No.
Kaizen, I thanked you on the chat board for giving me the info on where to watch the game. For the first time SNY was blacked out on my TV. Could not have watched it without you. Thank you again.
Glad to see her at the game. Thought Tennessee had a lock on her based on the number times she visited there. Just goes to show you it’s never over until the fat lady sings.
Hopefully she and her dad were impressed enough by what she saw and experienced during her visit today, she’ll want to be part of it.
Flight to catch?
Are we starting this already? Really? Can we at least get them signed first? Good grief!
This was definitely an unofficial visits because Shade is class of '23 & cannot take official visits until April 8th of 2022. Regardless if the visit is official or unofficial that sweat shirt "must" be paid for by mom, dad, or Ashlynn. Sweatshirt, team gear & swag bags are not permissible expenses during a recruiting visit. The only allowable expenses during unofficial visits are tickets to school athletic events. For official visits the allowable expenses get expanded to travel, room, meals and reasonable entertainment.
Question: with some other teams when they get a recruit to visit, we see pictures of the recruit in that team uniform...who pays for that?
That process is entirely voluntary and paid for by the school. The recruits don't get to keep those uniforms and the NCAA says that you cannot put the recruits name on those uniforms.
Pretty sure UConn does, but the player doesn’t get to keep the uniforms.
I feel like that was Tennessee’s go to move for a while, putting kids names on a uniform. One of our players relayed that when she talked about how Tennessee recruited her in high school.
Wasn’t it Shea? I think she said something along the lines of, “It was like Orangeman went in there and threw up everywhere “. Coulda been Tamika, too.
Was this her official visit? If it was and they left after 3 periods without closure with Geno or CD, it doesn’t look to good.
The official visit occurs during the fall of a recruit’s senior year in HS. In Shade’s case that would be the fall of 2022. This trip was on the recruit’s dime. I’m sure Geno visited with Ashlynn & her father, and as indicated by others, they probably had a plane to catch.
I would go further and say that if the Butler game is played (i.e., not cancelled because of COVID), and she does not attend (regardless of apparel), that would be a clear signal that she is not too interested in UConn. On the other hand, if she does attend, that would be an indication of serious interest. Of course, if she has a high school game of her own on that evening, that would be another story.
No it was not an official visit. The Shade's were visiting on their own dime and free to leave whenever they wanted to. There this thing called COVID happening and thousands of flights being cancelled nationwide. That same COVID thing also caused UCONN 4 games before Creighton to be postponed/cancelled. It is a very good sign that they made it to UCONN.
! Doesn't make sense that the family would make it to UCONN then miss a game 25 miles from home and that would be a clear sign of not being interested. the Shade Family spent their own money and made made it to UCONN on a weekend=they are interested. Ashlynn does not have a scheduled game on Wednesday.
