And if you play smash mouth basketball, you shouldn’t expect the refs to bail you out at the last second. Carrington had an open jumper one dribble before she got to Aaliyah and Olivia. i suspect Kim instructed her to get fouled. Sometimes that works on the refs, but not often in the closing seconds of a huge game. The real reason they lost is because they couldn’t keep Paige from scoring when it mattered.

An aspect of that play which (to my knowledge) no one has commented on is that after Dijonae took and missed the shot on which she claimed she was fouled, Christyn boxed out Nalyssa Smith to get the rebound. Given Nalyssa's size advantage over Christyn, if she had been hustling as she should have been, she could and should have grabbed that rebound and had a putback to win the game for Baylor. Christyn had just missed two crucial free throws, so she deserves credit for playing alertly and positioning herself for the rebound rather than moping about the missed free throws.

The times are a changing with NIL etc. Did anyone else notice that the official UCONN WBB roster now list twitter, Instagram and TicTok for all the players?

I don't think this is solely because of NIL. I've noticed this with other teams for a few years. Social media engagement is just as important for the programs as it is for the players.

12 players!

Along with reese transferring to LSU i doubt she leaves there saw her on bourbon street with hannah Gusters during music festival she was so tall and having a great time. She will finish her career at LSU for sure.

I hope she doesn't adapt the Gusters fitness program.

When looking at the roster, I thought for a moment that I had somehow transferred over to the USF website. Five of the first 6 players listed were non-USA citizens

Ok, so rather than have a weird status for Jana, I'm just going to include her with this year's freshman class. Again, no assumptions made on players opting to take redshirt years, as the whole covid year was hard enough to deal with, LOL.

What is the point of this chart? It is wrong. Jana and Ice will technically be first year players next year... so they should be in with Arnold, Samuels, and Shade.

Disagree. They are both freshmen right now, as they are enrolled at UConn. I'm not counting redshirt years as there's no guarantee that a player will take it, and not assuming anything regarding Jana's status as to how long she stays/plays.

Off topic but it’s weird to NOT see a ranking number next to Lou’s name. How was she not heavily sought after at start of her college career?

Foreign players frequently are not ranked on US HS recruiting lists. There is an occasional Canadian player ranked. But that’s about it. Lou played in France and was certainly “under the radar” before showing up at mid-major Fairfield U.

Probably not playing an exhausting AAU schedule.

I understand the point of this chart and find it very informational and am really, really glad that the effort is put in by @BRS24 to produce and update it.

Update day! (yes, I'm late, however a field trip with a 3rd grader to Disney ...)

Glad to see you added LLS. I still don't understand what the numerals represent in each chart.

HS Rankings. All a bit subjective, however it's just a reference to see where recruits were ranked.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that Aubrey returns next year. She is playing amazing basketball. Has definitely impressed me a bunch. If she does return the team will have 14 active players. And, I don't care about minutes played. Its a team game and their goal is an NCAA title.

CD mentioned 14 players in an interview. The coaches are assuming that she is returning, so that limb is rather large.

Oh, that's right. Didn't think about that. Thanks!

 

[HuskylnSC]

Just in confusing the issue a bit more Aubrey has available a redshirt year and a COVID year after this year. She could be working on her Phd. while playing

 

[hoopsfan22]

I'll just be happy if Aubrey, Nika, and Paige are all back next year. Not gonna be a ton of minutes to go around if those three all come back with Aaliyah and Azzi.

 

[Bills Fan]

Not a big deal but I think ICE should be included with her recruiting class-a Fr this year with AP and Ines. In the same manner, I think Jana is a part of the next year recruiting class with KK, AS and Q. I don't see why we would group her into this Freshman class UNLESS SHE PLAYS THIS YEAR.

Appreciate the appreciation. As some will see with my graphic-oriented posts (roster, bracketology, etc), I like looking at things pictorially. I went back to see how long I've been tracking the roster - started in April 2016. There was a lot of craziness in how to "track" Poffenbarger - is she a 2nd semester freshman, wait until the next season to list her, etc, etc. And then came the covid bonus year, which added a level of insanity, so I changed the look of the grid.

I decided to include Jana with this year's freshman class, because she is a freshman. If anything materially changes down the road, then I'll make some changes. Same with redshirts, same with bonus covid years.
