It’s here! Fall Signing Day for the 2010 Women’s Basketball Recruiting Class! Seems like the 2010 Class was done so long ago. Most schools have had the 2010 class completed for over a year and have been working away on the 2011 and 2012 classes. Once you get ahead… stay ahead!
Many think this is not as strong a class as some in the past. True, there may not be a plethora of studs… but there are many, many good players that will help teams across the country.
The formula I used is not that scientific.
ABR Top Ten Formula: Assigned point values for each prospect signed, added by total number of signees, then divide out the number for an average so the smaller classes aren’t over-looked. In the event of a tie – I let them be ties.
A great job of recruiting, evaluating and signing by this group of coaches, their staff’s and of course the players on each of the teams who hosted these prospects on their visits.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!
Here it is, my final rankings for the 2010 Women’s Basketball Recruiting Class:

Over the past two weeks there has been less content on our ABR site. My apologies. I have been preparing the ABR ACC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW.
Each pre-season I found it helpful to write a one-page Pre-Season Opponent Overview. I always felt it helped with early season practices and planning for what we might see.
Here is an example: PRE-SEASON OPPONENT OVERVIEW
With that in mind, and now that everyone is about two weeks into practice, I wanted to provide you with the ABR ACC Women’s Basketball Preview.
The intent is to summarize the 2008-09 season and forecast somethings to expect for 2009-10.
I’d welcome your feedback.
Enjoy…

The other day upon learning that Dee Liles was no longer a member of the University of Maryland Women’s Basketball team I wrote, Wow how things have changed in College Park since raising a banner in 2006. Little did we know how wrong I was. No, the Dee Liles part is accurate, but the Terps roster is a monster, again, for 2010-11. No disrespect to the 2009-10 roster. It’s good, but relatively unknown and unproven outside of Lynetta Kizer. The past four years with Langhorne, Harper, Coleman, Toliver & company, playing the Terps was like looking forward to a root canel. Those days appear to be on the horizon again.
Brenda Frese
Three years ago I saw Coach Frese at the Final Fout as we talked she said her passion… to bring the best players in the world to the University of Maryland. Mission accomplished, again… Maryland is the only school in the country to currently have five top 100 players in their 2010 recruiting class. Louisville, Boston College, Oklahoma and Duke each have three.
The ACC has historically attracted the Nation’s top student-athletes and recruiting classes. North Carolina ranked #2 in 2009 and our Virginia recruiting class for 2009 contained 5 Top 100 players and ranked among the top 5 classes in the Nation.
2009 Recruiting Class National Ranking
The five top 100 players so far at Maryland — Alyssa Thomas (No. 5), Bays (No. 15), Laurin Mincey (No. 19), Alicia DeVaughn (No. 59) and Natasha Cloud (No. 98). There are 14 scholarships committed for 2010-11, leaving one more… fasten your seat belts, this class could get even better.
Maryland isn’t the only ACC school bidding for the top recruiting ranking.
Two other ACC programs join Maryland in the chase for the Nation’s best 2010 class. Those schools include Duke – no surprise there and Boston College. Yes, Boston College. Second-year coach Sylvia Crawley
Sylvia Crawley
continues to point Boston College toward an upward swing and possibly the upper echelon of the ACC with a class of No. 10 Kristen Doherty, No. 62 Katie Zenevitch, and No. 94 point guard Tiffany Ruffin.
Joanne P. McCallie
In Durham Coach Joanne P. McCallie and the Blue Devils staff have assembled another tremendous class. #5. Chelsea Gray, 5-10 PG, Saint Marys H.S. (CA), 18. Haley Peters, 6-3 F, The Peddie School (NJ), 35. Tricia Liston, 6-0 W, Fenwick H.S. (IL), and UR. Clair Watkins, 6-4 P, Butler H.S.
Louisville hasn’t rested on it’s trip to the National championship game. Coach
Jeff Walz
Jeff Walz and staff have used it to secure three top 100 players for 2010: #18 Charmaine Tay PG 5′10″, #42 Antonita Slaughter W 6′1″, #55 Sheronne Vails P 6′4″. The Cardinals are not done recruiting yet, so don’t be surprised if they try to steal that top spot from Maryland after the November signing period is over.
Oklahoma, has three Top 100 ranked players among its five-player class.
Sherri Coale
They include No. 41. Jacqueline Jeffcoat, No. 49. Aaryn Ellenberg, and No. 80. Nicole Griffen. This class should help keep the Sooners where they are used to being in the Big 12.
It’s early for rankings and predictions for the 2010 class, but predictions and rankings are always fun.
Coming soon… a 2009 – 10 ACC Season Preview and Breakdown.
Rankings derived from HoopGurlz, Blue Star Report, Collegiate Girls Basketball Report and individual evaluations.

It is always aggravating to have to go searching all over for college basketball schedules. Here it is, one-stop-shopping. Several NCAA Division I Men’s College basketball conference schedule links. Many of the conferences have not yet release their schedule, as noted. Links provided should get you there at a later date. Video Coordinators plan away! Fans get the snacks, cold drinks and recliners ready! Bring on October 15th!
