Non-UConn recruiting thread - 2025

I can’t relax for a minute these days. First, Triad slips in and grabs Taylor Sofalkanich right out from under my nose, then Dillon and his bunch nab Bella Ragone while I was still distracted by Triad’s treachery, and that’s after ND’s outright theft of Leah Macy after Shea courted her for two years. Granted, Ragone didn’t have a Vandy offer, but I think of her as a poor man’s Kate Harpring, and I think Harpring is the best college prospect in America. Besides, Ragone is a lefty, and who doesn’t want a lefty on their team?

As if that isn’t enough, Geno does his swoop in and take any player he wants trick and Heckel is on her way to Storrs, not Nashville.

I’m starting to think Dawn and SC are the only ones I can trust, and I’m keeping a close eye on them when it comes to McKenna Woliczko. :(

@YoDore, your whining is quite funny, and it compliments Triad’s treacherous writings. I love it! Please keep on writing so that we fans have something to help get us through the summer months!!

This classic came to mind when I read this. ;)

You gotta be careful making comparisons. I occasionally build up sufficient angst to release a minor squall into the atmosphere. Friend Triad wakes up each morning ready to redress the day’s grievances before he even knows what they are. He’s no squall. He’s a full-blown thunderstorm. :p
 
ND and Coach Ivey get their first commit of the Class of 2026. Ragone and the Irish have had a steady mutual interest in each other with Ragone taking at least two trips to ND. Great news for the Irish.

I'm not even sure how to take that.

Ha! A poster compared something I said to something you would say. My second post was simply to indicate that I'm not worthy. :D Still can't say I'm happy about Sofalkanich, though. It's not like talented 6'4 players grow on trees. Shea has been after one for four years now. Even offered her older sister when she transferred from Bucknell. She chose Michigan. I can't figure out who to be mad at about that.

I'd direct your concerns to @JellyBean in this case ;)

I’d expect to see more ‘26 and ‘27 commits. This is a major program whose roster is likely to be wide open for those recruits. They have a chance to build something great. If there was ever a time for a young person to consider ND, this is it.

Ordinarily, I'd have said USC is the shoe-in once ND fell off her list. But I don't think it's so clear anymore.

I would have bet money Vandy would be on this list after her official visit a few weeks back, showing one more time that I do not and will not ever fathom the thinking of a teen girl. Those are all great choices for her, though. Can't really go wrong.

Yeah, I just got done posting on The Bench about this.
ND dropping out of the picture here wasn't totally surprising to me. The biggest ripple ND and the Woliczko had was when it was discovered how much Woliczko's father liked ND. But it never seemed to go forward from there: not even aware of any unofficial visits.

In looking at ND's situation now, Woliczko seems to occupy a lot of the same/similar ground as a combination of 2025's Leah Macy (who probably won't walk onto the court until 2026) and newly committed Bella Ragone. Ivey has often talked about positionless basketball, but a recruit might think otherwise.

As to whom? Got me....Woliczko could fill the slot currently played by Chloe Kitts at SC. Ironically, Kitt's younger sister -- whom I've neve seen play -- is not at Ohio State. And she seems to genuinely like the Iowa coaching staff.

Stay tuned.

I had Iowa, SC, Duke, USC, and ND as finalists for her. Really surprised ND isn’t anywhere to be found.

Iowa makes me nervous here.
