Thought there has been posts about the possibility in the thread.

Huh. I prolly dismissed those as mere rumors. Live and learn.

For what it’s worth, the folks on TigerDroppings, LSU’s fan page, are indicating that Serah Williams arrived for her visit to UConn on Sunday through today.

Carl Adamec article in CT Post verifies Serah and Kayleigh are visiting today.

Those 2 would fill up UConn’s 14 roster spots and send chills through the rest of WBB….

We all know about Serah Williams (I should hope so!) And we all know
a lot about Kayleigh Heckel, USC Trojan freshman. But did you know
that Kayleigh's nickname is "K9"? I think that goes nice with "KK", don't
you think? Also, her Southern CAL Bio page reports that "Sue Bird is
her biggest sports hero".... Nice to know that ALSO... don't you think?
Mom and Dad went to school at St. John's. Home is Port Chester, N.Y.
Will UCONN get ONE or BOTH?? See Forego's Blog post about the
report from Carl Adamec's article in the CT POST (above). K9 is 5'9".

Yay. I mean, I'm not bitter. I'm not bitter at all. Really, I'm not.

Serah I can understand, with a one year effort benefitting both her and UConn. Kayleigh not so sure since she would be a three year deal, but she was with KK and Kelis at Dawg camp, so there may be some chemistry there.

I actually think Vanderbilt may be Heckel's best option for impact and PT.

But not for a national championship….

Kelis was not at Dawg camp

I have the same concern about K9. If she’d come as a freshman she’d be sure to be accepted by the others. But now, won’t she seem like an interloper? Maybe she can overcome that beginning, especially if she already has a bond with KK and Kelis. The last time Geno took a multi year transfer was Evina and she worked out really well. Does Kayleigh have the winning personality that would take? I hope so. Dorka ended up staying for a second year because of the accident of the Covid extension, but she was a typical one year grad transfer initially.

True if that's her main motivation. Probably every kid who gets recruited to UConn thinks they're good enough to make an 8 man rotation. Until they're not. So at least they have unlimited options now just in case.

 

[CGK]

Serah is the perfect 1 year fit with experience and proven performance in scoring and defense up front. But I think the current guards +incoming Blanca Quinonez is all we need. But what do I know?

If both of them come, it will not be a rotation of 8. If Audrey and Morgan were totally healthy last season, it wouldn’t have been last season either.

I hope that there's plenty of #12 stuff all around the campus.

 

[Sifaka]

While you do that, I will continue "reading between the lines" . . .

Or… reading between the lions?

I believe someone posted one of the insiders said to look out for Heckel to UConn. But I think it got lost in the initial fray of the constant portal news

I actually think Vanderbilt may be Heckel's best option for impact and PT.

I predict she goes to Vandy. No inside info, just a hunch. And I’d be ok with that.

My 1st choice of course would be signing Serah for 1 year and I would love for Kayleigh to come to UConn, but not at the expense of upsetting the positive vibes with KK, Ashlynn, Morgan, Azzi, and Allie!
Especially KK and Ashlynn as they've paid their dues these 2 years! These next 2 years should be their time to shine!
As an OLD coach there's nothing worse than a toxic locker room!
All returnees and 3 recent rookie recruits should sign off positively to bring a + 3 year player on board!
I guess we'll know by Friday!

Why do you think that, did I miss something?

I can't speak to the possible reaction of the other guards, but KK and K9 were both at Kelsey Plum's Dawg Camp and probably got to know each other a bit, and I suspect the possibility of Uconn might have come up.

Don't worry BD.....even an old dog learns something new every day. Takes one to know one.
