I have lost track of 2019 recruits

[CTrefugee]

Do we have any commits ?

 

[CocoHusky]

No. Look here.
UConn recruiting page

 

[Carnac]

No. The EARLY National Letter of Intent (NLI) signing period for WCBB is November 14-21, 2018. I would imagine that 2019 recruits will begin to announce their VERBAL commitments around the end of September, then sign their NLI during the early signing period.

UConn is expected to receive several commitments from this class. Some are scheduled to make their "official" campus visit later this year. I don't expect any verbals before then. I expect any serious potential UConn recruit to attend UConn's "First night" around the 12th - 13th of October. Charliebball can provide more potential UConn recruit information than I can. Following recruit verbals and commitments is not my forte. Hope this helps.

Think you can take Brunelle, Correa, and Osborne off that.

Thanks, corrected. The last thing I want to do is post erroneous information. You can tell I don't keep close tabs on recruits that commit else where. I clipped and pasted this from Nan's list. She needs to update her list too.

Sluconn and Coco will most likely have more information regarding which recruits will make it to First Night..............UConn surely needs at least one '19 big and a guard/wing to commit this year...........

 

[MilfordHusky]

Boston will be in the 3 x 3 tourney, so she'll miss First Night (along with some 2020 recruits). I expect Haley Jones et al. to be there.

 

[Charliebball]

Ms. Amihere just retweeted this article...............certainly proves that UConn and Canadian players are a perfect match

Horston gave this list to the Columbus newspaper in mid-June: “Ohio State, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCLA, Louisville, and UConn.”

Zia Cooke also named UConn in a top five list for the Toledo newspaper.

Unless this is a recent development Cooke dropped UCONN in Mid April. Horston will visit UCONN in September.
April 12 Post.

Zia Cooke has dropped UCONN form her list of schools stating: UCONN was not an option for her because they were "full".

Hope they are not recruiting Zia Cooke! Amazing unlimited talent but also out of control way too often! I don't believe in cases like hers that it can be reined in nor do I think she wants her game changed.

Don't believe UCONN is still recruiting Cooke but I could understand why they would because her talent is undeniable. If UCONN is not recruiting her it is only because they believe they have better options which is arguably. Arguable because those other options might include (Clark & Van Lith). In 2017 Cooke outplayed Clark (Started, shot better, more steals, more rebounds). In 2018 she outplayed Van Lith (shot better, more steals, more rebounds). The strength of Cooke's game is getting to the basket and drawing fouls. Cooke lead the team in FTA in both 2017 (by a wide margin) and also in 2018. The down side of Cooke's game is what you point to "out of control"-in both 2017 & 2018 she had an assist ratio below 1=not very good. The part about being reigned is also arguable. Cooke started both 2017-18 way too amped an out of control. In 2018 during the exhibition and first two game Cooke either shot the ball every time she touch it or turned it over-I'm not exaggerating! To Carla's credit Cooke played much better as the tournament went along. What was most noticeable to me is that when Cooke came in to the games 2-6 she made a immediate defensive impact.
Cooke is going to come into college a top 5-10 talent in the class with enough skills to make an impact in college. Her school choice is critical, if she is determined to remained "unchanged" then she will graduate the same as she came.

 

[Charliebball]

I agree that Cooke is an unlikely UConn recruit but you have to admit a back court duo of Horston and Cooke would be remarkably dynamic and probably as athletic as any in the country............of course Geno would need several Costco sized boxes of throat lozenges and Advil to get through their freshmen season.............

Horston would be dynamic regardless of who she is paired with and highly dependent on who is doing the coaching. I also think Horston days in the backcourt @ the 1 or 2 are numbered until she gets to the WNBA. In college Horston will be a nightmare 3/4 offensively and DPOY caliber player > Gabby Williams.

Horston at the featured position in UConn's offense previously occupied by Maya/Stewie/Gabby. She has all the requisite skills and mindset.

 

[Vowelguy]

A bit nerve wracking to be this late in the year with no verbals when a strong class will be needed.

The current 2019-20 roster:

Dangerfield (Sr), C Williams (So), Walker (Jr), Ono (So)
Camara (Sr), Gordon (Jr)
Coombs (Jr), Bent (Sr), Irwin (Sr)​

Doesnt seem like a murderers' row. Could use some frosh impact players for next year and the year after.

My thoughts exactly. Although if she comes to UConn I think there will be occasions where she plays the 2.

My bad! Cooke’s list is an old one. I read the “June 25,” but did not notice the “2017” part:
Hoop dreams coming true for Cooke

Agreed, been saying that for a while now. UCONN (at minimum) needs a starter (in the post) + 2 regular rotation players for 2019 and another starter (PG) in 2020 + and additional rotation player to remain in championship contention.

Just looking at that first line, plenty of top end talent. If either of Gordon or Coombs develops between now and then, you could have another. I hope UConn fans have some realization of how spoiled they are. 2 consecutive #1 players from their class according to at least some of the scouting services and Dangerfield was probably the top PG from her class, and fretting about not having enough talent to compete? A vast majority of the rest of the teams and fan bases across the country wish they had problems like that.

I didn't say they were bad. But this is UConn. The expectation is challenging for a NC every year. I don't see that team winning an NC without some additional help.

I agree with most of what you're saying.
I watched her on the national team and she made a few moves that were phenomenal. Yes she was selfish and out of control the first few games and did play better and more team ball as games continued. Sure she knew if she didn't she sit more.
Does she want to have a coach who will insist upon it consistently or go play on many very good teams and do her thing. Unless I misread or misheard it, in the interview she did together with Horston I thought she said something about being able to be creative or something to that effect. Often that's analogous to letting it fly.
She maybe one of the most athletic and talented players, but doubt U Conn is the right fit for her or for U Conn.
I'm not sure if it was you or someone else previously mentioned she was on last years team, which gave her a heads up on Hailey Van Lith, who was on team for first time.
I personally prefer a point guard in control of herself and the team.

I can definitely see needing more depth in the post. Walker's Fr. year wasn't quite what was expected but there's plenty of time for her to become a special player. It sounds like C. Williams could be a transcendent player. Danger was tearing people apart early last season before injuries slowed her down somewhat. Of course this is somewhat speculative but that trio could be unstoppable in '19-'20.

Look NW, most of us (UConn fans) realize we're spoiled, but like most "spoiled" folks, we don't wish to readily admit it. It's like walking up to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and telling him "he's tall". He knows he's tall. We know we're spoiled, so what? We know we're lucky and blessed to be alive at this particular time, and be fans and boosters of one of the most dominant WCBB programs in history.

Watching some of the best WCBB in the country. Watching them set records that will NEVER be broken, we know that. We're like most wealthy people. The more money they have, the more they want (or think they need). We want more!!! We want the same thing the other programs want.........the best players available, and we want to win more championships.

We don't waste time looking backwards or resting on our laurels. We only look forward, like that roaring lion that walks about seeking whom he may devour.
We like the thought of winning more championships. Living on your laurels is no fun. Every year presents a new challenge for us, and we're up for it. We want to see how many more times Geno can catch lightning in a bottle before he retires.

UCLA only won 1 national championship after the legendary "Wizard of Westwood " John Wooden retired in 1975. UConn may very well suffer that same fate after Geno leaves. But until he does, it's pedal to the metal, the clock is ticking. Let's win 4-5 more NC's before he leaves, starting with the next one in April 2019.
