Brunelle To ND

[oldude]

As I’ve thought more about this, if as Dolphin and others have indicated, UConn cooled on Brunelle, including pulling a scholarship offer, there’s something more going on than the Huskies simply determining they had more athletic wings lined up in the class of 2019.

I have a theory, which I will keep to myself, unless & until Brunelle announces her intention to attend ND or any other school not located in Storrs, CT.

UCONN doesn't do consolation prizes. UCONN is pursuing Haley Jones, who is all that and a bag a chips and is what Sam couldn't be.

And the rationalization begins!

More like continues & you really need to catch up.

 

[CocoHusky]

These are the facts:
1. Sam is announcing her college decision today
2. Uconn is included in her finalists
3. There will be ice cream

any additional "insider" information (especially from random, new posters) should be taken with a grain of salt. Therefore, I hope Sam, her family, and friends all have a wonderful time today!! No matter where she lands, one university is going to get an awesome student-athlete!

Ice cream?

Is there, though? Seems to me that that is the most likely explanation.

are aliens involved?

 

[Sonofabeach]

What time will she be making her announcement?

Brunelle plans to reveal her college choice in the gym at William Monroe High School at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 15.

No, but through the years I have stayed at Holiday Inn Express on multiple occasions.

OK, here’s a teaser. In all the years I’ve been following Geno and UConn, I can not think of a single time Geno offered a scholarship only to pull the offer, solely based on the fact that he may have had more athletic/talented players lined up.

Yea right! Then what would the conspiracy theorist have to talk about.
That kind of logic didn't seem to apply when Candace Parker did not make the 2016 Olympic Team.

I can only because this one actually made the paper. For the 2014 class UCONN stopped pursuing Taylor Rooks in favor of Sierra Calhoun and Gabby Williams. That turned out to be the right decision.

did he just stop pursuing or actually pull the offer? Seems to me that the latter is not a good practice...........

I think we’re in for a surprise here.

The consensus here in the yard says she's headed to Notre Dame. What say you?

South Carolina?........

To borrow from a poster on a Duke forum: "Unless she had been trolling ND for 3 months she's going there. She has liked every ND WCBB for 3 months straight Her choice is the worst kept secret or she is an absolute game player."

Guess I need to start hanging out on a Duke Forum

I'm not sure we would know if or when an offer was "pulled" considering half the time we don't know when or if the offer was extended. For example, do we know if Horston has an offer?

 

[WiseOne]

I’m hoping it’s still UCONN but she might choose ND to be in the ACC so her boyfriend at Clemson can make a couple games!?? Not really sure but I still want her at UCONN!

 

[DEpup]

I really think the focus is on Haley Jones and SB knows it so I would expect her to choose ND. I also think her choice will have no influence on any other highly ranked recruits that she has been photographed with at other positions making a UConn decision.

I kind of doubt Horston has an offer but wished they would make her one...... ...............from what I have seen/read she can play a bit out of control so she might find herself in Geno's dog house but her upside at both ends of the court is tremendous.............................in general I would think there's a big difference though between just cooling your interest in a recruit which is totally normal and actually reneging on an offer...............pulling an existing offer is not something a coach wants to be known for unless there has been a serious issue of some kind with the recruit...........Brunelle has or had a UConn offer, I simply can't believe that Geno pulled it unless she told him that she was no longer interested in UConn..........

I'm with you. Getting some funny cross-currents, despite the obvious mainstream opinion.

Don't know what to make of them.

Had they actually offered Rooks?
