As the doors begin to close on many teams' seasons, the window (or portal) opens to the usual stream of transfer announcements.
I'll try to compile a list of more-or-less significant transfers here (my subjective call). I'm also folding in the still pending midseason transfers from this thread...
She has been mentioned in the recruit threads a couple dozen times which you can access below. She's definitely a top talent. She's also already a bit of a brand and a social media star. We'll see if UConn continues their interest.

I don't know if any of you have heard of JadaWilliams but I watched her play last night against Incarnate Word Academy, Napheesa Collier's old high school. The announcer said she is the top rated freshman in the country. I could see why. She is really good and gave IWA fits in the first...
Blue Star has shuffled some of their rankings.
For 2023, Judea Watkins continues to be #1, but they've moved UConn POI JadaWilliams down from #2 to #7 which I don't get considering she had a good summer.
Another POI moved down is Milaysia Fulwiley, from #3 to #6. Also a head-scratcher.

...a weapon but still needs to become more consistent. She should not force up perimeter shots that are not in the flow of the offense.

Williams was the straw that stirred the drink for Central. She scored when...
...is impressive, and she strikes me as a UConn-type player: skilled, versatile, high BB IQ. She was ranked 8th by ASGR as of last year.
JadaWilliams and the Central team won the global title today. Williams had 11 points and 4 assists. She has a real flair to her game and is highly...
...and ideal tools to become one of the top 10 players in her class. Breya looks as if she will reach that ceiling as a prospect.

That will be JadaWilliams vs Judea Watkins and Breya Cunningham. The latter two already played today and...oh..my..goodness.
Cunningham: 36 points (16/18 FG), 22 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks
Watkins: 13 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks...
Still in progress. Many top '23s and 24s are playing including top '23's and UConn POI's Judea Watkins and JadaWilliams. Blue Star's 1-2 for 2024 are there as well, Jaloni Cambridge and Kendall Dudley.
Watkins' teammate Breya Cunningham ('23) has been a monster so far and likely will be on...
Adidas is hosting a camp for players I presume are affiliated with the brand. Noticed two UConn POI there so far: 2023 #2 JadaWilliams and 2021 Talia Von Oelhoffen. TVO just won a 1 vs 1 tourney as noted by Shane Laflin below.
Betts is REALLY tall. Maybe 4" taller than DeBerry ?
I had the opportunity to watch Olivia Miles play last year in one game. This might sound like heresy but, she's not that far behind Fudd.

2023 Milaysia Fulwiley is an electric guard from South Carolina. Her current Blue Star ranking of #3 means UConn is following the top three players on BS's list.
1) Judea Watkins
2) JadaWilliams
3) Milaysia Fulwiley
A bunch of northeasterners! Is UConn interested in any of them?

Might as well put this here then. The top two '23's at the moment, from an event in early May. Both on UConn's radar.
