In this exciting episode of HoopsTracker, host Jerry Howard talks with Juliet Slater, a standout athlete from Erie High School’s girls basketball program. The episode kicks off with a significant announcement from Juliet—her commitment to play basketball at West Texas A\&M University, highlighting her summer success and recruitment journey. Jerry discusses the recruiting process and Juliet shares her essential criteria, such as a family-oriented team atmosphere and strong relationships with coaches, which led her to choose West Texas A\&M.

One of the most electric recruiting journeys in recent Colorado basketball history has come to a close — and it ends in burnt orange. Bri Crittendon, one of the most versatile and high-upside prospects in the nation, has officially committed to the University of Texas, choosing the Longhorns over major contenders across the country.

Her decision? Rooted in culture, development, opportunity — and a long-term vision that aligns with the NIL era.
