Walker's Visit this weekend

[RockyMTblue2]

Seeing Bre, Mo & Morgan go 1, 2,3 in the draft, I would think Ms. Walker may well be close to commiting.

Mojo Alert! The use of the subjunctive case does not absolve you of responsibility! No matter how pluperfect it would be.

Come on Geno , don't let her leave Storrs without getting a verbal.

 

[CL82]

Does anyone know what is allowed during an unofficial visit?

Depends, are we talking UConn or Louisville?

There is only so much that Geno can do!

Come on Geno , don't let her leave Storrs without getting a verbal.

Is Geno even allowed to have any contact with a recruit on an unofficial visit? Not sure what the NCAA rules are on this stuff.

Do you think she reads the Boneyard, cuz this is sorta nice recruiting material don't you think?

“It was huge, being able to come to Connecticut and have Coach Auriemma push you as a person and a player; no one else does that across the country, no matter what you say, they don’t do that,” said Stewart during an interview on the ESPN telecast. “They are preparing you to be great not only for the college level but for what’s to come, they know you’re goals are bigger than just being at UConn.”

It is interesting that the visit is in sync with the LOI period.

As long as she is on campus he can speak with her. Unless the rules have changed, anything she purchases such as meals, souvenirs, etc. on campus can't be paid for by UConn. Also, if lodging is off campus, it also can't be paid for by UConn.

And the same weekend in which Geno locked up KLS, Collier, and Boykin.

The current LOI period we are in is for the class of 2016. Megan is class of 2017.

I'm not sure but I sure hope she is allowed the use of a pen......

Megan cannot sign an LOI until November 2016.

Rules have not changed you nailed it.

Nothing expected to be signed then. But most of the time, a woman's verbal is almost as good. Male athletes, not so much.

So, a verbal would be nice, wouldn't it? Can I legally say that?

You can correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that on an "unofficial" visit, a kid can do whatever he/she wants. Free country. Talk to profs, meet coaches, attend classes, etc. Just can't be reimbursed for any expenses. And a kid can visit as many times as he/she likes. Again, free country.

Have I got that right?

Wait, is Brenda Frese in the picture?

Didn't Boykin,Samuelson,and Collier give their verbals at about this time at the end of their junior year? Ms.Walker is now nearing this same period in her junior year also.You all know what this means.This is a good sign.Whoops,can't say that word.Bird and Taurasi visited Maya in person while they were in Russia according to the Voles,so since they are in the U.S. right now....just saying maybe they can bring some Wendy burgers,take a trip to ESPN and break some bread together.Tennessee will probably have drones with cameras flying around Storrs this weekend.If any of you are in the area this weekend there are ways to bring them down.lol

And I understand that Jupiter is aligned with Mars.

Nice coincidence.......Lets hope the Huskies capitalize on it.

I think he is allowed if they are on the UCONN campus.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I would think a visit to Wendy's is out.

But if Nonna and Kathy Auriemma cook for Megan, she'll never want to go home.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I think he is allowed if they are on the UCONN campus.

Actually, if the family goes back to their lodging he can call them. He cannot talk to them on campus. What I just said is totally false as far as I know, but, then, it seems the NCASEC has special rules for UConn and they are "double secret."

 

[JordyG]

I'm hoping Azua Stevens was watching.

Azura Stevens.

 

[JoePgh]

I'm not sure but I sure hope she is allowed the use of a pen......

Actually, the use of a pen is NOT allowed in her case until November 15. That is why the most she can offer this weekend is a verbal commitment.

My WAG about Ms Walker. It appears that she has narrowed her list down to UConn and Notre Dame by announcing a (final?) visit to each. It is possible that whichever school (or program) persuades her that her destiny will best be fulfilled for four important years gets her verbal commitment.

Only she and her very tight circle of family and advisers know what her priorities are and if she is "leaning" in either direction.

And I like our chances.

I always wondered why ND waits until the fall to bring recruits on campus. That seems like that would put them behind in the recruiting game. I know it has to do with wanting the recruit to experience a football Saturday, but WCBB recruits aren't going to be playing football. Meanwhile that sly old dog Geno seems to like entertaining recruits just after the WNBA draft. Sure the campus isn't buzzing like a P5 campus during a glorious fall afternoon amidst the college football season, and yeah the campus isn't exactly pretty this time of year with trees still bare and sometimes the last of the snow piles still hanging around, but if you're a top WCBB recruit, I imagine the buzz on the internet and the media from a freshly won title and high WNBA draft picks trumps anything a football weekend offers. It's a smart strategy and quite simple: strike while the iron is hot.
