Crazy to be in that final 5... With some really good FB prospects visiting this week, this might just be the most important recruiting weekend in our athletics history.

Is it? I don't know the first thing about women's basketball recruiting.

Louisville, USC, and Duke are powerhouse womens teams, I believe USC has been to a couple final fours recently and Louisville and Duke are almost equal to their mens counterparts in terms of legacy. Ironically, I know nothing about Michigan, but what I do know is we have one of the worst womens basketball programs in the P5 and have for a long time now. The gap between the four and us is even larger than any recruitment on the mens side (FB or BB). Beal's ranked 13th by ESPN FWIW.

Is she in-state?

And do we have any chance at all?

The one thing I know about women's basketball recruiting is that being the bridesmaid (or I guess best man in this case lol) is exactly as meaningless as it is in men's basketball recruiting.

(Ladies and gentlemen, my first Illini women's bball hot take!)

South Carolina Womens basketball has been in the final 16 for 5 years in a row and won it all 2 years ago. They also draw larger crowds than anyone else and it ins't even close. It would be hard to turn them down if they wanted you.

This would be great. All the package deals that have fallen through in the past. The one we land will be with a women's bball recruit.

You never know. The women's player package deal/ influence. I guess DJax went to Notre Dame all because of Skylar Diggins. :rolleyes:
