With Coach G formerly of Duke moving to Longhorn country, has that created a buzz for Texas area players?

Yes it has.

[Mulkey Magic]

I'm curious what impact it has had on Baylor recruits. We have been considered in strong contention for Pope, Ogwumike, and also April Sykes (Miss.).

What do you think?

[sim111]

I think Baylor is in the running with the first two.

[hoopslover]

Is April still have Tennessee on her list?

[sim111]

I think so.

[BUFan]

I would not count BU out of the Sykes race.....

[sim111]

:rolleyes: I don't know if i am supposed to be unbiased but I sure as hell don't want that to happen

[hoopslover]

Now that its been a while since Coach G has arrived, how is the recruiting landscape in the Lone Star State? Has there been significant change, or no real difference at all?

[txbasketball24]

No real difference but there's some blue chips left that haven't committed.

The jury's still out!

[commonwealthfan]

The latest chat at Nike Nationals was Sykes to LSU but you know how things can change daily....I have a lot of respect for all athletics in the state of Texas...the girls from Texas are fun to watch.

[hoopslover]

Who are the bluechippers that are left uncommitted in the state? and what are their top 2 choices?

[txbasketball24]

Nneka Ogwumike (6), Brooklyn Pope (9), Destini Hughes (17), Briana Gilbreath (28) & Adaora Elonu (34). These rankings are according to Hoopgurlz latest update on the class of 2008. I don't want to speculate as to their top two schools of choice but by RUMOR only I would guess that NO's top two are Baylor & Duke. BP's would be Baylor but haven't heard of another. DH, I have no idea. BG's would be USC only because her sister is there. AE's, I have no idea.

I won't comment because some PUNK on the UT board is spreading even more lies about me. Again, wherever the kids choose to go, I wish them well.

Is it true to say that someone out there doesn't like you?

I thought she would have been decided by now, what is the deal with that, is it a secret, or has she lost some luster?

It's always going to be people who don't like someone, especially someone who goes against the grain. :D

[txbasketball24]

I would assume that her decision will not be made until the home visits are complete.

[hoopslover]

down here in Texas, its kind of quiet? Is Coach G havbing a hard time, or is she limited in scholarships this year?

[txbasketball24]

She's having a hard time now but give her another year or two.

[hoopslover]

Its Hoopslover from the DMV, just checking in on Coach G at Texas. How is it looking out there for in the upcoming season?

[txbasketball24]

Maybe the bad stories are of recruits/players from Conrads' regime. Coach G is going another direction which might hurt some feelings.

[hoopslover]

Coach G presents herself one way to the public but can be pretty intimidating and not good for women's college basketball..Be careful if you're a recruit...Been told several bad stories...

I have met Coach G, before and was able to sit and talk some hoops to her, and I don't think she conducts herself any different from what you see her in the public eye. Now this is just my opinion.

[hoopslover]

Looks like Coach G impressed one of the best in the country.

[hoopslover]

I know several that has played with her, and worked with her, and nothing but good things to say about her, but this is just my opinion.
