RE: [split] Women's Basketball Recruiting Thread 2021
A few insignificant updates
> I guess back in October we made the top 16 for 2022 guard T'yana Todd, along with the likes of UConn, Louisville, South Carolina, and Texas. Unsurprisingly in February she cut her list to 10 and Rice didn't make it. Dayton is the only non-power conference school that did, so we'll root for them to beat out the big dogs. Nice to be in UConn's company, but still don't seem to have the sway on the recruiting trail necessary to beat out the blue bloods
> Rice has supposedly reported interest in 2022 C Christeen Iwuala. From Texas, but already with offers from Louisville, Texas, Northwestern, UCLA, and Mississippi State (Baylor and Stanford are also on the reported interest list). Again, love the effort. Tough to see how we win this one either
> Looking at the 2021 ESPN rankings, it just seems like very few ranked recruits are choosing to play at mid-majors (not exactly surprising or dissimilar from the men's side). The list of schools with at least one recruit: Temple (#65), Jackson State (#70), Green Bay (#73), BYU (#74), UCF (#84), Middle Tennessee (#89), Duquesne (#90), Davidson (#96), UMass (#97). For 2022, most recruits are still unsigned and the only mid-major with a commitment is Princeton (#46). No real point to any of this, just food for thought.
> Rice has two open scholarships (I think) for next year (assuming Wiggins is back). A quick list of transfers that Rice might/could/should target (this is obviously not exhaustive and excluding transfers who on paper we don't have a realistic shot at):
