Non-UConn Recruiting Information

UConn has shown some interest in Saylor Poffenbarger. We'll see where it goes. She's 2021, a 5-10 G/W with long arms and has a real nice game. Her size, length and game are very similar to another 2021 kid from MA, Caroline Ducharme (5-10 G), who I think attended the Cal game with her family.

Poffenbarger's mother is her high school coach and played ball at Missouri.

Ducharme was at the Maryland game with Amari DeBerry.

Have you seen Poffenbarger or Ducharme play?

Ah, the Maryland game. I knew it was that weekend.

No on Poffenbarger and once for Ducharme. What I've read suggests their games are very similar (tall guards with long arms, athletic, good shooters, really smart). I think Ducharme tore her acl over the summer so didn't play AAU ball and is likely out for her freshman season at Noble and Greenough. She was a starter as an 8th grader. Tough kid.

Brenda has offered both players.

I find it somewhat curious that USF has not been able to successfully recruit better home grown talent, considering that we have now been consistently ranked in the top 25 for a number of years. As a result, out of necessity, we end up signing mostly overseas talent. Perhaps, that has more to do with being in the AAC because, other than UConn, our conference schools do not sign many top 100 players.

The conference doesn't help much, I'm sure, but to be honest Jose should be doing better with domestic recruiting, especially now that his best-ever player is a star in the WNBA.

I feel the same way about it.

I do see USF named among the "favorites" more than in the past, but we haven't closed on any recently.

The USF MBB team, under our new coach, held a showcase for top talent during the summer and it was very well attended and received, even though we are and have been a terrible MBB team.

So, I then asked myself, considering our relative success in WBB, "Why Jose hasn't done that in the past?"

If he did, he would have probably stood a better chance of landing some of them.

Dawn and the entire staff out in Cali this week. Seems they are pushing hard for Haley's verbal.

Lots of schools watching Jones. Oregon and Stanford were represented there too.
 
If Stanford offers and she gets accepted then you can call it.

Not sure if Jones is a high academic prospect but if so, she’s a NorCal kid that just got offered to play basketball at a great academic D1 and coached by a great. Not a hard decision but then again I’m not making it. So many factors go into these things.

SC is going after a lot of wings/big guards in the 2019 class. We have significant needs at just about every position 2-5 with point guard and power forward being the least critical.

Geno often provides contradictory statements as needed to achieve his goals. :cool:

Why choose? If you are UConn, you can get both. Of course, if you have to choose, I pick the one on the right. TALLER.

Careful. She may be a slow learner but when she gets it, it's gotten for life. She (Sansa) is a prime example that past is prologue.

That would make some sense. I've only seen one game this year and it was a blowout She wasn't on the court most of the second half, so I figured that she was out to let Galvan man the post and get back up to speed (this game was in December). Scoring-wise, Mabrey has obviously taken lead with Stella Clarke, Faith and Lola Mullaney. BTW, you've got to love a team with names like Stella, Lola and Faith. ;)

Obviously, Whatever Lola Wants Lola get---S. t. e. l.l.a--Stella!--if you have FAith, can hope and Charity be far behind??
 
Rickea Jackson visited Louisville yesterday, will be at Tennessee today. I put that news here because it feels like she's no longer a UConn target.
