We may need to move the offer for Tori to the class of 2026 post.

Ahhh...I saw 2024 in her bio and that just refers to her AAU team. Ok, I'll move it.

No problem, Thank You for keeping an eye out for our recruits!

Nice!

Wilke was the first 2024 to pull the trigger on a verbal commit. Maybe there will be more to follow, as in dominos....

Verballed:
Gabby Wilke 6-2 Forward

Offers:
Maggie Taylor 6-2 Forward
Gracie Grzesk 6-0 Wing
Trista Fayta 5-8 PG

I see two scholarships open for this class, assuming we don't add any more 2023 kids.  Right now there are zero Juniors on the team, but several Sophomores are "planning" to use their covid year, based on their sophomore status.  If that changes, it could free up more scholarships for this class.  Or maybe this staff hasn't guaranteed a 5th year scholarship to all of them.  Who knows, really.

Wilke's commitment might have closed the door for some of these offers.  (also, I've updated the matrix thread)

Tori McKinney, 6-1 Guard/Wing
Minnetonka HS, Minnetonka MN
North Tartan AAU
Twitter

-followed by Kayla, Gabby and the USDWBB account.
-No offers listed in her twitter, but she appears to be a top recruit in Minnesota...

*update: Tori is Prep Girls Hoops #4 player in Minnesota, and the highest ranked uncommitted 2024 player!  She likely has a bunch of offers, but doesn't share them on social media.  Will be interesting to see where she ends up...

Sept 2023 update:  Committed to Minnesota 

[90yote]

Grzesk committed to Wisconsin.

Looks like Fayta just committed to Illinois State. She had an offer from them for a year.

I hesitate to list her due to the Michigan State and Butler offers, ... but what the heck.  Has follows from all our coaches

She's #11 in these clips:

Just updated her offer list with her latest four offers.  I see a pattern there with high-academics private schools.  Looks like she isn't limiting herself geographically, either.  If she is looking at master's-level programs, we have a ton of those for a small college.

I really like her film, too.  Very athletic, with great handles.
