The fact that megan put on the uniform to pose, I think she is telling us her decision :(

She did the same thing at Texas!! The fact she didn't pose in a uconn uni tells what kind of program geno runs!! I think when programs do photo shoots in a potential uniform tells me the coaches are trying way to hard to impress a recruit. GENO and uconn don't need to play that game uconn doesn't need to sell there program it speaks for itself. Recruit doesn't see what uconn has to offer and needs coaches at other programs to wine and dine them to get them to commit then maybe uconn isn't the place for u. Did u see any of the uconn commits last week posing in there future uconn uniforms?? No u didn't it's absolutely foolish in my opinion to do so... GENO is what I respect because he doesn't care how good u are he will never bow down to any recruit he does it the right way and he's not going to change his coaching and recruiting morals just to impress what ever recruit he has coming for a visit. I'm really surprised muffet did this but if posing in a uniform and having a photo shoot makes u want to choose a college then all I can say is good luck to u ... U are most definitely not uconn material.

U guys need to relax! The kids have posed in school uniforms throughout their twitter pages. Countless school uniforms might I add...everyone knows that Geno/UCONN will not have that. That's what makes UCONN the distinguished school/program it is today. Let those kids be kids because clearly they can't go to the multiple schools they posed in uniform. They can only choose ONE! Personally, I think this is a plus for UCONN. Maybe Megan is playing the game of letting us know by not stating the obvious. I feel that she is stroking the egos of the schools just as they're stroking hers. I feel the lean towards UCONN! #CHESSMOVE for UCONN
#Checkers for tradition-changing schools

I wouldn't mind it if players that have already committed to the school in question put on their future uniforms but in this case it's totally meaningless to "model" for multiple schools........I believe our ND friends on this site will even be surprised by this............. it's good to know that UConn doesn't bend to current trends like this.................

I'm not blaming the kids at all.............I'm blaming the college coaching staffs.............I would find it strange to put on a uniform to an uncommitted school but some kids may be into it...............can you imagine how difficult it would be to tell ND or Texas that you don't want to put on their uniforms? Not a big deal in the scheme of life but that's just not a great position to put a teenager in................
 
My feeling on putting on uniforms for a photo pic....its simply. When you are desperate you do desperate things trying to change peoples minds. UConn doesnt have to do anything because their records speak for themselves. Uconn doesnt have to butter it up, it is what it is and its a dynasty with a record number of famous women BB players who have done it all. Name me one team that has the records and players who have accomplished as much????? Sit back and enjoy the process. If Megan commits to UConn great and if she doesnt commit to UConn great and we move to the next recruit. Its that simply. With Camara and Stevens next season we are going to be the team to beat.
 
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
What about Higgs. She will be a Jr. and Uconn had a hard time guarding her in the E8 this past year. Love her game!

In FF it was Doty and Faris at guard with KML, Stewie and Dolson.

In the Final Four it was, yes. Part of that, I believe, was ceremonial for Doty. She only played 3 minutes against ND and 13 against Louisville in a rout.
 
The Doty starting in the NCAAs happened after the loss to ND in the BE. They had a team meeting where they discussed what people would 'give up' for the team success and Bria 'gave up' her starting spot to Doty. It didn't have a significant difference in minutes played, but perhaps had a psychological impact for the team who didn't lose again and avenged the ND hex they had been living with.

I suspect a lot of the 'posing' in uniforms is associated with pick-up games - the recruit gets to the locker room and there is 'practice' gear laid out for them. At Uconn it is probably just the standard practice gear, at other schools it is an actual uniform. And the pictures are not 'photo shoots' they are 'casual' events - hey lets do a picture.

I still find it a little much - like the things TN used to do with the name on the uniform and on the locker, and the video presentation on the scoreboard screen.

Higgs is a very talented and athletic guard; still very raw in certain areas. Texas' depth this season and next season is at PG. And, those PGs are good enough shooters and scorers that they could also play SG. Higgs is more of a true SG; possibly, the only one at Texas unless you consider Ariel Atkins more of a guard than a small forward. A big difference between Ariel and Lashann is that Ariel is a much better shooter, especially from beyond the 3-point line. Lashann is more of a slasher and take-it-to-the-basket player; her shooting needs work.

Nevertheless what I still find strange and unsettling is the sight of college BB coaches in the homes of 13-17 year old girls. Yeah I know it common, acceptable and perfectly legal. Yet it just pushes the wrong buttons in that sad little daddy mind of mine.
 
I honestly believe that Megan wasn't sure 2-3 weeks ago. She seems to be considering all seriously. That concerns me a little, because she hasn't differentiated UConn in her mind. We should know in a day or a couple of weeks.

Nice theory, but incorrect. Texas included a shot of her standing in front of a photo drop and it was a pro shooting with a big camera/tripod affair.

They had trouble in the first half. I don't recall her being as effective in the second half.

I believe she loves and wants to go to Uconn. Just look at the evidence of how many times she been to storrs and games and said she has a great relationship with Geno and Staff. I think she wants to make sure Conn. is where she wants to spend the next 4 years.

Unless the rule has changed recently the NCAA prohibits teams from practicing (pick up games) in team Uniforms until the first official practice. Practice gear is only thing allowed.
 
I agree, it seems a bit odd to me for these kids to pose in various schools' uniforms, but maybe they like to do this. If everyone is doing it, UConn will probably be doing it too before long. It's not as if UConn is upholding some moral principle in not doing the uniform photos. I don't have a handle on what make kids choose one school over another, but if that could affect an important decision, what's the harm?
 
Well gang....the wait is almost over. We should hear something by Wednesday afternoon. Keep hope alive. :)
