I was (truthfully) just counting my blood relatives. With families that averaged 15 per family, up to 1920, the progression seems to say a million of more like you and me in Ct. certainly New England.

That's right. This is their FIRST OFFICIAL class picture. Aren't they beautiful? :D Shout out to the other four on the job they did in convincing her last weekend that THIS is the place she needs to be. Great job ladies, thank you from a grateful UConn Nation. ;) Also a shout-out and thank you to Kia Nurse. We know you had a hand in her recruitment. Job well done.

i LIKE TO CONSULT THOSE THAT KNOW====WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO UCONN?? Is she a game changer??

She is PERFECT for UCONN. Versatile skill set and she is going to work her ass off for herself, the program, her country and her family. Game changer in the sense that with her & Paige in this class UCONN has a realistic chance to move from 11-to 13 or 14 before she graduates. Notice that I skipped right over 12 because that bar is too low IMO.

UConn's starting lineup last year had three #1 recruits in it. There are only four such players in all of America, and three of them were starters for the Huskies. The other two starters were a #3 junior who was the best PG in her class and Collier bringing up the rear. What other team in the country had a Collier as their lowest ranked recruit?
Expand ...

Hindsight is great but I remember that many fans of other programs were not impressed with Collier in HS saying she played weak competition and wouldn't be able to score inside in college because she was too short.
And often the difference between being a top 5 recruit and 25-30 is that the top players got a lot more coaching, individual trainers, etc. in their HS years and progressed faster than others. But once they get to college those 25-30 players often catch up.
But I will admit that of the highly talent HS players UConn gets a good sized share of the most self-motivated and team-oriented players. No Boothes or Holmes in Storrs, despite their uber-talent.
 
Napheesa Collier being ranked lower than other Huskies is of course on a curve. She finished ranked 3, 5, 5, and 6.

15 per family sounds about right. (we're talking French Canadians, right?)

If she is a Morgan Tuck kind of 6-2 (and she appears to have the body to be that), then that is more than enough, especially for a 4 position.

Rebekkah Brunson type with a bit more consistent scoring.

Can you elaborate on this? Which of the following are you asserting:

1. DeBerry does not appear to be interested in UConn or has excluded UConn from consideration?
2. UConn is not interested in DeBerry?
3. UConn is interested in both DeBerry and Kuier, but would not consider a 4-person class arriving on 2021?
4. If Geno has to choose, he will definitely choose Kuier over DeBerry?

They'd take Kuier in a nano second as would everyone though I'm sure UConn is interested in both. I'm just saying Fudd and Kuier is the dream scenario, or more accurately the heavenly scenario.

Keeping it 100! If Kuier were class of 2020 she might be ranked ahead of Paige because of those 7 extra inches. If Kuier were class of 2021 Azzi might no longer be "consensus" #1 especially considering Azzi is recovering from an ACL.
DeBerry stock has also been falling lately to the point that 2022 Betts now looks like a superior prospect. The chance of Kuier playing US college basketball is pretty slim.

don't give up on DeBerry......................she's still very talented and very tall.................if she accepts a UConn offer I know I'll be very happy to have her on the team.........

USA Trials-May 2019: Agile interior prospect brings superior size, defensive presence to the key; alters shots, rebounds and initiates the fast break; offensive firepower brings face up game threat in the key and beyond; mobile in transition game; impacts in the paint; a power-5 prospect in the class of 2021.

How is her last name pronounced?
 
The only programs I noticed (in a very, very quick scan) that Awak followed on Instagram are Oregon St., Oregon, and Maryland, as well as multiple Oregon players.

IMHO, Kuier is not going to play college basketball, she will sign with an agent and start her pro career after high school.

That seems the most likely scenario here, as many of the recent top European players (Vadeeva, Mussina, Rupert, and Fiebich) have all done.
