1. WBB schedule to come out
2. a top level recruit to say she's chosen Baylor
3. Sic'em 365 to start giving us some WBB tidbits- interviews, practice reports, pics, possible interest from recruits…. Know it is football and staff has other responsibilities, but thirsty here and still getting MBB. Anything welcomed, please…?!
4. first Tip-off Club luncheon to hear news and see my fellow WBB table mates
5. being inside the month countdown to season and anticipating being inside the Foster again.


What are you ready to see?

Usually comes out in August. Late this year. Not sure why. Interested to see how things shake out.

Why are we thinking a player who is not in the 2025 Hoopgurlz latest Top 100 players is a great recruit? She was not recruited by South Carolina, Texas, UConn, UCLA, USC, LSU, Ohio State, Notre Dame or Stanford. Are they poor judges of top talent?

Jocelyn is a late riser, considered by some to be #2 player in Georgia and top 5 by Prospect Nation. She is ranked #29 by 247 but not ranked by other services. Most offers came after this summer season. Although she doesn't have top offers as you point out, she really wasn't known until this year and those teams have had their targeted recruits for years. She has 3 good SEC offers and FSU and ASU among others. She is 6'1 and can play 1-3. She's probably staying back East but she would be a good pickup.

I also don't think our coaches are poor evaluators. Think they are good. We have offered a number of the top 2025 but even more 2026 and 2027. After the mess we were left in, it has taken a lot of time to repair damage on the HS circuit. Recruits seem to be waiting to see us win at a high level before coming aboard. We also don't have unlimited NIL like some programs seem to although I have been told we can be competirive for a player we want. We will take the best players we can get and just keep building. We are getting some high level looks. No reason to complain until you see who we actually get.
Let's cheer for a really good season and if we make E8 or better, I would be surprised if we didn't get a lot more top 25 player looks.

Outside of the 2 Big 10 teams (ha)...schedule seems soft ? All players should get lots of playing time before conference games.

It's very difficult to "CLOSE THE DEAL" if you can't get in the door !!

Agree with Cheetah, we need to get the best players we can get (for now), until we can get to Elite status again. Even though Faison is unranked in Espn Top 100, she may be under the radar that no one is paying attention to. We are getting some top talent in the door, but we are not closing them. We just need 1 or 2 Top 40 recruit right now. It's going to take time to get to Elite status.
If we can get to Sweet 16/Elite 8 Tourney every year the next couple years, top recruits will start considering us a top school. Now than TX and OK are gone, we have very good chance of winning the Big 12 every year and an automatic Tourney bid every year like we used to. That should get top recruits attention. One step at a time, one year at a time, we'll get there.

Exactly, and I believe Oregon will be better this season due to their 6 transfers. It is not mentioning that they missed a starter as a transfer after first 2 minutes of the season. The question is how much better.

UnLV was 30-3 last year but did lose their leading scorer at post and 4 other players who were in top in PpG. Literally Kiara Jackson is the only double digit scorer coming back. Everyone else who returns is 6.4 PPG or less. UnLV does have a transfer from eastern conference eastern conference Washington in Aaliyah Alexander who averages 14.5 PPG, 4.7 rebounds per game, 1.9 fouls per game, .9 steals per game, and 2.1 turnovers per game who shoots 37.4 percent on 3s and 76.6 percent on free throws.
