Zoe Brooks will announce her college decision on Thursday, the four-star guard set to wrap up her national recruitment.
The decision draws a close to Brooks’ recruitment where she was one of the most heavily pursued guards in the nation. A class of 2023 standout at Saint John Vianney High School (Holmdel, N.J.), Brooks has been a multi-year star and starter for one of the top programs in the nation. According to ESPN.com, she is the No. 33 player in the nation.
She’s been all-state for three straight seasons and last year was named a junior All-American by MaxPreps.
Last week in an interview with RutgersWire, Brooks provided an update on her recruitment:
“I have 10 schools that I hear from on a consistent basis. They are Boston College, Georgetown, Miami, Mississippi State North Carolina State, Penn State, Seton Hall, USC, Syracuse and West Virginia. Rutgers would be considered. It’s a good school.”
It is unclear if Rutgers is in the mix as one of her finalists.

It has been a whirlwind month for the Rutgers women’s basketball program. Legendary head coach C. Vivian Stringer announced her retirement in May, drawing a close to a hall of fame career where she turned the Scarlet Knights into a national program that consistently made deep runs into the NCAA Tournament.
