From ESPN article announcing Azzi's decision:

"So how many championships does Fudd want?

"Well, obviously four," she said."

 

[EricSD]

Congrats Azzi! You get to play with your best friend, learn from the best coaching staff, and UCONN will officially be bad for basketball for many years to come. I hope all your personal and basketball dreams come true!

ESPN HG wasted no time - she's already listed as choosing UCONN.

Interesting factoid - if the NCAA does indeed allow every winter sport player an extra year eligibility, Paige and Azzi could play together 4 years.

UCONN fans can now exhale... I bet this will be the longest thread in history.

 

[Centerstream]

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

Isn't Evina eligible for the WNBA after this season? If so, and she is projected as a high draft pick, I would think that she would enter the draft.
On second thought, we probably need a new thread to discuss this.

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

Who is this Azzi kid? Is she any good?

 

[eebmg]

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

and I am guessing Autumn will be the best Walk on in the country.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I like that they stopped to take questions from viewers. Down to earth, simple, fast. loled at "don't know if Paige knows, this might be a surprise for her too" heheh

Judging from comments, most of the team were following the IG feed. They must have jumped out of their chairs!

 

[eebmg]

Oh, Almost Forgot. Caroline and Saylor signing today. Tough act to follow.

 

[Kevin G]

Damn! UCONN just got scary good....again! Welcome Azzi

 

[ucbart]

In 2021-2022 the UConn bench will be ranked in the top 25.

Stop it. That was said MULTIPLE times during the 2000-2001 season and look how that turned out.

 

[psconn]

Holy smoke! SO. MANY. GUARDS!

 

[CocoHusky]

So UConn will have 14 players in 2021-2020.

15 if Evina decides to stay and the rosters will also be expanded beyond 15 because of COVID.

 

[CL82]

I...uh, I... have... no... words...

That is an unreal amount of talent.

(still doomed though.)

 

[MilfordHusky]

Nah best response was when she was asked what’s she’s going to major in... she said “Basketball”

Under Professor Auriemma.

 

[Jim]

and I am guessing Autumn will be the best Walk on in the country.

Well, she certainly will be in the running for walk-on with the most National Championship rings.

 

[eebmg]

Under Professor Auriemma.

Tough grader I hear.

 

[UConn2SF]

 

[MilfordHusky]

So we can expect a comment from Geno soon.

After he gets all 4 LOIs, Geno will issue a statement. After that, the Horde will ask him questions.

 

[eebmg]

Well, she certainly will be in the running for walk-on with the most National Championship rings.

Just preparing for her Pulido moment.

 

[eebmg]

The guy on the ladder was wearing Blue and White. Easy clue

 

[Alydar]

After he gets all 4 LOIs, Geno will issue a statement. After that, the Horde will ask him questions.

I think I read that he has the Fudd letter. Anyhow it's a lot better than having to wait 6 months for a comment, like with Bueckers.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Congrats, looks like UCONN and South Carolina will probably have a Final Four meeting or two.

 

[ktuck911]

I'm officially elated.... Welcome Azzi!!!!!!

 

[Rb335]

They all seem to be so good or have so much potential, but it's hard to see all staying when Geno doesn't like to play more than 7 or 8. Have we ever had such a potentially deep roster?

I recall similar sentiments after we signed Walker, Hunter, Coombs, and Gordon. It seemed as if we could run the table for years, but this would be their Senior year and none of them remain. Playing time has a way of sorting itself out.

Even though we have so much talent, I bet it was clear to Azzi that she'd backup Christyn Williams her freshman season, then have a clear path as a 3 year starter at the 2.

 

[pvdoggy]

I am very pleasantly surprised she picked Uconn.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Welcome, Azzi! You made a great choice! Geno will make you even more successful!

I was alway confident, but never certain that Azzi would choose UConn. It's a great fit for her.

I've seen her play 10 games over 3 seasons in 4 different states. If SJC has a season, I'll go watch her again. From watching her interact with teammates, coaches, fans, and family, it's obvious what a great young woman she is. She will be an asset to the UConn family in many ways. I'm thrilled that Azzi has chosen UConn.

Now is everyone happy? Now can we get down to the business of playing basketball and developing the current players into a championship TEAM?

No shortage of talent for the next 3 years. The only thing that remains is the 7ft Russian player Ivana Stepalloverya.

 

[Kaizen]

This morning I saw Azzi's Instagram front page I think she gives hint she will choice UConn already.

 

[Skeets]

Now is everyone happy? Now can we get down to the business of playing basketball and developing the current players into a championship TEAM?

No shortage of talent for the next 3 years. The only thing that remains is the 7ft Russian player Ivana Stepalloverya.

I understand that Stepalloverya is a real beast.
