2019/20 UConn Recruiting

[Sluconn Husky]

Whatever happened to us recruiting Zia Cooke anyone know??

It stopped at some point. Cooke said UConn was full for the 2019 class which of course isn't the case.

Zia Cooke has dropped UCONN form her list of schools stating: UCONN was not an option for her because they were "full".

Lately I've decided we need to have a multiverse, so a player can go to various different colleges in alternate dimensions or realities, and then we can really see the difference in development of a player based on coaching.

Since that probably isn't a possibility, I'm pretty sure if Bonnie or Karlie S. had gone to UConn, they would not have been as good as Katie Lou. It wasn't just because they didn't play for Geno. Conversely if KLS had gone to Stanford she still would've ended up the best of the 3. But again, if only we had a dang multiverse to play with, then we could know some of these things for sure.

With the magic of editing, you could make a movie: "Parallel Lives: The Samuelsson Sisters," directed by Christopher Nolan (he's got the imagination for it). And all three played by a more athletic version of Saoirse Ronan.

<<In CW's picture for this it appears as though she has a long tattoo down the inside of her left forearm. That's gonna take a big band-aid.>>

A half sleeve would probably be more comfortable and less distracting.....unless the tat in question is a temp (can't remember the term for them).

While we will likely never know answer, wonder if this policy ever affects a recruit's decision?

PBR's Mark Williams took in last week's AAU tourney in Pennsylvania. He watched plenty of big names including:

2019 Super Recruit Jordan Horston was dynamite all weekend, highlighted by a 35-point performance in the semifinals.

UCONN TRIO TAKEN 4th, 6th & 10th IN WNBA FIRST ROUND

Talking about a picture (and program) that speaks for itself.............if potential UConn recruits can't look at this picture and do the math (3 for 3), they're probably not UConn material.

Note - The last 5 UConn graduates ALL got drafted into the league including Saniya Chong and Natalie Butler. That's 5 out of 5!!!

Haley Jones and Cameron Brink will both play on the same AAU team, the Cal Stars, this summer. Highly regarded Brook Demetre also on that squad as well as Angel Jackson and Stanford recruit Hannah Jump.

Lots of talent!

Anyone know how well Hannah Jump can elevate?

I know the main reason/interest in this post belong to Ms. Jones and Ms. Brink. But I also focused on another player.

A few weeks back Coco and I were going back and forth about Hannah Jump possibly playing for England. I just found this article that confirms her playing for England because she is, well...an English citizen. Her dad is English and played basketball in college there and she was born in England.

She, interestingly enough, is known more for her jump shooting at this point (see my other post for a link to an article).

Close to five feet if she gets a running Jump start.

UConn coaches should be on Demetre like white on rice. Ridiculous talent, footwork, and body control at 6-2 for a rising sophomore.

She averaged 15.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting 52% as a freshmen.

I believe that a certain Mater Dei grad was back at her alma mater as a WNBA intern this season. You know, #23 with the perfect ball rotation and the big smile. She also helped recruit Stewie.

Brunelle will verbal to Uconn on Sunday. The future is CD, Ono, MW, CW and SB. New history. Same traditions.

Either you haven’t read closely or you are very skeptical. Sam will commit to ND tomorrow. It’s been discussed at length.

Or @MDoggie knows something we all don't.

Dillon..........if ND gets Brunelle and you already have Peoples, how many more '19 players does ND have room for?
