Being a beast at UConn would help her brand. It’s all about brands nowadays you know?

Work your magic and make her become a UConn beast.

If these players have true and good PR reps, they would have the players take a real good look at UConn and the exposure playing at UConn brings to your brand. Heck three of the biggest names in WNBA history are former huskies.

Speaking of which and not to pick at our scabs but... regarding our former friend C.... She said she grew up rooting for North Carolina which supposedly played a part in her decision to go to school there. Assuming she is 17 or 18 UNC last won a championship in 1994 when when she would have been 1 if that but probably not even born yet. UNC last appearance in the FF was 2007 when she would have been 10-12 ish. UNC has made 1 elite 8 since 2007 -so how does a kid growing up in Pennsylvania get to even follow UNC which was not making noise nationally? Just not adding up for me.

I think your math is off a little bit. If she was born in 1994 she’d be ~28 currently. Just further solidifying your point though

Probably most definitely wasnt born 27-28 years ago

Maybe C was a fan of the UNC men. Or women's soccer.

Right!!

I believe her parents have regular vacations in North Carolina....maybe even a second home....and she is quoted somewhere about all the great golf courses there...so for most of her life she may simply enjoy the area.

BTW: some rather large math errors above...though your point about her youth remains....even is understated a bit.

What's a decade or so when when you are talking about a teenager?

IMO, 1 out of 6 or 16.66%. The one being Booker and she's a long shot. A very long shot.

I think as it currently stands, Mikaylah and Madison might be high priority. I personally don’t see either going anywhere that isn’t the SEC, though.

Kids often root for the schools their parents root for. It could have been any sport. Her family may have UNC ties.

Even Geno once said that UNC's campus does a lot to sell the school. I'm happy that an over-the-hill coach at a prestige school is replaced by a coach that plays a style I like. I'd enjoy watching Tommey kick some Duke and NDame butt.

Not very good IMO because Williams, Watkins & Booker are all "lead" guard types that need to be running an offense to be effective. With Arnold committing to UCONN she is going to become lead guard in the mold of Jefferson and Dangerfield while I envision Shade playing off the ball. Cunningham remains a slight possibility but we've had enough warnings that she intends to stay on out west. I've kind been looking beyond the top 10 and still think UCONN can put together an exceptional class outside of it. Riley Stack, Chloe Kitts, Sahara Williams, & Del Rosario would be great domestic UCONN fits. International players I really like Prosper of Canada and Puoch from Australia. Love Jocyte of course just think that is a long shot. I have to admit that I'm not that impressed by some of the "23 post player I hearing UCONN becoming interested in lately such as Avery Treadwell.

I can attest for their campus, having been there on a visit. It’s beautiful.

Talk about a BIG GUARD WELL DANG I WANT HER

One of these days I going to put together a highlight package of strictly Mikaylah Williams defending.
This will basically catch up the rest of world to where I was almost two years ago now: Her defensive tool kit and sheer athleticism are probably more advanced than her offensive tool kit.
