Jordan should be an object lesson for all top rated recruits on the consequences of choosing badly. She was an excellent player, tremendous skills, and she had the misfortune to spend her years in Rocky Top. Watch the old FIBA games with her playing next to Paige and you get a vision of what could have been.
My wide and I liked to visit new places. This kid is just getting an early start. Obviously intell ctually curious.
There's a first time for everything. Maybe UConn's academics have become a bit more attractive.
Horston was immensely talented and we'll never know if Geno and staff could have developed her productivity and decision-making and decreased her mistakes..........going to that Tennessee program that lacked coaching and discipline was probably the worst place for her to go if she wanted to improve her game.....
don't think either side has an interest in reuniting......
Good point especially in relation to grad transfers. Most schools have some excellent grad programs. For example, SCar doesn't have the greatest (or worst) grad programs across the board. However, it has a handful that are superb. For example, the International Business program ranks 1/2 with Wharton every year. I would imagine that UConn also has a handful of excellent programs an Ivy (for example) COULD be interested in.
Horrible auto correct.
I would be a corpse for that first mistake.
Bet your wife doesn’t appreciate you calling her that.
Not that I know of. The closest was Brittany Hunter who wanted to come to UCONN and was recruited pretty heavily by UCONN, but her dad basically forced her to Duke. She transferred after a couple years (and and injury) to UCONN.
Jordan Horston is not the best example of talented Tennessee players who failed to develop. She played four solid years as a Lady Vol, and played very effectively against UConn in each year's game. She was drafted in the first round by the Seattle Storm and has played well for them.
See my correction And i wish my wife were still alive to scold me.
Strong is nothing like Maya though . Strong reminds me of Ice Brady with more confidence and a better handle , Honestly i do not see game changer when i watch Strong play more of if she goes to the right place with the right team and fit she would be a big complimenting piece . Unfortunately she does not want to play Post so all the excitement to bring her in when we need a PF is strange . She has stated clearly shes a 2/3
Jordan made the WNBA all rookie team i doubt she has any regrets Lol
she was indeed a great player at times but would inexplicably make alarming turnovers and mental mistakes.......her lack of consistency was the real issue........I haven't followed her in the pros so I have no idea if she outgrew those bad habits.......I recently caught Mercedes Russell on tv playing overseas and I was surprised to see that she was extremely aggressive and had a very impressive game.....
I never said she did. I was merely speculating on what she might have done elsewhere.
I had wrote down on my recruiting spreadsheet a note about how she has been a lifelong UConn fan (don’t know where I initially saw that). I also think she initially received a UConn offer in 2022 (according to twitter). I don’t think UConn needs another guard, so I doubt we are even in the running. My guess is she’ll go to the SEC. I remember her also having offers from Florida, Missouri, FSU, Louisville, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina.Posted this in non-conn recruiting thread. There was interest early on, and then not.

Rooting for UNC. Also, while I don't care for it in the long run, we've gotten great impact players from the portal the last 2 years, so I'm not worried. Also, I think we'll have a great '25 class.the-boneyard.com
But how’s the social life in Storrs?
I read somewhere that one of the draws for Rickea in Tennessee was the shopping mall.But how’s the social life in Storrs?
