She's not leaving That state tho! Lol

I think UConn's chances with Dangerfield are quite good. Wish I felt a little better about Lauren Cox though.

I also feel UCONN has a good chance at landing her. I believe itll come down to both schools tbh. Holly has been trying to keep a tight hold on in state talent. She's going all out for Ms. Dangerfield and a pretty good leaning Chassity Carter. This will be an interesting recruiting battle imo.

But hasn't Tenn signed a highly rated point guard (forgot her name) in the 2015 class and won't that play into Dangerfield's decision?

 

[AnotherVolFan]

Tea Cooper....yes they have but trust me, that still hasn't stopped Holly. I believe thats the reason why UCONN does have such a good chance at pulling her out of state.

Oh I understand Holly will try and keep her in Tenn. I'm also sure Holly realized that signing Cooper (important piece to the Deshields transfer) might jeopardize her ability to sign Dangerfield.

I'm just impressed that on his day off from USA basketball obligations Geno traveled to Tenn to visit a recruit.

It seems odd to me too and a little bit of the past repeating itself where Tennessee went after great talent regardless of position and wound up without a true point guard for several years.

It's rubbing off now I'm repeating myself...

 

[Gate81]

has anybody heard anything yet on Zandalasini, or is there a surprise coming on 11/12?

 

[Kibitzer]

It is impossible to avoid thinking that Geno will make Ms Zandalasini an offer that she can't refuse.

 

[geneticrex]

With some of the best apizza on the planet in Ct., she simply cannot go to California.

It would be an INFAMIA!!!

 

[Kibitzer]

It is impossible to avoid thinking that Geno will make Ms Zandalasini an offer that she can't refuse.

. . . and this offer transmitted through CD, as consigliere.

Geez, now I hope this girl doesn't own a horse!

 

[Gate81]

well Cal thinks they are out of the running....

 

[rocky rococo]

I believe I heard something about "No more Euros!" at some point.

SON: not to mention a name that is nothing short of melodic...on top of that step back jumper that could be a dagger. Know I'm going out on a limb here (been there), but with little data I'm starting to hope we go after this kid for many reasons.

With her name she could be our diva.

If we did get her would there still be an opening for a Big (greater need)?

Yes, recruiting a Big would remain a priority even if we did get Ms. Z. Are there any reports either she is interested in Uconn or vice-versa?

SLU: nice call on Dangerfield. Crystal ball looking a little better re Cox now?

ROCK: aren't they declining in value?

 

[winlots]

Worth noting with regard to this kid that Coach has said recently that he wishes he had an entire squad of kids from Europe. In that context, and given her evident talents, seems kind of unusual that no one seems to have an answer for JDUB's question above. I sure don't .

 

[ABachelor6CR]

Don't you remember what he said after Sveta? "That's it! NO MORE GD Foreigners!"

 

[Tonyc]

We were in Italy for 2 weeks in September. When talking to Italians they all know Geno everybody knows him. He is a legend in Italy.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

No feel for what Cox may do at all. Still hoping the staff can convince her she's a perfect fit for UConn's style.

 

[UcMiami]

Italians are NOT foreigners! (At least not to Geno!)

 

[winlots]

Will she be playing in Turkey?

MIL: only on Thanksgiving.

 

[asuwish]

Attenzione, Coach! Zandalasini ranked #4 or so? What's not to like?? Fascini, Geno, fascini!

If Geno doesn't want her than maybe another Italian American coach who is part of USA basketball should try to get her. Jen Rizzotti should try to get a game changer. U of H is on the east coast and Rizzotti has the coaching resume if not the school name to at least try. European player are not usually as ingrained by the the sports lore of these schools. Look at where many European end up. Does she have anything to lose?
