At last night’s Titan Club dinner, Coach Achter gave a thorough recruiting update. She said she was able to announce three signees: Kamari Forrest (5-10, Saginaw HS), Makayla Jackson (5-9, Bullis School, MD), and Paris Gilmore (5-6, Warrensville Heights HS, OH). Two additional commitments should be ready to be announced soon, one from the portal (a former Ms Michigan Basketball), the other an international player from Finland. They might still sign an additional couple players from the portal. Four women from last year’s team have entered the portal, I got the sense that those players were not projected to get much playing time as the overall talent level of the roster improves. At least four players from the WBB team were in attendance at the dinner, including Hooper, Murua, and Porta.

The previous four Ms Basketball recipients are all from Detroit Edison. They are currently enrolled at Michigan State, Clemson and Tennessee. None are benchwarmers…several are 9ppg types and one (Tennessee) is an absolute star. Add to the HS signees and it appears Coack Kate and staff are working hard🏀

We have a dozen scholarship players on the roster. Someone posted that women's bb allows for 15 scholarships, so these three fill out the roster unless someone leaves. I did read, I think, that two of the current players are in the portal.

All three are guards (one a swing guard-forward), which is what we need. I hope one or two of them can hit from distance, as that killed us early in the season.

Imani McNeal returning for her 5th year of eligibility. Don't know if she was in the transfer portal. She was never in the portal. She is a popular team member and will set a good example for what is expected for the new players.

Imani McNeal returning for her 5th year of eligibility. Don't know if she was in the transfer portal. I’m wondering what this announcement is for? It was announced 3-4 weeks ago that Inani was coming back for her fifth year.

Several weeks ago, I identified our recruit as a Detroit Edison product. That is because I only went back four years. Jaida Hampton was the 2018 award winner for Miss Michigan basketball. After a solid freshman yr at Wichita, she has had unproductive seasons at Wichita and SIUE due to injuries and illness.I have seen HS videos from East Lansing..she was quite the player.

Coach announced at last week’s dinner that four players are in the portal. We now have 5 in the portal Chimbequa, Baker, Blount, Garcia and Loren’s. Baker and Blount were in last year. I think these transfers are good for all. Let’s hope they catch on somewhere and graduate.
