Welcome, Blanca!

So what does this mean for Somfai and Makeer?

So what does this mean for Somfai and Makeer?

It means that a class of 4 will make a roster of 15, so technically there’s only space for one more.

A class of 5 would only work if we lose more than Aubrey, Kaitlyn and Paige (i.e Azzi and/or Carol don’t use their redshirt years next season).

So what does this mean for Somfai and Makeer?

Somfai is a big so it should not affect her as much as Makeer. Maker is about the same player.

She can move the ball. She can shoot the ball. She reminds me of Maya.

I don't know anything about this kid, but I love the idea of recruiting someone like her. Appears to be tough, skilled, athletic, and battle-tested. An 18-year-old playing in a European league with women in their late 20s. She scores and rebounds. Don't know how good the league is, but it couldn't have been easy to be a teenaged Ecuadorian playing overseas.

I believe that Azzi Has already said that this is her last year.

There is a comparison to Tamika Catchings

So, if it says class of 25, does that mean she’s playing this year?

No. The class of 2025 comes in in 2025

No. The class of 2025 comes in in 2025

Ok, cause typically when they post those with the class, it’s the class of the year they are graduating in, so was confusing. Thanks

OMG! She looks awesome. And this came on so suddenly. I only saw one post about her a few days ago and now she’s committed. I wonder how he found about her. And I’m impressed at how well he kept this under wraps. Was he trying to keep Jeff or José from getting to her first?

 

[Stagnant]

I am not in the program obviously. Just sharing my thoughts as a fan.

This recruitment process reminds me of Inês.

Geno and Morgan recently visited her in Italy according to an article I read.

For recruits, the class of 2025 is referring to year in which they are graduating from high school.

This kid has great footwork, uses both hands; a sleeper pick!

 

[maple]

Woke up to see the good news on IG. Excited to see a new commit!!

That's exactly what this is. The current year is 2024. She will graduate in 2025, and enroll for the 2025-26 season.

I am not a fan of this if it hurts our chances to land Makeer or Somfai.

When UConn recruited Ines, they were in need of extra guards because of injuries. That is not the case with this player.

Why?

 

[Zarathustra]

You have to scroll to see all the highlights... Blanca is Quick,
Athletic, with a good " motor, and plays good defense (I
loved the interception with the high leap for the ball ). The
offense is clear, so the "other things" made me think:
" IN GENO I TRUST ". Welcome Bianca Francheska Quinones
Mina. !!! I think I got the spelling correct!

 

[Zarathustra]

NICE " D" !!! : ... a block, a steal, a tip.....an all round defender!

 

[Zarathustra]

"INES" was a necessity.... This is a plan for the future..... Not the same sort of thing to
my way of thinking.
