December UConn Recruiting Thread

[MilfordHusky]

If you ever wanted to watch Jaelyn Bates discuss college interest while eating Popeyes, well, here's your chance.

Actually, I set the video to begin when she's answering a question about a "dream school." She lists South Carolina, UConn, and UCLA. Later she mentions that her only true offer thus far is from New Mexico but that she has letters of interest from UConn and others.

If Jaelyn is tall enough to drive, she's tall enough to play. She's a dynamo.

And here is some video of Bates' first game of the season which took place Monday. Bates scored 19 points despite reportedly struggling with cramps.

Jaelyn is playing without glasses this year. I hope she has a great season!

I believe that Mir’s team plays in Fairfax both today and tomorrow. I would go if not visiting my son in Houston.

I don't know if any of you have heard of Jada Williams but I watched her play last night against Incarnate Word Academy, Napheesa Collier's old high school. The announcer said she is the top rated freshman in the country. I could see why. She is really good and gave IWA fits in the first half. IWA's best player, a sophomore whose last name is Tyler, was on the bench most of the first half but when she returned starting the second half, she helped make Williams less effective for the rest the game. IWA came from 13 points down and won the game. It looks as if they will be a Missouri power again. Jada Williams is a name to keep track of the next four years.

I don't know if any of you have heard of Jada Williams but I watched her play last night against Incarnate Word Academy, Napheesa Collier's old high school....Jada Williams is a name to keep track of the next four years.

She has been mentioned in the recruit threads a couple dozen times which you can access below. She's definitely a top talent. She's also already a bit of a brand and a social media star. We'll see if UConn continues their interest.

I recently joked about Geno wanting a 15-player roster before he retires. Maybe that's not so far-fetched.

Ducharme, incidentally, just scored her 1,000th career point as part of a 31-point effort:

Still not making sense to me that another recruit (especially Caroline) was in the bldg and not sitting with Paige, Amari and Azzi.
