    Continuing a trend that started with the 2025 recruiting class, the Aggie WBB staff is putting together another BIG group. So far:

    Anna Basset, 6'0" W - Brisbane Australia
    Layla Dixon, 6'0" W - Concord, CA (Carondelet HS) - EBAL Defensive Player Of The Year as a junior
    Taylor Hicks, 6'0" G/W - Hutto, TX (Hutto HS)
    Marta Forsline 6'3" F - Aurora, MN (Mesabi East HS) - #12 scorer / #9 rebounder in MN as a junior

    Along with last year's group (Carrington Davis, 5'10 G; Sophie Lentfer 6'0" W & Emmy Ersdala 6'1" F), Jen Gross and her staff are constructing a taller roster. And more national recruiting.

    Having a larger staff probably a factor in the evolution in recruiting.

    Traditionally, Jen Gross has announced signings during the Fall signing period, which this year is 11/12-18. Usually the first day "National Signing Day" is when most commits sign financial aid agreements, usually with some hoopla at their high schools. That's as binding as it gets, though students can ask to be released.

    I initially get information on commits at WBB Blog (https://wbbblog.com) which is usually pretty accurate, The I check the social media for the player. Currently, Basset, Dixon and Hicks have announced on their Instagram pages, so they seem pretty solid.

    Forsline has not, though she apparently only committed on 9/24, and she also plays volleyball at Mesabi East HS, so may just be too busy. She doesn't seem to be particularly active on social media. There is a post on X from her AAU coach congratulating her on her commitment to UCD. Looking at the schools that she's posted offers from, UCD and the MW Conference are the most prestigious. From watching her highlight on Hudl, Forsline seems something of a "project", despite her stats. But so was Morgan Bertsch, who redshirted as a freshman. So not necessarily a bad thing.

    Marta Forsline has posted her commitment on her Instagram site, so she also looks pretty solid.
