If Megatron decides to go elsewhere consider this: Andra and Lexi from her class will be very good and the number two player in the 2018 is probably more likely to come to Uconn.Megan is a 2/3 as is Christyn Williams,Andra and Lexi.I think that between these players and others that the off guard and small forward positions will be very well represented no matter how the Megatron sweepstakes play out.I expect Uconn to recruit several other superstars in the next couple of years and have another long undefeated streak over a several year period.So my opinion is that Uconn will either get Megan or a similar talent in her place in 2018,and if the basketball gods are really,really,really smiling toward Storrs then both Christyn and Megan end up petting Jonathan.

Yup, perfectly captured what I have been thinking for a long time now. Yeah, they got it right about Stewie and a few UConners before her, but have you noticed how many non-Uconners they had it wrong about? Hmmm? Strange. Is there a common denominator/variable. Seriously now: If you look at the MNBA you see a lot of stand outs who never hit the charts in HS and a lot of the Top 100 frankly disappeared in college. Some peak early. Some never get over themselves. No one is bigger than the game.
 
So, hypothetically, if Megan were to sign with UConn, what would your 2017-18 starting line-up look like?

MW would play all 5 positions. Now, what would Texas do?

My guess is Walker wouldn't start her freshmen year barring injuries. Dangerfield, Nurse, KLS, and Stevens would seem to be locks with Collier or Williams probably getting the other spot.

I think our starting five to begin the 2017 season would be:
Center - Jatarie White
PF - Joyner Holmes
SF - Megan Walker
SG - Ariel Atkins (I think she would slide down from SF in 2016 to SG in 2017)
PG - Whoever wins the job among Brooke McCarty, Alecia Sutton, or Chasity Patterson

Even DT and the Invincible Queen didn't start their freshman year, and we're talking about two of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball.

To give you a serious answer ... It's hard to say, but I think it includes Kia and Lou, for sure, plus almost certainly Crystal. Then 2 of these 3: Napheesa, Gabby, and Azura.

That means a bench of Megan, Natalie, Batouly, Lexi, Andi, Mikayla, Molly, and Kyla and 1 of Napheesa/Gabby/Azura. That's a loaded team.
 
Well, since Geno doesn't play anyone more than ~22 minutes/game, the question of who might start is: everyone.

Actually, they did start, but only after injuries to others gave them the opportunity. Breanna Four-for-Four Stewart didn't start either, but I think her career turned out pretty nicely. That said, I expect Megan to play 15-18 minutes and make a big impact.

58,000 views of this thread and counting. Ya think UConn Nation is interested in the latest news, and where Walker ends up? :confused: I'd say so.
 
Is Megan's official visit to Notre Dame this weekend or next weekend?

This weekend. It appears she's already there. She had a tweet last night tagged with a location of South Bend, IN.

I agree in all aspects. If you are talking Princeton under Pete Carril I agree-that was some beautiful basketball and it was "near" upset of Georgetown in '89. That "Yuk ND" is always implied regardless of the subject.

Who is Sammy? I am guessing you mean Samantha Brunelle. If so and you know her like than please put in a good word for UCONN.

I was speaking of Samuelson, but Brunelle is absolutely UConn material. Coach's kid, too.

Stewie didn't start? I could have sworn she started almost every game of her freshman year.

And at this rate, it might make 75,000 before she announces her choice.

Shades of Maya.

Unlike many posters I think I've a different feeling about the entire recruiting process of Ms. Walker. She's a fine talent and indeed may become the #1 AA at the 2 or 3 in WCBB. Her game is a nice combination of silk and excitement, of team and take over, that would play well in any program. And yes, I'm a greedy little piglet that wants them ALL to play at Storrs. But if she chooses to go elsewhere, hey, I'll still root for her to have a great career. As I still root for all the others (re: Ms. Delle Donne) that passed on a career with Geno and The Husky's. The UConn is still going to win championships without her. I believe if she chooses to go to Texas or ND she'll will be crushed while losing to The UConn in the E8 or the finals as so many others (do you hear that Ms, Durr, Ms. Cox , Ms. Wilson and all those many others from years past?).

Now, will she ever regret choosing elsewhere? Perhaps. But frankly, that's relevant only to her, her family, and the team that lobbied so hard to have her attend. It would be irrelevant to the rest of the basketball world and certainly irrelevant in the land of Storrs as The UConn competes for another championship. As long as Geno is in Storrs The UConn will continue to be the most relevant team in WCBB. Geno will continue to produce the most game ready, hardest working players in all of BB and the most professional ready players in all of BB. Oh yeah, and his teams will still play the prettiest ball in all of BB.

So if she signs on to this, great. It'll be all sunshine, roses and rainbows. If not, it'll still be The UConn. I'll take that.

Nice posting!! Uconn has always survived and thrived without even EDD or others as they say should Walker--Walk!
However --I too am greedy and want the best coached by the best.

Only self absorbed people dwell on what "could have been". Most accept life as it comes and takes a swing or two at it. The true way to survive is to NOT believe much would have changed had you made another choice--unless of course it's long time prison you are in..
