As far as I have been able to tell, Baylor and Duke are the only official visits Bella took. She canceled the remainder of her visits. I am hopeful!

Not sure about Kamora.. I know we have been recruiting her for a long time, but who knows. Would really love to get both of these ladies!!!!

I was not sold on garcia. Im okay with that lost. I think Minus might go to Tennessee. Im hoping we can get Flemming, Byles, Hodge, and Pruitt. 2 out of the 4 would make me happy.

We could end up with none of these recruits which will be extremely sad….. I think Bella and Hodges are our best shots. Would be very happy with those 2. We should throw all the money we can at Bella….

I agree. Hodge announces at 530. Hopefully it is in our favor. We really need to Bella.

Never be shocked when NCSU lands a player in the 40-60 ranking range.

Wes Moore has stated on multiple occasions that his team building philosophy is to go all in on players ranked 40-60 at the earliest stage while other teams focus on 1-30 ranked players and then fall back to the 40-60 range. The players remember who prioritized them. He then tries to add one top transfer annually.

That philosophy has clearly worked to keep NCSU in the Top 15 range consistently.
They might not win a NC but they will stay very solid.
And his life is likely far easier.

Scared about that one……. Hard to compete against Duke….. They have a lot of NIL and stellar academics…. We will see what happens. It seems that Nicki has done everything possible to get Bella. Not sure how much NIL she was able to scrape together…… Unfortunately with 95% of recruits, it seems to come down to the money……

It may be our conference.....and we can't do anything about that. Just doesn't have the sizzle in the eyes of top recruits? The portal may always be our best shot.

WE HAVEEEE TO UP THE NIL. Look at how we are able to make the connection with these players to even make their top 3 lists. The Money would seal the deal in my opinion. The longer we wait to put our money into this program the further we will get pushed back.

Some of it could be conference. Also I think money is a huge factor. It comes down to money with 95% of the recruits. I think in Hodges case, Missouri who is rebuilding offered her more than Baylor. I just don't think Nicki would pay huge NIL for # 79 recruit. Missouri needs players so I can see them paying more than we would be willing to offer.

Yessss!!! If Baylor wants competitive Wbb team, we HAVE to increase NIL. Nicki can form relationships with top players and get official visits and often times multiple visits, but in the end we can't pay what Big 10 and SEC teams pay…,,,,, Unfortunately, money talks…..

I agree! Some time is NIL, and sometimes its just players wanting to play in the best conferences that will give them exposure. The BIG 12 has become more of a player transfer destination conference .

My only hope for Bella is that she sees that everyone else chose not to go to BU and now she knows she will have playing time. I can only hope....

Yes hopefully she will see that and also see the benefit of playing close to home where her family and friends can come to her games. She will not get that going to Duke on the East Coast.

I think you are on to something here. That may be why Nikki said she won't settle. If she can't get the recruits she wants she will rely more on the portal. The portal has been fairly good to us so far and I think we have to continue to focus on player development as we have done with Kyla Abraham. That said it would be so nice to get 1-2 highly rated freshmen.

i also have been seeing people saying that coach nicki might be a sort of the Dallas Wings coaching search. So this could be a factor too.

I doubt.. are recuriting out of high school has been well since her first year. If Marcayla didnt commit in the 9th grade, we would have had 0 freshman this year.

Well we don't technically lose a lot of guards next year just Jana definitely. Remember we did get Talia Scott and Yuting Deng could have played a factor for playing time for the recruits at guard. It's not including Marcayla Johnson, Ella Brow, and Ines Goryanova. This is if you count Buggs and Bella as forwards and not guards. Sometimes NIL can be a difference as well.

Another thought as well. The 5 for 5 lawsuit going on would really impact the team next year because then Buggs, Bella, and KJ could technically back come back if they want to for their 5th year. I know KJ did say in a podcast if that 5 for 5 rule happens she would be interested to play at Baylor the following year.
