i just watched it. He said we have one of the top two or three classes next year and 2 of the top 5 recruits the year after that. It sure sounded like somebody besides Zeibell.

Rest of the Top 5 ahead of Allie is Jaloni Cambridge, Joyce Edwards, Justice Carlton and Sarah Strong.

I think he may have misspoken, I’d be shocked if he didn’t.

Why?

He did? For 2024? I guess he's talking about Shade and Arnold.

Unless he was including Brady. Maybe Brady and Shade.

Shade and Arnold are 2023s! He definitely was not taking about them! Hopefully, either Strong, Carlson, or Cambridge, though I’m a little unsure of why we would take another pg, with Arnold, and possibly Paige and Nika still on the team! Truthfully, I’m completely gobsmacked with this comment! Let’s hope it wasn’t a misstatement on Geno’s part.

That was after mentioning this year’s class! “This year”! He then refers to two top five players in next year’s class. Seems pretty clear he’s speaking of 2024.

I don't think it's clear though I might be leaning towards your interpretation.

If he is referring to 2024, there would seem to be a limited number of possibilities to who the second player is. And assuming he's using ESPN's list, it would have to be Cambridge, Strong, Carlton, or Edwards. Strong and Carlton had large lists at last check and there has been no talk of Edwards with regards to UCONN. Cambridge has an offer but was just hanging out with Staley in Columbia.

It was pretty clear to me. Next year is 2024 which would mean he's got a silent commit from either Strong or Carlton IMO. And only one of them has been on campus for an unofficial last spring as far as I know. ;) But I'm surprised that he could get either one out of their home state if in fact he does. That UConn lure is strong.

Strong was just talking about going to local campuses and "maybe" UConn's. Did not sound like someone who was a commit at this point.

Carlton had a 20-school list as of five months ago. We've heard nothing about a visit from her either.

Jaloni is still taking unofficial visits (just visited SC a few days ago), Joyce’s recruitment has been dead silent outside of a SC visit, Justice has 21 teams in her Final list and Sarah just recently mentioned NC State and UNC, with UConn and LSU as “maybe’s” in terms of visits.

I do admit, it doesn’t sound like he misspoke at all after watching the video, curious to see how the rest of the ‘24 recruiting class turns out.

I don't have a subscription so I can't post a link but in Daniel Connolly's April 26, 2022 column in the UConn WBB Weekly he mentions Strong's unofficial visit to UConn. Hamilton Neill also mentions it in his video from last February that I link to below. It's at the 2:39 point. Plus there was a photo of her at a game while there, don't know if it was in that article or separate. So if there is a future visit, it would be a second or followup.

I'd agree, best 'guesses',,,,
Cambridge and Edwards headed to SC, and Carlton going to Texas or Baylor.
I'm thinking the 2nd one he sees is Sarah Strong, with both parents being former players.
In the top 5 at least a year ago was Kendall Dudley out of DC, UCONN has a strong past with players coached by their parents, and her mom is her coach.
As Geno said recently, you want exposure, you come to UCONN, who's on TV more than any other team!

Yeah, she's been on campus before, that time with four AAU teammates.

Strong had a huge game in front of Geno, so maybe she was telling him she wants to start as a freshman! lolololololol

Geno doesn't seem ever to misspeak, but he loves to hang things out there that he knows and we all don't!
 
He might not be referring to Hoopgurlz. Blue Star has a different group of top 10. I find his preferences don't always match with Hoopgurlz and run closer to other rankings like Blue Star.
 
Prospects for instance has Koval and Tac in the top 10 which have been talked about....

But he said two top-5 recruits. That takes Blue Star, Hoopseen/ASGR, and Prospects Nation out for 2024 since none have Ziebell in their top-5. Also, ESPN is clearly the most well known and followed of the recruiting sites.
 
Maybe he is just referring to the Geno ratings, as those are widely regarded as the best. He has 2 of his top 5 lined up. Ziebell and a 6 foot 8 inch post from Freedonia, makes 70% of her shots including 60% from 3, and 95% of free throws, averages 18 rebounds per game in only 10 minutes and is completely under everyone else's radar. And 12 assists.
 
Who knows how long we’ll be speculating. I guess the good/exciting news is that there’s a second recruit alongside Allie.
