I just watched this young lady play. Coach Rob got one this time. She is the real deal.

does anybody have any video on this young lady? i'm sure she's a fine player but just being "nominated" for the mcdonald's all american team personally does not move my needle. we've signed mcdonald's all american "nominees" in the past which is a great deal different than actually being "picked" as a mcdonald's all american. heck, if ever we sign a true mcdonald's all american, we'd need to step up our schedule in competition cuz a true mcdonald's all american would push us over the top and make us competitive against most major d1 squads, many of whom do not have any mcdonald's all americans on their squads...

Shes a legit D1 player. She has video on her social media accounts too btw, and she's gotten a TON of D1 offers from some good mid/low-major D1 programs. Actually, I was kinda shocked when she committed because the bulk of her good offers came after we offered (we were one of her first), and usually kids overlook that first school and go with the bigger fish. And to your point about the All-American nominee thing: you're correct, it isn't that big of a deal in comparison to actually being one of the 15 selected. There are a couple hundred boy & girls nominees per year, and its done by coaches. But in general, every GOOD program at the D1 level should probably have like 1 or 2 on the roster.

That’s a 4 or 5 star and you need NIL money for that, somewhere in the six figures. That dream might be over for us low/mid majors these days 😂

Nominated is GREAT for us! Doubtful we'll get a "picked" anytime soon. We'd have to do what Gonzaga has done and make some noise in the tournament and build from there...and probably get some substantial NIL money.

she's plays weaker competition. I'll have to wait and see. Plus, she'll have a lot to live up to in Aggieland with that first name.
