August recruiting thread

[BobbyJ]

Feels a lot more glowing than anything I have heard, but it is worth noting that she was clearly better later in the season than she was in the fall and winter. If that national team form transfers to club play, it would be quite notable. I know one school on their list that I hope not to see as her final destination.

Thanks, this would confirm my initial impressions from the very little video I saw. Some skills improvement is usually possible but a certain level of athleticism and lateral quickness has to be there to be an impact big at UConn and I'd need to see a lot more of her in action to see if she has it.

Not sure if Geno would say it but for me she's the most talented basketball prodigy I've seen since Paige Bueckers.......

Offer her NOW!!! She can do it all.

[Charliebball]

I have to think it's likely the earliest offer Geno has ever made.........and for good reason as her bball talent is undeniable.....

Wow....just wow! Charlie....who is she? What class? I want to follow her.

Smith is class of 2027. She's 13, lives in the LA area and plays spring and summer ball for Team Taurasi, the elite 17U team of the California Storm program based in Malibu. Most top college programs have known about her for at least 5 years and she already has dozens of offers from D1 schools including UConn, SC, UCLA, Arizona, etc. This clip is her in 4th grade.

Thanks. For those of us that don’t follow the recruits on the come as much as others, I’m respectfully requesting that whenever you (anyone) post a video, also include the name and class of the player that is being featured.

Don’t assume that we all know who she is. I was very impressed with this player, but as I was watching her, I had no idea who she was. Thank you in advance. Keep these videos coming. It’s the only way some of us will know who is in the talent pipeline.

Since my initial query, I’ve been informed of who she is, and where she goes to school. I will attend one or more of her high school games. It’s in a nearby suburb to me. She’s very much worth the price of admission. I’m looking forward to it.

She’s 6-6. I wonder if there was a write in campaign from some Boneyarders to add UConn to her list of interests

I provide one vote for Clara Silva! Zarathustra

So, I started this spreadsheet tonight. It’s incomplete but I wanted to get input before spending a ton of time on this. I know there are names missing - help me out.

• I do see the typo on Gandy’s last name. I will fix with the next update.
• Also, I didn’t realize Morgan Cheli and McKenna Woliczko are high school teammates
• Need to add Justice Carlton. UConn is in her top 5

UConn offered Jerzy

 

[pvdoggy]

Looking at the listed posted above, I wonder how many offers does usually Uconn or a top program make each year? Did Uconn really only makes 4 offers for 2024?

UConn offered Jerzy

Many D1 players don't see the floor at this level!

This is a tremendous effort that many will greatly appreciate. You will need and probably get constant feedback from the Boneyard about players they think are on the radar, or whose status has changed, and much of that may be somewhat subjective or more reading between the lines, but it still has considerable value IMO for most of the people on this site.

 

[Jibariqua]

Sienna Betts 2025 UCONN in her top 11
Jazzy Davidson 2025 not sure if there is an offer just something but I have heard there is.

 

[Blakeon18]

Fantastic info...thank you!

Maybe add Jenica Lewis...Iowa...high school class of 2026
Reportedly UConn is her dream school...have we offered?
