Fully expected this to be WD. He's the king of non-revenue sports posts. Way to beat him to it...also, this is awesome. Always great to get a top 50 prospect.

So much so I was going to post the same thing but you Mr Abel, like the OP to WD, beat me to it.
November 9th, 2016 at 1:37 PM ^
I thought "Oh WD for sure" and then I thought "if I can figure out who wrote the post without looking at it, maybe I spend too much time on this site".
And then I was wrong, so I guess I don't spend too much time on here.

Beilein, could you not even have her for an official before she committed elsewhere?!
November 9th, 2016 at 11:27 AM ^
Go Blue!!!
November 9th, 2016 at 11:27 AM ^
Go Blue, ehh!

She signed her LOI today. A big pickup for KBA.

5 Star! Great pick up. Looks like Coach has the WBB program moving in the right direction. Hopefully NCAA appearances become a regular thing for the WBB program.

Stupid question - Why does ESPN call it "girls" basketball in the URL link and not "womens" basketball? I can't imagine them calling it "boys" basketball. Ok, I'll remove my semantic police hat now...

Sure, bring reason into it why don't you! That makes more sense.
November 9th, 2016 at 11:56 AM ^

November 9th, 2016 at 12:04 PM ^
KBA should recruit for Beilein.

Boogie Brozoski
Katelynn Flaherty
Kysre Gondrezick
Hailey Brown
Hallie Thome
If this isn't their year, hopefully next year is.

She committed awhile ago.

Also signing with Michigan yesterday was 5-9 guard Deja Church, out of Southfield High A&T, one of the top in-state players in the 2017 class. Some recruiting services (not espn) have her in their top 100 (Blue Star has her at #70). She was originally committed to Minnesota but then switched to the Wolverines a couple of weeks ago; her reason for the switch is covered in this article. She's the second in-state player Kim Barnes Arico has landed, following Kysre Gondrezick.
One note on Hailey Brown: This isn't to take anything away from the importance of her signing with Michigan, but espn always assigns five stars to way too many WBB players. They have their top 52 players all as five stars. This is a running joke in WBB circles. In MBB, espn has just their top 25 as five stars. So in a reasonable ranking system, Hailey Brown would be a high four star.
