Ranked 11th by All-Star Girls Report and, yes, on UConn's radar.

ND?

So UConn basically wrapped up high school players of the year in North America!

 

[eebmg]

So did Kia Nurse win this award? Was she a #1 (or close) player out of Canada?

 

[DEpup]

Looks like they just recently started awarding women so no for Kia.

 

[Carnac]

Azzi will be announcing her verbal sometime during the summer, signing her NLI in November. Is that correct?

Great stuff.

Interesting how hard Geno was pushing her recruitment. And as far as competitors, she liked Brenda alot
but UConn was her DREAM !!!!!

 

[fightinterp]

How about "ACTION"?

already taken...Lamar Jackson QB Ravens

 

[oldude]

already taken...Lamar Jackson QB Ravens

I think there is enough room in the entire sports world for two “Action” Jacksons.

To be different, Reaction Jackson.

Rori Harmon:

Who do we still think/hope is in the UCONN mix from HS class of 2021?
Azzi-Still all in duh!
Olivia Miles-IDK she is a gifted passer but would have to increase defense and efficiency to be UCONN fit.
Saniya Rivers-I hope so. Likely not though too much alpha/talent to share minutes.
Aaliyah Moore-Doubtful crickets for a while now & Baylor appears to be all in.
Payton Verhulst-Doubtful too much alpha/talent to share minutes
Kiki Iriafen- I hope so but... Academics and geography favor Stanford
Talia Oelhoffen- Likely not, crickets for a while now since October time frame.
Rayah Marshall- Very doubtful Crickets for a while now since October time frame & UCONN got Saylor!
Kayla McPherson-Likely not it has been well over a year since we heard anything.
Sonia Citron-Likely not Stanford is the school most rumored.
Caroline Ducharme-Still heavy mutual interest here. When you make an unofficial visit with Azzi Fudd and Amari DeBerry you better be serious about UCONN. I think it’s UCONN or Princeton for Caroline.
Jersey Wolfenbarger-Likely not as she is leaning towards Arkansas or staying in the South.
Rori Harmon-I’m confused/ conflicted here. Don’t see the good fit because she must play PG due her size. She will be a tough pull from Texas but UCONN interest if anything has increased since the fall.
Teonni Key-Likely not, crickets for a while now since ~ October time frame
Jillian Hollingshead-IDK depends if UCONN is still looking for a big forward to complete this class that could be either Iriafen or Hollingshead.

Have I missed anyone? Your thoughts?

I see a class of 3.
Deberry, Poffenbarger and Fudd.

I think the most activity I've heard about recently has been with Azzi, Kiki, and Caroline. I would love to add them to Amari and Saylor.

For Kiki, I can see both UCLA and Stanford in play, in addition to UConn.

Is there any chance UConn is looking at unknown foreigners?

 

[MilfordHusky]

What does crickets mean?

Silence, nothing, nada.

 

[CocoHusky]

What does crickets mean?

No visits, no workouts, no photos, no sightings related to UCONN recruiting them.

 

[AmeriConn]

What does crickets mean?

Absolute silence; no communication.

Coach Amy was very pleasant when @RoadWarrior and I chatted after Saylor's game. In addition, her team is very well coached. Saylor is the athletic stud on the team, but the other kids play really smart.

I think there is enough room in the entire sports world for two “Action” Jacksons.

Make that 3. Don't forget WR Harold Jackson in the '70s and early '80s. Dandy Don Meredith called him Action Jackson from Disco Tech.
