    April UConn recruiting thread

    A lot of court vision and silky smoothness in her game. Sign her up.

    April UConn recruiting thread

    Strong and tough in traffic. By her junior season, maybe sooner, she could be the best all around player in the country.

    Some serious defense right there. :p

    And she played against the top Nike EYBL age group (17U) last year at 14 yo and this year at 15.

    UConn stats... 10 reasons Ashlynn may start...(again)

    This wasn't a ranking, this is ONE media site naming her POY. None of the ranking services rated Fudd ahead of those two because they all rank players by class, not overall. And she was in a different class.

    Good fit for Inés?

    You'd better read this again. You're stating that both have signed with UConn.

    UConn stats... 10 reasons Ashlynn may start...(again)

    By who and when? Do you have a link to that? Fudd wasn't even in the same HS class.

    Good fit for Inés?

    Neither Fisher or Gandy can sign a NLI until Nov. 13 this coming fall. They are not currently signed anywhere.

    Nika and KK both attending Kelsey Plum camp

    She should. Plum is only 5-8.

    April UConn recruiting thread

    Interesting article. Four things: 1) Wonder why Jerzy Robinson's not playing club ball. 2) If she makes the U17 team and after a lot of hype, it will be interesting to see how Douglas reacts and plays with some actual body contact to work through. 3) The writer says " The PG leaders must emerge...

    Good fit for Inés?

    The Patriot League schools started offering BB scholarships in the fall of 1998.

    April UConn recruiting thread

    I would say probably since she listed UConn in her final 12 this past Feb. It seems unlikely she would do that without an offer.

    Nike Hoops Summit

    Fournier actually has good form and a decent release on her FTs. But that doesn't really matter that much if she doesn't have feel and depth perception. Plus she's never been taught how to use her best asset (her vertical jump) to go up straight to shoot in traffic from any distance. Her ceiling...

    Portal Thoughts Anyone?

    And if Auriemma decides to bring in 1 or 2 transfers this spring, doesn't that indicate that he believes he needs and wants more also? And then, because he's the one who decided he needed more and assembled the team this way, you'll be OK with it right?

    Would Dawn Staley take the Stanford Job?

    Lifetime job at SC versus 2 years and fired by an inept front office and ownership.

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    Probably an experienced replacement for Spencer. The freshman coming in this fall, Isiah Abraham, can really shoot too. Plus UConn is in on McNeeley from Montverde. Maybe the top wing/shooter in the 2024 class. Was committed to Indiana but reopened his recruitment.

    Don't know if this guy is good enough to play at UConn but he just went into the portal. https://247sports.com/article/college-basketball-transfer-portal-brendan-hausen-villova-230218064/#:~:text=Villanova%20sophomore%20Brendan%20Hausen%20will,percent%20shooting%20from%20long%20range.

    HoopGurlz- Rankings are updated

    I’ll just say that I believe both Somfai and McGaughy are under ranked and I think both are better than Macy. Not only did Somfai arrive mid season at IMG but I’m not sure she’s played much. One game in early Feb. she only played 5 minutes and the most recent games she’s been in sweats on the...

    Iriafen is arguably the best big in the country right now.

    There was no interest on either side coming out of HS and I doubt that would change. If you'd seen her in her McDonald's AA game this would make sense.

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    I don't see Auriemma recruiting over the 4 very good young guards he already has, two sophs and two freshman. And Olson isn't going to be looking for a place to share PT with Bueckers, Fudd, Shade, and Arnold. She'll be the lead guard someplace.

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    I don’t only because I believe she’d be looking for starter minutes which aren’t going to be there.

    No, only Bueckers’ class of 2020-21 gets the Covid year.

    I guess it's ok since we don't really need the roster spots. ;):p

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    I would think UConn will notify her (Rodriguez) or them about their status as soon as they know their roster situation. And would try to do that prior to the end of the NLI signing period which begins April 17 and ends on May 15 if possible. Of course the kids are free to sign elsewhere if they...

    UConn (only) recruiting speculation (merged)

    I agree with Clay that this is fairly common but a shady way to do business. Reputable coaches like Auriemma, Staley, etc. will generally communicate honestly with recruits about where they stand with their priority regarding their offer. If it's conditional on roster spot availability, academic...

    Strong to UConn [merged thread]

    1) Glad to see that someone else picked up on this. 2) ESPN probably offered her the tournament platform to do the reveal like they do during the early signing period for FB and BB for others and she wanted to have a little fun with it and her teammates.

    Nika Muhl and WNBA Draft

    Correct. Bigs have to be skilled plus be physically and mentally tough. Guards and wings have to be able to process the game very quickly while playing really fast under control. Very few kids coming out of college have those combinations and that's why veterans in their late 20s and 30s can...

    Goes to show how little HS rankings mean for college NCs. They're not always the very best players.
