Seems like there are several highly ranked players available due to post-signing decommits (school release due to coaching change or controversy) or transfers (mainly coaching controversy). Kentucky in particular has lost 8 current or future players since this fall in what looks like a LaVonda-like exodus situation. A lot of these players may pull back into a safe/comfortable close to home situation, but others are probably looking for a top team to join. Wonder if Rueck is looking at any of these kids. A few listed below.
Mi'Cole Cayton, 5’9” guard (St Mary’s HS, Stockton) #80 national ranking, former Nebraska commit
Chatrice White, 6’3” sophomore center (Illinois transfer – leading scorer and rebounder, originally from Nebraska). McD All American
Lindsey Corsaro, 6 ft guard, #35 ranking and McD All American (from Indianapolis), former Kentucky commit
Batouly Camara, 6’2” freshman forward (Kentucky transfer, originally from NY NY)
The proven 6'3" center from Illinois would be nice. Cayton, from Kat Tudor's hs (and Ali Gibson), would seem logical given the connection. This is where the Ionescu "wait and see" becomes troublesome. Do you take one of these girls and end up with a 6 person class if Ionescu shows, which seems pretty heavy for one class. If you take a guard and then Ionescu joins, are you too guard heavy? Incidentally, if Ionescu goes schmuck I think they will have a class of 7 - talk about unbalanced.
