Kyla Irwin Commits to UConn

[Sonny44]

“They didn’t really give me a position,” Kyla Irwin said. “They said that the things I’m good at, I’ll do. And that the things I need to get better, I’ll improve.”

I really love this answer.

Assuming no serious injuries or departures, the roster for 2016-2017 already has 13 players, one more than the current roster (2016-2017: Boykin, Butler, Chong, Collier, Dangerfield, Edwards, Ekmark, Irwin, Lawlor, Nurse, Samuelson, Tuck, and Williams).

I'm liking the sound of that team.

I am not surprised that Geno and CD would want a kid like this. She's a gym rat who will work her tail off, do a lot of the dirty work and be all about the team. Coach's kid, too. Not every kid on a team is going to be a McD's AA.

Gardler was a coach's kid and she had some grit.

“I’m not sure that one thing really stuck out more,” she said. “It was a lot of things. Just knowing you’re going to be a part of UConn … I can’t even describe it. UConn speaks for itself. I’m just unbelievably happy." Oh to be a fly on the wall when Geno and Co. sprung the offer on her. http://highschoolsports.pennlive.co...ndout-kyla-irwin-commits-to-powerhouse-UConn/

Welcome addition to the UConn family. Poise, grit, skill ... a powerful combination of traits often sought and found by UConn's great recruiters.

She likely will bring stuff similar to Gardler and that may be just what the staff are hoping for from her. Her mom was a very tough post player.

But will Kyla be able to run down court, put a bobby pin in her mouth, tuck back her hair with said bobby pin and immediately thereafter receive a pass and cooly drain a three pointer?

Kyla Irwin (@kyirwin25) says playing at UConn has been "her dream her whole life." #UConn

Have to remember that Lawlor is a walk-on and Tuck could just say she is going to enter the WNBA draft in 2016 along with Moriah and Stewy… She could possibly be a top 5 pick that year and could consider it (don't kill me lol just saying it is a possibility.)

Assuming no serious injuries or departures, the roster for 2016-2017 already has 13 players, one more than the current roster (2016-2017: Boykin, Butler, Chong, Collier, Dangerfield, Edwards, Ekmark, Irwin, Lawlor, Nurse, Samuelson, Tuck, and Williams).

There will be hell to pay on the PSU board where Rene supporters still look for any excuse to slam Coquese. I won't report it because they'll slam me for gloating for UCONN.

I understand she is already practicing that move with either hand.

Welcome, Kyla...!

Doesn't Geno like to keep his team at 12 to 13 players? Will he consider going to 15 if there are other players from the 2016 class interested?

 

[Paul1969]

Remember, coaches cannot talk about recruits. Trust Geno. He knows whose coming, considering it or out of the running. I'm thinking she reminds me of Handsmyer. I used to love Handsmyer's grit and abitlity to mix it up.

 

[alexrgct]

I am curious about the rankings, but if Geno wanted her, that's more than enough for me. Nine national championships says his player evaluation and development are miles beyond reproach.

Welcome Kyla!

 

[TKJ737]

Welcome Kyla! I'm sure she will be another great edition.

I love it! If she can, she'll be a true Husky who can help us win games!

 

[DaddyChoc]

Committing to UCONN does have a way of improving your ranking.

You committing to UConn will improve your ranking as well

Well, I would take up lots of space in the paint.

I love it when Geno signs a stealth recruit.
