    2025 Recruiting

    Decided to put this here since Aaliyah Crump is the only Minnesotan on this list whose recruitment is still open. She was named to the Naismith Trophy High School Watchlist. https://naismithtrophy.com/2023-24-jersey-mikes-naismith-girls-high-school-preseason-watch-list/ The other two named...

    2026 Recruiting

    I have seen her play a few times including this weekend and that is exactly what I have seen during the high school season. Let's talk about that Hopkins game. 16 of those points were free throws (which was impressive...16/16) and there were plenty of complaints that the refs were bailing her...

    2026 Recruiting

    With Kendall McGee out presumably for the season due to an ACL injury she sustained at the state tournament last year, other Benilde players will have to step up if they want to win. The team needs a game plan in case Olivia doesn't play or has to leave a game (in this case due to injury)...

    Game 1: Gophers Host LIU (11-8-23)

    Halloway was a rebounding machine in high school but really wasn't a big scorer until her senior year. She gets the rebounds because of her athleticism...she's very thin but that woman has hops. Remember she was a 2x state champion in the high jump and also competed at state in a couple of...

    2026 Recruiting

    I believe she was playing on an ECNL team before quitting to focus primarily on basketball.

    2025 Recruiting

    Well, it looks like Minnesota may have some interest in recruiting from the Class of 2025 after all. Hadley Thul is a tall guard from Alexandria. Had played for North Tartan for the last couple of years and started for them in the USAB 10th grade US Open event this summer. I think she's a bit of...

    2025 Recruiting

    Besides Aaliyah Crump, she's the only 2025 in Minnesota ranked by ESPN. She's ranked #3 in the state by Prep Girls Hoops and #2 by Jr. All Star. She just got back from Wooten 150. She is a great shooter...I think I saw her hit 7 in a game once. That being said, she doesn't seem to be much of a...

    2026 Recruiting

    I am an Iowa native and as a high schooler it was always a given to see Dowling at the top of pretty much every sport. Luckily, we were a smaller school in a different division so never had to play them ourselves! As an adult living in Des Moines, the Dowling-West Des Moines Valley rivalry was...

    2026 Recruiting

    Sorry, didn't post. This is an Iowa player, out of Des Moines Dowling, which is a young, talented team. They came to Minnesota last year to play against Hopkins and only lost by 10, which is pretty amazing considering Dowling had a lot of freshmen and sophomores on their roster.

    2025 Recruiting

    2025 guard Tori Schlagel from North Tartan and Eden Prairie has committed to South Dakota. Not surprising since she was born there and her family is from there. And I didn't see this update in the thread: Bree Bowman, a tall, lean 2025 forward from Prior Lake who previously played for North...

    2026 Recruiting

    Presumably those teams are there to see Maddyn Greenway and her dad has blatantly said that NIL is a huge consideration for their family, so there may be mutual disinterest on both sides.

    2024 Recruiting

    After watching that, I am shocked. To never have even had a single interaction with her is crazy to me.

    2026 Recruiting

    Leelee Bell is LEGIT. She played for the Minnesota Stars AAU program this past season on a 2026 team coached by PJ Hill and they pretty much swept everything they played in, including taking the 3SSB championship. They had a talented roster but she and Sinae Hill are a cut above the rest. I'd...

    2024 Recruiting

    I am so happy she waited until today to announce this. I saw several kids announcing offers yesterday and it just didn't sit well with me. I think it goes to her strength of character and is a testament to the people she has around her.

    2024 Recruiting

    See my response above. She's a team player who makes everyone around her better. Great add!

    2024 Recruiting

    I have always been impressed with her. She's very slim but she's a tall, smooth guard who plays hard. I can't think of one special skill she has that makes her stand out, she's just an all-around strong player who is tall who does everything well. She had a devastating injury late last...

    2025 Recruiting

    Interesting that they have her listed as AIA since it looks like she left the club. Yesterday AIA posted about their 2025 and 2026 nationally ranked players and today they have a video introducing their 17U EYBL team and she wasn't in either, though surprisingly, it looks like North Tartan lost...

    2024 Recruiting

    Jakahla didn't have Minnesota (or any other P5 schools) on her list of offers so McKinney must be the only one left from this class that the Gophers have any interest in. I would expect both of these girls to commit soon so it will be interesting to see where they wind up.

    2024 Recruiting

    She and Aaliyah Crump did some TikToks in Creighton uniforms back in February (their former Tonka teammate Kiani Lockett is at Creighton) but that seems to be the only hint on social media she has given. I've always liked her as a player so hopefully Minnesota is interested in her.
