Rylee Grays, a really good 2023 post from Pearland HS:

You got to be seen green! Quick #unofficialvisit visit @Baylor. @NickiCollen brings the 3 ball to @BaylorWBB offense at long last and it’s poppin. So easy being around this squad. Pro structure, team culture. The Bears are poised to WIN IT ALL. 🐻 #SicEm pic.twitter.com/sudfgXFb0S

Recruits love the staff

---

Yes they do.......We just need transfer that to signatures !!!

oh i think we will for sure look what we did with the 2022 recruiting class in just a couple of months. I have a feeling we will get 2 great players out of the portal. This Staff is hard working and they do it cause they love to work with one another and they feed off of each other's strengths. Like from what i see i think Tari and Chloe are going to be the better recruiters in terms of assistants but Tony is great at player development especially for our guards.

What happened with Wagner and Lauren's little sister

Wagner didn't have us in her list Lauren Sister i am unsure i know she was in volleyball season so i don't know about the recruiting process much for her. But Sammie was about KM not baylor. But i think the class we got this year replaced that pretty well.

Recruits love the staff, the team chemistry, the pro-style play, possible playing time, winning culture……these days, for a potential Baylor WBB recruit, what's not to like?

The last six months have been a whirlwind of developing new relationships to find my best fit for the future. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the process to this point. I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. Thanks @recruitgfx for the edit! Photo cred 👇 pic.twitter.com/hrHqERGpwA

Wagner is gone -
Laurens little sister is a great kid, Fantastic fit for BU, She would be a great role player for CHC but of all the Cox sisters she is by far the most sensitive and I can't see her coming to Baylor to face the inevitable unfair comparisons to her big sis.

That is a very encouraging tweet from Rylee's Dad.

Does anyone know if we are interested in Rickea Jackson who just entered the portal. Miss. St. player, 6-2, 20+ ppg., 8+ rug., great credentials?

Word on the street is that Texas head coach Vic Schaefer
is 1 of many coaches pursuing transfer Rickea Jackson:

Lol Vic is recruiting.

This is 100% directed at Rickea Jackson. https://t.co/hYa4Jvujus

Rumblings have many schools in the mix ... including Baylor.
Here is a tweet from Rickea's mother
that addresses returning calls from coaches



Stay tuned !

if jackson goes to Texas I wonder how it will rub the other players and if it will cause any of them to hit the portal.

Word on the street Rickea Jackson could enter the 2023 WNBA Draft.
Whichever school she chooses, her playing time could possibly be short.

So a one year rental. While not perfect I see her as someone who could help carry the load next year and help ease the freshman in to the speed of college ball at this high of a level. Two years of someone that good is preferable but 1 is better than none!

Maybe- it feels like they have a ton of young (freshman/sophomore) similar types of players.
Also feels like he has a big roster. I admittedly didn't look this up nor follow them super close, so I could be way off here.

Reminds me of major league baseball and the trading deadline "rent-a-pitcher" option.
Transfer portal has changed game plan for recruiting.
My motto is always survive and advance

Yea I would like to have her whether it's 1 year or 2!

Thank you..sic'em Bears.

She's a junior so she is a part of the 2023 draft regardless unless she wants to stay an extra year

No i agree so i just feel this could rub some players waiting to get minutes the wrong way

Agree… and something to watch moving forward…

I think we will be a great fit because we are running a system she will thrive in, she gets to be a leader and develop her leadership skills, the environment seems to be positive in our program. Our head coach has helped coach/develop some of the best Guards/Forwards in the WNBA currently. And we have immediate minutes for her to have.

Who do you see Rickea taking a lot of minutes from? Queen and Nalyssa will be gone. Caitlin will get her minutes. Kendra has to lose weight and get in a lot better shape before she will earn minutes. None of the freshman or the Juco have earned time.

PG - Sarah, Jaden
Sg - Ja'mee, Ysabella
Wing- DLB, Catarina, maybe some Rickea-Caitlin
F- Rickea, Caitlin, Kendra
C- Foreign transfer?, Kyla

That's only 11 and many carry 12-13 or more. Don't know what CNC prefers - prob 1 more PG to be safe

the way you had PG and SG is what i would have i do feel that DLP Bella Catarina Bickle Rickea will all be able to just rotate the 3&4 position starters i have it being Rickea at W and Bickle at the PF and then the C position yes depending on the transfer situation. I think the only positions we will have specific people running them is PG and C but this Positionless basketball we want can come very fast!! I also think bringing in another shooting guard would not be a bad thing especially a pure shooter.

Charisma Osborne i think we should look out for out of UCLA to possibly hit the portal. She is a 5'9 guard that is a great scorer averaging 18 points a game and 3.5 assists. UCLA is not having a great season. This is could be a stretch but the way the portal works i can see potential in this transfer.

This week's MVP is @DunkingBeauty of @oilerpride_gbb. RyLee has been the missing piece for the Oilers girls team as she provides dominant rebounding and inside scoring. #IHSS #TXHSHoops pic.twitter.com/3v6SPTdoDQ

Rylee Grays - for now she thinks she wants to leave the state. That can certainly change.

Do not be surprised if Kyndall Hunter from texas enters the portal, She is not happy at Texas she has posted on social media apps how it is all a lie. She was crying in these videos and was saying how she was happy it was basically a lie and isn't happy anymore.
