So............IU presently has 2 highly recruited ladies in the '27 class. I watched their highlight film and here are my thoughts:
--Finley Parker, 6'3", from Georgia......Rated #26 on 247 & #53 on ESPN last I saw.....Looks like she has a very nice outside shot but is more naturally aggressive around the basket than was Makalusky coming into this year. Looks like a very skilled player...shooting from distance, shooting with either hand closer to the basket, handling the ball....but definitely not a center/pivot player.....probably just average pure athletic ability for someone rated that high.
--Brookeslee Colvin, 5'8", from Idaho.....Rated #24 on ESPN....Another girl that appears to have only average athleticism for a recruit ranked so high....definitely not a blazer and looks like a combo guard v. a pure point guard to me....Saw no shooting stats for her but looks like she has a very pure outside shot. Looked to be naturally aggressive offensively & especially defensively. Can shoot from distance and also take it to the basket. Described by her HS coach with 25 years experience as the hardest worker he's ever coached.
This is based on brief highlights of both players, so I'd be interested in other's thoughts, whether similar or differing.......
Good review, thnx. Colvin is sneaky quick to the bucket & handles the ball well:)
Is is safe to presume stars matter much more in women's basketball recruiting?
So getting two borderline five stars is great trajectory for the program.
Got to play them though for Moren, mistakes and all, to continue getting the higher caliber ballers.

So now Azy Jackson, a 6'4" athlete out of Washington state, now recovering from an acl. Rated as a #20 5* by ESPN.
So......is all this success related to the new recruiter, or has nil been significantly increased?

I certainly have no idea but it seems likely it is the recruiting coordinator. The timing of that change fits.
