2020 Recruiting
Re: 2020 Recruiting
I’m still not understanding the tweet Verdi made a month or so ago about big news. Nothing I’ve seen since passes for that.

Re: 2020 Recruiting
They announced that 5'7" guard Desiree Oliver is transferring from Temple with 2 years of eligibility. Announcement says she was the top target for UMASS two years ago and was a top 100 recruit. Don't know if that's what the coach was referring to, but could be her.

Re: 2020 Recruiting
This could be the surprise...a former 100 player and our main target back then.
All due respect, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I'm gonna pass.

Re: 2020 Recruiting
^ I Googled her and she's a 5'6 guard who was listed in the nation's top 125 in one publication. It does appear that she can score.

Re: 2020 Recruiting
Just noticed some info on Makennah White, a 2020 signee. It looks like our frontcourt will get a boost next year. Check out the twitter thread from her high school.

Re: 2020 Recruiting
This is super exciting news. Program trajectory is going up. Heard from someone else that the goal this year is to be in the top 4 in conference. i do think that sooner or later, we will be going to a postseason tournament beyond the A10!
Re: 2020 Recruiting
Looks like White has some skills. Replacing Hailey will be difficult but White should help.

MaKennah White can reach TWO milestones tonight for @WMGBB She needs 5 points for 1900 for her career and 9 rebounds for 1200 for her career.
Re: 2020 Recruiting
I just keep seeing good things about White:

West Middlesex’s 6’1 @UMassWBB recruit MaKennah White is one of the greatest scorers and rebounders in Mercer County history. Last night she went 15-15 from the free throw line without I think ever hitting the rim.

A main takeaway today is the improvement of 2021 Mara Donnelly. Made her mark before as an athletic rim protector that can run the floor - all still true - but becoming a real offensive option. Looked comfortable facing up & putting it on the floor, and hit a couple perimeter Js

Re: 2020 Recruiting
Tory Verdi just tweeted about two new commits. Anyone know who he is talking about? I can’t find anything. It has to be good news, maybe he is letting the drama build.
