    Recruiting Corn-Husker-copia: Women Ink Top 20 Class

    The national letter of intent signing day is tomorrow and runs thru next Wednesday the 20th. The Huskers are expecting to receive 4 letters which could actually be the best class in Husker recruiting history. There a remote possibility that the Huskers could receive a 5th letter but that possibility has most likely less than a 2% chance of happening.

    They are expecting to get letters from the following players.

    Kaylee Page 6'2 - wing/forward from Wamega High School in Wamega, KS.

    Natalie Romeo 5'8 - guard from Carondelet High School in Concord, CA

    Jasmine Cincore 5'9 - guard from BriarCrest Christian High School in Memphis, TN

    Darien Washington 6'3 - center from Skyline High School in Oakland, CA.

    ESPNW has the Huskers recruiting class rated as the 16th best in the nation this year. Should the remote chance of landing a 5th happen it would most likely be Chandler Smith a 6'1 wing from Brewster High School in Brewster, WA.

    Kaylee Page and Natalie Romeo are both ranked fairly high in most recruiting outlets. Here's to hoping all four have successful and healthy senior seasons.

    Big Red's 2014 Signing Class Best in History

     

    Yori's quotes on the new recruits:

     

    Jasmine Cincore:

     

    “Jasmine is a strong, scrappy, physical kid who goes hard on every possession,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She is a good teammate, a good leader and selfless. She attacks the paint offensively and does a great job of scoring at the basket with her athleticism and strength. She also has the ability to get to the free throw line and might remind Husker fans a little bit of former Husker great Dominique Kelley. She is a high character young lady and student who put a lot of thought into her decision to become a Husker.”

     

     

    Kaylee Page:

     

    “Kaylee’s a great shooter and can score in multiple other ways. She is well coached and really has a feel for the game,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She is a gym rat, very competitive, engaged and focused. She is a good leader, student and teammate. She is a very active and aggressive offensive player. She will be a great fit for our system and our style of play because of her versatility.”

     

     

    Natalie Romeo:
     

     

    “We absolutely love her toughness and passing ability. Natalie is a floor leader who scores, sets others up to score, and brings energy and intensity every time she steps on the court,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She likes to push the tempo and she is an aggressive defender. She is a really good fit for our offense and our style of play.”

     

     

    Chandler Smith:

     

    “Another player that will thrive in our offensive system. Chandler is a great passer, both in transition and half court. She has very good handles and can shoot,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She is a good three-point shooter and can hit the dribble jumper. She is smart, competitive, has great length and size on the perimeter and is a savvy player. She played in the same AAU organization as former Husker All-American Lindsey Moore, and may actually be ahead of Lindsey offensively at the same age. Chandler is a mature young lady and a great student.”

     

     

    Darrien Washington:

     

    “We love Darrien’s size and mobility. She is strong, runs the floor well and works hard on defense,” Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. “She has played with some of the top guards in the nation on her Cal Stars Elite team, so she knows how to play with great players. She has good instincts, can move really well for a big, and finishes in transition. She is also a pretty good back-to-the-basket scorer. Darrien has a lot of upside, and we’re excited to help develop her skills.”

    exciting class.  i think the multiple point guard thing will work itself out.  i look for it to work more like last year, when Lindsay played the 2 quite a bit, but she always ran things when they were tight and late.  Miss Theriot will be a junior and probably running the show, whenever it is late or tight.  i do not think Mrs. Yori will be interchanging 3 at the point though.

    i also noticed from the picture that Miss Lanie Page sure looks good in red.

    On Sunday, Coach Connie Yori and her staff boasted their 2014 recruiting class with the signing of Brewster High School Senior and PBR # 93 Chandler Smith. She chose the Cornhuskers over Arizona State University, Baylor University, and Gonzaga University.

     

    Coach Yori is getting a 6’1 savvy point guard with great length and a high basketball IQ. Smith’s ability to handle the rock and knock down the shots will give her a chance to complete for playing time right away.
