Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2705504, member: 6620"] Good points on all players. I can understand degrees of trepidation in regards to this class and followers of programs (err, UConn and ND) that aim high and keep their cards relatively close to the vest. (Of course in this day of ubiquitous devices that take pictures and transmit pronto, it's a tad difficult to not show on-site presence Luckily, that does not seem to have discerned brain waves....yet :rolleyes:) Looking at 2019, three names are apparently big targets for UConn (and ND for that matter). Here they are, plus a comment or two: - Haley Jones. Wing. Small Forward. Uber talented. I'd think the major question is: will Haley leave the left coast? The Bay Area, even? - Aliyah Boston, Post. Apparently, the focus of UConn's attention over another Nat'l. Team member. However, what's with that Finalist List of hers? Who else is on it? Apparently, what's his name (that would be Jeff Walz here) is (omni)present, as usual. And, yes, the Irish are interested. - Laeticia Amihere. Whew, if Boston is playing it close, Ms. Amihere has employed Maxwell's Smart "Cone of Silence." Still has a double-digit list of potential schools and apparently has not left south Ontario yet for campus visits. How is the ACL/MCL recovery going? Some posters worry about putting all the eggs in one basket but I think programs like UConn, ND, Stanford are so looking for certain kinds of players/persons, that this is the process. Aim high, stay high. It allows you to attain the success you're after because you've got the right people doing it. And since the Huskies and Irish play so few people (through choice or circumstance), it's even more imperative. None of these schools are short-sighted. In 2019, I'm sure there are some plan B's, as Coco graciously listed a few for the Huskies last week. ND's got a few, too: Fran Belibi for that power forward slot, if Amihere is not right and tight (but she's also got Stanford); and, Sydnee Roby, a banger from Milwaukee for low post. Of course, with Anaya Peoples, ND is not really in the game for a point guard and the Irish have three guards in Class of 2018 so.... ...they can also push hard for 2020, in which UConn will do the same.
