2020/21 UConn Recruiting

[DaBball]

Congrats Hailey Van Lith! Anyone know how this team was chosen?

 

[MilfordHusky]

Is that a combo of the top 2 teams?

Hailey Van Lith was a Junior Olympics Gold Medalist in the 3 x 3 last fall (with Bueckers, Boston, and Brunelle).

Aaliyah Edwards vs Laeticia Amihere back in December. Edwards had a big 3rd quarter.

Edwards #24 in white, Amihere #15 in purple.

Wasn’t she like a 6’2” PG?

Yea, listed at 6-2 or 6-3. Played some 1 and 2.

No, because Rickea’s team lost early, either in the semis or before. Wonder why they wouldn’t let the whole championship team go.

That's a different approach in team selection. I also wonder why.

Hannah Gusters posted on her Instagram story today that she is announcing her commitment soon. I may be late to the party on this but are we still pursuing her or is this a long shot?

Definitely still pursuing her. I’m going to guess Baylor or UConn. Those were her only two home visits I think (don’t remember if Texas did too).

Geno and CD had a home visit with her on March 4th so that's affirmative.

It might mean nothing, but Gusters re-tweeted both Paige Bueckers' verbal announcement tweet, and Bueckers' tweet of support to Azzi Fudd after Fudd's injury.

December? Amihere looks good no brace of noticeable straining. Were we able to confirm if she had a second injury which required surgery and rehab at South Carolina?

Ah, the ND fan comes through. I knew you guys were good for something.

Thanks!

Texas was the third home visit. Seems to be one of those three.

 

[Go/huskies]

Has Gusters been to UConn?

 

[UConnCat]

Has Gusters been to UConn?

yes

 

[Go/huskies]

yes

That’s good to hear, hopefully she will pick UConn.

Gusters received her scholarship offer while attending First Night weekend.

I love when you come swooping in with some actual facts.

It’s going to be hard to sway her away from Texas and Baylor!!!! And UCONN hasn’t had luck on landing any bigs the past few years. We were very lucky to have landed Olivia. Texas is so overrated not sure why top recruits even consider going there.. just don’t see player development like I see at Baylor .... most Texan kids stay home so I would be shocked if we land her

Bigby and Isai are AAU teammates. I know who will be watching the Cal Stars this summer....

hopefully we're going to see Paige Buecker's drawing power in the coming weeks.................Gusters would be a great place to start..................
