Hearing smoke of Cardoso to Texas

[Jronp]

I live in Texas and that’s the word floating around Austin. Like always...we will see!

If anyone can build a team around a 6’7” player it’s Vic Schaefer.

 

[hoopsfan22]

If she were coming to UConn it would have happened already, so I'll be curious to see where she ends up.

Makes a lot of sense from a basketball perspective. She'd be a focal point from day 1 and has a coach with a great track record of developing posts (McCowan, Carter, and 1 year of Collier), plus he's loading up with other talented players so they may be back in the title hunt in 2-3 seasons.

Agree if she plans to come to UConn she will announce already.
Texas is a good choice. But I thought everyone is trying to escape from Texas..

Who's Carter?

 

[chrissaran]

There's nothing anyone can do about it. If she chooses UConn, so be it. If she doesn't choose UConn, so be it. It's not going to keep me up at night.

One of the last bigs that Shaeffer recruited to Miss. St. A 6-5 post from Georgia.

 

[CTisballers]

I would like to see her at Duke but overall she did like a tweet on Tina Charles picture in the néw mystic uniforms.

 

[wolfe613]

didn't a week ago ppl say here it was a done deal to Uconn cause she was following players on the team? lol

 

[eebmg]

She see's Collier go number one in the WNBA draft and might not get beaten down by a soon to be weakened Baylor (I imagine). Makes sense to me.

 

[nuna23]

I don't want her in SC or Louisville ....yeah texas is good for her but if she want to win a cham and be the top 5 draft she should join uconn but are u guy's shore that geno recruit her ??? my answer is noooo I don't think that

Agreed. My initial unbridled enthusiasm upon learning that she had interest in coming here is waning day by day. Too many coaches courting her, and courting her hard. Mulkey (LSU) needs some experienced height real bad.

Despite her perceived warts as outlined here by our esteemed colleagues, there are other programs that would love to have her. Whether she comes here or not, I think we have the pieces in place next season to make a serious run to the NC.

Who's Carter?

Jessika Carter

She played behind McCowan for a year and then moved into a starting role for Mississippi State.

 

[Wbbfan1]

Texas is a logical choice for Cardoso. However if I"m her, I would strongly consider LSU now that Kim Mulkey is there. Texas and LSU would make more sense the Auburn. UConn makes sense for her as well, I don't know what Impact she would have on the other post players currently on the roster if she chose UConn

 

[oldude]

It’s worth repeating that there is no indication UConn is pursuing Cardoso. With the exception of Stanford and perhaps UConn, there are probably several hundred D1 programs who are pursuing Cardoso.

If we look at her senior year of HS, she did not have a bunch of offers to choose from because she had not yet earned a high enough SAT/ACT test score. Remember that English is her 2nd language.

While other schools passed on Cardoso, Coach Q may have been the only coach to take a chance and offer her a scholarship. Subsequently, Cardoso earned the requisite standardized test score as well as academic all-conference honors in the ACC.

Now, just about everyone wants Cardoso. She is a smart young lady who has until July 1 to make her decision. While a lot of transfers feel the need to commit quickly lest they lose the offer, no school who wants Cardoso is going to pull their scholarship offer if she doesn’t commit right away.

If I were advising her, I would tell her to finish her coursework at Syracuse (Finals end May 21). Then review all the offers, pare down the list to your top few, go visit the schools, meet with the coaches and then, and only then, make your decision.

We all want to know where she’s heading sooner rather than later. At 6’7”, with significant upside potential, Cardoso has the luxury to take her time and make the best choice for her.

 

[gold2323]

I still would like to see her at UCONN….one never knows about injuries and other unforeseen factors ….more depth is never an issue….I thought Tara managed her extremely talented team quite well this season….to the richer go the spoils….

Dear God, is Cardoso coming to UConn?

I would also imagine that Mulkey at LSU is putting out a full court press to acquire this "big" as she once said: that she will take all of the "bigs" that she can get.

Well, Pope Francis is from South America. So maybe he can shed some divine light on Cardoso’s decision.

 

[huskeynut]

The original source of Cardoso's transferring to either UConn or Auburn was never confirmed as far as I know.

So, despite all the hype on this board, there is no word of her commitment to UConn or whether Geno showed any interest. My guess is Cardoso will not be coming to UConn and I'm okay with that.
