Non-UConn Recruiting Information

[SCGamecock]

Hang in there. I'm sure UCONN will be getting at least one commit for 2018.

On fire tonight lol

Egbo to Baylor! What a class...surely the best class in Baylor history.

Baylor history?

As far as out of high school rankings this probably has to be one of the better classes in WBB history...

OAN:

Wonder how Baylor and Texas hitting home runs in 2018 will effect them in 2019? .. specifically with Brunelle and Texas. I know she’s a big fan of the Longhorns.

I don't know how big a fan she is; but, Texas' glaring need is a true SF with ideal 6'2 height and the ability to shoot the three pointer.

I mean... not sure how glaring it is, you kinda just described Rellah Boothe.

UNLESS... Aston’s plan is to put her at the high post.. which is slightly opposite of what Rellah was putting out there during her recruitment.. that she was most interested in schools that would let her play on the wing more often than not.

I guess it works. She’ll be a junior by the time Sam would supposedly get there.

hopefully now all the non UConn folks will finally stop with the "UConn wins because they get all of the best players" crap!!!!

Seriously, the only way they'll stop with that is if UConn stops winning. They (the detractors) have never been ones to let facts stand in their way.

I'd put money on that class of 5 at Baylor won't last longer than 1 year, intact. That is a lot of talent, with a lot of talent ahead of them.

Sorry EastTx., just my humble opinion. That being said, that is one heck of a class. Best wishes.

This coming from a Louisville fan ?????

If anyone should know about the adverse effects of overstuffing the turkey, it's a Louisville fan.

Super classes are tough to keep together, moreso now with the increase in transfers. Baylor and Texas have done well for themselves this cycle, as has FSU. If they stay together remains to be seen, but these squads have positioned themselves to win a lot of games the next few years.

This girl is 12.....

she's already a well know commodity in Jersey Shore circles even though she lives in Staten Island.........considered by many to be one of the best if not the best east coast player in her class........

All this concern about height. Quickness, speed, outside shooting are key elements in winning. Tack on ball handling and yourve got something you can call a competitive team. Stop worrying about having alot of height if you dont have the rest. UConns defense has proven they can control height.

True but margin of error decreases without some height (especially on the defensive end). That is why depth is so important and why I am smiling.

If Kim doesn't schedule a strong OOC schedule next season every Baylor fan is going to be PO'd. I hope she adds Tennessee to the list.

Remember, they (other teams) need to "want" to play Baylor too. the OOC schedule this year is not horrible. They do play Kentucky, UCLA, and Stanford. UConn is already on their list for 2018-19 OOC.

Elite prospect Queen Egbo joins the crowd headed to Baylor Lady Bears

She's considered the best player in her class period.

 

[Charliebball]

She's considered the best player in her class period.

Well she should be quite a player if she sticks with it...........rankings at this age don't mean a whole lot as there are so many variables that can effect a player between now and graduation.........I've met her Dad a couple of times...........nice guy who's pretty serious about her training activities.............

UConn target of interest Yasmeen Chang ('19) commits to Miami.

UConn target of interest Yasmeen Chang ('19) commits to Miami.

I remember Kenny Kaleena who's Florida based, saying that Chang would most likely stay in state.....................

 

[Charliebball]

BTW ESPN has Chang rated as a three star recruit with a score of 89 and the 35th rated guard in the 2019 class...........another case where there is a big disparity among talent evaluators........

With Egbo committing to Baylor, that makes 5. Texas has 4. Texas sure does know how to keep it's talent. And what are Mulkey & Aston telling them that Gary Blair, the better of the 3, isn't telling them. Or it a desire to compete in the Big 12 rather than the SEC. Idk. What I do know is that the Baylor vs Texas rivalry is fun to watch. I'm excited to see the post play specifically in these two games of the Big 12 play Kalani Brown (best back to basket post in the country), Dekeiya Cohen (can't wait see to her get playing time), Lauren Cox (sophomore jump?) vs Rellah Boothe (trash talker), Jatarie White (now eligible), Joyner (can't play 1st half season, will be amped to play.)

"It's not a new sheriff in town yet!" -Kim Mulkey after the Baylor win last year (lol) -- I can't wait for the season to start!

Hopefully they will too and the reason being that Baylor wins a few NCs...with a lot of the best talent.

just remember as your talent gets better, the weight of expectations can be a heavy burden........

Not really, we expect nothing better than the E8.

Anything beyond that is luck.... just remember.
