2020/21 UConn Recruiting

why are we worrying about why HJ chose Stanford? Clearly it's one of the finest schools in the world never mind the country, it's close to home, it has a hall of fame coach, has several other really good players coming in and is part of a strong basketball conference........................seems like a pretty obvious choice if she wanted to stay out west......................the only thing it illustrates to me is that you better be clear that any West Coast recruit (Hailey Van Lith) is really serious about coming East before you put all your eggs in her basket................or is it all her eggs in your basket? Oh well either or...............:rolleyes:

Add Anaya Boyd to the list of players that UCONN evaluated this summer. She is 21 in prospectsnation and 35 in Hoopgurlz.
“Their AAU coach, Jay Moore, we have great communication,” King said. “He always lets me know if their is an offer. I still see them as so much more they can be, but when UConn called and said they would be looking at them this summer I was like, ‘Wow, UConn is calling.”

And I really wish you would come down off your high horse and stop these imperious, overblown responses to intelligent posters. He is not insulting anyone's intelligence, he is trying to make a point. And it's a good one. He is actually saying, rhetorically, that she is intelligent enough to consider SOS.

Your constant need to take some piece of what someone says and interpret it overly literally just to generate ammunition in your desire to win some competition is obnoxious and detracts from the quality of the discussions and from the quality of the board.

I really wish you would stop.

The point which could easily have been made without questioning the intelligence of the player (TWICE)!

If she doesn't have the intelligence to compare UConn's SOS over the last 5 or 6 years to any other team in wcbb then she was never UConn material.

IMHO if a player swallows that sales pitch (lack of tough UConn opponents) then they lack some aspect(s) of intelligence.

I've often wondered whether players have a preference in playing with a male or female coach or whether the race of the coach was ever taken into consideration...I'd like to think that it really didn't matter on any of these but recruits are entitled to make that decision for themselves

I know of situations where race and/or gender mattered, especially with male players.
 
Uconn has certainly seen this player who is Olivia Miles' back court partner and is a bit under the radar ..........

Blair Academy (NJ) 2021 Dominique Darius @queenballa123 has some outstanding leadership qualities. She is talented physically & skill wise and brings a work(wo)manlike fundamental approach to the game. Coach on the floor,

Reading is fundamental. Nobody ever said that "toughness of schedule" was a significant factor in her decision other than the speculation and tea leaf reading by some here.

I can't imagine that race and/or gender don't matter to a lot of recruits. Gender certainly mattered to Taurasi: "I want to play for a man. I don't want a woman yelling at me. If I want to be yelled at by a woman I can get the from my mom."

I imagine some recruits may want a kind of father figure.................for others that's possibly a bad thing..........

At this point I would guess that it's at least as important that she see him, as opposed to Geno seeing her.

you bet................I think by now he's somehow figured out that she can play basketball...........it's all about making the trek to show their level of interest............wouldn't be surprised if the big programs have already blocked out hotel rooms to see her play during the next year.......

Geno was on hand to watch Azzi Fudd score her 1,000th point yesterday (12/15). Only saw 14 minutes of her on the court though.
Expand ...
The important point is that Azzi saw Geno there. Coach doesn't need to see Azzi play more to evaluate her. He knows that she has Maya Moore potential.

12/15

Azzi Fudd scored 26 points in 14 minutes in the first of two games Saturday.

Sonia Citron had 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Jillian Hollingshead scored 19 points.

26 points in 14 minutes! Azzi could score 40-50 pretty much any time she wants. I hope to watch her in a couple of weeks. Best wishes to her and SJC at the TOC. That's the tourney where players become legendary.

Just stop. That's two agreements today. Any more and my head will explode. ;)

don't worry weren't you the one that made reference to a clock being right twice a day?

Jasmine Lister was in this summer to watch the team. Wereshe looking at both Boyd and Genesis Bryant? I had figured it was the latter but perhaps it was indeed both.

How many scholarship slots will be available in 2020?
Expand ...


Right now it would be 10 available depending on what if any additions (transfers/international) are made prior to next year.
 
You can watch most of the first half of Azzi Fudd's game from Saturday night in front of Geno below. For some reason the rest of the game isn't there. Starts around the 5:26:00 mark.

 
Do we know if UConn is looking at any international students that could possibly sign in the spring and join Griffin in the class of 2019?

Gee, my old high school's team is in that list of teams in the tournament.
 
Muffett & Coach Ivey seem to stalk Azzi very fondly as well. A few times in the game with SJC & Christ the king Azzi glanced over to muffet with mcgraw giving a nod of good job it seemeed.

I think we can safely say one such team is based in northern Indiana. ;)

ND/Fudd family are very much in the "mutual interest" zone and have been for years. Azzi was the youngest participant in the "recruitapalooza"/"Nielefest" gathering in 2017 and has been back to the ND campus since then. Gosh knows how many times a member of the Irish staff has been to something Azzi has performed in, much like Geno and Chris D.

Ditto with "Pistol" Paige Bueckers: the week that Geno went to see a game, Muffet went to Hopkins HS to see a practice.

At some point, these two families are probably thinking of inviting Aunt Muffet and Uncle Geno for the next holiday spread....;):rolleyes:
