UConn is recruiting and has a good shot at the two best SGs in the country in 2027. Ivanna Wilson-Manyacka 6-1 and Haylen Ayers 6-0. Both are better than Robinson and Bjorn.
I think Sarah could easily play the 3 and provide that star power, plus Blanca also certainly has that potential as well. I personally have no worries about next year.
Agreed. If it’s anywhere but Iowa, I would be surprised. Especially after her parents put the Woliczko’s onto Iowa. But I’m still holding onto hope that it’s UConn.
I doubt it too. My question would be, has she already signed and this is just a public announcement or will she commit and wait to sign in the spring since the 19th is the final day of the signing period? On edit, she'll probably just sign on the 19th and announce the next day.
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.
