Aubrey Griffin to UConn

Well I can't see Geno not waiting the extra day before putting out the press release. Maybe Haley is making all her calls today to let the coaches know her decision before announcing first thing tomorrow morning. Perhaps Geno just received his thanks but no thanks call. South Carolina put theirs out a few weeks ago, so maybe they didn't seriously think they were in the running for Boston.

They couldn’t have put it out a few weeks ago. The signing oeriod was last week and schools are not permitted to announce until the LOI period.

I said all along Sam Brunelle wanted UCONN all along and now that Boston committed to South Carolina im sure Geno is wishing he offered Sam now. A top 5 player is looking good right about now... A big recruiting mistake

What is your point? Recruiting is always a series of gambles. Sometimes they work; sometimes they dont.

Remember jackie Gemelos and all that hype on her game ??... Granted she had injuries, but still. . :-) Fudd is amazing, but not a Breanna Stewart game changer in any means. Fudd reminds me of Epiphany Prince. I believe that even without MoJeff or Tuck, Uconn would of won 4 still. I saw, and for 5 seconds spoke to Stewie her senior year of high school, and saw her again when she played the Liberty here in NYC, and let me tell you, the same person, same demeanor, same maturity she's always had. The recruits that come to uconn and sign are not looking for comfort, "lets hug around the campfire and share memories" type of stuff. These recruits (Millenials) are wayyy too emotional and prefer pampering and nurturing, rather than reality and discipline.

Dorf picked up his information and evaporated after Boston signed.

Have seen some major trolling through the years but this wins that (dubious) prize. Likely Dorf has multiple alias he or she uses and is currently trolling on a different topic.

Fudd isn't just the best in her class, she's better than the two classes ahead of her. I don't get the Prince comparison at all. Way different type of handles, Prince is much shorter, and her shot was always a little broke. Fudd had the smoothest jump shot since Mya in my opinion.
 
hoopsfan22 said:
But why then did these players all visit together and come to a game as recently as a few weeks ago if the writing has been on the wall for a long time? I'll admit I thought that was a good sign, but perhaps it means a lot less than I thought it did at the time.
Expand ...

Not to be a downer, but I always felt that the others showing on the visit was a bad sign. Kinda like there's a pact and they showed kinda to get in the way and remind them of their pact. Always felt none of those four would end up here. Sounds crazy but they are teens and good friends.

agreed.................she's the closest I've seen to a sure thing in many years (along with PB)................................she'd be averaging 14 points a game for UConn right now

Yea her and Paige aren't just potential pros. They have elite impact potential that we haven't seen in guards in a very very long time.

Dorf was a clown and somehow convinced some people on this board that he had "inside information" because he stated he overheard a group of recruits(Boston, Fudd, Bueckers, Jones, etc) talking about going to UConn. The really sad part is that some people were gullible enough to believe him!

So, Bueckers and Fudd wasted time and money to visit UConn in order to "get in the way and remind Boston and Jones of their pact"? Is this a joke?

Nah, our trusty mods can see IP addresses, so they know if someone is trying to use multiple names. :)

I think Nan just confirmed your hypothesis. :)
 
Since Dorf was up for sainthood by a select few in the yard, his reported miracles have yet to come true. He needs at least two to move toward canonization. For the sake of the hagiographers here, I hope he delivers Ms Jones tomorrow. Pray for him, whoever he/she is and wherever she/he is lurking. And then if he/she delivers the next three recruits, per the prophecy, we can all pray to him/her! ;):rolleyes:

No. 33 recruit Aubrey Griffin officially signs with UConn women

“It was really hard for her,” Ricci said. “She really loved Louisville — the staff and everything about the place. It came down to wanting to stay closer to home where her mom could watch her play, and also dreaming of playing for the mecca of women’s basketball — UConn.”

Every once and a while it is nice to have the "close to home" mean UConn!

Surely... but also "the mecca of women's basketball.." is also a nice title that could be the draw for players from anywhere.

If it’s all soley basketball and history it’s UCONN, if it’s acedemics it’s stanford, if it’s a number 1 recruiting class and USA basketball coach it’s South Carolina , if it’s a upcoming program it’s Oregon, if it’s defending national champions it’s notre Dame.....

Well that narrows it down

She could of chosen a school with better weather, scenery ( although nothing compares to Connecticut scenery), academics (again Northeastern education one of best in the country), ect.. but she chose us. And i LOOOVVVEEE that Boston or Jones aren't going to Uconn. The high school classes of 19,20,21,22,and 23 are whats going to change the womens game forever. New Jersey is stupid loaded with young talent, maybe even better than Fudd. Fudd just evolved faster as a player for her class. I think Olivia Miles will be the new No#1 and she will choose Uconn. Notre Dame is going to get a bunch of sorority girls that bonded that "one summer" and want to be with each other forever. Uconn gets game changing athletes that sacrifice everything, to be coached and pushed by the greatest in the game.

So people, loosing out on Boston, and/or Jones, is literally not even the worst thing that can happen, at all. I AM SUPER HAPPY THAT AUBREY chose us, and breathe!!.

"...or Jones"??? Says who?

@j66kicker you want to answer this or do you want me to take it.

I just went to IG & Twitter accounts for KLS, Gabby, and Mikayla and found plenty of ripped jeans pics. I'm sure you can find MW in torn jeans too. Those sites don't make it easy to copy the pics, but feel free to check it out.

Ok... great... but, I suspect they weren't in pictures where they were representing UCONN WBB... for example the football game where they all signed autographs... comments made here on BY about no ripped jeans on any of them.

Who knew that "close to home" meant close to the V. I. and not close to Massachusetts for Aliyah?! ;)

Well she said she prayed to help her decide, so I guess her choice of deity spoke to her, and whispered Gamecocks.

Dorf said he was in Belarus when the U-17 team was there. That may have been true. If so, he would be an insider of some sort. His posts last week were different and a little odd, so I don't know what to make out of him. I think he may not be a troll, and possibly Aliyah surprised him and everyone else.
