Good looking trio! Look at that they are wearing--was there a major cold front in Storrs today??

High temps only mid 50's. Lowest high for June in 100 years for Connecticut. More seasonal this coming week.

It's been well into the 80s here in D.C., but I see 2 days of cooling in the forecast for this week.

Prospects Nation updated their 2016 player ranking. They moved Crystal Dangerfield up to #2 ahead of Joyner Holmes. Still no Kyla Irwin. Ionescu up to #4, McCoy at #8. Lauren Cox still the top dog.

Crystal is impressive.

 

[PhillyCoach]

Three of my favorites!

Morgan seems a skosh taller than Napheesa.

And also 3 years of college lifting STRONG.

It's interesting, two Tennessee high school ballers in the top 10, and Lady Vols missed out on both of them. I doubt that would have happened a few years ago. Times are a changin'.

Article on Kyla Irwin's inspiring athlete award:


Kyla Irwin also knows she may hear from more college coaches, but it would be tough to convince her to change her mind.

“They might be thinking about it,” Irwin laughed, “but they won’t budge me anywhere.”

Yes, she's not hard to like. A quote from her in the article that caught my eye:

Even as she continues playing club basketball this spring and summer, playing in tournaments, she still works on her game and tries to improve.

“The standard of a UConn commit is a major thing,” said the 6-foot-2 junior forward.

Just curious if we should not terminate this thread and start a new one for 2016 and beyond since the 2015s are on campus already? It has been a great thread for gathering all the information on the commits, but is a bit unwieldy at this point.

I was going to ask that question soon, maybe after the summer session since Dangerfield and Irwin might still play more AAU ball.

I know that dorm very well, everything slants downhill to the left.

Need to add MB to the thread title.

Think we should wait until we set up a new thread for the coming season.

 

[Bgillon]

I vote for a new thread for 2016 and beyond.

 

[JavaMan]

How about:

• 2016 Recruiting Targets And Could Be's
• 2016 Commits And Verbals
• 2017 Recruiting Targets And Could Be's
• 2017 Commits And Verbals
• 2018 Recruiting Targets And Could Be's
• 2018 Commits And Verbals

And son, and so on.

Each thread will contain a much more manageable progression and discussion. Also, it will be easier to find a particular individual, and ...it might even aid us in staying on task and off tangents.

Hey, don't knock the tangents - a great BY tradition (except when initiated by stwainfan et al )

That's six separate threads though. I know there's no perfect set-up, but this one worked about as well as possible I thought. The next thread will "only" contain Dangerfield, Irwin, Bent, and Espinosa-Hunter for a while, and frankly, the latter three don't have great local media coverage. That thread shouldn't fill up anywhere near as quickly as this one did.

Really only need one thread pinned at the top - we gets lots of individual threads that pertain to the prospects and commits when something memorable happens or when there is a good press moment. This thread was a nice place to store the accomplishments for the group that occurred over the last year - maybe not thread worthy on their own, but interesting for all.

I'll cosine on that.

I'll cosine on that.

I guess I'm the secant person to think of that.

You two can be so obtuse.

 

[UConnCat]

You two can be so obtuse.

No, they're just off on another tangent. Because it's two of them, I guess we can call it a cotangent.

 

[meyers7]

You two can be so obtuse.

At least they're congruent.

You are such acute-y.
