>>REFERENCE LINK TO APRIL 2020 RECRUITING THREAD<<

Seems like these have slowed down a bit but figured we'd get one started for the new month. Happy May Day!!

Side note - don't forget Mother's Day is Sunday May 10...

So what happened? I missed all of April. Who did we recruit that accepted? Who transferred to UConn? I want results. Results, you hear! All the rest is noise.

Caroline Ducharme (2021) committed.
No one transferred in, no one transferred out.

Paige Bueckers did a streaming audio interview with Prentice Beverly:

2020 #1 recruit UCONN signee Paige Bueckers by BallNGems Got the Hoop Scope

BallN Gems with Minnesota native 2020 #1 recruit UCONN signee Paige Bueckers

Well, we are on the short list for Carrington from Stanford to transfer to (along with Oregon and Baylor) so there is some hope on the quality transfer perspective. We are also waiting for the ultimate 2021 recruit commitment from a Virginia prospect who is not a "Dudd"...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Perfect shooting form. The best shooter since KML and maybe even better. Notice Boston and Horston in the background. They have seen Azzi enough to know the shot is going in.

He said he wanted results and not the noise. That’s all that really happened...

Friday Quarantine Hopkins - Wayzata Special #1: Last regular season game of 2019 for Paige Bueckers

Friday Quarantine Hopkins - Wayzata Special #2: Paige Bueckers scores 27 in 2019-20 Home Game

Paige Bueckers would score 27 and add 7 assists with 8 defensive rebounds.

Of the remaining kids on the board, I wonder if our resident experts have any thoughts as to kids they think we will land, think we lead for, or who is a long shot?

Only 1 more that I can see for 2021, Fudd
(Though, I wouldn't consider myself an expert).
And, quite possibly, only 1 more
(In addition to Brady) in 2022.

I don't know about expert, but the remaining players I have as '21 potentials are:

Fudd
Iriafen
Hollingshead
McPherson
Rivers
Von Oelhoffen
Key
Marshall

 

[oldhusky]

I think additional 21 prospects depends totally on Fudd. If she commits I think we are done. If she says no, only then do we look at game-plan B options (maybe Rivers). If Fudd waits a long time those options may be gone, that's the unfortunate part of Fudd taking her time. We went for Boston and Jones and both waited to announce and by the time they did most of the other options were off the table. I suspect we considered Jones an underdog but were completely surprised by Boston. If you go for the best, and they wait ,that is the chance you take.

 

[donalddoowop]

I hope UCONN does not strike out on all eight of those players.

Do not see any of these players coming.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Yes, we know.

 

[rvwsleep]

Me too.
But if the worst case scenario does come true, UConn still has 3 recruits in 2021 that are listed in the top 10 by BlueStar.

 

[JoePgh]

I hope UCONN does not strike out on all eight of those players.

Other than Azzi Fudd, is there clear and convincing evidence that UConn has a current interest in any of these players? I realize that there may have been preliminary and tentative interest at some point in their high school careers, but now that the 2020 class is "in the bag" and the 2021 class includes Caroline Ducharme and Saylor, does anyone know if the other seven players on this list remain of interest to Geno et. al.?

 

[JordyG]

Perfect shooting form. The best shooter since KML and maybe even better. Notice Boston and Horston in the background. They have seen Azzi enough to know the shot is going in.

Her shooting form is great, but her pull up is just jewel like.

Fudd
Iriafen
Hollingshead
McPherson
Rivers
Von Oelhoffen

Good list. I prefer 3 and will take any two of my picks /rivers, iriafen, fudd. Notify the NCAA where to mail the gold

 

[Mdoggie]

Do not see any of these players coming.

Explain? Please

It needs no explanation. @Carnac has been replaced!
