She is from SC right? Boy, it is going to be hard to beat Dawn and company for her. Dawn S. has SC on lock down. Every time we go head to head with her for a player coming out of SC we lose every time; however, I do believe in percentages. There will come a time were CB and staff may get lucky and get one away from Dawn. I would not stop trying though. I love the way CB and Staff are trying to get players from that State. SH had a good track record getting players from SC until Dawn arrived. Go Heels!

Thanks for sharing. I just hope we can land 2 more from the 2026 class.

I would hope so too, but it would be an absolute shocker. The crystal balls are just not in our favor.

Does look like it now. They are slowly falling off the board. Maybe the portal.

We have 14 players on scholarship for next season as of now.
I think we can have 15.
That leaves one open spot that we most likely will use for a portal player if CB finds a good one.
Currently I think we have a well stocked roster.

I still do not understand why a lot of the players have Duke on their list and not UNC. This is very puzzling to me.

It’s the allure of the brand. Coach K spent decades building Duke into a national powerhouse, not just through winning, but through elite marketing and image-making. Then Gail Goestenkors showed just how high the ceiling could be on the women’s side as well.

The real beneficiaries of that branding are people like Eve’s parents. They bought into the culture early — the constant games on TV, the prestige, the sense of being part of something bigger. Duke became a lifestyle, not just a school.

Now add USA Basketball ties into the mix, and the pitch becomes even stronger. Winning isn’t even the deciding factor anymore because kids think they can come in and make change. Puke is a top-tier private institution with a respected education and a nationally recognized basketball brand. For a lot of kids, that combination is irresistible.

I hope Toomey and her mother can convince her to come to the Heel since they are from PA. You cannot teach height. Go Heels!

She looks good in that Carolina blue. Recently, luck has not been on our side when we try to recruit women's players from the DC area. I hope NB can help us out on her. It appears that Kara L and Duke have been recruiting this area for some time now and they are able to get them to come and play at Duke. I hope we can alter this trend with her. Go Heels!

This is a player which CB and the staff needs to recruit hard, since RK will be departing after next season. You are correct in your assessment of Duke recruiting in the DC area, but it appears that Duke will not be in the market for a PG next year. Since Skinner redshirted this year, could be wrong.

I hope GG is a great dribbler because on this roster this season we need another one.

You can never have enough players that can control the basketball while being pressured.
Its one thing to be a really good dribbler driving it to the basket like EA but to set up the offense
from up top against a real good trapping/pressing defense is hard to find.

Wonder if GG is related to Gene Banks former dookie AA.

I love the In Pursuit videos. They are very informative and authentic. I would use these to show the athletes that we are recruiting. I learned more about CB, LG, NH, RK, NB, TQ, and TH from watching these videos. I love this idea. Go Heels!
