C Kamilla Cardosa
Hamilton Heights, Chattanooga, Tennessee
espnW HoopGurlz rank: 5
In the mix: Mississippi State, Ohio State, South Carolina, Syracuse
The top-ranked center in the nation by way of Brazil is at a crossroads. Having already visited Mississippi State and Ohio State, Cardosa still needs a test score to become eligible to compete on the big stage. Her remaining visits include Syracuse on the weekend of Oct. 18 and South Carolina on the weekend of Oct. 25. The stakes are high for those seeking her talents.
And yes, she is as talented as any other post player in recent memory. With her 6-6 frame, she patrols the lane, swats shots, dominates with her feathery touch in the paint and has the ability to run the floor better than most guards. There are prospects who emerge only once every so often with Cardosa's skill set.
Prediction: Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are in the mix each year for an NCAA title and have success recruiting those players from the South. It also helps that Madison Hayes (espnW HoopGurlz No. 29), Cardosa's travel ball teammate, is also committed to Mississippi State. Cardosa immediately falls into head coach Vic Schaefer's game plan and defensive scheme. She is a more skilled high school prospect than another Mississippi State great, Teaira McCowan.
PG Sarah Andrews
MacArthur, Irving, Texas
espnW HoopGurlz rank: 7
In the mix: Florida State, Texas, Mississippi State, Louisville, Baylor
In a class of high-end point guards, Andrews is battle tested. She's fought through a wrist injury and hasn't missed a beat. She has big-time range from deep, the ability to deliver off the bounce and consistently make pinpoint passes. Andrews is right at the top of the class for best guard.
She has already visited Florida State, Texas and Mississippi State, and she has visits at Louisville and Baylor lined up for Oct. 17 and Oct. 31, respectively. "I'll make my decision on Nov. 13, maybe the Wednesday before," she said.
"My relationship with the head coach is important, and being a part of a family is key to my decision," she added. "Each team I am visiting needs a point guard, too. So, I want to play early, compete and win at a high level. And I want that coach to make me a better person."
Prediction: Baylor. Andrews is Texas born and bred, and her teammate, Hannah Gusters (espnW HoopGurlz No. 9), is already committed to the defending champion Lady Bears.
