Looks like JD was at the game when she broke the 2 school records. Apparently JD's kid made a sign for Kennedy, she posted a picture of her with JD's son and his poster.
 

Anybody have any connections in Quincy, Quincy High has a couple of D1 recruits, one of them Jada Brown was just named the player of the Year in the Western Big 6, she is a Junior and holds an offer from WIU. Any chance they can land her. I have a feeling her recruiting will pick up and some bigger schools, like MAC or MVC schools will start offering her.

Also is A-town still alive in the playoffs or did they lose this week?

I see Kennedy tweeted she was offered by WIU, I would love to see her as a Leatherneck but afraid some bigger schools will eventually come after. Might have to get a NIL deal together for her lol

 

Figured it was coming but I see Kennedy has tweeted that Oakland and DePaul have both offered her within the past week or so.

I don't think Oakland is any more attractive than we are, from a basketball perspective. Their last season over .500 was 2016-17, and the Horizon League (at least this last year) was ranked slightly lower than the OVC for women's basketball (22nd vs the OVC's 21st as ranked by Warren Nolan).

DePaul has had similar "success", with their last winning season being 2021-22. They do play in the much tougher Big East conference (currently ranked the 5th toughest women's basketball conference by Warren Nolan), including annual matchups with UConn.

In terms of NIL money, DePaul can probably steamroll us. Oakland might be a little better than us, but probably not by a huge amount.
Another aspect is whether she wants to be in an urban/city environment (DePaul in Chicago), suburban (Oakland in the northern suburbs of Detroit), or a rural environment (Macomb).

I don't know how the other schools would rank for playing time, but she'd probably get a decent amount at Western, given we lost nearly all of our experienced players after last year due to mostly graduation.
