Monday Thoughts: Basketball recruiting never ends, does it?

Related Topics: Connie Yori, Basketball

I mentioned Mi'Cole Cayton as a critical target when discussing Gabby Green's surprising transfer. Cayton was only available because she was released from her commitment to Nebraska after head coach Connie Yori 'resigned' due to an investigation into alleged player mistreatment. Unexpectedly, a Northern California 4 star guard needed a new school at the same time the Bears needed a guard. Talk about a perfect marriage of circumstance! She committed and signed last week, and quite possibly might jump directly into Cal's starting lineup to replace Gabby Green.

Cayton is ranked in or near to the top 100 by the various recruiting services, and her scouting report very much fits with what you typically read about a Cal WBB recruit:

Athletic combo-guard with flamboyant persona delivers in uptempo, pressure game; active in passing lanes, converts from turnovers; handles and attacks in transition game; penetrates and finishes complemented by mid-range game creativity to the arc.
