Ice, Ayanna, Kiki at First Night

[Rings R Us]

Confirmed by Alexa, and no longer just speculating on our end.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Confirmed by several sources. And Gampel is nearly full and VERY loud.

Are masks required?

Are masks required?

When not eating or drinking I believe so, but who knows if they will enforce it.

Best news I’ve heard in a long time!!!

Best news I've SEEN all night.

Has Kiki announced a commitment date?

Ice, Ayanna , and Kiki attending First Night....WOW ! This may not be Christmas , but it's certainly sounds like Thanksgiving to me. Thankful that Kiki will be attending with 2 girls Committed to Uconn. But she could make it feel like Christmas if she decides to join them with a later Commitment.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Has Kiki announced a commitment date?

Not to my knowledge, but the early signing period is Nov. 10-17. She may or may not decide/announce by then.

 

[DEpup]

Or will she pull another Hayley Jones and Boston trick....

Or will she pull another Hayley Jones and Boston trick....

trick? That seems unfair.

Sometimes recruits (Jones and possibly Rice) have good reasons for not picking UConn despite the best efforts of Geno and Chris. Boston's reasons were different for sure but they were hers and that's all that mattered.

I don’t know whether they played a trick or not, but Haley Jones coming to UCONN when Stanford was in her backyard was a long shot. Boston on the other hand… Hopefully, Kiki will join the Huskies next year along with Ice and AP.

If my calculations are correct, class of 2022 recruits can begin signing their letters of intent in 27 days.

It’s always been my contention that Boston was shanghaied at the last minute.

Kiki, Ice and Ayanna would make a magnificent trio. I'm hoping for some positive peer pressure.

If I had grown up in the VI four winters in Worcester might have been enough for a lifetime.

Just a side note. Today UConn FB plays a winnable? game at home vs Yale. I am assuming that the recruits and their hosts will be there. Considering that KiKi Rice’s parents both attended Yale, I wonder who she’ll be rooting for?

Either way, the good news is that it should be a beautiful fall day in Storrs. I hope the young ladies all have a great time.

Just like the team thinking they can be on the UConn Volleyball team, they may think they can help the football team.

 

[SVCBeercats]

If she gives into peer pressure positive or otherwise, I would consider her weak minded. Who wants a player like that?

I'm hoping for some positive peer pressure.

Let’s hope that the First Nightmare didnt turn off Kiki

Have to hope she doesn't extrapolate and thinks we cant get both baskets up and functional during games. On the other hand, we could have used this as an excuse for 3 x 3.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Does UConn ever have a glitch free event? Reminded me of every time they have a banner reveal (wall, championship, etc.) in Gampel and the black cover gets stuck almost every time. It's like UConn just wings these things and doesn't plan or care.

Winnable? Why in the world would we want to subject these recruits to watching UCONN football.
I have a better idea: Take the recruits over to the Field Hockey practice and have then watch some real winners.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the basket hiccup at 1st night, which has always been more of a pep rally than a sporting event. KiKi Rice is a smart young lady who, from all appearances, has undertaken a careful and systematic approach to her recruitment which likely emphasizes relationships with teammates & coaches, academic excellence and basketball opportunity & development.

It’s a beautiful Saturday in the fall. While UConn football is not much of a show these days, it’s all about hanging out with the WBB team & fellow recruits, interacting with UConn students and fans at the game and maybe having a hot dog & some popcorn. Whether the FB team wins or loses is probably not a very important consideration.
