Not sure how to interpret this.  Was it just a random tweet or was she on an OV today?

Official Visit (video shows Jules and Holmes with her along with coaches having fun).  Current today or yesterday not sure exactly when or 100% not sure when.  M.B. was this weekend.  Recently, assistant coaches were watching both players play.

Looks to me like she has 5 official visits completed thus far.  3 to go.  My opinion best video is IU Ladies.

4:00pm eastern time is 1:00 pm California time 

Yes, that’s what she says and also on live stream program (sports life talk) and so do others…most talk about the importance of family atmosphere.

To her…Does family mean what she has experienced from IU or another pre college teammate at the same school on west coast that averaged less than 3,000 fans last year or something else??

IU Ladies program have showed her family a great family atmosphere.

sidenote:  per Tennessee blog…recently, it was leaked UCLA but immediately deleted. 
Basketball speaking UCLA is not the best match for her.

welcome to ucla her definition of family atmosphere lol with a lot of drama in me and much recruiting show lol (wants to play in wnba and I get that)…ucla has several bigs and a heavy roster.

Bummer, but faith in Moren to find and build what we need still.

Yes, Holmes last year need another athletic big to go with F.W.  I think IU Ladies get Prince or Blakes (my opinion for another guard)

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Got her on the second time around.  Good pick-up.

Looks like she can be a force, with the proper coaching.

[HoosierHoopster]

Big pickup for Moren and shortly before DeVries got Wilkerson, nice!

This should/could elevate her game into stardom 2025-2026.
