Are there any 6' 5'' or 6' 6" strong centers being considered by UConn and hotly pursued? Seems like we have a lot of Guards joining the Team and wondered if we are going to get some real height.

Not a lot of players that tall in general much less elite prospects.

UConn is recruiting 6'4 Adhel Tac for '24.

Apologies for being late in posting this. Fournier is getting another opportunity to train with the Canadian National team in France this week. Also interesting to see that Syla Swords of LuHi is also part of this group. No insight as to whether UConn has expressed any interest however.

In case anyone didn’t see the Morgan Cheli thread, she was at the South Carolina game. 6-1 guard from CA. #18 in class of 2024

Geno clearly very, very high on Cheli who has an offer.

How come Dawn Staley ends up with all the trees?

We are getting Sarah Strong. Amari, Dorka and Liv are trees.

This is a recruiting thread.

Stop talking about women’s’, clothes, hair, makeup, etc. Just stop

Meet Steward girls basketball freshman phenom Sanai Green, a top recruit nationally in the Class of 2026

Her bevvy of D-I offers includes Tennessee, Mississippi State, Florida State, Kentucky, Virginia Tech and Virginia. Green is still just 14 years old.

A 6'5" physical big like Dolson or a 6'4" 4/5 like Stewie would be just fine. UConn has always been at its best when its 4's and 5's run the court and are able to play multiple roles (pass, shoot, pick, etc.) in UConn's motion offense.

High school girls basketball: Kate Koval of nationally-ranked Long Island Lutheran uses time on court to escape from thoughts of war in Ukraine

MaxPreps News - Junior post came to the United States two years ago but her father still lives in Kyiv as Russian invasion approaches second year.

I think Kate Koval could be a good fit; she is solid at rebounding, blocks shots and has a good outside shot. UConn has interest in her, her team has a very high level schedule, they have played 10 games against teams ranked in the top 25 of ESPN, MaxPreps or Blue Star and 5 of the other 7 games were against top 10 states (NJ, MD, DC, PA). This is one of only two juniors left on the roster for the Naismith high school POY.

What is the prevailing thought on recruits knowing how depleted Connecticut is right now and does it have an impact on their decision-making? Is it a positive in that we are still doing so well with so few or did they just see the struggles Connecticut is having

[BobbyJ]

Lots of coordination, footwork, and savvy for a 14-15 yo who's that big. Having strength and being able to use both hands already is rare. UConn should stay all over this kid. A 2026 class of The Big O, Jacy Abil, and Sanai Green would be outstanding.

She’s a future Husky. I’m claiming it.

Sometimes you see a player who doesn't have to think about things and plays with a fearless attitude. This is one.

Olivia Vukosa indeed would be great- Christ the King player too

Looks like SC and LSU, like UC, are positioning for a long term lease on final 4 space

Fingers crossed that Tina joins the staff next season. Helping recruit a big from her alma mater could do us wonders.

Sarah Strong: 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-4 3-PT), 5 rebs, 7 assists, 6 steals

Does she have to join the staff to help recruit?

Does she have to join the staff to help recruit?

Yes. As a former player, Tina is automatically a booster and therefore not allowed to recruit without violating NCAA rules

any idea why ESPN does not show anything about Ziebell picking UConn? I know they hate us, but this seems silly and petty. Do they really think that if they don't show it she may change her mind, or other recruits won't find out. In the first clip of Fisher it appears she jogs back on defense after her bucket. Geno will have to fix that.

Ooh! That's an advanced level shot!

Because it’s just a verbal commitment. It’s not binding on either party and Allie could change her mind and go elsewhere. (I hope not, but it’s happened before). It would be irresponsible to celebrate a verbal

I think what Ralph means is why is UConn not listed as her school on their list which happens after a verbal announcement, and I believe they just haven't updated recently. Shane Laflin runs the operation now and he's anything but anti-UConn.
