as of 2/11/2026 (which is progressively down from her high of #29 on 2/26/2025) Ginny Anne Dumont 247 Profile. Not on the SportsCenter NEXT - Super 60 so maybe not UCLA caliber.
On the flip side our current 2026-27 roster only has Sophs S. Betts F/C, Bilic W/G, Karamouzi G, R-Jr Muse F/C, and hopefully Gr Gardiner F. We bring in ONE international recruit in Spanish G (hopefully a point) Somto Okafor and ZERO other recruits. Coach Close has said she hopes to bring in 5 transfers in the portal but has not said what class they would be in. Even if all are underclass that leaves 5 open rides (Gardiner gone, 4 unused of 15) for 2027.
So accepting a verbal from a 2027 CG which should not effect our recruitment of PG #1 Kaleena Smith or #9 SG Sydney Savoury seems prudent. Especially since we offered maybe a quarter of the 2026 class in the 2026 SportsCenter NEXT 100 (including all of the top 14) and got ZERO.
