I think she already has a Nebraska offer. I think she’ll garner more. From what I hear it’s a high likelihood she goes out of state somewhere. Would be nice if we could get her but it’s obviously a very USD family so I think we’re facing an uphill recruiting battle with her. With the way things are in Vermilllion, I can’t see her sticking around to go there either. Lots of talent and potential so I’m sure bigger schools yet will come knocking.

She’s young. A lot of recruiting left ahead of her. All we can do is the best we can and if it is supposed to be it will be. I hope she stays healthy so I can enjoy a full 3 more years of watching her in Wagner.

You’re right, Wagner is a very talented team with lots of size. Their only weakness seems to be depth, as they only went 6 deep in tight games. FWIW, I do know that 3 of those 6 transferred to Wagner in the past few years. I think Vasecka is the better player now, but Koupal definitely has the potential to surpass her. Would be really fun to see them play together.
Overall, it was a decent tournament for the SDSU commits. SF Jefferson (Dunn) finished 3rd, O’Gorman (Abdouch) finished 5th, and Flandreau (Sheppard) finished 6th. Here are the stats for the weekend. Splits are FG%/3P%/FT% PTS/REB/AS/BL/ST for reference
Jaidyn Dunn (2024 commit) - 76.5%/0.0%/66.7%; 10.67/10.3/1.0/6.0/1.33
Mahli Abdouch (2024 commit) - 45.7%/28.6%/72.7%; 14.67/2.67/4.0/1.33/3.67
Claire Sheppard (2024 commit) - 25.5%/26.67%/70.59%; 13.33/6.33/0.67/0/1.0
Ashlyn Koupal (2026 SDSU offer) - 57.58%/53.85%/69.2%; 21.0/5.0/0.67/0/0.67
Olivia Kieffer (USD commit) - 37.1%/14.3%/72.7%; 24.33/5.33/0.33/0.0/2.33
Mallory Miller (Arizona commit) - 42.5%/42.9%/58.3%; 16.67/13.33/3/0.0/0.0
Sadie Mehrman (2026 UND/UST offers) - 34.8%/57.1%/71.4%; 10.0/0.67/0.67/0/0.67
regarding depth, from what i saw they were very comfortable with their top 6. in the final game Hamlin played their starting 5 the entire game, except the last 2 minutes give or take when their starting PF simultaneously fouled out and got injured
regarding my previous comment Wagner has 3 starters 5'11 or more. they also have 2 more 6' on the roster but they did not play that i saw, although 1 is an 8th grader. there will be openings for PT next year as 3 starters graduate. would seem like the 6th girl who played a lot in the tournament (hit three 3s in the final last night) probably takes one of those spots
they never said anything about where the Nagel girl would play or if she would play beyond high school. i did not see anything that said she would be a D1 player, but i thought she was one of the other best players I saw this weekend and i DEFINITELY think she should be playing somewhere next year
regarding comparison of A Koupal and Vasecka, to be clear, I did not say Koupal was the best player in the state. i said i thought she was the best player playing this weekend.

that said happy for Hamlin and Coach Koisti to get to the top tonight. worked together with him in my earlier coaching days and always found him to be a really good guy!. they have been close a lot, happy they finally got it done. dont think they were the most talented team but they played well together, played good defense, and got some clutch shooting
Wagner had a LOT of talent for a class A team. i am pretty sure they had 4 starters 5'11 or taller, for sure 3. i think solid chance they are a tournament team even without Ashlyn, but tonight i would have liked their chances more if they would have let her takeover the game. i am sure Hamlin has nobody who could guard her one on one, but they really never used her that way all night

To attract such future stars, the heavens need to align: SDSU makes deep runs this year & going forward cuz AJ stays - Transfer Portal delivers an athletic complement (6'2" +) to Brooklyn - Recruit Classes of 2023 & 2024 at USD flop -
BTW - Hamlin won by three
