Adamec: Key recruiting weekend upcoming for UConn

I think Penny and Lauren Taylor will vouch for Geno. I'd be surprised if Geno hasn't talked to Diana or Penny about Ezi.

What's LJ's connection w/ UConn?
Expand ...
Through Sue Bird. Lauren has stated that she used to hate Sue , then learned to respect her, and then found her ultimately indispensable. I'm paraphrasing and of course I can't pull off the Australian accent.

Recruiting this weekend, practice on Thursday, and Media Day on Monday. The season is getting close!

Who goes to Media Day? My guess is Gabby, Kia, Lou, and Pheesa.

Yes of course, the "Core 4". How could you leave anyone of these ladies out of making the trip? :rolleyes:
 
Scoop said:
What a coincidence, just the kind of player UConn needs and is looking for!! :D
Expand ...
Not a coincidence at all. You have an excuse because you only joined the BY in July of 2017. The rest of us were "oogling" Ezi in the summer of 2016 when her U17 team beat the USA team featuring plenty of UCONN Targets ( Brunelle, C. Collier, ONO, Prince, C. Williams). Girl can play!

Hmmm....doesn't seem like much of a connection to me. Of course I was aware of Sue and Lauren being long time teammates w/ the Storm, but she had a bunch of other teammates too. As far as I know she really didn't have any U.S. ties other than spending part of her year in Seattle throughout her career.

Maya may be home, polishing her hardware. It's a full-time job. ;)

There is a huge mural of Maya in the lobby of the Werth Center, and her name is on the wall in the practice gym. I think she has the largest banner.

Yep.

I’ve been down for a couple weeks after losing whatshername to the cow school in TX. With CW, ONO & maybe the Aussie coming to visit, there is hope again. :)
Expand ...

Oldude, trust me, you were not alone. :( I'm OK now. I'm looking forward now, and not speculating about what might have been. I think UConn will get a post player during the early singing period next month that will make us forget all about whatshername. When one door closes, another one always opens. :)

Speaking of foreign players, I like what I read about Laeticia Amihere, the 6'3" human pogo stick and dunker from Canada. HoopGurlz ranks her #2 overall (behind Sam Brunelle) in 2019. Maybe our resident Canadian can put in a good word for UConn.

Uhm... you are only about a full month behind.

donalddoowop said:
I see Laeticia Amihere is considering Uconn. She is a 6'3" forward from Canada. Rated the number two player and number two forward in the 2019 class. Seems she may be as good as Brunell. Does anyone have any information on her or a maybe a mix tape?

Ezi did very well on a world stage in 2016--winning the MVP. Note that one of the games was against the U.S.A.

She's a tall, lanky, finesse player who is very, very good.

Expand ...


she certainly is athletic.............can't tell if she can shoot from those clips but she is clearly a disruptive force on the defensive end...........I would call her a work in progress that could thrive under Gen's tutelage................

She's also going to be 19 by the start of next season. Young in basketball experience but not in age. Think she can go pro after two or three years.

Good guesses. My heart will be there as well.

Magbegor is definitely not a project! Right now her game is as polished as any post in the class and she has all the physical tools to only get better.
Expand ...

you could be right but I can only go by those clips..........I saw no offensive game other then layups and a five foot jump shot.................if Geno is interested that's good enough for me...............

DT and LJ were teammates on Spartak Moscow about 10 years ago and were good buddies for a long time back when.

Yeah, gettin tired of Texas and Baylor hogging all the prospects.

Seriously, after all the talk the last few months, if Williams and ONO chose UConn heads might explode in Texas, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Expand ...
I can't speak for everyone, but most Texas fans had completely written Christyn off after she dropped us from consideration last October. South Carolina was also dropped when she trimmed her list to 5 schools initially. So, to me, Texas and SC fans should know that we have definitely not been the frontrunners for CW; that would be UConn and Tennessee, IMO. Considering she made unofficial visits to UConn and Tennessee as junior, I think that shows where her main interest was one year ago.

You have to be impressed by the little you saw though? Her ability to run the floor, finish with either hand, explosive first step, tremendous footwork. shot blocking and rebounding, and her athletic ability all stand out in that short video.

Yeah, her length, agility, handle, and use of both hands all stand out. She has things that can't be taught. Ezi is still fairly young, so she has lots of time to improve. As noted above, she would be WNBA eligible after 2 or (more likely) 3 years of college, based on her age. I'm ok with that, at least 3 years.

How can a strapped for cash UCONN justify bring a recruit from Australia $$$$$? :rolleyes:
Expand ...

UConn shouldn't give her a scholarship or shouldn't have her visit on their dime ?
(bringing :cool:)
 
This was talked about in another thread, but look at the college players invited to the USA Basketball Senior Team Camp:

A'ja Wilson, Senior, South Carolina
Kelsey Mitchell, Senior, Ohio State
Asia Durr, Junior, Louisville
Katie Lou Samuelson, Junior, UConn
Napheesa Collier, Junior, UConn

Among the pros invited were Sue and Stewie, as expected, plus Morgan Tuck, Kiah Stokes, Stefanie Dolson, and Tiffany Hayes. If you aspire to greatness, Geno and staff will help get you there better than any other group, with a combination of instruction and motivation.
