Maybe she committed but just didn’t make it public. It’s really not our business when/how she commits. Everyone is different. We get too caught up into these kids personal lives it’s a shame. Whenever/whatever she decides, we’ll just have to wait until the time comes!
I understand that the family has a great relationship with Geno. That is not a problem in the least. I hope other things--whatever they may be--are sufficient to get Azzi to decide on UConn.
Maybe because she's in no rush and doesn't feel the need. And quite possibly, the coach where she's going already knows. None of the schools recruiting her are going to rush her, they can wait for probably the best guard in the country next year. Do you remember when Williams and ONO publicly committed?
I agree that elite players don't choose a college because their friends go there, but if the kids both value and seek the same things--which can be part of the basis for their friendship--their decisions may be the same. The school that best meets the needs of one may also be the school that best meets the need of the other. I believe that may well be true for Paige and Azzi with regard to UConn.
I don't know.
Liv, Christyn, and Megan all committed/announced at school and online during the early signing period. For anyone who is counting, that's about 7-1/2 months away for Azzi's class.
All true, but other than the one visit to ND, I don’t see much contact with the other programs. At the same time, Azzi was back again in Storrs for this year’s UConn-ND game, sitting with Paige, Amari & Caroline Ducharme, while the Huskies were pummeled SB & the Irish. In the recent video of a day in the life of Azzi, Tim Fudd talks about Geno like they’re best buddies. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my part, but I’m just not feelin the love for MM & ND.
Can you point me to something on MD & SC, I.e. campus or coaching visits?
OK. That’s something. About an hour drive to College Park. Call me crazy, but I just don’t see either school in Azzi’s future unless it’s as an opponent.
All excellent points you've made...with no "buts" on my part.
The question I see isn't why hasn't she committed, but why do so few commit so early.
I wasn’t surprised at all to learn how early Auriemma initiated the relationship with Bueckers and her family. I believe he’s done the same with Fudd and hers as well. I’m not concerned about the timing of her commitment, they all have their own way that they’d like to experience it.Liv, Christyn, and Megan all committed/announced at school and online during the early signing period. For anyone who is counting, that's about 7-1/2 months away for Azzi's class.
I honestly think that Azzi has not decided, as she publicly says. She may be leaning, but I think she is still open. I wonder if she would even tell Paige early, for fear that Paige would blab it to the world.
The more I see their personalities, the more I think Azzi and Paige resemble Sue and Diana. That has worked pretty well, hasn't it?
For many of the same reasons, I feel the hometown school in College Park may come up short. While Brenda frequently talks about the “family atmosphere” at MD, the revolving door for top recruits transferring out certainly has to be of concern to Azzi’s family.
Made an UO visit to South Carolina in Oct. ‘18.
Ct. one of the purposes of the Boneyard is precisely for people to share their insights on players, those on Uconn and those on other teams, coaches, and programs, both ours and our opponents. Thats the fun of it.I am truly amazed. I posted a short, fun video for people to enjoy, and now people are replying with in depth psychological insights into the mind of a high school basketball player. No one knows what will impact Azzi's decision as to where and when she will commit. Yet we get all kinds of "expert" opinions about the process and end result. Like everyone else, I hope she chooses UConn, but I admit I have no idea and no insight into her thinking. And neither do any of you.
Still, I hope you are having fun with your in depth analysis.... lol
Speaking of revolving door... have you seen the list of transfers from Geno's family atmosphere? The transfers are so numerous that we're not even having a senior day next year when we should be honoring four graduating players.
