Some major targets for 2024:

Me'Arah O'Neal, 6-3 F/C, Episcopal HS (Bellaire, TX)
2024 espnW 60 ranking: 43 (previously: 60)
Uncommitted

O'Neal, the daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, has always had a soft touch and a natural feel for the face-up game, but she improved her activity level, on-court aggression and methodical ways to find offensive opportunities this past summer. Even at 6-3, she can handle the ball and put it on the deck. A forward for Episcopal High School (Texas) and Sports Academy GBL Cal Swish, O'Neal gained base and core strength, which allowed her to be more physical as she attacks the boards harder and mix things up defensively. Cal, San Diego, Georgia Tech, Rutgers and LSU are among the teams pursuing her.


Sarah Strong, 6-2 F, Grace Christian School (Sanford, NC)
2024 espnW 60 ranking: 4 (previously: 5)
Uncommitted

Strong specializes in skill and fundamentals, which helped her win gold with USA Basketball at the FIBA U17 3x3 World Cup. She is effective both inside and outside with a sturdy 6-2 frame and great hands. A forward for Grace Christian School (North Carolina) and Lady Strong, she is savvy in and around the paint, has a soft touch past the 3-point line and is an incredible passer, allowing her to both score and facilitate for others. She holds offers from many of the top schools in the country, including UConn, South Carolina, NC State, North Carolina and LSU.


Justice Carlton
2024 espnW 60 ranking: 3 (previously: 21)
Uncommitted

The 6-2 Carlton proved herself as one of the most versatile forwards in the country, leading Cy Fair Elite to an EYBL championship in Chicago in July by leading the league in scoring (20.6 PPG) and steals (4.0 spg) while also averaging 6.4 rebounds. Her game stands out from the high post and face-up areas on the court. Her fantastic touch and hands allow her to make pull-up jumpers and finish with either finesse or with power. A junior for Seven Lakes High School (Texas), her defensive instincts and footwork lead to getting tips and her hands on loose balls and passes. She released her top 20 list on Aug. 10 and has recently taken a visit to Texas.

Jaloni Cambridge 5-6 PG, #1 recruit in the nation. She was on LSU's campus in November.

Looks like they could get a little help from the football staff too. Corey Phillips (football dir. of player personnel and Nashville native) tweeted this out:
