Another week is in the books which means another shake up to the 2017 Recruiting Class Rankings. This week it is Duke shaking up the top 10 by virtue of adding two players ranked in the top 40.
The Blue Devils landed Jayda Adams and Jade Williams all in the same week, moving its recruiting class from 27th up to No. 7.
Michigan got some good news when Deja Church, the No. 67 ranked player in the ProspectsNation.com ELITE 150 gave the Wolverines her verbal pledge. The 5-foot-10 wing had previously committed to Minnesota but had a change of heart.
Signing week begins next week and the nation’s top two players are still undecided. Megan Walker and Evina Westbrook are expected to announce next week. Westbrook has set up a press conference on the 10th to announce from her final list of Maryland, Notre Dame, Oregon State, Tennessee and USC. Walker will choose from her finalists – Connecticut, Notre Dame and Texas.
