Via Europe? Some of the Eastern European countries have players that have experience in lower pro leagues, would gain from US college and english language experience, and not have the immediate need to start.
My mother used to say that she got into Harvard. She went down to Cambridge, saw an open door and walked right in.I don’t think so. However I’m walking on to the LA Rams. Is that’s how it’s done? The player makes the announcement, not the team or school? There have been no walk on announcements so far.
Again?I’m starting my workout regime next week lol
It’s always next Monday.Again?
With the low number of scholarship players on the roster I'm inclined to believe the report about a late signing and I'll say that
Ines Bettencourt makes sense. Doesn't matter to me where she comes from, I trust the the abiliity of the staff to evaluate.
Yes, someone believes. Not sure who.Not to pour more cold water on this subject , it should be pointed out that freshman “move in” day at UConn is tomorrow. Classes start on Monday. Does anyone really believe that Ines Bettencourt, or any other recruit will announce their decision to attend UConn one day before they are supposed to be on campus?

It was @stamfordhusky and this poster always knows what he talking about when it comes to NCAA/academic matters.Somewhere in this thread or the recruiting thread, someone said they have up to 12 days after to enroll. But I don't know. I'm not expecting anyone else to sign for 2022
I’m sure that’s true. But why would someone wait to start the fall semester?Somewhere in this thread or the recruiting thread, someone said they have up to 12 days after to enroll. But I don't know. I'm not expecting anyone else to sign for 2022
Right but doesn’t know how to spell Stanford? Give me a break lol JK. @stamfordhuskyIt was @stamfordhusky and this poster always knows what he talking about when it comes to NCAA/academic matters.
Embassies and admissions don't work on Boneyard time. If there is someone coming, it might not be that they want to wait, but rather they are waiting for other pieces to fall into place.I’m sure that’s true. But why would someone wait to start the fall semester?
They wouldn't want to, but may have to be a little late. If Uconn made an offer a few days or a week ago and the player was interested, I don't think that means they hop on the next flight out and everything is fine. There are probably many life changings things that need to be done in short order, some of which could have bureaucratic delays that may be unavoidable.I’m sure that’s true. But why would someone wait to start the fall semester?
Definitely agree with this! I feel we have someone and are just waiting for the logistics to work itself out.Embassies and admissions don't work on Boneyard time. If there is someone coming, it might not be that they want to wait, but rather they are waiting for other pieces to fall into place.
Now that was fun!Kinda feels like popping a balloon at the ‘ole Walgreens/Kreskes lunch counter for the .01 cent banana split.
Possible?
Yup.
Happen?
Nope.

I think that is a pretty realistic assessment. No savior, and her prospects for playing time beyond this year would be bleak. In a way she might be like a one year rental or insurance policy. That is very hard to recruit for. Imagine trying to recruit a player for that role on very short notice, being honest with her that she might not have a very big role this year, and may want to transfer after this year, and by the way you only have a few days to decide. Having said that I think Geno could recruit an insurance policy and be honest with the expected role this year and in the future.OK, I’ll keep hope alive. But let’s all be realistic about Ines Bettencourt, should she end up at UConn. From the limited amount of film I watched, it’s clear that Ines is a nice player who would have a lot of work to do to to become a regular rotation player at UConn. She would immediately provide needed depth at guard for practice & mop-up minutes. But it would be unrealistic to expect Ines to earn PT minutes as a freshman, except in an emergency situation.
After her freshman year, UConn stands to lose Lou at guard, but would be adding Paige, KK and Ashlynn to a guard corps of Azzi, Nika & Caroline. So I really don’t see a lot of PT for Ines going forward. With that in mind, I have to ask how hard Geno and his staff would recruit a European player who is likely to be viewed primarily as an insurance policy?
