Britt Prince

[whoopdeedoo]

i have always thought Prince is a "must get" for the husker program. with the new alignment on the way, it most likely deserves capital letters (MUST GET).

[HUD]

I still think she will commit to Nebraska by Sept. 1st of this year.                                                                         

[whoopdeedoo]

i was looking at hoopgurlz today (8/22) and noticed they have dropped Prince to #25

[caveman]

nothing shocking there, fly over country doesn't get the attention that the east and west coast do

[whoopdeedoo]

just finished listening to the SM & Amie Just podcast. Sam stated Brit will be making her decision in October. Also stated there will be an article coming out on her recruiting sometime towards the end of the  week?

The optimist in me says ... "so we have a chance".  But pessimist in me noted right away a dreaded four letter word among the 11 finalist schools.

Kind of figured Iowa would be in the mix. 

[Cazzie22]

Iowa plays a fun, up tempo style that would suit her game.  But we have to sign her.

Quote

Prince, one of the state’s most heavily recruited high school athletes ever, received 35 Division I scholarship offers. The 5-foot-11 senior guard has whittled that list to 11 and is expected to make her decision in less than two months.

The pared-down list of collegiate landing places for the high-scoring guard are Nebraska, Creighton, Iowa, Iowa State, Indiana, Oklahoma, Oregon, North Carolina, Baylor, USC and Louisville.

will someone remind her please .... it's October now

 

[All About the Corn]

I am thinking shortly before BB practice starts she will name her choice. So another month. 

[Huskerpapa]

She will likely narrow her list down first, perhaps to her top five.  I will be anxious to see if she is attending Husker games this season.

[All About the Corn]

Will she be at the Iowa WBB game at Kinnick (football) on the 15th? It will be on BTN so maybe just might have to watch.

Hasn't practice already started?  EDIT:  Oh I see ... you are talking HS BB practice - I was thinking UNL.  So ... Nevermind

thought of something else

[whoopdeedoo]

anyone else getting more and more nervous about this decision? 

i just have the feeling if she really had her heart set on Big Red, it wouldn't drag out this long. 

someone calm the nerves.......

I'm not concerned at this point.  I assume she is deciding what her most important priorities may be.  We have a lot going for us.  But the other schools likely have their own plus and minuses.

I am still pretty confident that Nebraska still brings the most to the table.

There was loose talk (read: rumors likely based on wishful thinking) this spring about NU making some room for Britt’s mom to serve on the WBB staff in some capacity if Britt chose Nebraska. But if that were to be true, then I would think that would give NU a decided advantage. 
But I’m with you, Whoopdeedoo, the longer this goes on without an announcement, the less I like NU’s chances. 
Then again, whatever happens, happens. You all know how I feel: I don’t care where she goes, just ANYWHERE but Iowa!

Have heard that before.... last spring I think it was. And yes, think it's just rumor stuff.

 

Don't have a real clue, where Britt will go. Her choices are too many to try to figure out a winner. It's nothing but a guess for fans.

 

But.. hoping it could be Nebraska. But if not, she'll probably pick a high level nationally ranked team.

[Cazzie22]

Have we recruited at a high enough level for her to commit to NU?  I am sure she has a goal of competing for Championships.  I hope she becomes a Husker but I have my doubts.

I know we disagree on this, but I would far rather see her play for Creighton than play for Iowa. 

[All About the Corn]

I would guess she is taking the time to shrink the list to her top 4-5 schools. I think it is Creighton, and B1G schools. Maybe a couple of schools in red, and one in black.

who, WHO, WHO (on this side of the border at least) would disagree with this?

[HUD]

In my mind if she comes to NU great.  If not I don't think our program will fold.  There are one hell of a lot more important things in a college athletes career than winning a national championship.  NU is second to none in supporting women's athletics in all aspects.

Both programs suck.  Hard to differentiate between stepping in poodle poop and lab poop.  Both are sh**; they stink the same and it is difficult to remove the smell from the bottom of your shoe.
