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.
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 ?
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.
