Can't stand tcu, but the recruiting success has me very curious. I know the coach is know as a good recruiter, maybe had relationships established with some players from before tcu…no idea. I'm sure NIL is involved but I wouldn't think is the primary driver…again, who knows. Is it tcu is the new shiny program?
We have a successful coach and program with brand new facilities…all should be worth something. Gotta believe CNC (and staff) are good recruiters…Nicki is personable and loved by her players. So many factors are always in play…Just curious to me

Believe me...signing with TCU is all about $$$$. I've posted before reportedly VanLith and Prince cost them $1.1M.

So Campbell is playing zero part in them getting good players? Seems like a pretty naive take

I know Campbell had prior relationships with both HVL and Prince
Not saying they didn't get $$$…but the relationships were established.
He is well thought of

Not saying Campbell was not a part of landing them, but out bidding all others is significant...just ask Robert Wright

Prince came from OR when Campbell hired, so not sure she cost that much. HVL already had her endorsement NIL, I read on here about $700K. I'm sure tcu gave her a bag of $ though.

TCU hired a very good coach who is also an excellent recruiter. Players want to play for him. TCU apparently has unlimited $$$ as well. Plus getting to Elite 8 is a huge accomplishment and drawing card for good players. CNC will have Baylor there too. Excited for next season!

Campbell will get players. So will we…CNC is off to a good start, and I'm sure, more to come. Nothing withering in Waco.

Nicki has done very well and she is not finished in portal. She got Taliah Scott who was ranked by most sources as a top 3 player in portal when Nicki got her. Taliah had strong interest from LSU and SC. I would say that is pretty darn good. Yes TCU has done well but so have we!!!

Excellent! Can't wait to see who else Nicki brings to Baylor. She is smart and keeps the recruiting news quiet. So glad she signed the 10 year contract extension!

While every coach is subject to legitimate criticism and not above questioning, electing to do so about this year's Portal Adds when it is still early in the process and CNC has already acquired both a Top Ten talent and a Top Twenty value buy seems REALLY weird.

If she strikes out altogether on post players and misses on a wing shooter, OK…..flame on. But that judgment is likely 4-7 weeks away. At this point, the progress to date is much closer to an A grade than an F grade.

So did Yuting Deng commit!?

That post is ambiguous...

Yea, can't tell. But we now have her former coach. I feel good about our chances.

If she doesn't change her timeline, she was planning to choose next week I think. Her announcement was for 2 weeks.

Goodman with On3 is reporting: "OK transfer Kiersten Johnson is likely to commit to Baylor. 6-4 junior avg 2.2 ppg this season."

3 years at OK. Will be a senior. Backup bench player. 3 years at OK, avg 8.9 min, 3.6 pts, 2.5 reb.

The buzz is that Cunningham's headed to UT. So that may free up some money to go after someone else...

Kiersten Johnson has committed to us - she posted it on her Instagram!

Sure did…awesome! Kyla in the pics, has gone blonde…looks good

Have seen rumors about Baylor and Sa Mya Smith. Not sure about that but I definitely think she would be good. She played very well for LSU this past season.
BearTiger
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Don't know much about Johnson, not a lot of info on her. She is from Duncanville, TX.

We made her an offer like 2 weeks ago. Since then our offer was far exceeded by UVA tho
sicemfromcanada
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I'm not seeing much on her either. Looks like someone who's probably going to back up Bella and then have a chance to start once Bella leaves. I really hope there's something to that Yuting Deng picture though…she has a ton of eligibility left and her 3 ball is insane
BearTiger
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Johnson only has 1-year left, will be her senior year. She will likely be backup bench player for us. Perhaps the 6th player?
12au
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I really hope we can land Deng. She has some nice ball handling skills too, especially for her size.

36% from three on 6 attempts/game

Ah yes. Y'all said that in the comments and I missed it my bad

Had not heard about UVA. If her decision is based on money and most are, they will get her.

Although if we really want her we could likely increase offer since Cunningham is going to UT

If you are going to increase on the 300k rumored that we offered, I think there are better players to give that kind of money to
Bear3

Yes I think she and Pemberton will be solid bench players. Really do not see either starting next season. We really need a starting post and that is very difficult to get without a huge bag of money……..
