On a flight, so had some time to get our updated recruiting board. We are still in contention of the players listed below. I have removed players who have taken visits and committed elsewhere. We are still in communication with several top players not mentioned who may take a visit here.
#1: Hall OV
#2: Harping OV, UV
#4: Oliviyah Edwards: trying to get OV set; finalist (finalist)
#5: Olivia Vukosa OCT 26th OV set; UV (finalist)
#10: Trinity Jones OV & UV
-#11: Addison Bjorn UV, trying to set OV
#12: Jacy Abii OV & UV (finalist)
#15: Autumn Fleary OV & UV (finalist)
#17: Jenica Lewis: has set OV
#25: Brooklyn Haywood: AUG 23rd OV set
#26: Chamiah Francis UV, OCT 25th OV set (finalist)

#40: Amaya Garcia UV (finalist)
#42: Emily McDonald OV
#61: Stella Lockhart: potential OV
Some notes:
-Watch the player and where they are going. If they’ve taken an UV and OV visit here- odds are we are a finalist and major player in the recruitment.
-Jones & Abii played FIBA ball with Lanie. Rumors could be playing together in college. We are in a very good spot with both of these.
-Brooklyn Haywood: strong relationship with Lanie
-Autumn Fleary: played AAU with Nyla Brooks.
-Bjorn: Played US FIBA with Lanie
-Hall and Harping: we’ve done everything we can to remain a top player for them in their recruitment’s. Both still high on UNC. Harping, specifically, I don’t think NIL is going to be a major player in who she chooses.
-we *should* be landing one in the not so distant future that should kickoff the class.
- Scholarships available for next year:
Exhausting eligibility:
-Nyla Harris
-Indya Nivar
-current open scholarship with Eliza not on campus and quiet on that front.
Possibly:
KMAC; should definitely get another year if her body will allow. If she does, is it here, etc.
Transfers:
The reality of WBB today. Standard transfers are typically 2-3 per year, not including COVID transfers. We’re a young team this year. Some potential logjams, players who haven’t played a lot the last couple of years could seek other opportunities.
-Syd could always go back off ship if needed. Walk-on ships are typically honored on a year to year based
My guess:
-2026: 3 HS signees
-transfer offseason additions: 3
