![]() UPDATE: May 2017 - ESPN updated their hoopgurlz rankings. I've updated the rankings here as well. The number next to the '#' is their new ranking. The number in the parenthesis is their old ranking, if that number is red then they fell in the rankings and green means they rose in the rankings.

![]() After looking at this picture for some time now and comparing it to pics on line, I feel pretty sure that the girl in question who is sitting directly behind A'ja (next to Kiki and in front of Alexis) is Morgan Jones. A 6'2" guard from Our Lady of Mercy HS in Georgia rated #27 and not Tori McCoy as some folks think. If you google "Morgan Jones basketball" and look at the pic of her in a USA shirt I think you'll see what I mean. Just SPECULATION on my part but I think I'm on to something as all the coaches follow her.............if that's who it is she can ball!

![]() That is NOT Zarielle Green. That is in fact Morgan Jones.. likely on an official visit.

![]() I do. I think we'll take either Zay Green or Morgan Jones, whoever commits first.. I'm not sure we'll take both but it's possible. I think SC wants room for NaLyssa Smith and Nelson-Ododa.
I've only started doing research on Jones over the last few months after being alerted by one of the posters here (Truly Cocky), but she is quite the guard.. I think she's a little underrated by ProspectsNation.. her ESPNhoopgurlz ranking seems more appropriate. Jones and Green have similar styles of play that's why I don't think we'll take both... especially when you consider the number of guards we'll have on roster the next few years. If Green (who has SC in her top 5), elects to stay in state then I fully expect SC to turn it up a notch on Jones. But keep in mind.. SC is also in it for Elizabeth Balogun, another big guard (6'0/6'1) that can play that off guard/small forward wing position.. I feel good we'll get 1 of the 3 among Green, Jones or Balogun.. The reason I don't think we'll take more than one is because of who's currently on roster.. we just brought in Haley Troup (5'11, SG/PG), Bianca Jackson (6'0, SG/SF) and LeLe Grissett (6'2/6'3, SF/PF).. so there's a lot of talent at the wings for us, but then Grissett is big/strong/and so freakishly athletic that she can play the 2, 3, and the 4. So for 2018, all you need is 1 more wing.. |

What are your thoughts on the loss of Coach McCray-Penson and her recruiting prowess? She's been great at recruiting and forming bonds with potential players & their families. Gonna miss the "special guests" tweets she would send out when recruits are on their visits. Do you think it will have an affect on players with us in their finals? |

It's definitely a loss, but I don't think it's a loss that's going to knock us out of contention for our targets. We'll see though. I think most recruits understand that even though McCray or Shmiel may end up being your position coach, you're actually playing for the head coach who is Dawn Staley.. so I'm sure a lot of them are interested in SC because of Staley and our program mostly. |

![]() UPDATE: ESPN Hoopgurlz #57 overall, Brinae Alexander, committed to Vanderbilt University today. Brinae received a lot of SC interest early on but we cooled off many months ago.. she even visited for last year's UConn home game.
Alexander is the 2nd player to commit to Vanderbilt today.. #22 player overall, Jordyn Cambridge, the #6 point guard in the class, also committed to Vanderbilt. Both announcing at the same time and both also being from Tennessee.. likely a coordinated attack. |

![]() The girls in the 2018 class are slowly committing to schools, only 13 of the top 30 remain available. Still time for this to be our best class ever, but I'm starting to get a little anxious. I know we're in the running for several, but I would rest easy if some combination of NaLyssa, Aquira, Olivia, Zarielle or Morgan would commit. I'm good with what we have for next season; thinking longer term..........it's never easy!

I would think that some of these recruits are not committing to us because we either backed off, were not making them a priority or were slow playing them. If the 13 players had scratched us off the list, then it would be panic time. But if we are still at the top of their lists, it will be a great year. |
