Tom Jones Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Native Nebraska girl round- ballers keep getting better. I have been watching for a looonng time. I once said that Maurtice Ivy was the best Nebraska raised girl BB player ever. Her #1 ranking, in my amateur mind, lasted all the way till I said that about Jordan Hooper. Which lasted until I said that about Jess Shepard. And then most recently Alexis Markowski - whose reign as #1 (in my amateur mind) didn't last any longer than watching Britt Prince in last year's state tourney. I know I left out a lot of players, especially Kissinger, and I know that making such an assessment about a girl at age 14 seems premature. But jeeezzze - how she can be a do-everything player and take over a game against girls two and three years older! Obviously I think she is a "must get - just gotta" for Husker WBB. She has been or will be offered by almost all the name programs. It's reasonable to think it will come down to a tug and pull between playing for a top program/legendary coach/national championship contender vs staying close to home and playing in front of family and friends. What will help is if DONU, in the next two years, can close the gap between being a mid level B1G team and being in the national top ten - thus making it close to a best of both worlds choice for BP. Two nightmare scenarios - IU and Creighton. Red Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUD Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Don't forget the impact our state of the art facilities has on recruiting. Between the practice facility along with Pinnacle and the new 150 million dollar athletic facility which will be done in two years we have an an advantage on most teams.

A sucker for the latest thing that comes along! Seriously, no doubt Britt Prince will be a highly-sought recruit and will have her choice of programs,i.e. location, academics, and whatever appeals. I think one of our biggest advantages is the obvious Fun and Zest with which we play. The players are always saying how much they enjoy playing together and how it is a 'home away from home' for those a long way from Home. And it doesn't hurt that we are having some success to-boot! i.e. do Iowa and say, Michigan et al LOOK like they're having Fun. (Nor do they Always Win!)

All About the Corn Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Both good points on family and now the NIL factor. Top recruits will still look into going to top programs. We see that with our VB team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of Jazz's play near the end of the Indiana game.....was the play of the game I thought. Almost the same thing. Indiana guard went to the floor and Jazz sank the 3... So cool !

caveman Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 In truth I am guessing her and her parents will decide this summer.

whoopdeedoo Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 You nailed it. Having watched @Brittprince23 the last two years a bunch, I love that I can call someone who averages nearly 25 pts per game “unselfish”, but she is. She is happy to make the extra pass to get a teammate a better shot. https://t.co/PvDMLtXogI — Coach Booth (@CoachKBooth) March 11, 2022 12dozen, mwm89 and Red Don 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caveman Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 a year ago i'd said we had no shot a her. at this point call me crazy, but i think there is a good shot. reason: -Mendelson, Markowski pretty good options to throw into. -cutting our teeth with the likes of Weidner and Krull -gets to go under Jaz's wing, who cut her teeth under Ionescu's wing. if you want to be the best, learn from the best. 4 primary interests: PT: check Have fun: check Win: check Academic success: check Add on a chance to be the transformative player that takes a program to the might be worth while Finally chance to be the face of the women's program, which a year ago I'd of thought impossible with the success of volleyball. Remove Stivrins and Jaz is possibly the next most prominent face in women's sports in Lincoln what a difference a year makes. we went from pretty bare to checking many boxes 12dozen, HUD, mwm89 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Jones Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 if i could grow another hand, I would cross another pair of fingers. She could be a huge difference maker. Here is something that seems to be an important consideration often showing up in HS athletes' explanations of why they chose to say close to home --- the presence of younger siblings. Does anyone know if she has any? Cazzie22 and mwm89 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUD Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 All good thoughts. Three more. If her Mom stays coaching a lot easier to follow your daughter and your old team. Our facilities are second to none especially with the new athletic complex coming in a year. The new coach Jessica Keller will be an improvement in many ways.
