We're making some 2027 offers so I want to track them here.

Krieger would be a great fit. And this list is consistent with something Coach Rous has said which is that he really likes length throughout the line-up. Anderson is an average guard (height wise) but the others are big and potential wing players or high post players that we can play through and/or play 5 out with.
 
Moser can really shoot it. Not super athletic but makes up for that somewhat by playing very crafty and with high basketball IQ. She should at a minimum get on the floor for her shooting and could be a big piece if she can improve her athleticism enough to be maybe a little above avg defensively. Ready as a shooter and specialist role player as early as arrival but will need time and work o become more!
 
And I missed Stambaugh. Haven't seen her much (like maybe 6-8 minutes live) but know some folks who do. She is a big guard/wing. Fits Coach Rous desire for length wherever possible. Don't think she has the handle or the lateral quickness yet to be a guard at our level, but she can probably handle the wing defensively in a lot of games and has time to hone those other skills. She can shoot it a bit and you can't coach height!

Solid signing. Have seen her a bit since the original offer. More of a tall wing type than a 4/5 type at 6'2. Not super physical. She is more skilled than purely athletic which is I think the sweet spot for us in recruiting. Reminds me probably of Camden some but maybe a bit more of a pure wing at this point. Different player and size than Perischetti who I would have also described as more skilled than athletic and as a result I wasn't sure how ready she would be to help from Day 1. But Ava is clearly ready which tells me Stambaugh may be able to help early on (which we will need next year given the losses after this year).
 
Yet another sign of Roussell still being fully focused on UR...just made an offer to 2027 El-Anita Joe-Samuel out of Lenape HS in South Jersey. I see offers last summer and fall from DePaul, Navy, Hofstra, Monmouth, Buffalo, Stony Brook, Towson, NJIT, and New Hampshire. She lists herself as a PG on her Twitter profile, but I see at least one recruiting site calling her a 6'0" SF.

 
This is where a new coach can make or break there whole tenure in the first 30 days on the job! Job 1 for Kresge is to keep the already signed recruits. This is less important if you are taking over a program with a major rebuild and the recruits may not be what you really need to turn things around, but when taking over a successful program like ours, you can't lose much without it being a big set back. She should be working all the recruits hard right now. In many ways, harder than the current roster or the portal!
