Non-UConn Recruiting Information

[CocoHusky]

Don't know if UConn is still in on 2019 Celeste Taylor but she made a visit to the Texas campus.

Yea, @Go/huskies just mentioned this in another thread. I like Taylor but I think UCONN has some options in that area. I don't like that Aston is trolling in NY area though.

2020 Marshall looks like an elite player, I think she has been on a visit to Texas, looks like Aston is recruiting New York players now, with 2019 New York guard Taylor visiting Texas recently.

 

[eebmg]

Huhm. Looks alot like Brooke McCarty.

Just keeping an eye on the future...

I might be confusing her with someone else, but I believe her father is a Texas grad. We don't get many unofficial visitors from up East.

I would say she's UConn's if they want her.............you'll be seeing more and more top 50 recruits from our area in the next five years...........thankfully UConn is finally going to have a bit of a geographic edge with some great players

Green did commit to Tennessee.

Gee somebody is going to inherit a very talented team if Holly doesn't win with this group.................

 

[nwhoopfan]

Well that was quick. I just don't get the Tennessee mystique. How are all of these high school kids not seeing Warlick's shortcomings as a coach?

Yes, Becky Hammon will have a lot of talent.

Yes these past couple of years have been good in recruiting. The Tennessee roster next year will be one of the best in the country.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

Hmmmm.

I can’t help but think is this was a reverse decision the Tennessee fan base would be in an uproar.

If she committed to Tennessee and then de committed and goes on an official to Kansas and commits all you would hear is “tampering” and “the right way” and “cheating”

Otherwise. Congrats to the Tennessee fans. She is a great player. She had a fantastic summer.

 

[Bernie]

I for one didn't think those trio of commits were going to stick, the whole thing was a fairytale wish. You can't plan your future on friendships. It was either coming with a decommit or in the future with transfers.

So far an inept coach has cancelled out all the talent UT has had. Next year will be no different my friend.

Charlie:
This is a very straight-forward question: has Celeste Taylor taken any unofficial trips to UConn? I can't remember from your (or anyone else's) posts. If so, thanks for reminding. If not, I'm curious as to why you think she is UConn's "...if they want her." I remember Coach D seeing her play in NJ last winter.


I do agree that the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic has started producing some top-level D1 recruits who seem to be heading to a number of programs. And they'll be continuing in upcoming years.

As for the Irish, Niele Ivey seems to have a mileage-plus program to NYC/Long Island these days, with one frosh from NYC (Danielle Patterson) and two others on the way in 2018 (Jordan Nixon and Danielle Cosgrove). And the Irish basically had Mikayla Vaughn committed when she was still living and playing at home in Philadelphia. Plus, we still are represented from the Jersey Shore, Dara or not.

I think the team will be better this year. The team chemistry is better.

It must have been all those creepy love tweets from Maria Cornelius and the like.

You can all be best friends and still shoot like crap. As far as chemistry goes they all said the same crap last year preseason that they are saying this year. Holly included. So no one really knows if the chemistry is really any better at all. If it wasn't she isn't going to say so anyway. Being best buddies still isn't going to make Meme or Dunbar shoot better. Their guards (all of them-- freshman included) have to be efficient. All that chemistry talk is just a distraction to not about the real stuff. If they did in fact work on the real stuff... they will be better. If they didn't they will lose to people they shouldn't, possibly surprise a few top teams, and likely end the year with 10+ losses again.

I feel real good about this team. I think these freshman add a lot. The only way I see a ten loss season is if injuries happen.

Good question..............I don't think so but I could be wrong about that..............you know what they say about a little knowledge.............word on the street is CT has been a UConn follower and was incredibly excited to see CD at that game..........there are a few other players in both her class and the following class who have similar skill sets and shoot the ball with a bit more consistency but she is a tremendous two way player..............she may very well end up somewhere else, but if UConn were to offer soon, I'd be surprised if she wouldn't go for it.........

 

[Rixxx]

The chemistry may be better,but I think it is a smokescreen, for Holly is working on offense and not telling anybody....LOL

With her dad being a Texas alum you know her parents have had her whole life to sway her to Texas though...

Regardless of the offense (which obviously needs work). The kids still have to develop. 4 of their guards didn't develop enough to help them. They have 2 of them back. Hopefully they show some improvement.
