New recruiting target for 2017: Lexi Gordon

Doris Burke, is that you?

Yes. I frequent the BY to learn about the game. Some great minds here. -- D.B.

Felt good about Cox and A"ja Wilson too. Both had great visits. I can say she'd (they'd) be a good fit.

You can't always go with your "gut" feelings, cause sometimes it's just gas.

How wonderful would it be to log on tomorrow morning and read that Lexie is coming to Storrs?

If signing Moriah (2nd ranked player in her class + winning NC) did not create a pipeline out of Texas the last 3 years, why would signing Lexi (30+ ranked player in her class) suddenly change this ?

Consider this me telling you "I told you so". Keep hope alive!

30th ranked and rising fast. There is no guarantee that signing Lexi will create this pipeline. I believe I said I was "hoping" it does.
My reasons for hoping:

• The recruiting landscape has changed significantly and Moriah did not play AAU or HS basketball with any of the current Texas recruits like Lexi is currently doing.
• There are just more good kids in Texas today. In Moriah class 2012 there were 2 top 25 Kids from Texas Moriah and Alexus Jones. In the HS class immediately following Moriah 2013 there were ZERO (NADA, ZILCH) top 25 kids from Texas and only 1 top 50 kid Imani Wright. 2014-18 the top of the board has been stacked by Texas kids like Turner, Holmes, Cox, Collier, Prince, Richards.
• Lexi Gordon spent her family's money to visit UCONN & Charli Collier was reportedly planning on doing the same.
• UCONN was in the running for Turner & Cox up until the end-allegedly
• Many of these kids are choosing to stay in Texas but if one brave kid (a peer like Lexi) were to leave others may follow-I hope.

The other night, Jamelle said Geno would probably have a good recruiting class next year. Did she know more than we did? Megan Walker, come on down!
