Got cha, a lot of fans were watching the OT Select tournament the Pauldo Twins competed in. My bad on assuming it would just be known automatically.

I actually found it close to the start of the fourth quarter and watched the balance. Great finish!

Interesting that these are all guards/wings except for Mobley and Williams (who may not have been offered by the new staff).

Wasn't Finley Chastain #1 before?

Lot of elite guards in 2027 class. Very deep in the back court. Kaleena Smith deserves to be at the top. But there are 10+ guards with 5-star potential. Some like Smith and Banks have elite quickness and others like Ayers and Chastain can play 1-3.

Chastain was coaching at Adidas finals and USA. Told she missed most the summer with a knee issue. Meniscus surgery? According to Dallas news and Hoopgurlz she’ll be playing point for Faith Family in Dallas. Amari Byles (#17 2026) and Amayah Garcia (#49 2026) are transferring there too.

I’ve seen her anywhere from 8 to 18. Prospects Nation hasn’t ranked the 2027 class yet. A lot of services didn’t rank the 2027’s before this summer and I think some of the number 1 talk for her was based on potential before this latest high school and summer season.

I don’t recall seeing any. I had heard speculation but never saw it reflected in an actual ranking. Hopefully we still have a shot with her. I wonder if she fits CKC’s system?

Finley has jumped around the rankings, yes but not on her play,,,more for the injury she is presently rehabbing

She had meniscus surgery done by the Houston Rockets knee specialist. He said everything else looked great while he was in there and she’ll be back practicing in 6 weeks and playing early December.

She is a 2027 so she has plenty of time to get back on the horse and ride the heck out of it....I have no doubt that Finley will re-climb back to her pre-injury spot

Maybe Chastain is off CKC's and staff's radar.🧐

I was gonna post something snarky but thought better of it. Lot of time to go and many games to be played. She has yet to commit anywhere and is still in the ring, regardless of what Jumper sez. If he does have “inside” information, I could see why programs are steering clear.

I don’t think we’re interested. She has dropped to 4 stars and I’m hearing no buzz.

I was not sold on her signing, it was way too early, she had not played any real competitive ball. Player ranking for 7th graders are legit a joke lol. Felt like a desperate grab.

Always looked like Pissott 2.0 to me.

My rapport with athletes is not just during TN recruiting,,,I have connections with other coaching staffs and many non-TN targets.

I have been in BB for over 40 years, pooh, you know this...And my rule of thumb is "if I see any sign of a bad influence or adverse connection to TN" I immediately drop contact'...Pooh, as much as you, personally, have surmised or concluded re my involvement in TN or recruits,,,you have just touched the surface of my influence and involvement and long-standing relationships...It is only to those in this forum that see me as a bad influence.

Or as Mark 6:4 puts it,,,"Only in his hometown (Fan forum), among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor."

think about it

I can only base my opinion of your basketball acumen on our relationship within the forum.

I generally try to stay centered without making absolute, definitive statements, largely due the the many variables I am not privy to, especially with regard to recruiting and team performance.

I truly love your post game turnover reports. Tremendous value there.

I also try to give you the benefit of the doubt due to pre-existing biases among the participants here on the board, prior to my arrival.
