Hey Bob, I think when you updated the first post to cross off Littlefield, you may have inadvertently deleted a couple (or maybe you moved a few). We somehow lost our commit!

Ugh, I was afraid one of us would accidentally delete something while editing, but did I make backup copies of the post? Of course not. :0(
I did find a snapshot from November 2020 in the Internet Wayback Machine (

Edit: OK, fixed, I think. Fortunately not too much was missing. I've made a backup copy of the post on my home computer as of my edit today.

Is she teaming up with Ivory Latta? I always enjoyed watching Latta play. Such quickness and tenacity for being so small. Aari McDonald reminds me of Latta.

RE: Women's Basketball Recruiting -
BobK - 03-14-2021
So hard to guess as this year doesn’t count toward eligibility
We have 12 active players on scholarship.
We have 4 Frosh plus Brown coming in for next season. So could have 14-17 next season all on scholarship with no limit of 15
For 2022 we have 14 of those less maybe the Hulls, and Brown. The Hulls and Brown could play but in 2022 the limit of 15 on scholarship is back.
So the answer is most likely 4. With Betts committed 3 to go

Disappointing but not unexpected given that Gardiner "liked" 15 straight Oregon State posts on twitter before she announced.

This gives Oregon State two ESPN top 10 recruits for 2022, with Timea Gardiner at No. 4 overall and Reagan Beers at No. 10 overall. Their third commit is Adlee Blacklock, a sharpshooting guard from Lubbock, Texas. She is not ranked, but could be top 50 if she wasn't sitting out this season with an ACL (?) injury. After watching Stanford blowout a tired OSU team is the Pac-12 tournament, Timea probably felt Stanford didn't need any more help.

I don't know if this is relevant to any of the players in discussion. I was surprised to see the extreme variation is acceptance rate for PAC-12 schools. There are a couple schools that will basically accept anyone.

Yes, not all Pac 12 schools are alike--gargantuan variation. We all knew Stanford had a ridiculously low acceptance rate, then USC, Berkeley, and UCLA are the only really selective schools. Washington accepts half. Everyone else is above 75%. For comparison, SJSU accepts 63%, which makes it more selective than 6 of the Pac 12 schools, and UC Santa Cruz is 51% and Santa Clara is 48%, putting them on par with Washington. The one that really surprised me was Oregon, which was a "destination school" for a lot of California kids shut out of the elite UCs. At 80% it sure doesn't look very elite--WSU is 75%.
Of course there is a lot more than acceptance rates that that make a university a good destination--much more--but the admissions people used to brag about their selectivity and clearly a few Pac 12 schools don't have that particular feature to brag about.

That's disappointing and the Beavers are just getting stronger. I think Oregon State will be one of our main rivals for the conference title the next few years; Rueck has done a good job recruiting. Von Oelhoffen is already making an impact on their team.
I hope we get Rice, Nnaji and Londynn Jones to go with Betts, that would be a great class.

It made no sense for Gardiner to come here and compete with Brink, Belibi, Betts, Prechtel, and Iriafen, three of whom can race baseline to baseline.
Makes little sense for Nnaji to come here, either, but Stanford is the dream school for most Hopkins kids.
Still like the idea of Londyn Jones in lieu of a big, for a class or Betts, Rice and Jones.
RE: Women's Basketball Recruiting -
Jskass - 03-15-2021
or Betts, Nnaji, Rice and Jones but yes two guards would be great.

By the time the Class of '22 arrives to play, Belibi and Prechtel will be seniors and Brink will be a junior, so they would only have a year or two. Both Belibi and Prechtel has yet to show consistent offensive performance from the paint either. Prechtel is mainly a shooter right now and Belibi hasn't shown that she can adapt to better post defenders yet. Betts, if she fulfills her promise as the #1 recruit, will get extensive playing time, though.
Oregon State will definitely have more opportunities for post players, but Iriafen will only be a year ahead of the '22 recruits and as shown this year, if you can show better performance, like Brink has over Belibi and Prechtel, you can get more playing time and even a starting role, regardless of year.
Definitely, premiere guards will be the priority. Losing Gardiner would not be as stinging as losing Rice or even Jones as we need top guard play to complement our posts and match up against the likes of Bueckers and Fudd at UConn or Raven Johnson and Saniya Rivers, the #2 and #3 recruits of the '21 Class, both guards, heading to play for Dawn Staley at South Carolina.
