Jatarie White is listed as a senior but she had to sit a year. Astin did a good job getting her to transfer to Austin. Maybe she'd like to find out what it's liked to be coached.

UConn needs someone better than she is, imo.

We lost Boston who went to dozens of UCONN games... makes u think!!! Haley jones chose Stanford because she wanted to play in a conference that would challenge her every night and have the opportunity to win a national title. If Geno misses out in 20 then we all know the reasons why. Lastly Geno won’t be coaching forever and the recruiting is slipping big time. Signing 2 top recruits isn’t going to get the job done.. look at our bench the last 3 years .. and next year will be a long and bad year. Fans don’t want to face the reality that’s coming and boy it’s coming. If we don’t sign any grad students off season we will have a roster of 8 people. Who’s starting? Who’s coming off the bench.. u see what happens when we go to our bench.. non existence .. to compete at the highest level u need talent and talent coming of the bench that will make a impact .. UCONN doesn’t have it and will sure won’t have it next year. Williams, ono , Walker and dangerfied won’t get the job done with bent , Irwin and Coombs coming off the bench well one of those players will have to start... boutouy that’s if she comes back next year. The off-season is critical or were looking at multiple walkons. Griffin will add athletisim but she will only be a freshmen and we know how that goes in Genos system. Maybe his system worked all these years but it’s no longer working and in today’s world kids and recruiting are different and Geno needs to adapt or our dynasty of a program will falter and falter mighty quick

Funny that you use the phrase "makes you think," when I see precious little of it in your post.

Paige is not going to UCONN .. Geno once again will lose out on many recruits. As long as UCONN is in the horendus American recruits are going elsewhere. Kids want to be challenged not go into a conference where there going to win everynight buy 40. Sadly UCONN’s dynasty is coming to a end.. everyone is ready to jump over 2 losses , be prepared for next season.,, it’s going to be bad in so many ways.

Where is she (Paige) going? Did she announce something I have missed?

That's a snippet from a longer interview. She also had other interviews. Yes, she does mention the Pac-12, which I knew. Before that, she mentions family atmosphere at the Farm. I still don't know where the conference ranked in her decision criteria. It wasn't #1. It may have been #2 or #5. If Haley were living in Kansas City or Worcester, Mass., for example, I think we would have gotten her.
 
Some highlights of Azzi from the first part of this season. I like the play where she inbounds the ball with a lob pass to Malu, who tips it to the corner as Azzi makes a cut there to receive the pass and take an open 3-pointer.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune's prep athlete-of-the-week:


Prep athletes of the week: Bright lights suit Hopkins' Paige Bueckers just fine


The superstar walked off the court Friday at Hopkins after a one-for-the-ages performance in the biggest game of the season and pointed toward a locker room that she would never reach. Too many fans wanting to share in this special night, with congratulations and high-fives and back pats.


Finally, after a reporter caught up to her, Bueckers turned, smiling, ready to recall a truly scintillating performance.

Already considered among the best girls’ basketball players in Minnesota high school history, the 6-foot junior guard carried the Royals to a 69-66 victory over Wayzata. She scored 43 points, a career high, with an array of pull-up jumpers, three-pointers, drives to the hoop and deadeye free throw shooting. While doing so, she went over the 2,000-point mark for her career, adding to a special evening for a player who has had many of them in her career.

“It was a really big game for me,” said Bueckers, one of the nation’s most highly coveted college recruits. “When the bright lights are on, I try to show out and lead this team."


Which she did. The rest of the Royals struggled against Wayzata’s size and savvy, but Bueckers’ transcendant talent and experience in big games was enough to lift the team to victory.

As Hopkins coach Brian Cosgriff said after the game, “She was Superwoman tonight.”

Anna and Aleksandra Makurat. Aleksandra also goes by Ola and transferred from Liberty to Utah. She's a 6'3" player who will be eligible as a redshirt junior next year. So, the older sister decided to play WCBB in the U.S.

21’ 6’0 Guard Taylor Bigby up for National Player of the week honors by USA Today averaged 20.2 pts and 4.6 rebounds per game last week
 
One last chance for Gusters:


Irving MacArthur will learn if it will gain five-star recruit Hannah Gusters for the playoffs or if the 6-4 junior post player will have to sit out the rest of the season after transferring to MacArthur from 10-time state champion Duncanville in December. The UIL will hear an appeal by Gusters at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Austin, the last shot that Gusters has at becoming eligible.

Aubrey Griffin scored 20 points in another Ossining rout Tuesday (2/5).

Amari DeBerry scored 15 points and Jillian Hollingshead had 12 points and 13 rebounds Monday (2/4).

That Ossining game:

Ossining 87 Scarsdale 55.
It was 32-10 after one quarter...I assume the coach is being cautious with Aubrey's minutes especially in blow-outs.

Next up: Friday February 8.
 
2/5

Azzi Fudd: 23 points

Saylor Poffenbarger: 16 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks

Sasha Goforth: 10 points

For competition purposes, the real season is the summers in most parts of the country. Coaches like to evaluate against regional and national level kids. Especially the big kids. They usually don’t have other bigs good enough to push them in their local areas so they sometimes play down to the competition and pick up some bad habits. Some metro areas aren’t bad but the more rural, the more it applies IMO.

Doubt it has much bearing, if any. Speaking for soccer recruiting, the college coaches pay virtually no attention to the high school season. Recruiting and evaluation is done during the club season. High school level of play and competition is too inconsistent to provide any real value for scouting and evaluation. Increasingly common for top players to skip high school and train to prepare for club season.

how about just the idea that a player would transfer from a very successful program without even thinking about the consequences?

Not good research or decision-making, but I'd take her.
