Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2599338, member: 7874"] Some info from west coast sources on 247sports Prospects Nation's top ranked 2018 international recruit from Australia [B][COLOR=#ff0000]is rumored to want to play at UCLA or at least has it as a favorite university according to a source at the [U][COLOR=#0080ff]UConn Boneyard forum[/COLOR][/U].[/COLOR][/B] If that is true, is this statement directly related to UCLA or is it just a general statement? If she is in fact referring to waiting on UCLA to offer a scholarship, it would mean that the coaching staff has yet to offer, no? "I'm leaning towards either staying here (Australia) or going to college in the U.S. I guess it just depends on what offers I get here and whether or not I get offered a scholarship at the school in America I want to go to." At 6-3, she's long and athletic and pretty fluid for a player her size, exactly the type of player Coach Close seems to like, and with added height or length. I know the staff is after another long, athletic and fluid 2019 international player in No. 2 overall by Hoopgurlz in Laeticia Amihere out of Canada, but I hope that they have or will offer Magbegor, who is friends with Chantel I believe. Here's the video the quote is taken from with some with some highlights. Fingers crossed because UCLA will need some height and elite talent in the post to keep battling to become/stay a powerhouse in the coming years. [B]Coach Cori and Coach Tony traveled to Australia last September "for 48 hours recruiting a very good player[/B] who is an even better person! She will be visiting in late January or February." Also considering UConn and Oregon so [B]presumably the "very good player" is indeed Magbegor[/B] and one can assume she's received a scholarship offer. Magbegor would be a great front court addition as we bid goodbye to Mo at the end of this season. Magbegor has talent enough to go pro in Australia so it will be interesting to see if she decides to go the NCAA WBB route. She played with the Basketball Australia's Centre of Excellence so highly likely Chantel knows Magbegor. Hope the staff and team can convince her to become a Bruin! [/QUOTE]
