Joyce Isi Etute from Luxembourg....women's hoops!

[Califashorn75]

....is our fifth incoming basketball recruit that Coach Vic has signed for next year and she is very special. She hasn't received a lot of publicity, but I have seen a bunch of film on her. She is big and strong. 6'2", great handle, runs the floor really well, tough rebounder, and a deadly shooter! We are going to love these new recruits!

Texas is also trying to land Sara Okeke, a 6-foot-4 post player from Spain. She's considered an "international five-star recruit," according to ESPN.

She visited last month. 

Top available unsigned recruit.

Wow what a haul that is for Vic and co.  It’s great to see Texas WBB building their program mostly through players that sign with Texas out of high school/internationally and stay in the program for four years.

Yeah this class is insanely deep. They're going to be serious contenders for many years to come.

Crittendon is from Colorado. 

Crittendon, Bjorn and Spaight are all McDonald's All-Americans and each one the Gatorade Player of the Year for their respective states. Joyce Isi Etute is also considered an international 5-star. Holguin is a really strong shooter that scored 61 points in a game earlier this year and was the youngest girl on Kobe's Mamba's AAU team. Most of the girls on the team that weren't involved in the tragedy graduated last year.

Her and Juju are going to be tough.  But we have way more depth so not too concerned.

Their top 6 will be as good as it gets wcbb.

If they get a couple more in the portal, they'll be extremely tough to beat (they already will be even without a couple portal adds).
