Per the UConn Women's Basketball FB page:

STORRS, Conn. – Head coach Geno Auriemma announced the signing of 2019 freshman guard Aubrey Griffin to the UConn women's basketball team Tuesday.

Griffin, a 6-1 wing from Ossining, N.Y., is ESPN's No. 33 overall recruit in her class and No. 6 at her position.

As a junior, Griffin averaged 28.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.2 steals, 2.9 assists and 1.6 blocks at Ossining High School after missing her sophomore season to injury. Griffin was named the New York Section 1 Player of the Year and was an all-state selection. She has helped Ossining to three straight regional and section 1 championships and the 2016 New York State Championship.

Griffin was one of 18 finalists for the 2018 USA Basketball U-17 Team.

Griffin comes from an established athletic family. Her father, Adrian, played basketball at Seton Hall and in the NBA for nine seasons and is currently an assistant for the Toronto Raptors. Her mother, Audrey, ran track at Seton Hall. Griffin's older brother, Alan, is a freshman on Illinois' basketball team. She also has a younger brother, Adrian Jr., and an older sister, Vanessa.

Ummm, no. Usually when a University announces their class, that's the class.

I thought Stanford and ND have also announced their class. I guess that leaves SC?

The final nail in the coffin of the 2018-2019 senior class recruiting debacle. UGH! I know we have a lot of optimist on the board, but this is 100% proof that Jones isn't coming here.

Mark it down, she is going to South Carolina.

Well I guess this means plenty of room for 2020 and 2021 recruits. Gonna have lots of schollies to give out. Lose KLS and Collier this year, and Crystal Dangerfield, Bent, Batouly, and Kyla after next season. That's six players out and only one in.

No, they weren't.

You are correct. What I “mis-remembered” as spring signings, was actually later announcements on Kyla & Molly after UConn signed Crystal but lost out on Cox.

SC also announced their class and then they made a 2nd announcement on Boston.

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.

The writing has been on the wall for a long time, Horston,Jones,Boston(Bueckers and Fudd) were never coming to UConn.

I have to disagree, 100 percent. This was an announcement of the signing of a player, not the announcement of the signing of a recruiting class. And I thought it was easier to respond to the three posters (whose posts I am quoting) in one responsive post, rather than saying the same thing in three different responsive posts.

As a comparison, the Duke men signed two recruits in the fall signing period this month. The players signed their LOIs (Letters of Intent), and Duke issued a release.
Link - GoDuke.com

But Duke is a near lock to sign one of the two uncommitted centers in the 2019 class, both of whom are top five recruits - Isaiah Stewart and Vernon Carey.

The NCAA's early signing period ends on November 21, 2018. But institutions have an additional 14 days to send the commitment to the NCAA.

Remember, a school (and the coaches) cannot discuss a high school player until after she has signed a Letter of Intent. When Aubrey Griffin signed the LOI, it allowed UConn to issue a release to discussing her -- e.g., publicly commenting.

And, more importantly for the Boneyard faithful, think back to 2017. UConn issued a release on November 10, 2018, entitled:
Women's Hoops Adds Top Recruit Christyn Williams for 2018-19.

Yet five days later, on November 15, 2018, UConn issued a release entitled:
Women's Hoops Adds Olivia Nelson-Ododa for 2018-19.

The release here (re Griffin). was NOT to announce the signing of a class, but the signing of a player. The headline from www.uconnhuskies.com states:
Huskies Announce Signing of Aubrey Griffin.

In other words, this was not an announcement of a "class" but the announcement of the signing of a "player."

Remember, when UConn announces a class, it does so:

Nov. 2011 release (HS Class of 2012): Women's Basketball Signs Three Student Athletes to National Letters of Intent.
Nov. 2015 release (HS Class of 2016): Women's Hoops Inks Three in Early Signing Period.

Jones may announce her commitment to UConn tomorrow. Or she may commit to another school. But I would not read too much into the announcement of the signing of Aubrey Griffin, especially since the UConn release was about a player signing and not the signing of an entire recruiting class (and did not state that Griffin was the only recruit for the 2019 recruiting class).

The long and the short of it -- UConn fans should hold off for now on the "We are doomed!" posts. ;)

Michael: Oh yeah?, have you ever gone a week without a rationalization?
