Win-E-Mac standout Madison McKeever, who's scored over 2,000 pts and has a state title, has verballed to South Dakota.

Also for South Dakota this weekend are 2016 verbals from Taylor Frederick - 6' 1" - Harlan Iowa
and 6' 1" LaShayla Wright - Bloomington Kennedy

Five State Hoops
@FiveStateHoops

With additions of two of our Top 12 Regional players in @tayfred52 & @LaBaller10 via verbal,
@SDCoyotesWBB 2016 Class looking very strong.

NDSU has a 2016 verbal from 5' 10" Tyrah Spencer of Bloomington Kennedy..... 2 D1 recruits so far from 1 high school squad,
must be an interesting team to watch.
Sure hope Madison McKeever and Sarah Jacobson weren't a package deal in recruiting.....

Do you know the reason they switched from NT to Fury? They're the only two players on the 2016 team to be in their first year with Fury. I know Jacobson has been ranked higher than McKeever in one or two rankings, but I tracked down the summer stats and it looks like McKeever had the much better summer.
