn as one example.  And Zania Socka-N. was already on IU Ladies team.

And the really not new Iowa coach recruiting keeps rolling as they are effectively in competition with several top elite recruits.
