Lauren “likes” almost every Instagram post about UConn and has for about a year

I like Bjorn but I wouldn't think she's viewing UConn's depth chart for wings and 4s very favorably.

She was still interested as of January

True but that was before Quinonez signed up. There's a lot of potential PT in all those other schools but I'll be watching for Iowa and ND. For her game those will be clear runways.

FWIW, some who are in a position to know such things, e.g., in Iowa, believe UConn currently leads for Bjorn.

Things change, of course.

Thanks for that info, I'm surprised by that. That's OK with me. How about Vukosa? Should I be as optimistic as I have been?

Thanks to Roadmaster, we know Geno and CD watched Olivia Vukosa this weekend which means they also saw Jordyn Palmer.

If UConn is looking for more "swag" I'd suggest Robinson has it in spades.

Needs to trade in the swag for better shooting in spades. 36% from 2 and 20% from 3 in 5 games.

Looks much more assertive here than last summer for USABB. Has improved a lot.

Geno watched Kaleena Smith today. Maybe they aren't out on her after all.

Yes!, out of all the names that we think Uconn is a possibility for, Lauren might be the one we have the greatest probability of getting when you read between the lines. The Big O seems like the next most likely to me, but beyond those two I don't have a clue where we stand at this point with the others.

Some pretty large initial finalist lists, but until those are reduced to just a few teams it doesn't mean much. Looking for more and much shorter lists, will be some of the "filler" for us during the slow summer period.

Does anybody else think Bjorn is a little hard to pigeon hole into just one defined position? I see a versatile player that could contribute at multiple positions, and be a very good role player that can impact the game in many ways.

I think we should keep this thread for discussion and put posts related to individual players in the players’ threads. Otherwise we’ll end up with a loooong thread that’s difficult to read.

The thread was meant for news/vids/reports on the AAU weekends, but they always tend to drift off into various convos.

Figured it would be better than having to post and read in umpteen separate threads.

If someone is looking for information on one or two players, they need to wade through a 48 post thread to find the one they want

I'd bet most would be interested in all of the posts considering they involve UConn's POI during AAU. They are mostly vids and short reports, not walls of text.
