ND Not On Hannah Gusters' Final 12...

...which she just announced. Those dozen are:
Baylor, Florida State, Houston, Louisville, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Tennessee, UCONN, UCLA, USC.

Five of these are schools based in Texas, so it will be interesting to see who can get Ms. Gusters out of the Lone Star State.

ND had one or two references with Ms. Gusters but that interest was obviously fleeting, whether on one side or another. Initially surprised that Mississippi State was not on the list (they're pretty hot right now), but remembered that Mississippi transfer Promise Taylor will be eligible starting in 2020 when Ms. Gusters is a college frosh.

Will adjust accordingly on the recruiting update. If anything, this solidifies ND's interest in Natalija Marshall.




And perhaps interest in Amari DeBerry in 2021.

Although I imagine there will be ND interest in DeBerry no matter what.
Absolutely. She and Fudd. *

Could academics be an issue?

Just wondering - Duke and Stanford are also missing from that list and none of the others conjure thoughts of the Ivy league
Could Be a Number of Issues....

...as we all know, but MM and staff are pretty adamant about making sure academics are in order before pursuing ND's side of the "mutual interest" equation.

Like you, I did notice who wasn't on that list. Besides ND, Stanford or Duke, I saw Rice -- which certainly has as good a program at this point than city counterpart, Houston -- wasn't on there, either.
