Random IUWBB Recruiting

[TTT]

2024 and 2025….Looking for the much needed return of Parrish and Moore McNeil.

[TTT]

IU Ladies put effort in the following girls to add to 2024 class Avery Hollew, Zania Nguyen Socka, and Mikayla Blakes.  And all would have competed for playing time and starting five.  This is one reason IU Ladies have not been able to expand some elite depth.  Need transfer portal help for 2024-2025.  It seems a little harder than it should be. R. W. were at Blakes, and Socka summer camps/games.  Not sure how much on Howell though IU Ladies were in her top 5.  Then, there is Prince to Nebraska…got caught up in silly statement as underclassman.

Today is truly a red letter day for IUWBB.  Raoul has finally put up an Indiana page and there are additional '25 names listed as having IU offers.  And the same for '26 offers.

I would also be surprised if Currie-Jelks doesn't get a medical RS, assuming she doesn't play the rest of the way... or have they already announced she won't? Can't remember. 

She should be a RS SO next season with 3 years left.

I don't recall seeing anything about a possible medical RS.  Makes all the sense in the world unless she's already let the staff know she's going to portal again.

She gotta sit out a year, then.

2027 Alaina Diamond 6’2” PF Loogootee HS visited with IU Ladies basketball (3 years away).

Navaeh Caffey….IU Ladies just got commitment from excellent quickness and athleticism…defensive and can get to the rim…can shoot 3 pointer and mid range plus fts….should end up being a very good/excellent team player.  Bunch of upside.

Raoul -

This weekend, April 19-21, is an evaluation period on the D-I WBB recruiting calendar. Will coaches be on the road recruiting high school prospects or stay on campus hosting transfer portal targets?

Big fan. Watched my HS beat them in the final 4. 

She can play, though. She was in shambles after the game, I respected it. It meant something to her.

Try to overlook the fact that the story refers to CTM as "Tori" Moren.  By my count 4 attendees from the '25 class have IU offers:  Bourrage, Francis, Hays & McGaughy.

That is number's 4, 23, unranked, and 17 in ESPNW's 2025 recruiting rankings. Makalusky and Caffey who are already committed are 56 and 59 respectively.
