April recruiting thread

[Huskie02]

I would also be thrilled... but not Surprised!!

I’ve heard too much praise placed on these recruits before they even set foot on campus. i believe Patterson was the #5 recruit coming out of high school. All I heard about was her terrific vertical leap and a dunker with ease. Let’s wait until they at least get on campus before we anoint them as the next Stewie.

When Toby gets to Storrs, Ayanna will be energized by the dunk rival.

How do you know that she is coming to Storrs?

How do you know that she is coming to Storrs?

I dont. It’s called positive visualization.

I think Sarah Strong might leave the Carolinas and end up at LSU. From what I’ve seen on her socials, they seem to be the favorite.

That would suck, I can’t think of any recruit I want more. Gotta trust Geno though.

 

[HuskyNan]

I don't know of any UConn interest in Robinson to this point.

Morgan Valley is following her

Of course that’s only a prediction. If she hasn’t, I hope she takes an Official and is wowed.

I think that is true, shooting is relatively weak, but I do see a little of Rodman in her like BobbyJ and I think with her mobility and good handles she might be kind of a garbage scorer with a decent percentage on very close range shots.

Her quickness, height and ability to elevate makes her a midrange nightmare. Bueckers never gets a lot of ft's because she has alternatives to driving into a defender. Those 6-10' shots are always there for a player who can elevate and has the quickness to get to a hole in the defense.

Agreed............I'm tired of watching UConn's skilled but undersized players get mauled under the basket..........Strong's physical presence and skills are a gamechanger.........that said I'd be thrilled but surprised if Geno could bring her to Storrs

People point at her father's tie to NCSt. That also means that he can appreciate what is being taught at UConn. The "old school tie" often isn't as strong as some think.

 

[Alydar]

All definitely worth watching. But my interest in "The Big O" knows no limits.

I hope CTK plays in one of those Hall of Fame games in Springfield. It would be worth a trip to go see her.

That's the ESPN list that was updated the other day. The '26 class still isn't up.

She's certainly playing her recruitment close to the vest which is certainly her prerogative...........I certainly hope you're right but I have a feeling this is one big fish that got away.......that said I've been wrong before......happily..........

So ESPN's ranking updates only lists a top-5 for 2026. The rest are still on the watchlist.

The class looks stacked.

Reports say UConn has contacted Nos. 1 & 3.

 

[HuskyNan]

Reports say UConn has contacted Nos. 1 & 3.

I think you mean UConn is tracking them. Coaches can’t approach freshmen except to send them an NCAA approved introductory letter

Jerzy, Jenica and Big O. My future wish list.

 

[BobbyJ]

Reports say UConn has contacted Nos. 1 & 3.

And probably tracking #4.

I follow Jerzy Robinson and everything I reply on her post "baby huskie" she always hits "love" fingers crossed

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Reports say UConn has contacted Nos. 1 & 3.

UConn has shown interest in Jackson, Vukosa (who visited Storrs), Abii, Crittendon, Desouze, Green, Harping, Lewis, and Ragone.

As noted by others, Morgan Valley has "liked" content by Robinson and Cosgriff.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

The 2026 list in the Tweet above is truncated. Here is the entire list.

A letter is contact as I used the word in my post. I agree not all contact is allowed but some contact is allowed.
