Also need to keep in mind if we lose any players in the off season. I would not be surprised if 1 or 2 players transfer.

Rebekah Dahlman:

Braham's Rebekah Dahlman is the Pioneer Press girls basketball player of the year - TwinCities.com

Next to a computer is a chart of 20 schools, listed alphabetically, with the NCAA Division I programs that have offered her scholarships.
They are: Baylor, Boston College, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas State, Marquette, Miami, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina State, Purdue, Rutgers, San Diego, San Francisco, Vanderbilt, Vermont and Virginia Tech.

...

Dahlman said she will take her five official recruiting visits in the fall and will decide promptly.
Dahlman broke the all-time MN GBB scoring record in her final game this season, a first-round state tournament loss. And she still has one season left. That was the record Megan Taylor held at one time, although it's been broken a few times since.

Yes, her scoring average of 35.7 points per game puts her on pace to break the state girls scoring record this week at the state tournament, but she also averages 11.3 rebounds, 7.0 steals and 5.2 assists per game.

That is an impressive list of offers. No doubt we may see it grow too as other elites like to "sweep" in like Pat, Geno, and Tara do at the end of recruiting processes.

Sad enough we have had to contend with Coale recruiting from our part of the country, to now have Mulkey up here too. Mulkey as BF does, has a good eye for point guards. Guess we hit their regions, so turnabout is fair play, I guess. :)

Other likely 2013 targets from various sources:Kelsey Lang (The Woodlands, TX)

I doubt we will land Kelsey Lang, but I have been following her with interest.

Lang is picking up interest and some have likened her to a budding Jayne Appel (Jayne - remember her and her 46 point outburst against us? Lang has a long way to go to live up to Appel - a McDonald's All-American as a senior and named MVP of the All-American game. She was named Gatorade State Player of the Year (CA) in basketball, rated as the 3rd best in the high school class of 2006.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Appel#cite_note-allamericans-0)

For 2012 Lang was on the second team All District, considered a Top 100 player nationally by rating services and a top 2013 player from Texas. Colorado has been recruiting her and Baylor (though fans think she is too short after Griner's success).

Kelsey scored 14 ppg, 4 blocks, 2 steals and 8 rebounds in a tough conference this season and is listed at 6'5 by her coach.
Overall her Highlander team went 32-3-0 and in league 12-0-0. Kelsey's team's National Rank is 63 and in TX State tenth.

I think it is a bigger deal that her AAU coach was just hired as an assistant at Texas. Following the Kim Mulkey model.

Ugh... though TX is getting decommits too one yesterday I believe. Gail was more after our style of player, so be curious to see where it all shakes out. Not liking the negative aspects of AAU emerging in WBB.

Lang just verballed Texas.


Lang would have been a good one. We need Robinson then. Taylor, I actually believe, has more room for growth, may be stronger (she a winning shot putter for Ladue) and with claims of Taylor being 6'4" puts her in the same size range. She led her conference in scoring:

STL High School Sports | Sport Stats | Basketball - Girls
Robinson seems to have eliminated Bollant's Illini from her list.
