Incoming Recruiting Class
All-Star Girls Report 2008 recruiting class ranking: 53
Coach Bonnie Henrickson is slowly building the Jayhawks’ talent pool while finding a delicate balance between post recruits and perimeter players. Kansas’ only substantial loss will be the departure of senior forward Taylor McIntosh, who started nearly every game of her career under Henrickson. If sophomore forward Porscha Weddington can’t build on some solid late season performances next season, the Jayhawks’ two freshman bigs may be called into action early. Either way, Henrickson is starting to accumulate the talent necessary to continue improving year to year.
Henrickson’s take
“I think the three of those fit in the piece of the puzzle we’re trying to complete. It ranks right up there with our sophomore class now, including Danielle (McCray) and Sade (Morris). They’re a little bit different because we’ll have a big kid inside and a true point guard, so they’re comparable, but they’re different positions.”
