Here are my predictions/wish list for our 2021 and 2022 classes. It is purposefully a combination of a fan's wishful thinking for the best available recruits, what the team's positional needs may be, and some guess of likelihood of coming. It would be amazing if 2021 #1 Fudd or 2022 #1 Betts came but I'm not sure how seriously they are considering us.
2021
Brooke Demetre - Committed
Olivia Miles - Point Guard. Would be great to get a big point guard who could run the pick and roll. Still have nightmares of the Ionescu-Hebard pick and roll.
Sonia Citron - Shooting Wing. We need more shooting. In the '19 and '20 classes, Jump is the only pure shooter although Van Gytenbeek has a reputation as a shooter as well.
Talia Von Oelhoffen - Driving Wing. I've seen her described as a point forward. Seems like she drives well and uses her strength to finish through contact.
Kiki Iriafen - Post Big. Not the tallest or strongest post player but very long and skilled.
2022
Londynn Jones - Point Guard. Do we need another point guard if we get Miles in '21? Yes in case of injury AND we need more shooting and Jones is a long range shooter. She shot 47% from 3 on the U16 team at FIBA Americas and made twice as many 3's as the next nearest Team USA player.
Kiki Rice - Driving Wing. Big, athletic, versatile guard that seems to do everything well.
Timea Gardiner - Post Big. Possibly a similar game to Iriafen in terms of highly skilled post player. Probably more physical vs. Iriafen who might be more of a quick leaper.
