I've been out of the loop but I saw this was out the end of May. I hadn't seen anyone post about it yet.
1. Baylor
The Bears added a wonderful mix of post and perimeter players, plus the nation’s No. 1 transfer (Bernice Mosby from Florida). Danielle Wilson (6-4, C, No. 16 nationally) is loaded with potential, while 6-4 Jessika Bradley (No. 48) is a versatile player who could fill a number of positions. On the perimeter, both Latara Darrett (5-9, PG, No. 11) and Whitney Jones (5-7, No. 73) bring the quickness that Coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson loves.
3. Oklahoma
After snaring the Paris sisters last year, the Sooners added more strength with Amanda Thompson (6-0, PF, No. 8) and Abi Alajuwon (6-3, C, No. 26). Thompson is a versatile physical specimen who is ready for prime time, and Alajuwon (Akeem’s daughter) will be a nice complement in the paint. OU also got needed athleticism on the perimeter with Rose Hammond (5-8, SG, No. 40) and Nyeshia Stevenson (6-1, WF, No. 64), while Jenise Plumley (5-5, PG, Top 300) is a solid floor leader.
10. Texas
The Longhorns signed a ton of talent, with Brittany Raven (6-0, PG, No. 3), leading the way. Vantranique Hughes (5-11, 2G, No. 21) isn’t far behind Raven in terms of athleticism, and they should form an amazing duo. Kristen Nash (6-2, PF, No. 88) is another strong prospect, while Gabrielle Mattox (5-11, WF, No. 244) will be a role player.
20. Kansas
Bonnie Henrickson loaded up with five talented players. Sade Morris (6-0, WF, No. 67) and Danielle McCray (5-11, WF, No. 28) headline a list of skilled athletes who should fit perfectly into Henrickson’s system. Look for early contributions from LaChelda Jacobs (5-9, PG, No. 156), Kelly Kohn (5-8, PG, No. 102) and Lindsey Ballweg (5-10, SG, No. 182).
27. Oklahoma State
After finishing in the Big 12 cellar last year, OSU rebounded with a quality six-player class that will provide help at every position. The two prep signees are Ally Clardy (5-8, PG, No. 116) and Andrea Riley (5-6, PG, No. 136). In addition, Coach Kurt Budke added four JUCOs – Dominique Chisholm (6-1, PF, No. 16), Maria Cordero (6-3, PF, No. 20), Rita Kollo (6-0, WF, No. 23) and Danielle Green (5-8, SG, No. 31).
29. Colorado
Although the Buffs new coaching staff had a late start, they still brought in five Top 150 recruits. The newest arrivals in Colorado will be Candace Rucker (5-10, SG, No. 70), Aija Putnina (6-3, PF, No. 86), Courtney Dunn (6-4, C, No. 112), Brittany Spears (5-6, PG, No. 144) and Whitney Houston (5-6, PG). The class got even better with the addition of Notre Dame transfer Susie Powers (5-10, 2G, No. 7 transfer) and Bianca Smith (5-8, PG, No. 8 transfer) who originally signed with Tulsa last year but never enrolled.
32. Texas A&M
Gary Blair continued to move his program forward with a nice showing in his home area. Damitria Buchanan (6-2, C, No. 63), Adrian McGowen (5-10, SG, No. 130) and Katrina Limbaha (6-3, WF, No. 172) should all make an early contribution.
Neb, K.State, Iowa St. and Texas Tech all had Honorable mention
One man's thoughts.
