Don't know if it's related but Texas just got a commit from Prospects Nation's top rated recruit in the nation, Charli Collier.

Of course it is, but why would ANYONE want to go to DelaNOWHERE?

One thing that I neglected to mention Monday is that O'Regan has filled his 2017/18 #JMU signing class, barring something insane.

It should consist of Millbrook PG Maddie Green, Canadian wing Eleanore Marciszewski and St. John's (DC) guard Jaylin Carodine.

That sounds NICE!

Nice. That's nice. Now he can focus on coaching up the women currently on the team. Looking forward to taking back the championship this year!

Eleanore Marciszewski
As far as I can tell, this is from Canada's women's basketball site, Crown, which has her at #2 for the 2018 class.

Nothing on Maddie Green that I could find

Younger sister of former Nuggets and Virginia Tech player Erick Green and former Delaware guard Courtni Green.

Maddie seems to be flying a bit under the radar. She's 2 port athlete in HS though, apparently, softball also.

They are all signed! That Jaylin Carodine has a take-no-prisoners look about her. She reminds me a little bit of Semeka Randall (UT) which could make her really fun to watch.

If you have familiarity with Virginia, Maryland and D.C. players this could be a good gauge. http://www.nextsportsphenom.com/2018-Rankings

I can only see that she's ranked #6. Have to have a password to get in and I don't need to be on one more site. However, that's good company. I didn't see her on any national sites though, but that's ok.

No worries this isn't that type of site if you're not a college coach you won't see much more anyway.

Talk about bringing in championship pedigree. This year's #JMU women's basketball recruits won a DC city title, VA state title and a Canadian national title.

I met Jaylin and her mother at the CAA tournament in Philadelphia. She seems like a very nice young lady who will fit in just fine with our team. She also appears to be in GREAT shape so hopefully she brings some power to the group.

Good on Coach O! I understand he earned his pedigree as a recruiter.

Fingers crossed he can find more success vs. the Elons & Drexels of the CAA next season. I stumped hard for him to take over for KB, but the results have been a bit underwhelming when it comes to what matters: winning the CAA tourney & the autobid that goes with it.

I'm onboard to continue support, but we need to keep recruiting "above our level" & we've got to find a way to be stronger in the 4th quarter.

All 5 starters return + transfer Benitez + 3 prized recruits...Coach O has the talent to be very good in his 3rd campaign as HC.

Really looking forward to seeing what Jackie Benitez can provide. To me she just looks like a player.

Hope the knee injury (or whatever it is) is healing OK. Also that Debra Ferguson can see the court also.

Go Dukes!!

Kenny Brooks’ first couple years weren’t stellar...Sean has won 20+ games in two seasons, but we’ve become a little spoiled in that top 25 rankings and NCAA appearances were the norm. As this sophomore class grows and Sean brings in better players and learns how to coach, we will be back at the top.

If/when Benitez can get fully healthy, she will help the team a lot. I like that we have 5 starters returning, IF they improve. I think it may be a big if, as many don't, or quit or get injured etc.

I can think of a couple of returnees that need to go to "shooting" camp ASAP!
