2026 Recruiting: Jerzy Robinson

[Bone Dog]

And if true, so be it. If a player doesn't see themselves thriving in a program, then they should pick the one that they think will fit them best.

If a prospect doesn’t want what Geno has to offer, we shouldn’t cry over it. So much of what makes UConn great is chemistry. Unhappy players take away more than they add.

That said, I’ll believe this news about Jerzy when I hear her say it. There’s been way too much noise in the recruiting sphere over the last few years to trust anyone other than the player.

Does this somehow mean our chances with Bjorn have increased or not?

I don't think these two are linked at all. But as I said before I would take Bjorn over Robinson every single time.

Another intriguing option would be Sara Okeke. Strong at the 3, Vukosa at the 4 and Okeke at the 5.
The guard situation could be resolved through the transfer portal.

Still no updates on Bjorn. I haven’t even heard of her visiting Texas and Kansas (I think) and those were her last reported visits.

It’s been confirmed as an SC/LSU battle now.

Not really concerned about this one, she wouldn't be a linchpin at UConn. Wilson-Manyacka for 2027 would be the main target for me.

Geno has 15 players on roster. That's a lot of talent to develop. And only two scholarships available for 2026/27. He'll be fine. I always thought he wouldn't use all 15 scholarships before the Portal.

No, they wouldn't be connected. I believe Bjorn has been all about Iowa for awhile now.

Could be but the only person linking her with Iowa is Talia Goodman so far. Skim Milkey hasn't confirmed this so I still have some hope in her recruitment.

Bjorn has OVs at Texas Oct 30-Nov 2 and the last one is Kansas Nov 6-9. It to have the last one OV can often be a good advantage.

Fair enough. Players should be where they feel comfortable and can thrive.

Till I see Jerzy dribbling in another team's jersey, she's a Husky to me!

By whom?

Confirmation has varying degrees of reliability.

Major Eaton: We have top men working on it right now.

Indiana Jones: Who?

Major Eaton: Top.......men.

Of couse the most satisfying solution here is for both Allie and Morgan to take huge leaps and ball out.

Maybe I'm misreading your post but aren't there 7 scholarships openings for 2026 (Azzi, Serah, Caroline) and 2027 (KK, Ashlynn, Ice, Ayanna)?

for Season 2026/27. It was 3, with Vukosa commitment, now it are 2.

Stronga12- - --Ice has 1 injury year left for her knee freshman year and Ayanna has 2 injury years for her knee then shoulder her sophomore and junior years!

Anyway I just saw on Twitter that Jerzy isn't considering UConn anymore because the official visit didn't go well. That would also explain why she didn't post any pictures on Instagram.

It would be her loss

Literally not linked to Iowa.

She also took A'ja and Alyssa Gray to the game to impress Jerzy. Dawn is playing hard and trying of everything.

It was our Homecoming. Plus A’ja just went into the South Carolina hall of fame

I wouldn't read too much into Twitter, it's filled with low basketball IQ fans and pundits. If Jerzy was looking for the social media hype & entertainment on her visit with UConn, not gonna happen. Geno and the crew move in silence and are about business. The kids have to be the right fit. UConn does not have to go out of character to land recruits. UConn will be good either way. We still have two TOP #12 recruits from 24', big guards on the roster for three years with Ziebell and Cheli.

A very reliable source. Whether you choose to believe is totally up to you, but I haven’t been led astray in the 6+ months I’ve been following by this person yet.

Why not tell your source? I always consider the following
when considering Fact and/or Opinion: 1. "Who is saying it?".
2. "Who or What is the reference source for the above mentioned "WHO"?
and finally, "Cui Bono?" REF: Cicero = (somewhat loose translation):
"Who stands to gain/benefit?" or, if you prefer: What is the spin here???

I can't recall ever hearing how a visit didn't go well. I mean 99% of these things just involve rolling out the red carpet? Btw...Twitter is the den where all sin originates.🤣

It’s “Skim Milkey”. I hadn’t realized how ambiguous my message was since we had discussed them earlier in the thread. My apologies!
