Mallorie... back at it doing Mallorie things.

Just FYI... The two recruiting threads in this forum are now merged into a single thread.

This just in from the great state of Georgia...

Terrific news for Davidson basketball.

** Welcome to the Wildcat family, Tomisin.

Plenty of high school highlights here: https://www.hudl.com/profile/10387281/Tomisin-Adenupe

And some AAU highlights here: https://www.peakperformancebball.org/peak-tv

Perhaps I can hunt down some additional AAU stuff.

Davidson is now the only A10 team with more than one 2021 commit. There are three teams with one commit apiece.

Some more nice clips from AAU play. These are from the Deep South Classic, the same tournament in which Sallie played back in April.

Somehow found this, even though I only look back a month for stuff.

Susie Gardner (middle) is the head coach at Mercer.

Contained herein, among other things, is an authoritatively correct pronunciation of "Tomisin Adenupe".

More congrats to Mallorie Haines. A state champ again... this time in volleyball.

Signing day for a versatile and talented future Wildcat, Sallie Schutz, c/o 2020.

Skip ahead to 9:10 or so, and then you can watch until "technical difficulties" intervene.

There's an additional section at the end in which each of the five LOI signees that were present say a few words. I think there were at least 7 or 8 D1 signees in all from Sallie's team -- a talented bunch, especially the starting five.

I like her ESPN profile: http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-b ... /id/231132

Underrated by espnW, one could argue.

There are 11 P-5 schools in that list you can't see all of. There would be a lot more if she hadn't committed fairly early. In one of those skills camp interviews, she mentioned 12 offers.

Mallorie Haines's stepfather is Trip Bruce. Trip is the Crew Chief of the #52 Chevrolet Truck driven by Stewart Friesen. They won last weekend's race in Phoenix and have advanced to the championship in Homestead this weekend.

The race is probably Friday night on NBCSN. Go Halmar Racing! (The name of the team.)

Back to Sallie...

As an admittedly casual follower of such things, it seems like there is an incredible buzz around the recent recruiting successes on the WBB side of things, especially the early signings for the upcoming couple of classes. Could someone who is closer to the program, in terms of having a good sense for these things, give a sense of the magnitude of these signings and future commitments? Aside from being excited and happy, how game-changing might these signings be? Are we talking seismic changes? Certainly all sounds like Coach has exploded out of the recruiting gate!
