Bam!
Recruitment war this year, no, SC won the media war, and got the refs to give them 22 additional foul shots in a final game, but it wasn't 1 game, it was the whole tournament, and season!
In addition, a few months back there was a report that Geno had left the Midwest ( might have been after the game Shade or KK attended Creighton?) to go to the East Coast to visit a class of 2022 UCONN commit. Most of us dismissed this as the reporter making a mistake. Maybe not? If there is another 2022 commitment that would surely be nice. BTW Princeton could be consider east cost and Abby Meyers would sure make a great addition to the UCONN 2022 class.
it's not like Geno hasn't tried to recruit the top post players...........they simply haven't chosen UConn........players of Boston's quality don't come by very often as evidenced by the dearth of quality posts in the next two recruiting classes (one in each).............I'll take a skilled, athletic 6'2"-6'3" player over an average big bodied post any day......
With all due respect
eek:not really) we are trying to keep the recruiting thread a place where we can inform adults. Fell free to tap out of this thread. There are plenty of uncommitted 2023 recruits (besides Mikayla Williams that can change the competitive balance for UCONN or any top 10 WCBB team. There is also this thing called the transfer portal which could also easily shake up the top 25 of WCBB. There are also at least two 2022 decommitted players that could do the same. I'll try one last time, Betts is not a UCONN recruit.If she were to commit early would the school be able to be part of the recovery and rehab process or would they still have to stay out of that?
Yes she will because she can shoot and bang. Boston can’t hang out in the paint if I’ve is in there. She’s exactly what we need, her and a rough rebounding big from the portal. Dorka definitely isn’t enough but Edwards is a piece willing to engage, I like her.
Fair point, Charliebball. But SC's edge, though largely defined by Boston, isn't limited to exclusively her.
She cannot commit until November of 2022. Once she is committed the school can be part of her medical treatment and recovery. The UCONN team doctor performed Caroline Doty's knee surgery while she was still in HS and UCONN trainers were a part of her rehab.
I believe UConn had interest in Amihere too but she ended up at South Carolina........like I said you can't force players to choose your program if they want to go somewhere else.......now if Geno hadn't gone after Boston or Amihere there would be reason to criticize but that's not the case.......you've got two big posts, Cunningham in the '23 class and Thomas in the '24 class.........I assume UConn is recruiting both of them but where they land nobody knows......UConn's two incoming freshman are pretty big and athletic so I assume you think Geno has gotten that right
Not accurate.
UConn was in her top 5 when she was a junior. Can't remember if she posted a top 3.
OMG, you brought up the word Betts again. Half the forum is now on their way to psychological counseling from the trauma. The pain is excruciating!With all due respect
I’d be shocked. Angel Reese doesn’t strike me as the player to choose a team where she’d be 3rd or 4th in rotation. With Saxton leaving, Amihere or Cardoso starts with the other still coming off the bench.
+++ A big reason SC got those 1st half rebounds.
What's with the " we" in all your posts ? Are you part of or connected to the UConn program in some fashion ?
