Thanks for the info, Hulk. How does that square with three of our four current offers out going to post players? (Nnaji, Gardiner, and Betts.) Do we have five offers out and one is just not known? I had thought Tara never extended more offers than she has open slots?

I think we offered Jackson.  Otherwise, I'm not clear why she would have listed us among her finalists.
Similarly, I feel confident that Tara does not want both Gardiner and Nnaji,
because they appear to be mirror images (big forwards), and those two plus 6-7 Betts creates an imbalance in the roster.

With Kiana and Anna leaving, Tara must want another true point guard to supplement Van Gytenbeek--e.g, Rice, who probably can defend three positions.
And I assume Tara wants a three point shooter in this class--with Kiana and Anna leaving and Lexie with only one year left.
That shooter has to be Londyn Jones.

I also think Tara covets both Rice and Jones for leadership reasons,
and likes that they've both spent practiced and played for weeks with Gardiner and Betts.
And I assume Gardiner knows Van Gytenbeek, Prechtel and Belibi very well,
from years in Colorado AAU and high school ball.
Adds to the chances of assembling a very cohesive team, fast.

Or so this all seems to me.
