Non-UConn recruiting thread - 2025

Strong? Quiñónez? Cheli? All will get minutes at positions that Woliczko plays. Woliczko is no more proven than the latter two. Sheesh, Patterson is still on roster for crying out loud lol

Woliczko’s dad thinks she’s a 3/4 tweener, which translates to likely being a PF in college, especially at Iowa where she’s going to be one of the taller players on roster.

I think it is. At UConn we have no one proven at the power forward or center position next season (after Serah Williams leaves). The key word is proven. Some players have a chance to claim a spot this season.

I saw an announcement for Woliczko that called her a shooting guard; but no… she is not. She has never played that position. And even a 3 might be a radical change for her.

What are you talking about? You have the best PF in the country, Sarah Strong. Who is only a sophomore.
 
I think Sarah strong is the best 3 in the country. She spent the summer working on “guard” stuff. But yes. Her versatility means we can use her anywhere.
 
She is a 4. Last year she even played the 5 in big games. She might be a 3 in the W, but she's a superstar 4. I was going to say stretch 4, but that simplifies her game too much. She's basically the college version of AT, but with a shot.
 
Look, the point is we are recruiting Vukosa. So we could have recruited Woliczko imo. I think they are pretty much the same position. So, it is an area of need or Vukosa wouldn’t have an offer.

As for Strong. I think she might play some 3 this year. It depends how good our options at the 4 and 5 are.

Out of necessity, I think we still see her as a 4 this year, but there’s so much more wiggle room with Serah Williams and Ayanna Patterson.

Couldn’t agree more with the AT comparison, though.

She's versatile and will be utilized all over offensively, but she'll likely guard opposing team's 4s and 5s and will be playing the 4 at UCONN like she did this past season. I don't see many instances where there will be 2 other PF/Cs in the lineup with her.

Don't think those two play the same position at all.

Every time I think about the season, Strong is the one thing I can't really account for.

I believe she will be NPOY unless Bueckers really did make things incredibly easy for her.

Help me out here, please. I keep hearing those UCLA/ND visits were OV's, but I can't see anything official about OV's having moved up further than junior year just after the NCAA championship game. Did I miss the OV period being moved up (I know you can now go to more than five schools, but can't find anything about change in timing.)

Thanks...anyone.

If you ask some of these fans… strong carried Paige
 
Happy to see Vandy among the final four for #14 Olivia Jones from LUHI. We're not totally dead in the water yet. North Carolina, Maryland and Miami are the other three. If the Dores could snag Jones and wind up with Jhai Johnson, this could turn out to be a pretty nice summer after all. IF.

South Carolina women's basketball: Recruiting target sets commitment date

Top 20 forward Kelsi Andrews will announce her commitment on Tuesday, October 7. She recently visited South Carolina.

Kelsi Andrews will be announcing her commitment next Tuesday. Since she just visited South Carolina, I've got a good feeling about this one. Will we finally get our first commitment?! 🥲
Expand ...
Yes, I'd agree.
ND had a fleeting, late flirtation with Ms. Andrews, but I don't see that happening.

Solid get by Coach Ivey and Recruiting Coordinator Michaela Mabrey. ND has had a long interest in Abii (offered in June '23) and the mutual interest remained strong over the two-years. She and Bella Ragone can fill those wing/big guard slots for ND.

BTW, Abii is the first Irish commitment from Texas since one Brianna Turner. The Irish are still after another Texas-based prospect -- Amari Byles. Stay tuned.

Kind of laughing here because in a thread called "non-UCONN recruiting" on a page called "general women's basketball" we somehow are talking at length and exclusively about UConn, and mostly not even about their recruits.

As it should be...... 😊

Looks like Joyce Isi Etute is on an official visit to South Carolina even though they weren't listed as one of her finalists . . .
 
Confirmed Fagan currently visiting Columbia, SC.
