2017 recruits: Who is UConn still pursuing?

[ucalum]

Just curious to see if anyone knows what 2017 recruits Geno and staff are still pursuing? I know Megan Walker, but not sure of the others. Coach Bill said he did not think that Jade Williams was still on our list. Have we heard anything more about LaDahzia Williams or Mikayla Coombs?

Are there any other recruits for 2017 that we are tied to? Just curious.

 

[ucalum]

Also do we know if LaDahzia Williams and Mikayla Coombs have scholarship offers?

 

[Longtime fan]

Sorry. Haven't heard a thing. To know the answer, with accuracy, requires inside information that most of us have no way of accessing.

Coombs has UCONN offer per an 11/7/14 Georgia newspaper.
LaDahzia Williams does not have a UCONN offer.

Thanks for the information. Do you think Geno wants just 1 more for 2017 given the transfer of Azura?

I'm sure Geno wants at least 1 more. Her name is Megan,last name Walker.

I want them all. Sorry, still greedy.

Does she have a cousin in Virginia ---there is a terrific wing here---but her name isn't Megan last name Walker----she's just Megan Walker and loads of schools just love her. If Geno has any interest he should get going on this one--and forget the other one with the funny name!!

 

[BroadwayVa]

That's not greedy--especially when most of us want 13 plus NC's!! Gluttony maybe..

 

[CocoHusky]

Greed is good!

 

[JordyG]

Some of us piggies want 8 NC's in a row.

If one goes by the twitter follower method then LaDahzia seems to be currently interested in Notre Dame as Niele Ivey anf MM are recent follows for her.............if White ends up transfering to Notre Dame perhaps that could change her level of interest

 

[JordyG]

The difference between greed and gluttony is more than degree. Wanting 8 NC's in a row is greed. Wallowing in 4 NC's is gluttony. For the record I do both, thank you.

 

[CoachBill]

I just spoke with Mikayla Coombs
she says she is currently in process of setting up an Official Visit with UConn

its my belief that with the recent get of Azura Stevens.... Mikayla & Megan Walker are likely the remaining 2 targets Geno is seriously targeting from 2017 class.
Azura provides the STUD frontcourt player they needed / desired for 2017 - 2018 season & following year.
Also the 2018 Frontcourt calss is stronger, deeper overall.
Can fully envision that Geno will look target getting multiple Bigs from the 2018 class.

Girls Basketball Player of the Year: Wesleyan’s Mikayla Coombs http://Post original url/1Saw7r9

Nike Tournament of Champions-December 2015: Explosive combo-guard manufactures, delivers to rim; brings size to the back court; returning from knee injury. (Olson)

Nike Midwest Challenge-May 2014: Athletic combo-guard creates, elevates in mid-range game; dribble-drive attack draws contact, finishes to rim; scorer's mentality delivers with consistency. (Olson)

Nike Midwest Challenge-May 2013: Explosively athletic off-guard with college-ready frame manufactures, elevates in mid-range game, draws contact, finishes plays; stationary range at the arc; uptempo contributor. (Olson)

 

[CoachBill]

1:33 mark ( Coombs crossover - pullup 3 )

with her handle & quickness, Mikayla pretty much gets to any spot on floor at will... and can score from all those spots

Wallow away! Was that an AS, BA, MS, or PHD or Md or LLd?? I know that most who own the latter wallow in greed but the rungs on my ladder are broken (I don't understand them, I just write them)

All that and beauty too---Uconn is truly blessed...

Thanks this is one Thread I really enjoyed. Smart people these Boneyarders

 

[ucalum]

I would be happy to get Coombs along with Walker to round out that 2017 Class. Hopefully Collier, Prince, DeCosta, and Williams in 2018

CoachBill - who is the big from LI who you are so high on, and what is her class? I know you posted about her on one of these threads but I can't find it.

Thanks

MA man. There are actually as you know 7 deadly sins (the acronym Pemglas works) and I'm well acquainted with all of them. Frequently all at the same time. As I believe Jacob himself said, "These steps are steep".

Love it. You think like me. This one's for you. Great minds drink alike.

And 60 minute games to get everyone minutes.
