NLI signings

[Go/huskies]

I think when she said that she’s there in spirit, it just meant she couldn’t be there. Her mom lives in Montana.

thanks for clearing that up.

Did I miss UConn Women Hoops Twitter page acknowledging their 2020 Class signing their NLI? I see several other schools did it. Just asking

Conveniently, given her school colors, Paige already bleeds blue.

No need for a transfusion

I believe the transfusion will go the other way

Paige ----- > Program.

It’s usually done after everyone signs and UConn has gotten the paperwork. If UConn jumps the gun, it’s an NCAA violation

I believe that Paige, Nika, and Mir signed yesterday. I haven't heard anything about Piath or Aaliyah. Geno could talk about the 3 who signed, but he wants to talk when all 5 have signed. As Nan notes, UConn will put out some info, but Geno's thoughts are more interesting.

One of our UConn press people reported (I forget the details) "no worries, Aaliyah will sign after getting back from the FIBA Pre Pre Tournamnet since she made the Canadian National Team"

I wonder if the DeBerry Commitment might have scared Piath off?

Whoa there. Since when did 'no news of her signing' equate to 'withdrew her commitment'?
Also, last day of the early signing period is the 20th.

I know my statement has no facts and is just speculation .

Just a thought which I hoped might spur the BY to investigate.

So would the investigators be from the F BY I then? Super sleuths for certain.

No no no, no investigating. Leave recruiting-related stuff to the people who know the Compliance rules.

I only meant if there was something publicly accessible that gives a little clue. Not real investigating

Does anyone know if Edwards or Gabriel have signed their letters yet?

Does anyone know if Edwards or Gabriel have signed their letters yet?

Edwards is currently occupied with the Canadian National Team, so I'd imagine she'll sign when she gets back to school. Keep in mind her parents will have to sign it, too.

No word yet on Gabriel, and since her school has a pretty limited social media presence, I'm not sure we'll know until after the fact.

I wonder if the DeBerry Commitment might have scared Piath off?

I wouldn't think so. Based on the limited video, Piath seems to be a traditional, back-to-the-basket post/center. DeBerry is more of the in-and-out four Geno loves.

UConn women officially announce latest recruiting class

Storrs — UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma officially announced the signings of five members of the Class or 2024: Paige Bueckers,

Nice Geno blurbs describing the incoming class but I found the blurb on Paige quite understated compared to some of the other blurbs. I think Geno is already laying the groundwork to make her fight for important freshman minutes.

Paige Bueckers, 5-foot-11 guard, Eden Prairie, Minn. — "The thing that is impressive to me about Paige is how unselfish she is and her ability to get everyone involved in the game and her knack of getting to the basket. She's going to add, to us, a bigger guard that can impact the game, whether she's shooting it or passing it. It's important for us to get kids that are talented and unselfish and can score, and Paige has been able to do all those things.

I haven’t seen any video, but Dan Olson who has obviously seen her play multiple times doesn’t think she is a back to the basket center:

“rebounds and handles in uptempo game; stretches the defense on the perimeter with emerging face up skills; interior game delivery; among the most versatile front court prospects in the class of 2020.”

“emerging offensive threat on the perimeter complemented by back-to-basket game potential”

 

[BroadwayVa]

Is this really thumbthing or what?

A little lisp, I note? My kind of humor.

 

[BroadwayVa]

I'm embarrassed to like this as much as I do.

Greed is it's own reward.

Here’s hoping we get more footage this year for PG so everyone can give their Keyboard Coaching opinion. lol.

Think we’ll get more details from Geno?

I am sure whatever her skill set was in HS, Geno will want her to be a major force in the post

Some Piath from her trip to Italy with Adidas this summer (probably already posted a while back, but a refresher for those interested):
