2019/20 UConn Recruiting

Perhaps old news, but confirmation from the Worldwide Leader on the dates for Boston's last two official visits
 
Aliyah's college decision is pending. She has already visited Notre Dame and Ohio State and will tour South Carolina's campus Oct. 25-28. Connecticut will get the last word and will try to close the deal Nov. 1-4.

Boston, an A/B student who has enjoyed learning Spanish, is interested in studying communications, and she knows exactly what she is looking for in a school.

"Since I left St. Thomas when I was 12, family atmosphere is the main thing I'm looking for in a college program," Boston said. "Every college coach talks about it, but you can always tell when it's real."

Reading the espn article it states Boston will travel home for high school tournament 11/17 to 11/23 . Seems that is same time UCOnn will be there for Paradise Jam. She could announce with Geno.

I notice that also, unless something has changed NCAA official visits are limited to 48 Hours on campus. Friday to sunday usually so that would be Nov 2-4.

Boston is perfect for UConn and UConn perfect for her. You look at all the past Huskies playing in the pros and the coaching they received put a lot of money in their pockets.

While I was doing some surfing on the net, I came across this article on Aliyah Boston. One particular passage got my attention: The Worcester team (Boston's HS basketball team) will travel to St. Thomas Nov. 17-23. Aliyah's parents of course will be there. Boston plans to sign with her national letter of intent during her trip home. This year's early signing period for Division I college basketball is Nov. 14-21.

Then it dawned on me, the UConn women's basketball team will also be in St. Thomas Nov 20-24 for the Paradise Jam Tournament. What a coincidence. The dates over lap. You know their paths will cross on several occasions during that time. An assistant coach (Geno if their game times don't clash) from UConn will attend all of her games, and if her schedule permits, she will attend as many of UConn's games as she can.

What a "fortuitous" and final opportunity for Geno and staff to "close the deal" with Aliyah and her parents. Remember: Boston plans to sign with her national letter of intent during her trip home, right after spending 4 days in a small city with UConn. Keeping our fingers crossed, keeping hope alive.

Hmm. I wonder if she already knows it's UConn and planning the event that thevtop kids enjoy these days....She could sign at half time of a UConn game...

You're right. Her parents will be there. You know she would want them to be at her reveal, and be part of the announcement. How nice would it be to make her announcement during half-time of a UConn game, and have all of her teammates join in the announcement and celebration?

She could sign the LOI on the spot, then UConn could issue a press release announcing her signing.
Once the ink was dry, Geno could also talk to the news media about her signing. Maybe UConn would have some sort of private celebration afterwards for players (both teams), coaches, families, etc. I can't think of a better scenario. That would be one heck of a road trip. Sweep the the 3 game tournament and bag a coveted recruit. Sweet!!

Hope you are correct. I go back to watching Geno in high school and for some unknown reason, feel Boston is one of those recruits that will take UConn to NCAA's as well as help her grow to pros.

And here I thought I the correct way to sign one's LOI was on the hood of a car...

Signing a LOI on the hood of a car is "A" way, not the only way. If I'm Geno, I'll take her LOI any way she wants to give it to me!!! ;)

First time posted. More extended video from the Jamal Crawford invitation event in Seattle. If UConn does not get Horston I have to believe the fullcourt press will be on for Van Lith to go along with Bueckers. Leilani Kapinus is intriguing too but not certain she's a guard long term.

I believe she is going to do that. As a virgin islander I will be happy if she does. She will be our female "Tim Duncan" and our local media will constantly follow up on her.

I prefer they announce their commitment to UConn, on Twitter. Just a few days after their official visit :rolleyes:

Sorry, but as a virgin islander, I prefer her to do it HERE . In our paradise!
