Ayanna Patterson to Uconn

[MilfordHusky]

Does anyone remember March 2019--we had lost out on Aaliyah Boston, Jordan Horston, Haley Jones, and Ezi Magbegor? Things looked glum. Then Geno et al. got to work. They recruited:

Anna Makurat
Paige Bueckers
Nika Muhl
Mir McLean
Aaliyah Edwards
Piath Gabriel
Evina Westbrook
Autumn Chassion
Saylor Poffenbarger
Caroline Ducharme
Amari DeBerry
Azzi Fudd
Isuneh Brady
Ayanna Patterson

Why does it seem everyone is sleeping on Amari DeBerry?

I don't know but that must hurt.

 

[BobbyJ]

I just spit Pepsi all over my keyboard. Thanks a lot.

 

[huskeynut]

WOW WOW WOW

The Beast of the East is alive and well. Its bite just got a lot nastier.

UConn women's basketball is definitely bad for women's college basketball - still!!!!!!!

 

[Dogstar]

WOW!!

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Don't know why, but I like World Exposure's rankings:

 

[JordyG]

Guys I missed the full announcement. If anyone has a recording of it or a link to it please post.

 

[Kaizen]

Don't know why, but I like World Exposure's rankings:

Wow, according to World Exposure we have the #1 and #2 recruits.

 

[Dogstar]

Can't stop watching this video, she's CLEANLY throwing down a dunk off of TWO-FEET, tht takes some serious hops.

 

[Charliebball]

so the big question is will Geno allow AP to dunk in a game? ONO has the dunk in her arsenal but I've never seen her attempt one in her career so far.......

 

[DEpup]

Dang! Geno crushing it. Two years ago some BYers were writing off Genos ability to still attract talent and then dominos started to fall after Paige. Lovin this...

I really think not having as much national team responsibilities, gives more time for recruiting. Getting Paige to sign on the dotted line doesn't hurt either..

 

[The CDR-Ret]

Did anyone know she was at a game last month??

I was at the game that day. CoViD19 relaxations happened effective 10:30 a.m. for a 4 p.m. game, and my son is an Alum, so we lucked into tickets because we jumped on it quickly. Was not looking for her, so I did not see her.

Probably fewer than 100 UCONN fans there, but we were treated to 14 assists by Paige. Being at the top of Hinkle Fieldhouse {Hoosiers fame} was pretty cool, and Butler staying close through 3 quarters was a surprise. Paige & Company owned the start of the fourth quarter...

Buckle your seat-belts, four in a row was amazing, five in a row will be fantastic!!!

Can't stop watching this video, she's CLEANLY throwing down a dunk off of TWO-FEET, tht takes some serious hops.

Without a lot of effort either.

For those who don't venture into the recruit thread:

 

[Kaizen]

At eighth grade Ayanna can reach the rim altrady (2017 video).

 

[Plebe]

Without a lot of effort either.

Yes exactly, CASUAL.

 

[DEpup]

With a front court of AE, Ice and Ayanna, there will be very few rebounds available for the opposing team and if you add Azzi and Paige or Nika and Caroline Ducharme or Saylor and Paige, etc...5 headed monster on the court at all times...

Don't forget about Amari and I think Piath will be a defensive force by the time AP hits campus.

 

[Charliebball]

For those who don't venture into the recruit thread:

oh my..........that UConn fast break is going to be very, very nasty........

 

[Dogstar]

For those who don't venture into the recruit thread:

You've gotta be kidding me, clearly has the collage frame and ga, but with Uconn can she handle the pressure, the expectations, and the fame? .... I thk so!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Paige is going to have to work hard on her dunking to be able to keep up!

Ayanna Patterson, No. 3 recruit in Class of 2022, commits to UConn women

UConn women’s basketball gained a commitment in the Class of 2022 on Saturday, as Ayanna Patterson — the No. 3 recruit in the class per ESPN — announced that she’ll be joining the Huskies next fall. Patterson, a 6-foot-2 wing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, is the second ’22 player to announce their...

Wowzers!!! I've been on pins and needles for the past half hour searching the web for her decision. Now I can breathe again and just be ashamed at how bad UCONN is once again for women's basketball. I was ashamed by Paige and ultra ashamed by Azzi and now I'll have to wallow in more shame because of Ayanna. Oh, well.

Veteran, no need to scour the web for news of this nature. Just come to the Boneyard. We've got some "crack" news hounds here. 90 seconds after a coveted recruit's reveal, the decision will be posted here.

 

[bluedevil]

She must like to dive for loose balls..her jeans are all ripped..

 

[Blueberries]

Whoa. I hadn’t heard a ton about her except that she wasn’t likely to choose UConn. Someone willing to get me up to speed?!

If you managed to read through up to this point, I think you should be up to speed.
