Does anybody have any insight or speculation regarding the 2018 recruiting class or (to be more specific) Christyn Williams, etc?

@FlyRyGuy was just wondering, it has been 8 pages and 184 post since you requested "insight" or speculation. I see 184 post of the latter variety and none of the former. You?

Based on some of the previous "speculation" it will be by subliminal messages via twitter.

The recruiting picture short term results are troubling. We have two players from last year and two players from this year's class that can not keep up with pace. They do not have athletic speed as part of their makeup. This is future core of our team playing against Texas and South Carolina in two years? Shea Ralph and Chris Daily are charge of recruiting so they know better.
Do you agree?

Curious comment. Has there ever been a past Frosh who was able to immediately, Day One of practice, "keep up with the pace?" Even my favorite Huskie ever, Stewie, had a number of questions until she won MVP in playoffs.

I remember that Maya was game ready as a freshman.

Looks like a very nice restaurant, nice enough for Duke graduates to be the waiters. :eek:

Welcome.
No I don't agree. Who is this "we"?
UCONN "pace" is not your ordinary run of the mill pace. Very few 1st year players in the program achieve that pace. Can we give them a scrimmage before "WE" decide what the can't do?
How about we play Texas and South Carolina this year before we worry about two years from now.
Recruiting at UCONN is a collaborative effort among the staff, not sure why you are trying to lay "troubling results" on Shea and CD.
UCONN's recruiting picture is just fine.

Good suggestion: I'd modify it a bit. Any player Uconn MAY think of recruiting must take on Uconn Sophs. If they lose, next 5. \
Also Shea and Marisa are responsible for recruiting. If they can't do better fire them. If they can't bring home a big or 3 this or next year they are gone.
The way the recruiting works (as it was told) Shea and Marisa do the ground work view and report. If potential Geno or Chris take a look, if good then Geno gets serious.
The recruiting picture is terrible. Did you see it? The first 10 minutes were interesting but the final wrap up left a lot to be desired. \
I have lived through what some consider the "bad times" and great times: I have found a lot to enjoy in either mode. If one is a Uconn fan we don't walk away if Geno doesn't win the the next NC, Elite 8, he always makes the NCAA--what other team has as many entries? I only get disappointed for our kids should Uconn lose.

I dont think UConn will end up with no recruits out of the class of 2018 and judging from who's left CW and Nelson Odada I like our chances of having at least one if not both. I saw comments about UConn not having any recruits in the 2018 class. Well I doubt we go empty handed with these two left. Im smiling

If UConn can get these two highly coveted top 5 (#1 & #5 - 2018 HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings - espnW 100)
recruits, it would be a huge get for the Huskies and some coaches in a certain BB office could breathe a sigh of relief. Christmas in November (gifts). :)

Jim Fuller with a piece on the remaining 2018 recruits and a brief mention of two 2019 recruits (Boston and Brunelle).

However, with the early signing period underway, UConn doesn't have a commitment after Charli Collier decommitted from UConn and is set to be a headliner in the Texas recruiting class. I don't anticipate it being that way for much longer.

Olivia Nelson-Ododa, the No. 5 player in the ESPN rankings and No. 7 by Prospects Nation, is planning to make her announcement at her high school as is Williams. I reached out to Nelson-Ododa's high school coach and Kimberly Garren said, "there has not been a date set yet, but we will be doing something at school when she does."

That line jumped out at me as well. Maybe he has heard(off the record) from Coach Auriemma that they are in good position for at least one of the two?
 
Curious that Fuller tried to get a read on ONO, but decided not to bother CW. If he got some off the record insight from Geno on CW, he may also have been told not to bother Williams until after she announces her decision.

Fingers crossed

That's usually what stuff like that means. Given we have nothing concrete, all we can do is speculate, and the way he writes it, it almost sounds as if there is confidence regarding ONO, and he was calling ONO's coach to see if she would confirm what he "heard". I'd be thrilled if we got one. You don't want to know what I'd do if we got both! ;)

Jim Fuller understates: "This has been a rather interesting recruiting year at UConn."

Usually I am overly optimistic ... BUT ... I am worried UCONN will be shut out for 2018. Perhaps there is solace in: "I always view the recruiting process in two-year cycles as a small recruiting class in one year is almost always followed by a monster class so stay tuned." Jim Fuller
