Nation's #1 Recruit Christyn Williams Chooses UConn!

[huskyrob1]

I'm a football board guy and have to admit that I teared up when her friends came out with the UCONN sweatshirts and an actual Husky! That being said, without reading all past posts here, did anyone else notice her parents, especially Dad, not being too enthusiastic? It's obvious they raised a smart young woman who already has set life goals for herself and made the 1st decision today to help herself achieve them. Christyn is all in, I have no doubts about that. My question is, did her parents want her to go somewhere else? Are they just sad as parents to know their baby is leaving the nest? Or are they just quiet people?

If it were me, I'm pretty sure my parents would have had the microphone more than I did

Are you sure you watched the entire video? I got the exact opposite impression on the parents. Also know that CW was a UConn lean from day one and that Geno won over the parents during the home visit. Someone actually posted pictures of the home visit yesterday. One factor for the parents was probably the academic excellence of UConn vs South Carolina, as well as the family like UConn program that Chris Daily and Geno have fostered for years.

There is more detail in Adamec's article about Crystal and her assessment of CW and it seems that another #1 had a chit chat with Christyn too. Top recruit Christyn Williams picks UConn

"We talked a lot because we were in the same position and I knew what it was like," Walker said Friday after UConn wrapped up its practice at the Werth Champions Center. "It was easy for her to relate to me. There is a lot of pressure and you have to sit back and think about your future goals and what you want in life and what school is best to help you reach them."

And this from Lexi: "When I committed she said, 'Maybe we could be future Huskies one day,' " Gordon said. "I took that with me and I knew that in the back of her mind she wanted to come here. I'm glad she went through the process, took her time, and decided this is the place for her."

Do you guys think that if she had chosen USC she would have had someone walk out with a gamecock?

No, a Trojan.

No, a Trojan.

Actually, Chrystin thinks USC's mascot is a chicken. "I don't know where we would have gotten a chicken. We just made that up." In ceremony at Arkansas high school, No. 1-ranked women's basketball recruit chooses UConn

I don’t think they would have had a problem finding a chicken in AR. The problem would be getting it to follow you out in the court.

I think there were several HS NPOY winners in 2016. I believe that Crystal, Jackie Young, Joyner Holmes, Lauren Cox, and Sabrina Ionescu each won an award. In terms of ranking prospects, Crystal was typically around #3, I think--HoopGurlz #3, Blue Star #3, Prospects Nation #4.

Erin Boley was also one of those national award winners.

I remember reading about and commenting on Christyn’s first game a couple of years ago. What 14-year-old 9th grader starts her high school career with 34 points and 16 rebounds? There aren’t many of them!

Yes, but that would have been really bad form by CW, dragging out a Tyson chicken that had already been plucked and had its head chopped off.

Who can choose a chicken over this beautiful Husky

Next year KLS will be a senior, Megan Walker a sophomore and Christyn Williams a freshman. 3 #1 picks all on the same team. Has that ever happened before? Have we had 3 at the same time?

 

[Vowelguy]

True. They might be able to catch a game at Texas. Southern Methodist and Memphis are also possibilities. A homecoming game for Pheesa near St. Louis might be doable.

Tulsa is 4 hours
Tulane, Houston, and new conference foe Wichita st are 6-7 hours.

The 2001 Team.

Shea Ralph was USA H/S POY

then you had Tamika Williams and DTaurasi.

Exclusive of her basketball ability, she seems like a wonderful young women. Based on that alone, Uconn Wins Again..

The burning question? Is Chrystin's hair UConn Bunable? Will she or won't she? Oh, the tension!

I believe CW wears a hair band to keep her hair under control, but no bun.
