The next two years have the potential to seismically alter the trajectory of our program. I’m just here rubbing my hands together like Birdman. Very exciting times for the ladies.
2026 recruiting
- Thread starter Carolina151
- Start date
Gamecocks and Tarheels have played some great games over the last several years. With your recent recruiting and the promise of more top recruits to come, that's likely to only get better.
Hopefully that also does not impact Bjorn.
l was hoping Iowa would continue to struggle getting top recruits post Clark.

I worry more about Texas and Uconn. Really want Addison, so hope I am wrong.
Bjorn and Woliczko are both listed as 6-2 shooting guards by On3, Don't get me started on the ridiculous position listings of HS recruits, but the point is that they will both occupy very similar positions on a basketball court. They are both good enough to play together obviously, but if I were either of these women I might think that perhaps we should not be on the same team to optimize my own game? In reality, if they are on the same team, one will likely be spending significant minutes at the 4, which maybe neither of them want.
When we did not make her top 5. I had a feeling that she would probably being going to Iowa. Good move on her part. She will start there and get plenty of minutes.

I think that Addison Bjorn has completed all of her official visits (was just at Iowa last weekend) so she may be in a position to make her decision soon. Fingers crossed!!
Bjorn is supposed to be at Dook this weekend, at Uconn Oct.16-19, Texas end of October and Kansas beginning of November.
Dominoes are starting to fall…

Yeah, the dominoes are starting to fall. I hope we can land at least one more. If I was a high school player in this day and age, and me and Kate H played on the USA team together, and we clicked, It would be no brainer for me to come and play with her. I guess NIL money is carrying a lot of weight with these players.
I hope Addison wants to get away from home and play with Kate H.
My other worry other than staying close to home is as always UConn.

Her older brother plays at Iowa St, not Iowa. Her twin brother is of course still in high school.
Well that helps. I still worry about UConn stealing her like they did Sarah Strong.
Tarboy, I think you are confused. Strong was recruited, not stolen. She chose CT to go play for a better program than UNC. I hope UNC can make up that quality gap. It will not be easy.
nicheel, I am well aware of how SS was recruited. UConn got her and we came in second. Geno A is hard to beat for a top recruit. He beat us fair and square. You must be a UConn fan Lol.
idk what it is about this board but some of y’all take things way too literally
It is human nature to have disagreements. I do not see anything wrong if you do cross the line.
Another domino. Emily MacDonald, a guard out of New York, selects Kentucky.

Kenny Brooks must have a lot of NIL money to give. His recruiting has gone to another level at Kentucky. He was not recruiting like this at VT. Congrats to him.
I was really hoping a few posters from the old board would not find their way to this board.
That was a nice pick for NC State. She is tall for a combo guard, 6'2." Her commitment video was nice too. I hope we can get Autumn Fleary. I just do not know. I would not be surprise if she went to Duke. They have been very good getting players from the DMV lately. I hope I am wrong and I hope NB did enough to persuade her to become a Tarheel. Also, UCLA has been getting players from the DMV as well. Go Heels!
Her final four were UNC, Dook, UCLA, and LSU
If not us let it be anyone but dook.
