Still a Lot of Top Players "Out There."

Leilani Kapinus at #18 caught my eye. She seemed to be a

strong, versatile guard at PSU who would add some depth to the ND backcourt. She is from Wisconsin and seemed to have some mutual interest with ND when she was in high school.

Was Mutual Interest. Irish Coaches Visited Her. Kieger...

...then was at Marquette and was big-time on recruiting her and persuaded her to come east when she took the PSU job.

Not a great jump shooter by any means, but solid defender, rebounder who rns the court well.

She's also 5'10", so decent hight for a guard. *

Yes I remember her *

One of the Prep Girls Hoops writers

Posted the following this morning:

"Could be something. Could be nothing.

But I think it may be worth noting that some of Timea Gardiner’s most recent followed people on IG include Niele Ivey, Olivia Miles & Sonia Citron…"

Now you have me excited! That would be a big catch. *

That would be beyond great, a longterm

and mature decision by her. Hope it passes.

Gardiner Would Be a Two-Year Advantage....

She could play with Maddy and Kate Koval, then once Maddy moves up to the pros, be there with Kate while --- hopefully -- Niele is bringing in a young forward like Leah Macy or Madison Francis to man the position after her.

Exactly!! *

Gardiner was a teammate of Citron and Miles in 2019 on the

USA U-16 team.

Sounding even more like a possibility. *

That would be fabulous. *

One from 5, 8, or 18 and one from 10 or 20 plus one from

1, 13 & 16. Greed has no bounds!

Realistically I’m looking at 10,16, or 20 but

hoping for a “miracle”, 1 or 13.

Wouldn't HVL look good in an Irish uniform?

Just want to see if you guys are awake

HVL is likely headed to TCU, I never would of guessed that. (link)

Think TCU Coach Campbell Recruited Her While at Oregon

Many people think Oregon's glory years were just as due to Campbell (as Graves), but -- having said that -- there are a lot of former PAC 12 players on that roster.

If she can learn to pick and roll with Sedona Prince, it could help HVL get somewhat ready to go for some form of a pro career.

Can't tell in your headline if you were kidding or not....

can't tell if I'm kidding?

I blame Davie

Me Too! *

You sure had me scratching my head on that one. *

Nah,that was me and I did not know HVL close with TCU coach *

She could backup both Miles & Hidalgo

And get a ND degree

Do we want her that near to Miles again? *

Aaliyah Nye is in the portal now

She is from Michigan, so may be willing to move closer to home. Good size, great shooter, can drive to the basket. She checks a lot of boxes for what we're looking for in a guard to replace Anna and KK. No idea if she would be willing to come if she won't start, but worth a call.

Has Some ;Soni Attributes. Can Certainly Shoot the 3.

Wonder if ND coaching staff would think "that's what Emma is for": tall guard/wing. Then again, how is Emma's recovery going.

Good find....

Nice find. *

Is Kailin Gilbert related to former Notre Dame Kaitlyn (sp?)

Gilbert? Thanks for that list. Hoping for a pleasant surprise or two or three.

No. *

But she does have a sister that plays somewhere right? *

1, 2 or 13. 6, 7 and 15 need not apply. *

6,7 or 15 would make a nice backup

For both Olivia & Hannah

Plus get a ND degree
Win-Win

6 and 15 would not be good for team chemistry. *

6 and 15 are noted for their poor shot selection, so I'll

pass on them.

I'd be surprised if there was any mutual interest between HVL and ND.

Absolutely agree

Any one of 1,2,or13 would be terrific two of those does not seem possible based on playing time Then add in 3 or 10 or 14 That would be ideal
