Starting one up for July. Below is the link for June in case anyone wants to reference back last month....

So....what happened in June? Can someone recap the significant results achieved?

 

[Huskee11]

Some of us renewed season tickets.

Many of us wished Saylor well with her hip surgery.

Most of us noted with interest South Carolina's recruiting successes.

All of us fretted over you know who and continued to hope that her BFF can close the deal.

And of course, we engaged in endless starting five speculation because of course we did.

Assuming they’re playing AAU with the same teams as they did last year and will be participating in AAU this summer (which I have no idea if they are), GTS Fusion (Fudd) and Philly Belles (DeBerry) have an AAU tournament in Indianapolis July 5-8.

And we all agreed we need a big!

Seems things are a go at the moment.

Have you noticed all the 10 year old girls waiting after games for her autograph?

She's a pied piper!

This woman is going to put fannies in seats everywhere she goes.

So what has happened so far in July (July 1)?

1. Maya's work with Jonathan Irons paid off, as he was finally released from prison.

2. Jamelle Elliot signed on as permanent Assistant Coach.

3. UConn officially rejoined the (new) Big East.

These are 3 major pieces of great news! What do we do tomorrow and for the rest of the month?

I guess players from the U.S. return to campus in a few weeks. Paige will have to pack up and leave Virginia.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Paige has 516K Instagram followers. For comparison:

Sue Bird has 412K

Stewie has 208K

Nneka has 111K

Sabrina has 519K

Nneka has 111K

Sabrina has 519K

The only players at any level I could find with more than Paige were:

Skylar Diggins: 1M
Hailey Van Lith: 619K
Candace Parker: 617K
Sabrina Ionescu: 519K

Wouldn’t surprise me to see Paige pass them up (maybe not Diggins) by the end of her UConn career.

Wanted to start this thread to get back in monthly routine of having a thread to discuss UCONN WBB recruiting.
2021- All the alternatives to Azzi Fudd have dried up with the last possibility Kayla McPherson excluding UCONN in her down select.
Kiki Iriafen has included UCONN in her top 5 and Jillian Hollinngshead has still not committed.
I would obviously love to have both Azzi and Kiki at UCONN, would like to have at least one and would hate to lose out on both.

If we measure the angles spanned by the different colleges, UConn is at 90 degrees (as well as being at the top and closest to her brain), all other schools 45 degrees.

Well, UConn must be at lease twice as good as SCar because I don't even know what angles you are talking about

Really? UConn sector is a right angle. Making me work.

Also worth noting that the UConn sector is on top.

Sorry i'm not really on social platforms. Does anyone know why Skylar Diggins has so many followers?

Yes because people requested and she accepted.

Stop it! Just stop it. Don’t tease me.

Because she’s Skylar Diggins-Smith.

should this be captioned "welcome to MY HOUSE"

 

[HuskylnSC]

Yup. done that.

And if she's going to hit that jump shot, it's got to go through UConn!
