The big kid from Iowa  Burkhall 2015 might have been on campus yesterday for camp.

The big kid from Iowa  Burkhall 2015 might have been on campus yesterday for camp. 

 

She's a Top 60 recruit on a couple of recruiting services. She is 6-2 or 6-3 power forward.....apparently long, athletic and runs the floor well.. I think she's being recruited by OU, Virginia, Texas, Colorado, Auburn, Iowa State...and maybe NU too?

 

I'm sure if she was at camp, the coaches were giving her a good look.

 

It's one of those deals where she might be too good to pass on, if she wanted to come to NU..... but can Yori take another big (or any recruit) for the 2015 year?...then go after guards and wings in 2016 ?

 

Could possibly be a tough situation for Yori.

I had heard something similar kansashusker. But I couldn't confirm it. She would make a great addition to the Huskers should she decide on picking NU. And yes she is one that you make room for should she pick NU. I think she either goes Big 10 or Big 12. Oklahoma and Iowa St from what I gather had been in the lead for her.

 

Danni Williams the Clovis New Mexico guard who had an offer from Nebraska chose Texas A&M Wednesday.

I don't know if tyler Johnson has made a decision yet but hearing KU a heavy lien

[Row6Seat10]

From what I have heard Fennelly had made Burkhall a priority get a while back and right now I think ISU only has one scholarship left to give. So that could be the reason for Tyler Johnson thinking of taking her ball to Lawrence.

I take Burkhall.  Good bigs are hard to find.  You find a way to take her if it's possible

The only way I'd hesitate is wondering what promises were made to the currently committed recruits.  If they were told they wouldnt recruit any other player at said position and go against their word it may not end well for NU.

Good point. And I agree if that was the case.

This shows how far Texas Tech as fallen in Women's BB.  Clovis, New Mexico is in their backyard.

One time Husker prospect Arike Ogunbowale has narrowed her choice of schools down to 5 - Louisville, Notre Dame, Ohio St, UCLA and Wisconsin.

 

This kid is in love with all the attention she's been getting and will no doubt make a spectacle out of her announcement whenever that should come around.

Somewhere Matt Coatney and Jeff Griesch are smiling....that name would have been a beast to pronounce....

The 2015 Big Board continues to dwindles down as one time Husker target Hallie Thome just announced she committed to Michigan on twitter a few hours ago.

The first early D-1 (2015) recruiting team rankings has been released by the All Star Girls Report. There are still lots of verbals to be given between now and signing day in November so it will change, but not that much I wouldn't think.

 

But in the meantime your Huskers sit at #6! I colored the rest of the B1G in blue.

 

Individually they have Jessica Shepard rated at #5, Lanie Page at #68 and Rachel Blackburn is #83, Maddie Simon isn't ranked. In conclusion it will probably turn out to be the best recruiting class the Huskers have ever had!

 

1- Connecticut

2-Tennessee

3-Notre Dame

4-UCLA

5- Kentucky

6- Nebraska

7- Texas

8-Baylor

9- Duke

Yeah it's like thinking Mizzo, AM, and Colorado still in the Big 12 now that is hard to not keep thinking that.

How high was the '14 class ranked?  No top ten talent, but plenty of top 100 talent including Kaylee Page, Natalie Romeo and Chandler Smith, all ranked among the top 65 players in the nation by ESPN Hoopgurlz.

 

That's pretty good stuff when you can count six top 100 players on your roster, which Connie will be able to do a year from now.  That means you'll have at least one top 100 player sitting on the bench at the opening tip.  How cool is that?

[Row6Seat10]

Norm the same service had the Huskers ranked at #36 last season in their final rankings. I think this service is based out of Cincinnati. I think the lower ranking was mostly because they never went out to the west coast and evaluated our west coast girls fully. Hoopgurlz had our 2015 class ranked at #9 but their top evaluators are from the San Francisco area.

Row you have me totally confused with your last post.  do you mean our 2014 class was #9?

good catch kansas. Yes, our 2014 class was #9. Sometimes these fingers have a hard time hitting the right key!

[Norm Peterson]

So, two probable top-10 classes in a row.  That is top notch.  That is Elite 8 talent right there.  With an equally good coaching staff.

You're absolutely right on the Elite 8 talent. Which makes in my opinion the 2016 class the most important class yet. If the Huskers can amass another top 10 class they could be considered Final 4 talent worthy.
