You're right, I'm sure there's a lawsuit percolating somewhere. It's the American way...Wait, you mean these kids have to be students enrolled in classes at these places? C'mon, that's just not right!
Agree this should be the priority of things. I would still be exploring other options and doing the homework so to speak, but make it clear we need to hear from Serah first. If a second opening occurs after the season ends, you could go after a guard right away if it is a clear upgrade, but be waiting on Serah before offering any other big. IMO only if a clear upgrade.So, if my math is correct, we have 11 players returning for next year, we have 3 incoming freshmen, leaving only 1 open spot for a Transfer. I my humble opinion, that spot needs to be filled by Ms. Serah Williams. I hereby decree it, so let it be so...If Serah elects another school, then and only then, would I entertain other options....
Enrolled is not the same as attendingWait, you mean these kids have to be students enrolled in classes at these places? C'mon, that's just not right!
I think this is particularly true for 5's. A WNBA level 5 faces few opponents that can really test them during the normal season. There have been several superstar 5 combos over the last few years. At first glance it appears strange because the bench player could start at all but a hand-full of schools, and yet goes where they know they may come off the bench, at least for a year.
As of now there is one spot..
UConn has generally not advertised anything with transfers before the commitment goes live. There was a bit of chatter regarding Evina Westbrook, however nothing serious until she went public with her decision. IMHO, the same with Dorka. No pictures of visits with uniforms on. Lou and Kaitlyn were assumed but nothing until the official announcement. Don't forget that recruits visits' pictures sometimes don't make it online until a while later.
I'd like to have her as a proven two way big but another veteran shooting guard as Azzi insurance would be nice too......
Not all of us. I definitely see a need and Auriemma most likely sees one as well. That's why there's interest in Williams. You never have too many impact bigs because you never know when you're going to lose one.
I said "urgent need." Of course there's interest in Serah. I think she'd be a nice addition, too. But the simple fact staring us in the face is that Geno just won an NC in truly dominating fashion with bigs that most of the BY had long since discounted.
A need for the coming season is urgent enough for me. Ability to provide consistent production and avoid foul problems doesn't happen between now and November in shootarounds and informal scrimmages. I wouldn't leave that to hope and chance, I'd bring in a Williams to push that development this fall since it hasn't been shown yet.
Idk about all American but I'd be happy with her averaging 10-12 pts a game,10-12 rebounds and some solid defense.
That's accurate; both remain works in progress.
I sure hope so, but for next season I'd be happy with All Big East.........
Well...we just won a championship w/o a high scoring 5 ....soooo it can be successful. Plus defense wins games...wink wink... In Geno and Sarah I trust!
That's a good point. But at this point I assume all currently injured players will be back by November, namely Caroline, Morgan and Ayanna. This means they should have a full season to develop.
