Who knew what would happen? When the NCAA added an extra year of eligibility for all current players due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, college basketball recruiting was thrown into the unknown. We knew it was going to impact the Class of 2022 in a big way, and it has. We just didn’t know how big the impact would be. The trickle down effects are definitely there but it hasn’t been quite as bad as was predicted, at least not in Minnesota. Heading into the school year about 50 Minnesota players give or take have announced their college commitments. That’s pretty good given the circumstances.

The latest commitments came over the weekend when two more kids decided to play junior college ball at North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) in Mason City – Kiera Albers Kiera Albers Kiera Albers 5'3" | PG Maple Grove | 2022 State MN of Maple Grove and MBA Cordes and Keiara Anderson Keiara Anderson 5'9" | CG St. Cloud Apollo | 2022 State MN of St. Cloud Apollo and the Minnesota Comets. Among the 51 players committed there are 19 who verballed to Division 1 programs (including eight high majors), 25 to Division 2 and six to Division 3, NAIA or junior college schools. There was one more D1 commit, but Nevaeh Hughes Nevaeh Hughes Nevaeh Hughes 6'1" | SF White Bear Lake | 2022 State MN of White Bear Lake (43 Hoops) reopened her recruiting following a coaching change at Canisius.

The latest D1 commits include #16-ranked Lizzie Holder Lizzie Holder Lizzie Holder 6'1" | PF Stillwater | 2022 State MN of Stillwater (Minnesota Fury 2022 UAA) who verballed to Colorado of the PAC 12 Conference, #13 Savannah White Savannah White 6'1" | SG DeLaSalle | 2022 State MN of DeLaSalle (FBC Real) who said ‘yes’ to Wisconsin, and #23 Kaylynn Asberry Kaylynn Asberry Kaylynn Asberry 5'5" | PG Como Park | 2022 State MN of St. Paul Como Park (FBC Real) who signed with St. Peter’s in New Jersey. Among the recent D2 commits are #15 Lexi Karge Lexi Karge 6'2" | PF Mankato East | 2022 State MN of Mankato East (Minnesota Stars Nilsen) to UM-Duluth, #29 Natalie Bremer Natalie Bremer Natalie Bremer 5'11" | CG Lake City | 2022 State MN of Lake City (Wisconsin Playmakers) to MSU-Mankato, and #44 Paige Peaslee Paige Peaslee 6'0" | PF North Branch | 2022 State MN of North Branch (Minnesota Heat) to Winona State.

The Division 3 commits are always the last to happen, primarily because the top athletes are waiting to see if they can land a spot at a higher level and because there are no scholarships involved so there are a lot of financial and academic considerations to be dealt with. The top D3 commit so far is #73 Rose Wille Rose Wille Rose Wille 5'8" | SG Farmington | 2022 State MN of Farmington (Fury 2022 Premier) who recently verballed to UW-Stout while the first NAIA commit is Alicia Bates Alicia Bates 5'6" | CG Champlin Park | 2022 State MN of Champlin Park (43 Hoops) who verballed to Briar Cliff in Iowa.

Clearly the extra year is having an impact. A number of players who would have had opportunities to play at the Division 1 level have opted to go D2 because the openings have been limited. That, in turn, is pushing others down to D3 because the scholarship-level openings just aren’t there. By our estimation, there are still two or three players who could land a D1 roster spot before it’s all said and done for the Class of 2022, or will eventually get there via the JUCO route. That group could potentially include #17 Ronnie Porter Ronnie Porter Ronnie Porter 5'2" | CG Como Park | 2022 State MN of St. Paul Como Park (FBC Real), #21 Alayna Contreras Alayna Contreras Alayna Contreras 5'7" | CG Hopkins | 2022 State MN of Hopkins (Metro Stars 3SSB) and #32 Myra Moorjani Myra Moorjani 5'8" | CG Eden Prairie | 2022 State MN of Eden Prairie (North Tartan). For comparison’s sake, in the Class of 2021 there were 32 D1 commitments; in 2020 it was 22 (including two who got there via JUCO ball); in 2019 there were 26.

There are actually two more Division 1 commits we should mention – the first two players to verbal from the Class of 2023. The first was #17 Taryn Hamling Taryn Hamling Taryn Hamling 5'9" | PG Grand Rapids | 2023 State MN of  Grand Rapids and Minnesota Stars Hersch who verballed to North Dakota State earlier this year. Most recently #23 Zoey Washington Zoey Washington Zoey Washington 5'9" | CG St. Croix Lutheran | 2023 State MN (Minnesota Fury), formerly of Mahtomedi and now at St. Croix Lutheran, said ‘yes’ to the University of St. Thomas.
