South Carolina is poised to overtake them if they can sign two of the remaining undeclared players.

Hoo boy, you must be a masochist TWF, because the responses will be a-comin.

 

[Vowelguy]

Not a single Big 12 team!

Uconn is not on the list. Let's hope we are before the recruiting season comes to an end.

By next Wednesday UConn could be at the TOP of the list.

Man, MD must be running out of room in the trophy case for the #1 recruiting class trophy by now.

it's that hard exterior

Recruiting class rankings are fine however at UConn we only need to get who we want to fill the open positions that will becoming available. With that said Boston and Jones commitments/verbals will do that for us. With Dangerfield becoming a senior next year and CW a soph that makes room for Jones and with Paige and Azzi in the wings well you can see how they will fit in. IMO if they all commit they are looking at a few National Championships while at UConn. The UConn fans will have to wait and see so be patient.

 

[WestsideWaltz]

USC will also get a bump up with Endyia Rogers committing today. Trakh put together a very strong and varied class.

 

[SCspur]

Seems like they emphasize quantity over quality...

As I’ve said before, UConn recruiting is not for the faint of heart. Last year Geno commented, “we identify the players we want early on and we go after them. We don’t have a plan B.”

This is a funny group. Maryland has two top 20 players and one top 30 player and a top 50 player in the bale ... hmmm no, creep! ... hmmmm no, in the group of verbally commitmented terrapins. (Odd no group name for terrapins) and UCONN has one top 40 player. Yet, you get grief. Same group of suspicious pessimists who won't embarace Boston as a done deal. Yet, they are sure in the end UCONN will have the best recruiting class.

We definitely have a plan B. Boston, Bueckers

Explain how Univ. of Maryland emphasizes quantity over quality particularly as it relates to Univ. So. Carolina's recruiting class.

Definitely a bit premature..........................whoever signs Boston and or Jones will certainly see a major bump............................regardless I really like the Terp recruits...................Owusu is a matchup nightmare, so strong, surprisingly agile and extremely underrated as far as i'm concerned, very familiar with Diamond Miller as my daughter covered her for almost a half in the NJ TOC's last year..................extremely athletic with a very competitive disposition............and NJ shore girl Faith Masonius has been one of my favorites for quite sometime....................just a complete basketball player with great court sense.....

Wrong USC on Endyia Rogers. Olivia Thompson is a walk-on, I think.

 

[JordyG]

It's still early. Remember Brenda, the night is young and full of terrors. And Slocum's.

Yeah, Owusu is surprisingly agile. She doesn't look like a player when standing around, but she's quite good.

when she protects the basketball it's practically impossible to take the ball from her off the dribble..............she just out muscles any guard covering her..........not sure about her stamina at the collegiate level..........

I was referring more to Michigan state than to Maryland. I think the top 5 will change after the early signing period.

It is always a challenge to rate recruiting classes. When evaluating a class, the reviewers ignore positional need, but of course the coaches cannot. But I don't expect the reviewers to include that level of detail in their analysis, nor should they. But I still believe that they value quantity over quality. Here are the recruiting classes based on Hoopgurlz rating, since that is the rating from their website:

1. Maryland: 5, 18, 30, 49
2. Ohio State: 6, 24, 39, 41
3. Stanford: 15, 23, 50
4. Michigan State: 57, 70, 75, 84, 93, (edited to fix my error)
5. South Carolina: 7, 13, a 3-star
6. USC: 36, 40, 63, a 3-star (added Rogers #35, but she was not included in this analysis)
7. NC State: 17, 32, two 3-stars
8. Tennessee: 2, 46, a 3-star
9. UCLA: 14, 22 two 3-stars
10. Notre Dame: 4, 21
11. Missouri: 8, 29, a 3-star
12. Duke: 58, 65, 81
13. Georgia: 28, 38, a 3-star
14. Louisville: 12, 99, a 3-star
15. Florida State: 27, 37, a 3-star
16. Oregon State: 19, 42
17. Penn State: 59, 61, two 3-stars
18. Indiana: 52, 53, two 3-stars
19. Miss. State: 88, 98, two 3-stars
20. LSU: 26, 71

A couple of questions:

Are NC State's pair of 3-star recruits really that much better than UCLA's two 3-star recruits?

If Notre Dame recruited a student athlete that was rated 60th, would they vault ahead of Stanford into 3rd place?

Is Florida State's class really worse than Duke's?

 

[HuskyNan]

Is Florida State's class really worse than Duke's?

Maybe Duke’s class fulfills it’s needs better? IMO, that should be the #1 criterion for deciding who has the best class, not some arbitrary ranking

 

[Charliebball]

and the biggest question of all on this site....................will UConn be on the list at by the end of November?....................awfully disturbing if not................
