With the 2019-20 pre-season starting up soon and the 2019 recruits beginning to flock to Corvallis, the recruiting focus has been shifted to the classes of 2020 and beyond. By this point, a few targets have already chosen elsewhere, but a lot of top talent is still on the board. We have also already had a few five-stars on campus, which is really exciting. The class got off to a great start when one of the top targets, 6-0 guard Sasha Goforth, committed in early June. As has been mentioned here before plenty of times, the 2020 class is going to be a pivotal one in the future of the program. We will lose two big-time contributors in Mikayla and Kat, and Destiny and Aleah will only have one year of eligibility each. Given we will be losing all those talented guards, adding a guard in Goforth was a huge start, and a PG is hopeful. Barring any transfers in or out, the 2020-21 roster will currently have 10 athletes on it without the 2020 class. Given Rueck traditionally likes teams of 11 or 12 players, it seems likely Rueck will look for 1-2 more athletes to round out the class. I borrowed a recruiting chart format I saw on another board, and I decided to put that to use with our current recruiting situation, and here is what I came up with:  It includes positions, heights, rankings (ESPN and Prospects Nation), and other schools of interest. If anyone sees any issues with the chart (formatting or data) please share. Also if anyone has any additional players, since I’m sure there are more, please share. Cannot wait to see what the 2020 class brings after a great 2019 class! Go Beavs!

As a PSA: For anyone who can't read that chart......like me.........just click on the chart and it will enlarge greatly on a separate page.
No need for a magnifying glass!

Thanks beaverwbb fan for the nice spreadsheet summary of 2020 players with an interest in OSU.
I don't know of any others to add at this time. Competition will be incredible for these top gals, especially when you consider UCONN has a strong interest in at least 2 (Beuckers, Van Lith), and they did not get a commit from a true point guard in either 2018 or 2019. But hey, I'd be stoked if OSU even got one these five excellent players!

Great starting list, beaverwbb fan. Obviously the coaches are watching a lot of girls, and a lot of girls are checking out the Beavers, but Beaver recruiting news usually seems to be on the quiet side.
Let me give you one name in particular that you can check out and decide if you think she belongs on your list. Meghan Fiso 5-11 guard, out of West Seattle. Prospects nation has her as their #6 guard, and #36 overall player. Beaver coaches KF, BH, and JC are all following her on twitter (so is M Pivec), and she is following all of them too, as well as following Oregon State WBB,Sydney Weise, and Destiny's Mom.
I think it's pretty obvious the Beavers are looking for a point guard in the 2020 class. We are well aware of Clark, Beuckers, and Van Lith, but a couple others to keep an eye on include Te-Hina Paopao (Prospects Nation #13 overall), and Shelby Calhoun. There is a point guard out of Wisconsin, Leilani Kapinus (#9 overall ESPN), that the coaches are following on twitter, but I'm not aware of mutual interest. As you can see, out of the top 15 or so 2020 girls, close to half are point guards. I think that bolds well for the Beavers, as it would be good to get someone in here to play with Destiny for a year.

I get the feeling Paige and Hailey really would like to play together. They seem to be pretty close friends and call each other "left hand" and "right hand". Paige talks as if she wants to be a combo guard, so maybe they could play together. It's probably too much to ask, but what a haul that would be if the Beavs could land those two along with another wing and a forward.

I too have noticed they follow Leilani Kapinus on twitter and was wondering how serious the interest was. She is another who UConn wants. Despite her being listed as a PG, they want to develop her into the next Gabby Williams (who was a combo-guard out of HS but became a 5 at UConn). She skyrocketed in the rankings over the summer, and she has not reported an OSU offer on twitter but she does seem to tweet out the offer when she receives it.
This is the first I am hearing of Shelby Calhoun. She recently posted a picture with a bunch of logos an OSU was not included. Another is Syndey Parrish, she seems to be a good prospect and is followed by KTBF on twitter, but we weren’t in her bunch of logos. Another guard, Maddie Scherr has hit the west coast frequently, UCLA and tsdtr receiving UVs on back to back weekends.
For some reason, things that happen here with recruiting is often very lowkey. I likely never would have known Goforth and Clark took UVs if it weren’t for BHF (who seems to have contacts close to the program) and Bubba (who is familiar with Goforth personally).
We will likely hear more in the upcoming months, but until we do... GO BEAVS.

In case anyone missed it, there was a post on Beaverblitz regarding coach KF being in Iowa on Monday watching Caitlin Clark. There are so many good guards/wings in the 2020 class. Landing two or three of them to go along with the size of Taylor, Kennedy, and Andrea is going to make Oregon State a top team for years to come.

Really, really hoping that we can get at least one from the trio of Bueckers, Van Lith, and Clark.

Landing two or three of them to go along with the size of Taylor, Kennedy, and Andrea is going to make Oregon State a top team for years to come. Except... recruits don't equal signed... signed doesn't equal ready to contribute at OSU's level immediately. "Top team for years to come"... although the interpretation is variable, you'd think after this years class exhortations on player potential might want to chill some. 1st... let them ACTUALLY sign... 2nd will they actually be ready to play as a frosh or beyond at a level of a "top team". History shows OSU in SR era has had very few impact frosh right out of the gate. It takes time for he and his staff to build/mold players and units (poor analogy, but similar to MR and his scheme). I see no signee, current or future, that breaks that mold. SR and staff are getting very good commits and players, but weird timing now. I see 2022 or maybe 2021 as the start of another deep tourney run. Until then, teams battling for the top 4 of the Pac12, hoping to seed high enough to host. And, wow, nothing wrong with that being the "down" years. But, folks forget, no matter the tape or AAU team, elite/top level D1 WBB is a huge jump from ANY HS level ball. |

I would be thrilled to see the level of contribution from first year Beaver WBB players, year after year, be approximately equal to Corosdale & Goodman last season. Would not have made elite-8 without them. It may be a bit below that this season....maybe equal (or slightly above???) next season. |

Would not have made elite-8 without them. It may be a bit below that this season....maybe equal (or slightly above???) next season. I'll not argue in terms of contributions. It is typically taken as disparaging the players mentioned. But, TC and AG are "role" players, those that every team needs. However, if they were not here it is fair to say SR's history shows he'd have two equally adept players in those spots. So, how far last year's team goes without is pure speculation. I also remember the hype on this board for TC. Unfair and unmet based I what many said, in my opinion. She's not a "game changer" like many in the newer recruits being mentioned. Or in terms of how they are being spoken of here. My point stands, there is no current signee that is playing anywhere near the level of elite D1 ball. They have zero concept until it happens day in, day out. OSU is in a weird spot in terms of timing... the next two years were getting much younger and very suspect/young in the paint. OSU loses Katie, Pivec, Tudor, Grymek, Thropay, Maddie... a ton of D and a ton of experience/been there done that. |

Riiiiigght. If Taya and Aleah weren't here, SR would find "equally adept players" . . . where, exactly?

SR has proven he can get recruits... if it weren't those two it would have been two others. Recruit ranking or not, that staff turns them into players. What? So you think there'd be two empty roster spots? SR would have to have had to offer two below average kids? Laughable and complete speculation to suggest that none of the 100's of other recruits at the same level/ranking "could have" filled those "roles" and that this team wouldn't have advanced as far. But, as I said... always taken as some sort or "attack" on our players. If you don't post with orange goggles here you are seen as "negative". But, thx for nit picking at that part of the post. |
