Don't Fret about UConn Transfers

Best that dead horse

the point that (to the best of my knowledge) UConn hasn't recruited foreign players with rare exception even when there are a few really good one out there, is actually a brand new horse for me to beat.....................although I certainly would never actually beat a horse...............

What does international women’s high school basketball look like? It’s big time for the men. Helped Gonzaga men elevate to an elite team.

Some of the Euros aren't playing for high school teams, they play for a club team against grown up dudes.

Geno recruited a girl from France just last year. I forget where she ended up

Sounds like the men. Are they freshman eligible for WCBB? Have you seen the rookie first round draft pick of the Dallas Mavericks- these Euros are mature players at 20 years old

Oh sorry, I was referring to the men. I know Sabonis was playing against older players before he came stateside, probably others as well.

I really don't watch much if any NBA. I have seen Doncic highlighted on ESPN a little bit and have gathered he's playing at a high level as a rookie.

I hear ya! Doncic is an all-star as a rookie. Sabonis may be 6th man of the year. (I get the package, so I can get all the Celtics games here in Maryland. The Wizards not as much fun.)
How about for the girls overseas? You would think basketball for women would be growing worldwide like it is for me. The USA women have been great for decades. WNBA still kind of weak?

I don't know much about international women's hoops. I know there are a whole bunch of Australian players in the US playing college ball, they seem to have a good developmental system over there. There are a smattering of European players from various different countries, I don't know that there's any particular hotbed. South Florida is known for having a roster dominated by international players. Washington St. is similar.

I'm embarrassed to say I posted a story about the best college ready European players but I don't remember what thread it was under..........if you look at some video, these ladies are fundamentally sound and can really play.........

Good job! Thanks!
The men are generally very fundamentally sound. That would suit Geno’s system well!

Was in the run for the Aussie too.
