2019/20 UConn Recruiting

pretty good for the #56 player in the country..............so much for the Ossining curse.................certainly UConn feels Horston and Jones are not sure things.............this is a good insurance policy.............

Wow, hard to see her not accepting if reporting is accurate.

That will make the hunt for Horston and Jones really interesting.

Even Amihere considering Griffin's proclivity to post up and play like a forward.

there's certainly room for the three of them............I view Amihere as a 4 or 5..........an occasional Griffin post up shouldn't be an issue

I don’t think a commitment from Griffin will affect Horston one bit. Horston is a guard. Jones can play 2/3/4 so she is more likely to take notice but it’s teenage girls. Who knows.

"Certainly UConn feels"?
The only thing I'm certain of is that none of us knows how "Uconn feels"

Don't forget that the "initial" reporting that Aubrey was down to UCONN and Louisville has already been corrected. Aubrey is also looking at Mississippi State and UNC and ????.

South Carolina.

But her father was reported as saying UConn is her dream school.

New local report on Azzi Fudd. The quote below was given last fall, keep in mind.


"It’s incredible because a few years ago I never thought I would get this good," Fudd told WUSA9 last October. "You don’t just see that so thinking about what my future looks like...I’ve have no idea what it holds, but I hope its something good like being a starter at the University of Connecticut."


Va. basketball phenom lives up to the hype

do you think that UConn would have offered her at this point if they had Horston and Jones locked up? As much as I like her game I'm not so certain about that...

Charlie my friend, I have no idea. I'm certain of that.

I’m confused why you keep asking about Horston with relation to Griffin. Horston is a guard. Griffin is not. The 2 could play and start together with no issue.
 
All-Iowa won the Nike Nationals in Chicago behind Caitlin Clark. Elite 2021 prospect Rayah Marshall was runner up on the Cal Storm. Clark scored 23 in the final, Marshall 14.

Yes, I do. I think Coach Auriemma learned his lesson with Charli Collier, that a verbal means absolutely nothing.
 
I think some would take her verbal as evidence that UConn had been rejected by other, more highly ranked players and would take her verbal to another school as evidence that UConn is losing it's attraction to top players. :rolleyes:

There certainly have been years when other schools have out-recruited UConn but if we were to keep a rolling 3 year list of signed recruits by rank, UConn would be on top by a wide margin in every one. But all it takes is one year without 2 or 3 top 5 players and to some the sky is falling. :)

Just look how doomed UCONN is! Samantha Brunelle is out here "recruiting" for ND. Aliyah Boston is "hesitating" to commit to UCONN. Aubrey "will definitely commit" and since she's only #56 in the class that is obviously going to drive #1 (Jones) and #2 (Horston) away from UCONN. Seriously? I don't even know why Geno bothers recruiting at all.

I think Collier's case was pretty unusual as she suffered the loss of a loved one and lived through a devastating hurricane which would make anybody think twice about leaving one's family .................It's early but off the top of my head I can't think of anther recruit that verbaled to UConn and then changed their mind in recent memory

really more a question of numbers, I'm sure all three could play at the same time as they all can play multiple positions...............while Griffin is listed as a wing I've seen her play both guard positions in high school............I've read that Horston plays either guard position and is also fully capable of playing the wing and Jones can play pretty much every position other then the post............add in Boston and you have another four recruit class...........I haven't looked at the numbers but lot's of talent in the 2020 class..........

A few weeks ago, UConn reportedly was optimistic about Jones and Horston. That doesn’t mean we’ll get them, but we have strong relationships with them. After UConn got a class of 2 last year, I could see Geno going as high as 5 this year: Amihere, Boston, Griffin, Horston, and Jones. I don’t think anyone scares anyone else away. Realistically, I think we’re more likely to get 3 or 4, but 5 is possible.

I'm looking for all 5 of them too. That is a complete rotation. Boston-5, Amihere-4, Jones-3, Griffin-2, and Horston-1. None of them should be put off by the others.

I think Griffin is more of a 3. Swap her with Jones.

There may be some overlap, but Geno will figure it out.

The key points: 5 players may not be too many; it’s possible we will get all of them.

That would be really satisfying.
 
Wait until you see Caroline Ducharme! She is one of those ( DT and Maya type). We get one every now and then. It's all gravy!!!!
