2014 Recruiting Status

[WNBARookFan]

It appears that the action for the recruitment of 2014 players has picked up a bit, which makes sense as it is a pivotal year for the Huskies as there are definite holes they will need to fill.

Below is a list of names that have been associated with UConn. A few have been listed under the "Questionable" category as there may have been information indicating that the interest has waned from one or both parties.

If anyone has any additional information, please let me know!

Good list and nice synopsis of who we are after thanks!!

We need 3 of the "Under Consideration"......Hopefully 2 of the 3 being Calhoun and Wilson....I think they just bring so much talent and versatility to the team. Calhoun because she truly wants to be a Husky ; and Wilson because she replaces so much of what we will have lost to graduation that year.

Come on Geno , round them up , rope'em , and bring them to the stable.

Am hoping we can get a 5 person class.
That would mean 12 players in 14-15.

I believe Calhoun has a scholarship offer so she is free to verbal at an time.

I think we need at least 4. I'd go as high as 6 for the right kids. We need at least 2 players who are 6'2" or taller.
