FYI, the Blue Star 30 invitational in Las Vegas was this past week with most of the best players in the country there. Treasure Hunt was a standout. She participated in the 3 on 3 qualifying tournament at the invitational, and her team won. With the win, they now move on to USA Basketball qualifying next year in Colorado Springs. She teamed with Madison Hayes of TN (2020), Raven Johnson of GA (2021), and Olivia Cochran of GA (2020)

Treasure Hunt and Madison Hayes both hold offers from Tennessee! Do not know about the girls from Georgia. Treasure and Madison are Tennessee lady’s. And both are about 6’ and play guard/wing . Both from the Chattanooga area. I think Madison holds an offer from North Carolina. Treasure holds offers from several schools including ( South Carolina) 🤔

Is it correct that we have 1 verbal for this class , the girl from West Virginia? Would love to get a gifted shooter like C. Kennedy from A&M

+/- 140 days until signing. Back in the day early September we knew as PHS would bring in recruits, cook a meal and take them on her boat. Before the emergence of social media - the good and the bad.

I think you may be thinking of Bruce Pearl, but no, having recruits to the coach's home is permitted if they are seniors. Bruce's problem arose because he allowed a junior who requested to come to the get together to attend and then lied about it when questioned by the NCAA.

Yea, Dawn has been known for bringing recruits to her house during the recruiting period. I think Holly did it with Zay Green and they had a dance contest and were dancing around. You hear about people having cookouts and dinners during the recruitment period which when you think about it is probably more intimate than going out to a restaraunt and talking shop.

Will MeMe, Davis and Brown be the main 3 shooters? I just hope they work on ball movement and get girls open for mid range jumpers. Seems like now days the mid range jump shot has been lost in womens basketball.

The midrange jumper is dead because statistically it doesn't make sense. Most of your shots need to be drives or threes. I'm sick of the LVs shooting 16ft pullups and shots from the elbow at a <40% conversion rate. I want strong drives and threes, and I want a conversion rate of 1 point per shot taken.

I agree somewhat. If one is trying to drive against a skilled shot blocker, you have two choices. Drive and get fouled or get called for a charge. I think one is as likely to get a charging call as a blocking call. If you are behind it does one thing, stops the clock. If one can accurately shoot the pull up jumper, you are likely to score and be able to apply the press, make a steal and score again. The pull up jumper still has its place and allows you to win close games. It also makes the defender to come out and defend which opens up the court for a layup. We missed more layups last year than we made and gave up more than we scored.

Rickea Jackson has TN in her top 7.[/QUOTE

Did she release an official top 7 I see hoopgurlz has TN, Ohio St, Mich, Mich St, Rutgers, TX, and U of L. Didn’t know if that was still her current top 7 I like TN being in on all these top recruits just a couple of years ago we couldn’t even really get them on campus or get a serious look. I know the “coaching talent question” has been beat to death on this forum but it’s good to see TN still holds some type of pull. It is going to be interesting to see how the 19 and 20 classes shake out because we are in on some of the top guard wing talent and then with Gusters being rated the number 1 post (from Duncanville TX teammate of Z. Green). Battle between her and Cordosa because we have Saunders and key now. Then you have Sasha Goforth, Angel Reese, and Treasure Hunt who are all top 20 wings and we are on there list. Going to be interesting.

Green can hit the three consistently so expect when she is in there she will shoot it. I agree the mid-range is a wasted shot either inside 10 or a three.

friends jumper is essential to break his own. You can go 3D 2 out for a dominant post or you can go three out to end for a 3-point shooting team the way to take the zone is the attack the center of the Zone in the center of the Zone has to be attacked with cuts drives and mid-range jumper

Sorry about the above post my voice to text is still learning how to handle the southern drawl. A mid-range jumper is necessary, it's the way it's been taught that makes it ineffective. Everything you see in midrange is a curl off the corner. It is a lot more versatile than that...Mid-range shots can be shot anywhere ten to 15 feet out. They are effective because they make the defense play every aspect of the floor,,,Not just short and long.. They confuse defenses because low players don't know if they should come out from the low-post and arc players don't know if they should back off their extended Zone. There is a gap in the zone. Either cutting through these mid-range areas or shooting in these mid-range pocket areas makes the Zone collapse from the outside and opens the 3pt shooters, or if it collapses From the Inside Out it opens up the back door. The mid-range jumper is a very essential weapon.
