2019/20 UConn Recruiting

[JordyG]

In the end Cox made the right decision.....thank goodness she didn't pick UConn because with all the physical issues relating to her health last year I think she may very well have transferred to be closer to her support system at home in Texas and we would all be sadly waving good bye.....

Indeed. I've always thought that if it weren't for her health issues UConn was a lock for Cox. I mean, if the sky wasn't blue our eyes would be different. But, you know.

Samantha B. In the middle of the season when time was most scare Geno went to see Samantha play.
Chris Daley went to see Christyn and I believe Shea and Marissa went to see other players in the 2020 class.

 

[JustinesGuy]

That's my point, it is NOT just KLS graduating, there is Napheesa and Azura also. 1 player class will not cut it.
Yes I would take Haley Jones over Samantha in the 2019 class.
The odds of her committing to Geno are pretty good since it apperas Geno has committed to her.

Well I also would want more than just her.
Hope she comes here. What a quality kid.

 

[JustinesGuy]

From your words to Gods ears! Off the court she's just as good as on the court. She's UCONN Material in every way.
She's a key piece to the puzzle. I'm
Crossing my fingers here.

On her last visit I was at the game and she was watching stone faced. I don't remember her clapping, standing up and applauding with the fans etc.

Do recruits suppose to be neutral while watching the game?

Bueckers and Boston were cheering for UConn. Fudd showed no emotion.

3/3

Aubrey Griffin exploded for 46 points and 9 rebounds Saturday to win Ossining's sectional title. They move on to state next.

Very interesting! I guess to each his own.

I would say every recruit handles it in their own way but those with multiple big time offers seem to usually be low key and respectful in their cheering without going overboard so that they don't send the wrong message to a specific school.......

Azzi Fudd scored 31 points on Friday (3/2) to get St John's into the district final.

Fudd then scored 22 points Saturday (3/3) to capture the title.

 

[Alydar]

Bueckers scored 25 in Hopkins' 81-40 second round game vs St Louis Park on Sat.

Assuming we don't get Magbegor my wish list is:

2019 Brunelle, Jones, Boston
2020 Buekers, Watson, Brink, Van Lith

 

[Sluconn Husky]

2019 Brunelle, Jones, Boston
2020 Buekers, Watson, Brink, Van Lith

Are we assuming that, or are you saying just in case?

Cashmere loses the state title 50-48 after losing last year by one point. They had the lead most of the 2nd half and a chance to tie in the final seconds but Van Lith missed a hounded shot.

Van Lith had 21 of her team's 23 points at halftime and finished with 36 points and 7 rebounds.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tough luck for Van Lith. She has two more chances to win a Title.

Lynden Christian has won 3 of the last 5, plus one other Championship and a Runner Up in a 10 year period.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Van Lith did earn a fan in the loss:

Fudd is actually a pretty shy person so doesn't surprise me that she was quiet. She is also really intense about basketball so she was probably studying the xs and os of the game rather than cheering.

3/3

Leilani Correa had 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 steals in Rutgers Prep's semifinal win of the Non-Public B South tournament.

Any confirmation of Geno being at this game?

Any confirmation of Geno being at this game?

Haven't heard anything since Thursday and I doubt he'd be there for a game that didn't end until 10 PM when he has to coach the next day.

I like her game

 

[TitleTown]

Just in case.

3/3

Kylee Watson had 18 points and 4 blocks as Mainland had to rally to reach the regional final on Saturday.

One of the reason I keep reminding people that Haley Jones will be UCONN ready on day one is because of the program (Mitty) & the coach (Sue Phillips) who has coach KLS, Durr, and Lauren Cox and many others at USA basketball. This is a video from 2017 in which Haley appears often but I don't believe she is mentioned. Note how well the practices and emphais mirror UCONN, attention to detail , conditioning, emphasis on communication, senior leadership, right down to using male practice players.

When Haley steps unto the floor for her first UCONN practice she will feel right at home.
