its ok to start a fresh thread, we have the "Unlimited" package... but it was cool to piggyback off some of the stuff that was posted in that thread. Some new stuff deserve a fresh start and its own thread as well

We need another Collier!!!

Her willingness to attend the game far from Texas seems to indicate a willingness to strongly consider Uconn as a possible school.

How did our other recruit from Texas do? 3 National Championships and counting. All-American as a junior. Lieberman Award winner as a junior. Can break the UConn career assist record currently held by the best player in the world. Loved by coaches, teammates, and fans. I'd say it worked out rather well.

Hmmm, road trip to a huge NCAA game vs. 4 years of XXXXXXX. Nope, I would not draw a conclusion from the former about anyone's enthusiasm for the latter.

We also need another Lone Star State recruit who goes all the way to Storrs and has a great experience there. But yes, two Colliers would be nuce too...

yeah, a perennial NC and an also ran

Geno, don't let her leave the campus.

Well, let's hope. If ever there was a year that her home-state Longhorns might be able to play us a competitive game, next year is it (Dec 4 at Mohegan Sun, the day before her Storrs visit). Would be a great time for the Huskies to kick some more Texas butt!!! Charli just lives a 3-1/2 hour drive from Austin.

Isn't this talking about last December's game against Notre Dame? It seems we play Notre Dame at Notre Dame in the upcoming season.

"A recruiting update includes, I took an unofficial to USC a couple weekends back, and am going to UConn December 5th. I plan to go to many more. come back next month for more updates!

Thank you!"

It looks like the OP link is from a blog which is linked to an ESPN article from July 2015. I'm guessing her visit already happened. Last December (2015). Anyone recall?

Oops

Well she should come back Dec 5th again this year - same double treat, only game is with TX this time.

Another Collier would be nice, but what we need is a tall Saturday Evening Post. (this 2/3 of a pun is for old-timers)

Here's another Collier (Collyer) for the old-timers:

well, this is the best shot we could hope to have at this time, no? Maybe Charli could see that Stewie is clearly gone, the difference without her, albeit relatively ephemeral, will be palpable, and that Notre Dame will probably win that game. I mean, a step back is inevitable when you lose the historically great 2012 recruiting class , but a visit could help give Charli some insight as to how a program like UConn could take many steps forward with th contributions of the next wave of recruits of her caliber. Within one single golden era, Uconn could win two NCs and 78 in a row with Maya and Tina together, and Uconn turned things around quickly after Maya and Tina graduated. Four NCs later and 75 consecutive victories, and UConn will need new championship formulas. I believe in Geno, and it's interesting to learn how he makes Recruits do the same.

Visit was supposed to happen last season, never happened. Father being ill maybe had something to do with that??
