That fact that so many posters think a player is going to be fully committed to playing both basketball and volleyball during seasons that overlap in college is hilarious. It is not something that can happen. The most logical thought process for her is that she wants to keep a fall-back option available. She probably prefers one sport (I have heard basketball but that is not confirmed) but at the same time she knows that once she gets up there that she might be able to have more success at volleyball. If that becomes the case she wants the door to be open for her to do that if basketball does not go the way she hopes. That makes sense. This nonsense that she will be fully on both rosters, trying to attend every practice/workout/game for both sports in hilarious.

It really isn’t hilarious. Too many posters on here simply want to be right about their opinion. For me, supporting the growth of players and in collaboration with them determining what is best for them is my focus. The coaches determined what opportunities to offer Hurst. This is why you are not a coach.

So what if you might not be a WNBA lock but you might be an Olympian in Volleyball. That would be a tough call.

Exactly. Plus, there are athletes that excel in a sport or two or three that practice is not as important for them as it is for other athletes. Deion Sanders comes to mind. Also, playing multiple sports prevents overuse injuries. There are other practical benefits as well.

2025 Top Women's Basketball Recruits

The 247Sports rankings are determined by our recruiting analysts after countless hours of personal observations, film evaluation and input from our network of scouts.
247sports.com 247sports.com

The complete 247 rankings. Civil is where she needs to be in this ranking up towards the top ten. Not in the 30's like ESPN. Three top 20 players in their rankings.

I think from the evidence just from the portal and 2025 recruiting that KIm knows how to close on recruits. The Assistants know how to get them here and when they get here Kim can close the deal. Other than five players all the players on the team are already her recruits. Next season that goes up to all but two. That is what you call making a roster that had virtually no one into a top 20 contender in just one season.

Hope your right, but there will be volleyball before basketball so suiting up would seem to be a strong possibility. I expect her to go to basketball fulltime, but won't go as far as to say she want suit up for volleyball since that will be the first option next season.

Well, again, it won’t happen next season regardless. She is signing basketball scholarship papers, which, per NCAA scholarship rules, means she cannot play volleyball next season.

Multiport athletes count against the scholarship allotment of the first team they participate in during an academic year, practice or game. Volleyball does not have an open scholarship for next year, unless there is mass attrition that is not replaced via the transfer portal. Which means to participate in volleyball next year, she would have to give up a scholarship and be a walk on in both sports, which is not happening.

I would bet Boyd is PG1 next season. CKC is grooming her. Spearman should be the starting 5.

Kansans love their home school. He has some nice players but I don’t think they’ll ever get going there. Nichols is a player I was sad we missed on a couple years ago.

Keeley Parks has KU in her final 3. Wonder if they have a real shot or will she choose one of her home state's schools - Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.

So you're impressed by Boyd too, eh? She is actually the biggest surprise of this early season for me since, for some unknown reason, I'd gotten it into my head that she'd probably be a shrinking violet-type. Nope! She's really poised and solid and READY. What a delight!

Given the way Kim substitutes, I'm not sure being a starter means all that much. Maybe 1'30". Ruby is stepping into the role of a go-to. Talaysia is already there. Next year will be more indicative of how Kim will utilize players as that team will be quicker and more suited to stress press than this years team.
