"Allie is a special player and a special person," Neenah girls basketball coach Andy Braunel said Saturday. "Amazingly hard worker with one of the best work ethics I’ve ever been around. She is unselfish and always looks to get her teammates involved. Love the evolution of her game. She's always been a scorer, but her defense has made some major strides. She went from a kid that we had to be careful with her defensive matchup to a player that we now usually put on the other team's best player.

"The points make the headlines, but it only speaks to part of her game. She’s dishing out almost seven assists per game and grabs nine rebounds a game. She is the most complete player I’ve ever witnessed at the high school level."

Five-star guard Allie Ziebell, the No. 5 ranked player in the class nationally, announced her pledge to the Huskies on Twitter.

The 5-foot-10 Ziebell attends Neenah High School in Neenah, Wisconsin. She took an unofficial visit to Storrs during First Night back in October.

So glad to get this young lady! She was one of my top three “wants” for this class! She is an outstanding player, one of, if not the best, shooters in this class, a tireless worker who is constantly in the gym, and just a winner! Now, let’s add Sarah Strong and Adhel Tac and we’ll really be cooking with gas!

All of the top rated BB players committing to Uconn is wonderful news and I love it. My inner concern has nothing to do with the players committing to Uconn. My concern is I'm 89 and I don't know if I will be around to watch these marvelous players that will be playing in 2024 and beyond. I have spent my whole life in keeping in shape and the Lord has blessed me this far. I work 6 days a week at my Muffler Shop and love NO sport more than I love Uconn BB. I really hope I will be around in 24,25,26. My driver's license is good till 2027. Hopefully that is a sign. GO HUSKIES!!!!!

Here’s hoping you’re going to need a new license in order to drive to UConn’s 20th consecutive Final Four! (And beyond!) Wishing you good health, happiness, and all the best!

We'll do our best to bring you along with us, Next 12. Your enthusiasm is always top shelf. Take good care of yourself and hopefully by '27, Geno will still be coaching and the Huskies will have added three or four more titles!

Thank you for post. You were generous to me in your post. I have been very appreciative of the knowledge that almost all the posters have about Uconn and BB in general. It's been a treat for me to read all the posts and the humor in a lot of them. I never knew about the Bone Yard until I got mesmerized by Uconn's winning ways of playing BB. To me, the women play the game the way it was meant to be played,not some 7 foot bohemus slam dunking for attention. Uconn women has perfected the game of BB. GO HUSKIES!!!

Thank you for your post. Believe me when I say I really hope I will need a new drivers license in 27. And with our future players committed I do believe it will be 20 FF's in a row, another Uconn record that will never be broken. GO HUSKIES!!!

Welcome aboard young lady. Now that this is settled I hope UConn is coming on Strong. However, Ziebell's shot looks a lot like Caroline's. In fact a lot of her game looks like Caroline's.

EXCEPT for Caroline's injury, I'd be happy if she replicated everything Caroline. Caroline, has little fear in any game, seems to thrive on that last second needed shot even as a freshman. (Lou did ok there too).

Geno only picks the cream of the crop when it comes to unselfish, hard working players that will fit into the UConn system..........the "23 and now '24 recruits certainly reflect those characteristics....

Where are all those posters three or four years ago saying Geno is no longer a premier recruiter and thus he should consider retiring?

At the time they said it, UConn was going through a dry spell in recruiting highly rated recruits. However, it seems as though as soon as Geno started successfully recruiting a number of foreign players, more highly ranked American players started committing again. Or something like that.

yes Geno admitted that recruiting was off a bit back then..........the choice by Ms Bueckers to attend UConn seems to have put an end to that issue although true centers still seem to be a hard to find......

I found it interesting that the article mentions the other contenders even though Allie never had a list so to speak. What stands out from that list is two things, how many schools close to her were mentioned, and the lack of other top ranked programs on the list. Pure speculation, but it kind of appears like she considered staying close to home, but it she went further away it was going to be Uconn.

Since she was ranked #5 by ESPN, I have to think the other top programs were after her too, but she may have indicated a lack of interest pretty early in the process. Who knows? Regardless glad to have her.

The videos and stats support the reputation as a shooter/scorer but in addition I was surprised by how strong she appears to be. She powered thru contact very well inside and seems to not be bothered at all by contact. We may have another three-level scorer here.
 
I expected to see more elite programs after a player as highly ranked as she is.
