If she's for real and available for the future, go get her. We have never had a 6'6" post player. If she's for ,what an addition she would be for the future team . I am 89 years old an I'm hoping I will be around to see some of these players in 2025 and 2026. I feel healthy eniugh for 2023 and 2024. GO HUSKIES!!!

89 years? You’ve earned the right to throw up any and everything you desire.

I would love to have Ines and Clara Sofia Vieitas Ferreira Da Silva, dob May 31, 2006,
play together for UCONN! Clara is the real McCOY at 198 cm (6'6") and is still 16 yoa.
Check out the 2022 Fiba U16 Women's European Championship. I think she is # 17,
but you won't have a hard time finding her on the court!

Kara was 6'7" not 6'6"

Kara was 6'7" not 6'6"

That did occur to me. The point is that some forget how good Kara was.

All American and AP Player of the Year Kara Wolters who put up 31 against Stanford in the semi-finals? She was alright.

Azura Stevens is 6-6

In fairness, Azure was a forward (with a forward’s mindset) that because of her size, and the desperate need we had at the time for height at that position, was asked by Geno to play some minutes at the 5.

Remember, during her 2 years at Duke, she was not a post player nor was she asked to be. 6’3” Elizabeth Williams (Washington Mystics) was their starting post at that time.

When I posted it there I said I'm doing the right thing, but chances are she will be buried there!

She was Player of the Year for gosh sakes.

 

[Kaizen]

Does anyone have new news for this girl Clara Silva? If she can join Jana El Alfy it will be a dream dual.

You guys need to start reading the recruiting threads

A slight swerve -- though we've already swerved a bit from the OP -- but Jana al Alfy is also more of a high post personality. I'm sure her dad mentioned this to Geno, and one of the articles about her recruitment posted recently even quotes him saying she'd prefer to go to a team that lets her play facing the basket at least part of the time.

I generally have no desire to throw up.

Golly, she isn't even here yet , and you are burying her on recruitment thread #141! That is a little premature, we hope.

You probably aren't 89 either, so...
