Their daughter being a star player no telling what kind of NIL deals or ??? she is being offered being highly recruited. Mom and Dad are coaches and one is a head coach so if they want her they have to find some good jobs for mom and dad would be my guess. Webb School has turned the private sector into a semi pro league. Every body is playing for the Runner Up Trophy when you have players all over the country coming in. I heard TSSAA voted down a proposal that would have made certain players have to set out a year for coming in. I think worse case scenario TSSAA should have put a Miles Package together where it might be OK for a certain amount of miles but could have at least put a miles limit on it but nothing was done I heard. So I can understand her wanting to get away from the private sector because it is not a fair field.

I heard she is the number one 8th grader in the state don’t know if that is true maybe you know. I do know she is best middle schooler I’ve ever saw personally

Yeah she played like a senior this year. Great talent no doubt. She will go wherever she wants I would imagine. Don’t know her ranking.

She was the best player in West Tennessee last year as an 8th grader.

I agree she is a great talent. I seen her play against Loretto and the game went to the wire and USJ won.

I don't understand why they would move her. Great private school and the recruiting process is basically all AAU now anyways ( I hate that ). Why move? Doesn't make sense

That correct about great school environment. But the high school coaches, players, and parents need to know the NCAA has sanctioned recruiting camp for high school teams only June 15-17 this year. The BCAT is running it in Tennessee at Lebanon. Currently 65 teams are committed to play. These have usually been for boys only but the NCAA passed it for girls this year. Boys camp have been very well ran and huge successes.

This kid has no need for a "recruiting process"...with her obvious talent, the Ayers family will have to schedule appointments for her recruitment. I have no inside knowledge at all, but at USJ her team would basically be playing for a silver ball unless something derails the dynasty being built to the east of the river. If you're competitive, winning matters and there's virtually no chance in their division while competing against a nationwide all-star team.

Yeah they are playing for second place with about 7 or 8 just like her. And NIL is legal. I don’t know a lot about NIL but Nico got a huge deal before enrolling at TN. Never know what kind of deals may come this families way. Jobs come open for coaches too right??
