Didn't we feel the same way about A'a Wilson and Lauren Fox? We survived, just fine... Now, just grab those two PGs from Texas A&M and let's reload.

Megan Walker is going to be a monster this year. I know that many were disappointed in her last year, but she came from a system where she was the #1 option, and could take the ball to the rack whenever she wanted. Last year, she was never more than the 3rd option to shoot, and 4th option to...

You mean EDD short?

I think it is very difficult to steal a top 5 choice from the Olympic coach. Everyone wants to play in the Olympics, and the probability of a "wink and nod" quid pro quo signing is overwhelming. Look who played in the games for Geno.

Corny Thompson from Middletown.

Wow, how defensive. Of course I meant that Walker's GAME would demand attention...because she's so skilled. As to transfers, note that Englen, Marcie Glennie and Mykala Johnson (among others) left after it became clear that they would never be more than extended bench players. Unlike others...

Next class is far more credentialed than this one. Walker will demand time and inclusion. Bent is in danger of slipping to the end of the bench, particularly if Lou winds up at the 2. Stevens and Camara, Walker and Williams will challenge Kyla's minutes. Kyla must improve foot speed, and...

I get it...sorta like one wins the popular vote and the other wins the electoral vote... so that everybody is happy...right?

If she shows up, Geno will sign Grayson Allen and Amanda Nunes. Nobody puts the Streak in a corner...

THE ONLY WAY TO WIN, IS NOT TO PLAY...

Watch out for the old "Willis Reed." Maybe even a ketchup shot on the socks, for RS Nation...

I She should be the 6th (wo) man because she is a pace-changer...she tears other teams apart if they are tired or sluggish. She creates defensive problems and rebounds... She can start a run...or kill their run. She doesn't need the ball, but the ball always finds her... Nobody has that...

On next years team...Gabby is Havlicek... she is Cazzie Russell (as a Warrior)... the best 6th (wo)man in the nation...

The coaches of the top 6-7 programs all think they have the best team. In reality, what they have is a group of 4 and 5 star players, who have to be taught how to play as a team. That's what makes the UConn program unmatchable. Not All-Americans, but cohesive teams with unselfish stars. So...

Clever... She's the One that I Want...

Stevens or N. Collier...

Megan W owes the Boneyard fans absolutely nothing. This decision is between MW and Geno... and her parents. How can thoughtful reflection and an open mind offend fans? If Geno and CD haven't expressed any lost interest, the Kid is worth the wait. Done! boom!

Craziness. Recruitment is half the fun of being a fan. Like the draft in the NBA or NFL, whole programs are changed, destinies revised and jobs won/lost by recruitment. Megan Walker is a prodigy. The program will undoubtedly survive without her; but we, the fans who watch every game and live...

Say it ain't so! I think she fits the UConn gameplan so well... Still got my fingers crossed...

I guess so, but Phil Jackson had Jordan, Kobe etc. Without superstars Phil Jackson might be as unknown as LaToya and Tito.

Don't turn this process into a spy novel. MW is a level-headed basketball prodigy. Smart, talented, articulate and attractive...her future is not limited to basketball; but, her near future might be. She's got the basketball world at her fingertips, and that gives her the leverage to connect...

No teenager needs the pressure of being the designated messiah at their chosen school. They are young women who deserve the entire college experience with "best friends" and all the social experiences that any other student (athlete) enjoys. For every Diana/Sue/Maya/Stewie there is an...

Well, what if your dreams and goals change? I was Pre-Med, now a Lawyer. Met a woman, moved to Connecticut, not in the plan. Destroyed my knees as a Freshman, course correction... I love my college, but my dreams and goals were met by readjusting course after college. College should give...

You all forget that UConn is reasonably proximate to ESPN, and New York City(Boston). There is life after basketball, and the airwaves are dotted with UConn grads. Same with coaching positions. But, when all is said and done, sometimes the decision comes down to who they will play with, or...

If UConn doesn't win, it will be because of maturity, not talent. They have everything but rebounding at a championship level. Heavy burden on Butler to finally meet expectations. How high can Williams and Collier reach? Other teams have more predictable size and experience, until the...

You would never accept the visit if you aren't willing to put on the unis. It's polite, if not entirely consistent with their statements that they haven't made their final decision yet.

Yeah, and Delta State and Queens College (NY). The D1 colleges had not discovered WBB yet. To be fair, EDD should be listed as a UConn signee. And Cox hasn't played a game yet.

Big loss for JMU. I thought that Shea Ralph would have been perfect for that job.

I was speaking of Samuelson, but Brunelle is absolutely UConn material. Coach's kid, too.

Indiana has become more and more conservative and inflexible.

You are, of course...correct. But, as a longtime (old) student of the game, I always demonstrate an unfortunate bias for the game as "art." You can win the NCAA with the 5 best players, but that's not fun. You should win. The right mix of student-athletes of character and court generosity is...

Stop overanalyzing. ND and Texas are football schools. I hope she understands that you don't go to Dental School to be a Veterinarian. And, the Olympic team and WNBA all-star teams are loaded with women from a Basketball-first university. That's where WE have the edge. You can watch...

All the schools on her list can provide a great education (for the athlete who really wants one). The difference, the fact that distinguishes the UConn Women's program from Notre Dame and Texas, is that the UConn basketball program has a culture all its own, ND and Texas will always be about...

She's going to be a star wherever she goes. That having been said, she comes across like Maya Moore in the sense that her individual stats will never be more important than her team record and contribution. Team basketball is what Geno and Daley teach better than anyone else in the women's...
