2019/20 UConn Recruiting

Not everyone wants to be coached and trained by one the greatest basketball coaches of all time, I guess. If it were my profession I'd bend over backwards to make that happen, but then again I'll never be a pro baller since I keep going undrafted year after year.

Getting mentored by the greatest player ever from your country, getting paid, while staying home with your family and friends, isn't bad either.
 
Do you guys think that we still have a shot with Brunelle or do you think that ship has sailed?

Based on my reading of the BY, I think it’s possible but no longer probable.

But I want the entire 3x3 team: Brunelle, Boston, Bueckers, and VanLith.

Nothing to be sorry about. UCONN is going to just fine without Ezi! ONO is dunking and therefore healthy. CW and ONO will be part of the UCONN rotation next year out of necessity.
That is a solid 7 man rotation which is not much different than this year the notable exception being UCONN losing its 2 best defenders to graduation in Kia and Gabby. The landscape also changes significantly, among the teams from this season only ND, Baylor & Oregon will put more talent on the floor. New transfer rules are also coming for next season which could further alter the landscape.

The funny thing was how many people were talking like it was a lock she was coming. I thought there was some inside info I was not privy too.

I don't think we ever had a shot with Brunelle, that is why Coach Auriemma backed off on recruiting her hard. Coach Auriemma has said multiple times that his recruiting method is to find the players that are a fit, have shown interest in UConn, and then go after them real hard and to not waste time on players you have no chance of getting. I think Brunelle is a huge ND lean and that is why UConn is not recruiting her as hard anymore. You have to remember these coaches hear a lot more than we do.

I think UConn ends up with Amihere, Jones, and Boston for the 2019 class.

I know your right, but you were her biggest champion and I thought you'd be a bit bummed. I just wanted to make sure your ok. Downing some cadbury eggs always makes me feel better.
I will feel the same way if BB sails to ND.
I just wanted to make sure you were good..

Yea, that's a tough one to pass up.
 
Even for the Boneyard, this particular sub-thread about Brunelle is groaning under a load of assumptions, unsupported claims to "inside" knowledge, maybe's, speculations, could be's, and probablies — often masquerading as confident assertions. I just hope it doesn't produce sleepless nights or ulcers.

I think you are over gloating here. I don't ever recall anyone saying Ezi coming to UCONN was a lock. Many more people including the UCLA fans on the board said that if Ezi were leaving Australia it would be for UCONN. No inside information required for this just a reasonable consideration of the merits of each program starting with Geno as her coach.

Coco- Posters had her in there starting line up for next year! I was like wait what? Did she commit? I had to scroll the threads thinking I missed something. I talking about real starting line ups not like if we get her i would slide her in here type of thing..... Just the vibe I was getting as I read the blogs...

Im not giving up on BB until she chooses another team to play for. When She does I will wish her the best and move on. Until then I'm still hoping for her to land in storrs.

I went back and checked, could not find a single proposed starting lineup for 2018-19 season which included Ezi.

I got to hand it to you. You are such a unique poster on here. I just wanted to lend you justine guy's shoulder cause I know you were so Pro Ezi yet we still seem to never find a common ground.
IDK Coco, I just DK.

Not sure that this is entirely true.

Ezi Magbegor is a long and agile faceup-4 (power forward). Sam Brunelle is a versatile perimeter threat, but primarily a 3 (small forward) in college. They do not play the same position, and UConn is not in a scholarship crunch.

Now, perhaps Brunelle is concerned about her role on the team, with the talent of Williams, Walker, Nelson-Ododa, and Magbegor (with a senior Dangerfield at the point). Certainly a possibility. But a commitment from Ezi does not necessarily correlate to a "cooling down" on Brunelle (assuming that UConn has, in fact, "cooled down" on Brunelle).

I’m not for sure if we cooled down on her that’s why I said IF. So playing time can be a issue for her. Maybe she can and will play right away somewhere else but I do see her getting major minutes regardless who’s on the team.
 
Don't know if UConn is still interested in Charisma Osborne but here's a video of her:

I’d like to have Sam too, but that’s a fabulous trio!!

It is not every day girls basketball players in Western New York receive attention from the top Division I colleges, but Amari DeBerry is not your typical player.

The 6-foot-5 freshman forward/center from Williamsville South has received interest from between 25 to 30 Division I schools, including 2017 national champion South Carolina, Connecticut, Louisville, West Virginia, Virginia, Notre Dame, Florida and UCLA.

...

DeBerry led the Lady Billies with 473 points (18.92 per game) and 105 blocks (4.2), was second with 225 rebounds (9), and third with 65 steals (2.6). She also handed out 25 assists.

...

DeBerry, who will turn 15 this summer, will stay busy in the offseason. She will play for the Philadelphia Belles 17U Elite Youth Basketball League — one of the nation’s premiere travel programs — and is trying out for the 2018 U17 USA junior national team in May at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the hopes of competing in the International Basketball Federation’s U17 World Cup in Minsk, Belarus, July 21-29.

Boston has been to a few UConn games this season, does anyone know if she’s appeared on any other college campus as often as she was at UConn?
 
placing this here because I think UConn scouted her a while back......no idea if there is any current interest
