April Recruiting Thread

[RoadMaster]

For the "read the tea-leaves" crowd.. ..lol
From Kate Kovall's ('24 6'5 Post) Instagram (fairly recent, I think)..
An interesting cameo appearance by some famed coach interjected (probably wrong technical term) into the video.

I Googled Morgan Cheli recruiting and the first thing I see is her Twitter saying she's committed to Seattle U. If legit she passed on a Stanford offer in her backyard. I wonder how that happened.

Does Sahara Williams compare to Mir McLean?

Similar size, compete level, rebounding prowess, defensive aptitude. Neither appears especially skilled beyond layup conversions. Wonder if Sahara is Mir-level athlete?

You should watch more of Williams. IMO, there's no comparison at the HS level. McLean had no offensive fundamentals coming in, and still has limited. The presence in the '23 class of Shade and Arnold might keep Williams away from UConn but somebody is going to get a gem.

I mean Seattle U. lost to Utah Valley and UTRGV whatever that is. That choice doesn't make sense for academics does it? Can it possibly be for BB?

Cheli retweeted her friend’s (Noemie Bariteau) commitment to Seattle University.

SMH.

Cheli hasn't committed anywhere. I see what you see, but there's either a technical glitch, or that is a post about someone else re-tweeted by Cheli.

I can't see any reason Shade's presence would bother Williams. Shade's a guard/wing where as Williams is a small forward. No conflict there, imo.

Williams starts from day one for just about anyone............she's a guaranteed twenty plus a game scorer.......

You're talking about Mikaylah, my post was in response to Sahara.

sorry about that..........Sahara's no Mikaylah but UConn would be lucky to get her too.....,...

Weekend matchup: Aaliyah Chavez #24 grey and Chloe Clardy #13 grey vs Judea Watkins #12 black and Mackenley Randolph #4 black

I think so. She or Booker would fit the bill for the 3/4 slot.

with the loss of Toomey UConn needs another forward who plays with some serious physicality and has a scoring touch....

Thx for insight, BobbyJ. Only exposure to SW from posted clips, which prompted my comp query.

Love the player. Only concern is height. Seems game moving toward long wings at highest level. Realize Gabby was same 5’11” size & height isn’t everything. But being sub-6’ requires incredible athleticism, hunger, and/or instinct to flourish when ceding several inches to elite positional opponent on frontline, even SF.

OK. As you can tell I don't do twitter and that's all I saw. Actually makes more sense for a kid this good.

… Shane Laflin just said there is big interest in Adhel Tac, 6-5 sophomore from Texas, and that "talk" is she might be the best big in the class.

Chris Dailey now following this player, Kelis Fisher, a 2025 PG from Roland Park, Maryland. Fisher seems very pro-UConn as her social media suggests. That includes calling Ashlynn Shade a "great player!" in the replies to the video of Shade I posted from last weekend.

A Kelis Fisher tweet from this weekend. She's #1.
