Thread: '14 CO PG Mikayla Reese (WBB) (Verbal to Oklahoma State)

  1. #16
    Coach Lappe has stated she will bring in kids or try to anyway bring in kids who will turn down top BCS schools to come to CU. She's on the right track and has a bead on the top kids not only in region but across the country.

    OK, I was just able to get some info on Mikayla. The schools listed above are only the ones that I can confirm, but reportedly most of the Pac-12, Big 10 and Big 12 are looking around (if not offered already) along with national powers Baylor, Maryland, Notre Dame and Tennessee all showing some HEAVY interest.

    The good news? CU is in a good position. It's a long battle, and it won't be easy, but they have been letting Mikayla know how important they consider her to the program and how much they want her to stay in state. Lappe & her staff have decided that they want to do what many coaches have attempted to do and close the borders. The difference is that with Lappe it's not just talk.

    Mikayla could be a HUGE national recruit in 2014, and hopefully CU will be able to land her.

    Lappe and staff continue to do a very nice job on the recruiting trail.

    Mikayla would look good in black & gold.

Lappe is determined to put a fence around the state for BCS kids and her confidence is attractive to prospects in state and out.
    Ceal's highest ranked teams in the early 90's had very little in state talent in the starting 5. Erin came along at the end of those teams. I think Hartshorn and Roulier were right after those teams. Ceal was unfortunately the victim of negative recruiting by the coach of the Colorado Hoopsters, Rick Lopez. Supposedly he told his players (Jamie Carey, Abby Waner, etc) not to go to CU. Lopez was later accused of sexual impropriety with some of his players and committed suicide before his trial.

    I would love to see Mikalya as a Buff and I hope Lappe can land her.

    IMO, with the kind of record CSU has this year, going there would be a big mistake.

    Doubtful. But I can confirm they offered, so I listed them.

    HoopGurlz:

    Reese visits in-state
    In previous recruiting classes, the talent pool in the state of Colorado has been thin at best. While the state typically produces one or two top 100 caliber players, there is a certain lack of depth in the state talent-wise. As a result, for a school like the University of Colorado, keeping the quality talent at home becomes paramount for a staff as they attempt to succeed on a national scale in a conference like the Pac-12.

    This week Colorado made a step in this direction when they scored an unofficial visit from Mikayla Reese from Sand Creek (Colorado Springs, Colo.). Reese is one of the better prospects in the state of Colorado from the class of 2014 and keeping her home would be a big deal for one of the Pac-12's newest programs.
