Baylor would seem the logical landing place.

No, they would just head on back to Tech having seen the country.

Haaa,,,Yea, they have.

They are not sisters, they just have same last name and similar names.

Priscilla Williams is a 6'2 guard who was an adequate 3pt shooter frosh year but almost certainly will get better with time. H.O. good 3pt shooting. Prev 5Star and Missouri HS player of the year. Injury last season but now healed. Hadn't heard she entered the portal when most teammates left. If she does enter, maybe we look at her as a wing? She follows a few of our players and recruits (Inc Ysabella Fontleroy who is from Missouri) but no coaches yet.

Wish Camilla Carzosa was still available but she transferred to USCe.

The bigger target may be their incoming freshman [#11 recruiting class]. Particularly Latasha Lattimore.

Forgot we recruited her. Would like her size and athleticism,, esp if Sa'Myah is not looking our way..
Anyone else to watch like the Canadian PG we prev recruited or the other recruits form Tx?

Lattimore is the gem of their class. Might package deal but Lattimore is the only clear "take".

Thank you!

I tell you what if we have any shot at getting some of their better younger players and incoming class that is the way to go....we can pretty much assure them a ride with a group that could contend for a final four berth next year and widen open opportunities after next year...real tough to convince a talented kid with one year remaining to come to us with the competition that we have in the first 8 players....we need to reach out to the younger kids if they good enough and what we want in our program.

Let's hire this guy. The only accepted offers we have thus far are from coaches.

I think we were in consideration for a time but didn't make Lattimore's final 6 list. She then narrowed it to Florida, Kentucky and Syracuse. We know the Florida mess right now. If I'm Kentucky, I'm feeling fairly good right now. However, Baylor is a very different landscape now then when we were recruiting her. She fits this scheme much better. If she enters the portal, I have no doubt CNC and staff will give 110% to get her to Baylor.

Kentucky is in an entirely different position also. Two days after Signing Day, Coach Mitchell retired & Coach Elzy was named Interim HC [later made permanent]. Kentucky was expected to contend in SEC but significantly underperformed.

All 3 of her finalists have changed head coaches. Very unusual.

Probably he wasn't up to date on the 4 out and other new offensive schemes and the players felt they were not being properly developed for all star WNBA careers.

Nope. But pretty serious allegations of his abusive behavior. Seems like an inappropriate time to do whatever it is you think you are doing.

Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman resigned Monday amid an investigation.
The university said it had been unaware of issues, but @DanaONeilWriter and @ChantelJennings found players and parents have been raising flags since 2009. More details here: https://t.co/4eeibNEmaB

Thx for the Kentucky update. I feel our situation today will be stronger for Lattimore. Fingers crossed.
I saw that Texas got another verbal. What tha heck?! Moratorium on BU commits?

Her films look good. Hope we have a shot.

Let's close the deal!

Maybe....

I'd be ok with a twofer, package deal, recruiting bundle..




Latasha Lattimore, Shayeann Day-Wilson Decommit from Syracuse
The two class of 2021 prospects will not join the Orange program this season.
MIKE MCALLISTERUPDATED:AUG 4, 2021ORIGINAL:AUG 4, 2021




Two of Syracuse women's basketball's top signees in the 2021 class will not join the program. Latasha Lattimore and Shayeann Day-Wilson will both enter the transfer portal rather than enrolling, Lattimore confirmed. The news was first reported by Syracuse.com. The high school teammates were top 100 prospects and two of the top recruits in Canada in their cycle. The news comes just days after Quentin Hillsman resigned in the midst of an investigation into his conduct.
Lattimore was a 6-foot-4 five star forward who picked Syracuse over Cal, UCLA, Florida, Notre Dame, Kentucky, Baylor and Tennessee, according to ESPNW. She was ranked as the 6th best player at her position in the 2021 class. Dan Olson, who covers women's basketball recruiting for ESPNW, broke down Lattimore as follows:
"Athletic front court performer brings superior length, wingspan, defensive presence in the paint; rebounds and initiates the fast break, runs the floor like a guard and finishes the play in traffic; soft touch in the paint, plays near the rim; continues with a dominant interior game; a difference maker on both ends of the floor."
Day-Wilson was a 5-foot-5 four star point guard who was ranked as the 9th best point guard in the 2021 class. She chose the Orange over Florida, Notre Dame and Michigan. Olson broke her down as follows:
"Athletic floor-leader with a scorer's mentality in the back court; a penetrator, collapses the defense and distributes with flair; elusive floor game, 1 on 1 creator with offensive game beyond the arc; best in uptempo; a disruptor, gambler on defense."

Thank you!

Are we pursuing either of them? We were in the mix previously, so I presume we are, but curious about the status?

Yes. I'm curious also. I would think that their decisions would be soon if they plan to play this season. Classes begin soon. Might be a done deal and they are waiting for college acceptance etc.

Sure hope that's the case, usually early chatter about those things, though

Currently playing in Europe for Canada in the FIBA World Cup U19. Have to imagine that the entire process is On Hold until after returning.

You may be right. However, I don't see Lattimore on Canada's FIBA19 roster.
