De Soto has always been good to usgiggitygigem said:
Offers at that age mean very little considering none of them have played varsity basketball, I've done a little research on these 4 and think they're all going to DeSoto which spent all of this passed season nationally ranked in the top 10 and even spent some time at #1 with some big wins none bigger than the win over Janiah Barker led Montverde Academy.
Joni knows this, iron sharpens iron, so playing with talent can only make you better if you embrace the challenge of competing every day. She knows they're going to a high school program that is going to actually develop their skillsets and teach them the game. That last part is really important because talent and athleticism can get you in a room but coupling that w/ basketball IQ will put you at the podium. A lot of talented high schoolers are elite individual talents, don't really know how to play with other talent, and have star block.(yes you should be thinking about Chennedy Carter right now) Sometimes that talent can propel you forward, but complimenting and better yet elevating the play of those around is the best skill you can have in basketball.
Thinking back to when coach said "Texas girl are are top priority," she meant it. I think she learned at Georgia that with elite talent, which you need to compete in this conference, you have to get in early, grow your relationship with them as they grow their game. I can tell you that Robert Moseley was at an early morning practice when Sydney Bowles was a freshman on a 9-19 team. That kind of commitment is how you get players to change their college destination this late in the process.
These offers aren't so much about those four girls but about getting out into the talent rich areas of east Texas and building relationships with not just players but coaches and grassroots scouts familiar with the area. "Basketball is a relationships game," Joni said in her introductory conference so this is more than their talent.

Which girl?aggiedrjdub said:
I cannot even tell you how many offers this girl has now. Incredible.
Other things to consider:giggitygigem said:
The high school season definitely doesn't carry as much weight as summer ball does when evaluating talent. You learn a different set of characteristics from high school ball. Coaches are more likely to learn the answer to these questions from a players high school
tape: Can they carry a team? elevate the talent around them? beat teams in hard denial defense? Do they hop from high school to high school(even more important now that they can do the same in college)? get frustrated by referees, double teams? High school ball does have some weight for the girls on the top teams nationally that play national schedules i.e. DeSoto.
Another blessing today! Thank you to @CoachJoniTaylor and @TAMUCoachNew for this offer from @AggieWBB! Super excited to receive this!! @MVAGBB @SAFinestbball pic.twitter.com/hp96kwBeTg

Wish Texas Law on NIL was like LA law is for LSU.......every state has there own laws......NCAA can't control this it has to become a federal law so everyone is working on the same plane.aggiedrjdub said:Committed to NILSU
