OMG, you’re kidding, right? The place where I work is an obstacle course of doughnuts and cakes (we literally have at least one a week) but I’ve been good. I don’t know if I can resist Cadbury egg ice cream, though

I was kidding. That product doesn’t exist. I wish it did. I was just trying to add some humor to a crazy few weeks :)

Ice Cream should NEVER be the subject of humor! Life is too short!

Do you believe Jones has made a silent commitment to Geno? I sure as heck hope so if he's dropping every other recruit at her position......

Was driving home from work today and thought about something I had forgotten which caused me to rethink my answer to your question.
My previous answer was " absolutely not". I would like to change that to "entirely possible" but it may not be Haley Jones. What I remember was Zia Cooke who UCONN was recruiting pretty hard as late as the summer saying she had dropped UCONN because "UCONN was full"-her words not mine. UCONN is anything but full for the 2019 class. As I said in a previous post just to maintain the roster size and competitiveness UCONN needs at minimum 3 regular rotation & 1 of the three capable of starting in 2019. Zia Cooke could have been a rotation player for UCONN, Samantha Brunelle could have been a starter. So while it may not be a silent committment or Haley Jones specifically UCONN must feel very comfortable with some pretty good players in the 2019 class to be able to walk away (allegedly) from 2 players of that caliber.

Well Geno is a risk taker in that he simply doesn't always have a plan B or C when it comes to recruiting............if I remember correctly he said he was surprised he got CW and almost shocked he got ONO and as you can see he had no high end backups............I'm pretty confident Correa is a yes if UConn offers..........I'm pretty sure they could of had Celeste Taylor too if they wanted but apparently didn't offer her

If he actually said that, I don't believe him. At UConn's level I doubt that anything is left to chance. Do you think he really thought it was possible that he could possibly be having an empty recruiting class? Me neither.

The university needs a coach and soon. They are losing out in this recruiting cycle and may have had a real shot at Sam. She could have been an icon there.

You're suggesting idolatry? Perhaps Va in their hubris thought Dawn would jump at the chance? Is their a rabbit that can be plucked from the hat? I saw activity around Shea on another board, but that ain't happening. Virginia/Carolina Oh No.

Apparently a UVA plane was spotted in South Bend recently. Any P5 program with a vacancy would be foolish not to at least sound out Niele Ivey. The question is does she move now (and her stock will never be higher) or does she wait a couple years for her son to graduate high school?

I wouldn't think it would affect Brunelle much if Ivey went to UVA. Her position coach at ND would be Beth Cunningham. I'm thinking that Cunningham also took the lead in recruiting Sam. For example, the only ND coach that Sam's mom follows on twitter is Cunningham, even though Ivey is the "recruiting coordinator".

I could care less where that plane goes just as long as it stays far away from CT..............;)

Any possibility that the interview in South Bend was for Beth and not Niele? Beth was at VCU (10+ years) for a long time before ND, knows the area and has prior HC experience.

Word on McGraw's Bench is that she and her husband recently purchased a house in South Bend and have put additional money into renovations on that house. She also has four young children (aged 1 to 6 per her ND bio) so the speculation is that she is in South Bend for a while.

Well, it's April 15. Sam will announce later today. Dolphan told us who it will not be. I fully expect that Sam will choose Notre Dame.

Yeah, not a lot of suspense here.
 
My name is Mdoggie and I am a UconnWBBaholic. I afraid I might relapse if "we" dont land Sam.
I need a sponsor available ASAP! Lol

Somebody around here must have the photo of Stewie signing her LOI on the hood of her dad’s car. Not a lot of drama in that, unless you’re a car enthusiast.

Someone has posted a pict of Stewie w/ her mas. The woman knows how to do things w/ cars. No drama? It continues to be the most talked about act of all the signing acts.

What about Megatron's signing? Isn't someone having a special announcement on a Sunday at 4pm that's been publicized for days now all over Twitter

So on April 15, will there be any real suspense that Brunelle is going to ND? Will she have 3 different ND hats on a table and then pick the green one?

No! Brunelle, Bueckers, and Fudd going to ND has been the worst kept secret in WCBB recruiting over the past few months.

I'm willing to believe UConn and many UConn fans now prefer Haley Jones. That doesn't make people suddenly trying to find fault with Brunelle any less funny to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Going through some of these posts I do not understand the logic. So when does a program "stop" recruiting because they have other high prospects on their radar?

Why would anyone cool on a player because a couple bad games (international play) or because defense needs work. Every HS player has tons to work on, even graduating college players for that matter. To me it come down to a few things.

Fit with team/culture, talent/potential and coachability. She is a top talent period, nothing on the court at this point is going to change a desire to recruit her outside of starting fights etc..
