Why not Kansas? Its gotta be an attractive idea to be the player that turns a school into a powerhouse
To be THE player to turn a school into a powerhouse it takes a Sarah Strong level talent. Self awareness should tell her that she’s not that level of player. Because she’s not. She’ll most likely be a good complimentary player in a strong program.
As did Ionescu.
Playing for a top team, and maybe especially UConn, requires a formidable commitment. For kids who aspire to play professionally, such schools are an obvious choice. But not all kids share that ambition. They may love to play, but have other ambitions.
I think we have to remember that some players have other priorities than going to the top basketball school. What may seem like an inferior school to you may be the best of both worlds in terms of closeness to home, chemistry with coaches/teammates, and potential playing time for Addison. I think more and more we are seeing players choose schools where they can make the biggest impact and leave their legacy while also staying close to home. Players like A’ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and JuJu Watkins are just a couple players that come to mind. Addison hasn’t announced where she’s going yet but people are acting as if she’s making a horrible mistake if it’s anywhere but UConn, and I just don’t think that’s the case.
Looking at a lunch time on EST (12:15 on Thursday, 11/20/25) for coaches, it would narrow it down to UConn, uNd, UNC, and Duke, as they are in EST. From the past week's losses, unless she has the, "I can fix that!" attitude, it leaves UConn, who does not need "fixing" just more top players.
I bet. The makings of a very nice class.
I'd love to see her play for the Irish, but I just don't see it for a variety of reasons (such as having three other wings in this recruiting class). As such, I've predicted Kansas or Texas on a post on the Bench (and now here).
The post says Texas. You are out of luck.
