2025 Recruiting: Agot Makeer

[Alydar]

What you dream of when your 12 doesn't necessarily match who you are at 17. Basketball doesn't have to be your life at UConn but it better be close to that.

 

[Bone Dog]

How is it a done deal if she hasn't even visited the campus and the team? She's only visited 2 out of the 6 programs per the article. That feels a tad presumptuous considering who is still in the running.

Seriously? It’s been her dream school since she was a little kid. She notices how UConn is a great lunching pad into the pros. Not every kid who says this comes to Storrs. But a lot of them do.

 

[oldhusky]

Now that she is down to 6, I am starting to like our chances, and feel that if we get one more available spot beyond the one held for Lara, she is probably the highest priority except for Davidson. one wing to go with Gandy, Kellis and Lara should complete the 2025 class.

Someone check her bedroom walls! KK had UConn plastered all over hers.

Yes seriously. Wasn't UConn a dream school for other high profile players who ended up going elsewhere?

Have nothing against having the confidence that UConn will win out in the end. However considering who else is in consideration, I don't see it as a lock just because Notre Dame isn't in the running.

Hey, when I prognosticate, I don't make the easy call, the merely likely one. That's too easy. I go way out on a limb.

Wow. That's the second key player from the Crestwood program to leave for another team this off-season. The OSBA landscape is going to be very interesting with respect to high performance development of Canadian athletes.

I'm a little disappointed that Makeer is leaving Crestwood, although Montverde is a more than interesting destination. Last year Crestwood had an excellent season, with ASGR placing the team 5th in its top 50, even though it's Canadian. I would have thought that if she left Canada, she would join her good friend Savvy Swords at Long Island Lutheran. LuHi, which has seen 4 of its starters leave, has however recruited well in recent weeks, so that the team should still be competitive this year, with 5 new players from the 2026 and 2027 classes joining Swords and Olivia Jones. So far, no senior players will be part of their next edition.

I hear you but for what the OSBA league was intended to do, keep talented Canadian kids home, it's frustrating to see her head south. The costs for these US programs aren't cheap either and with the Canadian exchange as it is, I don't know how families pull it off. It would be more than what one woukd pay for some Canadian universities on an annual basis.

I agree, I don't get it either. Makeer won't get anything at Montverde that she's not already getting at Crestwood other than warm winter weather. Coaching's not any better and the competition is about the same.

 

[oldhusky]

I think with Jazzy's decision and Prawl scheduling visits for 6 of her 8 finalists (but not us) the chances of getting a top wing type for 2025 is pretty much boiling down to Makeer with perhaps a slight chance of Prawl.

I'm hoping the 1st spot is for Agot in the 2025 class.

Agot Makeer: Geno Auriemma

Wow. This is the top target I want.

 

[yhun89]

I know how much we love to speculate based on Social Media so here's what I gather from Agot's:

-Follows the UCONNWBB account on IG
-Follows Coach Valley and Geno (definitely a good sign IMO)
-Follows former UCONN players turned coaches/former players (Tamika Jeter Williams/Christyn Williams/ONO)
-Follows UCONN players now (PB, Ash, Morgan,Aubrey)

So she's definitely a heckuva lot more interested in us than say, Prawl for example.

Hopefully that last comment is a good indication.
Given the timing, do y'all think her Official visit to UCONN could be on first night? If Duke is next week, then SC is the week after, I think her visit here possibly coincides with First Night.

 

[DEpup]

I always like it when we are the last visit. For me, when I'm making a decision, I evaluate all the potentials and end with where my gut was leaning. Sort of use the others to confirm the gut.

 

[Hayven]

Sounds like she’s visiting during the weekend if the exhibition. No better way to see how the team prepares for a game, than actually visiting during a weekend game.
