Will be a freshman this year (class of '27). Plays forward/center for class 7A Thompson High School in Alabama. Has offers that include Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Auburn. Doesn't appear to have a Vandy offer yet, or at least she doesn't say so. Has a 4.0 GPA.
Oh, and she's 6'7. You read that right.

Re: Jayla Forbes Visits
Mike, (1) Can players ask for an offer, or let a team know they are interested? (2) Has Shea offered anyone past '24 or '25? (3) I believe coaches can rescind offers. And since commitments from players can change in a second, how does a team have any idea who is going to be here and who is not. Completely ignoring the transfer portal. (The same with recruits.) Even as soon as fall of '24? I assume this fall is locked up.
Thanks. I've been following VU WBB since '91, and apparently know... well, not much.

Thompson has probably the strongest HS football program in Alabama right now. I know noting about thier hoops prgrams for either gender, but it is strong.

Re: Jayla Forbes Visits
Thompson, one of Hoover’s arch-rivals, is indeed the top football program in the state. Their boys bb team is good, but not elite. Their girls bb team has been sub-par for as long as I can remember. Will be interesting to see what impact Forbes will make. My guess is a lot.
