Some outlets have Kate as the best player in ‘26, over Saniyah Hall and Jerzy Robinson. She had a fantastic Summer, is already extremely sought after by some of the top programs in the Country. She’d be a fantastic get.

Look forward to seeing more about her and more video, but it does seem like she is on the upswing and Robinson is slipping a bit. Hall was also rising and I liked her more than Robinson, but was disappointed we didn't make her finalists, but we are still in the mix for a couple of top prospects in addition to the Big O of course.

She's got her dad's shooting. Wish she also got her dad's height (6'7) who was a terrific player both in college and pros. Been following the Harpring kid for a while now. I like her game, a lot. Really hope Geno lands her.

Recruiting: UConn offers No. 2 prospect in class of 2026

The Huskies don't yet have a 2026 commitment, but they're trying to change that.

Yes Please!

I'm jumping on Cuango's bandwagon, yes pretty please. This kids got it. Some here wax brilliantly about these young ladies, alas I'm not that eloquent. But I know a player when I see one, this young lady is a player. I hope she has the foresight to pick the Huskies.

A lot of highlights of Kate passing, defense, and blocking shots... oh, also some
pretty nice drives to the basket!

Geno does have a pretty good track record with the children of former players — kiah stokes, Aubrey griffin, Azzi, Sarah strong, I’m probably forgetting some.

And we know Kobe was a big fan.

At 1:40 AM I am not going to do any research but Shea Ralph’s mom and Kyla Irwin’s mom come to mind.

Kate has great ball handling technique.
