Women's Basketball Recruiting: 2021 5-Star G Payton Verhulst is monster target for Oregon State

It's no secret that 2021 5-Star G Payton Verhulst is one of the best players in the nation, and as the country's top programs have lined up to recruit her, one stands out: Oregon State.

Coach Scott Rueck and his staff have bent over backward to make Payton a priority. A star at Bishop Miege High School (KS), Verhulst has seen the OSU coaches in time after time.

With that said, OSU has competition for her services. The Beavers are joined by UConn, Stanford, Oregon, Tennessee, Louisville, Arizona State, Notre Dame, and Missouri in her top nine list.

It is hard to predict where Verhulst is headed or when a decision will be made, but one thing is for sure, OSU is in tremendous shape. Payton is very close with Beavers freshman Kennedy Brown and 2020 signee Sashsa Goforth. The latter is already starting to recruit her: "Oregon State will for sure be one of the schools I want to keep moving forward with. At least one coach has been at just about every game, even in Chile. In Chicago, the entire coaching staff was watching a few of my games. And yes, Sasha is recruiting me!"

NCAAM: 2022 5-Star SF Emoni Bates commits to Michigan State

2022 5-Star SF Emoni Bates has committed to Michigan State. Bates is the No. 1 ranked player in the HoopsCentral50 and is a huge pickup for Tom Izzo and staff. With Bates set to graduate high school in the summer of 2022, he could have a chance to jump straight to the NBA if the one-and-done rule is gone by then. Bates is super versatile at 6'7, and looks like a smaller version of Kevin Durant, with his ability to rise over defenders on his jumpers, drive and defend with his length. Bates held other offers from Kentucky, Michigan, Florida State and DePaul.
