2019/20 UConn Recruiting

[Charliebball]

To my knowledge he only saw Van Lith in AAU action. I haven't heard of anyone from UConn making the trek to see her in Washington. Or Brink in Oregon though she obviously visited Storrs.

right but even that counts for something I think...........he doesn't watch them in person if he isn't very interested as they have already been screened by one of the other coaches.........clearly multiple visits out of state is surely a better indicator

2/28

Kylee Watson scored 17 points Wednesday to lead Mainland to the semis of their playoff tourney.

for instance Watson is fairly close geographically and has made the trip to Storrs so I can only assume that she isn't as high a priority at this time........

Makes sense.

The Geno trip to Massachusetts must mean UConn is in Boston's undisclosed final six.

 

[CocoHusky]

Geno is making clear who he wants to coach with these visits......Boston, Brunelle, Bueckers, Fudd, Jones, Van Lith......did he see anybody else that I might have forgotten?

Someone on the staff saw Jordan Horston, Leilani Correa recently ( this calendar year) and Charisma Osborne (during the UCLA trip out west). Still think one of the three end up at UCONN.

To the best of your knowledge has Geno personally watched every recruit that has eventually chosen to attend UConn?

Tiffany Hayes is the only one that comes to mind who allegedly got and accepted a UCONN offer without ever visiting UCONN.

And of course I don't think they had seen Sveta live before they met her at the airport.

I think one of Geno books said that someone on the staff had seen Sveta play overseas. I'll have to go look that up when I get home.

Hmmm, I don't remember that. But wouldn't be the first time I didn't remember something.

I wish I were hearing more about UConn and "Amihere. To me she looks like Gabby five inches taller. Am I missing something?

Me too. I can't help but think that her ACL tear is keeping her out of the box scores and off the front pages. There is so much raw physical talent there.

Silence might be golden and no news might be good news. IMO though don't see where UCONN would have room (minutes) for Amihere with ONO, Ezi, Boston & Baby Bruney in the same front court and I would take any of the four before Amihere. Conversely if any of these three (Ezi, Boston & Baby Bruney) decide not to come Amihere would be an outstanding fall back as would Kennedy Brown.

Didn’t Mikayla Coombs accept the verbal offer before coming to campus?

It appears so. But the UCONN staff had been recruiting her since she was in 9th grade and Shea and Geno had an in home vist with her as part of the recruiting process.

Let's hope so. It certainly would provide excellent "fodder" this summer for us to chew on.

UConn trivia for $2,000, Alex. Outstanding, Coco.

There's a rumor that Geno's in Washington tonight for Cashmere's playoff game.

Not confirmed yet but I'll keep hunting.

If true I bet it's the first time Geno has ever found himself in Yakima, WA. The SunDome! Not to be confused w/ the one in Tampa, FL.

Sadly, I don't think he's there. The entire Baylor staff is on hand though.

Nooooo! Kim can't have Van Lith. If she leaves the West Coast, I can handle it being for UConn. Not Baylor though.

3/1

Cashmere struggled but advanced to the state semis with a 45-36 win.

Van Lith ended up with 23 points and 8 rebounds but it wasn't the greatest game for her.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

3/1

Saylor Poffenbarger's season ends in her regional semifinal with a 2-pt loss.

Poffenbarger had 22 points, 17 rebounds, and 5 assists.
