I thought since we had an Aneesah and Sedona thread, I’d add this. Wow!

You beat me to it. No questions here, have to go for it, forget about Aneesah and Sedona for now and find out if we have a chance here. She put up huge numbers considering her limited minutes behind Brink. Kind of at the level of Cardosa behind Boston. Since she has only played one year, she would impact more the playing time of Ice and Jana down the road, but they can play the 4 as well and Aaliyah presumably departing after this year.

Unless I am missing something you have to go hard for Betts.

With only one roster spot left, it seems like the Coaching staff are being very meticulous IF they are looking to fill it. Lauren would be that person for me (unless Cameron Brink joins also).

So, calling on Stanford fans - what did you see this past season with Betts' production, development, etc, that showed a marked difference from her HS years? That's what I'd be interested in knowing - her growth this past year.

Her finalists were ASU, Baylor, UCLA, UConn, L'ville, ND, OR, S Carolina.

WEB (I know, I know) twitter has a poll listing AZ, CO, SC, LSU, UConn, UCLA

Ok, now this one, definitely worth a look.

And this could really affect Stanford next year. Geno might do some catching up to Tara.

Stanford will still have Brink next year. This could really affect them after she graduates though
 
This is so surprsing. Stanford looks to be trending downwards, first losing all of those seniors and now a former number one overall recruit transferring just after her freshman season! Brink is the only notable player left on that team now.

Lauren’s younger sister visited ND (the only one she visited besides Stanford—that I know of…) ND needs a BIG BAD. With the options of Morrow, Prince, and Betts (possibly with younger sister-play together for 1 year), ND has some options.

I could DEFINITELY see Iowa in the mix (for all 3 of those I listed). Who wouldn’t want to play with Clark?! LOL.

UCONN as well, but you have Patterson and Edwards still (with one more year after this one possibly). We shall see…

Iowa currently has a former High School teammate on their roster. In High School Addi O'Grady played the 4 and Betts played the 5.
 
Betts is the most attractive to me as well, with a caveat.

I never used to watch any high school footage until Bueckers came along. I still do not watch much, but I watched a little of both Brady and Betts. Out of those two I thought Brady was more skilled. I understood Betts being #1 due to her height, but Brady really seemed to know what she was doing.

We have one spot left and I can see using it on Betts, but not to the detriment of developing Brady. One way or another I suspect Brady will be a major contributor for us, with or without adding Betts.

Does anyone know why her minutes with Stanford were so limited after her outstanding high school and USA Basketball performances?
 
The only way I see Betts coming to UConn is with an understanding that she's in an understudy role to Edwards/DeBerry/Brady, and that the staff will not make promises of PT nor upset the already existing chemistry that the players have both on and off the court. The ol' sacrifice a little, be part of something big.

On edit - imagine if this is what Geno was referencing?
