I equate this class with the Stewie/Mo/Tuck class. How many titles will they win?
Those 3 remind me the class of Cash, Jones and Williams in 2000.
I second this. I hope they all play to their potential. College isn't HS or USA BB for that matter. It's a tough grind.I hope they all play to their potential and continue our winning tradition!
Anyone want to take a guess at what #numbers they will pick? I guess Boykin will wear #33 does it go since she committed first? Boykin #33, Lou # 23 or #31 Collier #10 her USAB number?
ThanksOne of the guys on the beat had an article about the jersey numbers. I believe Boykin will take #35, KLS #33, and I would guess Collier would take #24 as that was her number in high school.

I agree the class is similar in size, but I don't think SBC is as good a class as SJT. Mainly because Stewie was by far the #1 player in the class, Jefferson was clearly #2 and the best PG ever coming out of HS, and Tuck was a former #1 kid who talent wise is top 5.I equate this class with the Stewie/Mo/Tuck class.

IMHO Samuelson and Collier are easily in the top 5 and probably top 3 in their class, but while Boykin is very good and will do a lot of the little things/dirty work, it's not clear she's a top 10 kid. Now if we'd landed Durr instead of Boykin, I'd agree with you wholeheartedly!
As for winning 4 NC's, I pray that's not the new standard that players and fans expect. Any incoming class at UCONN should definitely expect to earn 1 NC, and possibly 2. 3 is something special only done by Dee. Even the great TASS team and Maya did not win 3. Now of course it's been done by Stewie/Mo and Tuck.
Lastly, a lot depends on who else UCONN recruits. Chong and Tuck - solid class. Ek, Nurse, Williams and Butler - terrific. Collier, Boykin and Samuelson, terrific as well.
But Dangerfield and Irwin - solid like Tuck and Chong. I realize the staff is not done yet but IMHO they need a top 10 kid and it seems like it's Cox or bust. 2017 - Espinosa is a great start. But again, need more top talent if they want to continue.
I am also hearing they are out looking at 2018 kids as well. They staff is doing a great job getting out there... we will see how much fruit their efforts bear...
I still prefer Alexis Jones. I think Lex has the killer instinct but Jefferson is more of a pure point on both sides of the ball.Jefferson was clearly #2 and the best PG ever coming out of HS,
She played in at least one All-Star game in April. She may be less than 100%, but has been cleared to play apparently.Anyone know if DJ is back to full strength yet?

Why wait? That's is why someone invented Summer-so we can debate height. Shoot by the time they get to campus is enough time to draw 2 or 3 defnitively conflicting conclusions and change our minds about each thrice.When they get here, we can really debate their height(s).
