Now with only 5 returning players (so far) transfer portal recruitment becomes essential to success.
I’ve been looking for players who we might have recruited in the past or are regional players that our staff are aware of.
Here is my list, so far. (Also in another thread)
Hannah Gusters 6’5. Oklahoma State. Her 3rd transfer which is a red flag but one year might be helpful.
Zoe Nelson 6’2 SFA. Unfortunately, Zoe’s girlfriend probably wouldn’t like ACU.
Aaliyah Henderson. 5’7 FR PG. SMU. Top 5 player in Oklahoma from Norman.
Caitlyn Jordan. 6’2. FR F. Utah Tech. Played at Dallas Christian. Not heavily recruited out of high school.
Two new ones.
Briana Davis. 5’9 SO PG North Texas. Red Oak Texas.
Jaylynn Bristow. 6’2. F. Iowa State. Holliday Texas. We offered her out of high school. Long and athletic.
I have no idea whether the staff or the player(s) are interested. Just identifying players who are now or were in our recruiting orbit.

Well, we signed Bri Davis. Excellent start. The last point guard named Brianna (Wright) was pretty darned good.
In addition to Bristow, another P5 player that we offered out of high school:
Jadyn Atchison 6’1 FR G From Cedar Hill. Transferring from Colorado.
Again, I’m following players from Texas, Oklahoma or other that ACU may have offered previously or that the staff may have had a relationship with.

Good info Cattitude. As I was looking at new followers for the coaches, I saw both her parents were following ACU Basketball, ACUsports and Coach Goodenough. I had a feeling she was coming, but this confirms it.
Woodson was also part of the all-freshmen team in her conference
Current Roster now-
Guards-
Z. Jackson- 5'8 Sr
Earle 5'10 Sr
Breanna Davis- 5'9 Jr
Hull- 5'11 Soph
Erin Woodson- 6'0 Soph
Tyla Heard- 6'0 Fr
Paula Pique- 6'0 Fr
Forwards-
M. Mayes- 6'2 Soph
Troxell- 5'11 Soph
Flippen- 6'4 Fr

Woodson's bloodlines are impressive. Her dad, Tracy, was a MLB pitcher and college head baseball coach. Her brother is currently the head tennis coach at Baylor. Her mom played basketball at Valparaiso (sp).

Woodson look like a fine recruit. Being both offensively and defensively talented sounds great to me. It is early but I am getting excited about next season. 6'2" and 6'4" with Peyton and Bella with the others sounds very strong.

2024-2025 roster is up (though the roster is not complete)
A few things of note-
Carlota Gomez-Alonso from Monroe College is on the roster. She averaged 16.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, over 3 steals and 2 assists per game. She is listed at 5'11 and will likely play the 4 at ACU. In looking at her numbers, she is not a great outside shooter. Has 2 years to play.
Tyla Heard is on the roster. I will say this again, her twitter no longer says committed to ACU. If she is looking to go elsewhere, she likely would need a waiver from the staff, as not only was she a commit, but a signee
Both Coach Henry and Coach McIlhargey are no longer at ACU. I have my thoughts as to why they are gone, but I will not share on this board.
Staff still has 4 spots to fill at the moment

Natalya Chavez from the University of New Mexico has just appeared on the roster. 5’11 G Jr. (Listed at 5’10 on UNM roster) 3rd year of college with 3 to play. Did not play very much at UNM.
Gomez-Alonso also listed at 5’10 on Monroe roster. Originally from Madrid Spain. Looks like a baller.
