ESPN 2022 class ranking

[Stoli]

UConn number 4?

 

[CocoHusky]

This is DOA and contradictory already Oregon State got #6 (Gardner) and #10 Beers , UCONN got #4 Patterson and #5 Brady yet they OSU ahead of UCONN. Throw it out start over!

How many times before have you seen an Oregon State WBB recruiting class ranked #3 in the Nation (yes, it is subject to change)? LIKE NEVER!! Go Beavs!

Well, while player rankings are likely the most important factor affecting class ranking, there are surely other factors like filling needs, fitting the school's system, total number of recruits...

 

[Kaizen]

UConn has 2 of the top 5, #4 and #5 and is ranked #4, while Oregon has only 1 of the top 10, #7 and #13 and is ranked #1? I don't buy it.

 

[Glenn]

Espn gives too much weight to quantity of signings.

Quantity vs Quality

 

[HuskylnSC]

I fully expect a follow-up article where 'Team A Leaps in the Recruiting Rankings'. Click bait followed by more click bait.

 

[Waquoit]

UConn has 2 of the Top 5? The beat goes on.

 

[oldhusky]

Clearly quantity over quality. If Rice chooses Uconn I think they would reluctantly have to make Uconn #1. On the other hand if she chooses Stanford, we would likely drop to #5 with Stanford perhaps getting #1 and passing us.

Another factor is there is no consideration for the existing roster. When you already have a very talented and deep roster, adding a player in the 50-100 range probably doesn't move the needle for you at all. That player is not likely to be in the rotation. In Uconn's current situation going after the top dogs is the obvious strategy because they might break into the rotation and make a difference. If you get them great, if not you still have players to complete the rotation that are better than most 50-100 level recruits.

Soon to be 3.

 

[Plebe]

Noteworthy that 5 of the top 6 in this list are Pac-12 teams, plus Washington (!) as the interloper at #10. Tina Langley already making a splash.

It’s curious to see there is no by-line on this. The only reference is to Premier Basketball which I believe is an organization that runs AAU basketball leagues and tournaments. Hard to take seriously.

The Premiere Basketball team now runs ESPN's NCAA women's basketball recruit coverage. It was likely Shane Laflin who ranked them.

Even when they do they wont make it further than the sweet 16 bc their coach cant coach imo.

Hmm, how to explain a Final 4 in '16 and Elite 8 in '18 then? Just got lucky?

2 years out 100 may the church say amen.....yeah your on an upward trend. What have you done lately ?

 

[MSGRET]

Has Dawn's head exploded yet by not being ranked in the Top 16?

Curious why you think Rueck can't coach. I've always heard that he's a great coach and resurrected the Oregon State program. Curious as to your rationale.

If that didn’t do it, surely losing Janiah Barker to UGA today would.

 

[Vowelguy]

Uconn is ranked 4th. Thus, "hard to take seriously." Must be biased. "They'd reluctantly make UConn #1."

When I used to compile rankings, I had a formula for putting them together by school. However it came out, it came out.

I know it's hard for folks to believe that something could actually not lead to Uconn be #1 in every area every time.

She lost out to another SEC team in recruiting!

Joni Taylor was the SEC COY in 2021 and her GA Bulldogs may well become SC’s biggest threat to their recent dominance of the conference. By securing Barker, Taylor secured the type of player that Dawn has regularly locked up at SC.

 

[Cuango]

All you need to know is that this is an ESPN list. They despise UConn for several reasons and do everything they can to avoid acknowledging them as the top in anything. Not surprising at all! Color me desperately hoping we go undefeated and shove their anti-UConn bias up their noses!

The lower your recruits are ranked the more points you get. If he wasn’t dead I would have thought Prof. Irwin Corey was handling these rankings.
