Non-UConn recruiting thread

[nwhoopfan]

@nwhoopfan Not sure if you've seen this yet. Something to get excited about?

I hadn't seen it yet, thanks! On a UW board someone had listed a number of players the Huskies had made a cut list for, and she was one of them.

That's incorrect. The issue is how international students are compensated per their F1 visa status.

It's a matter of passive income vs active income while in the US. Things like jersey sales are considered passive income and are allowed. Promoting a business via social media or an ad, while in the US is considered active income and isn't allowed.

If the athlete is doing something NIL related in their home country, that is also allowed. This is how Adidas Canada was able to put together a deal for Aaliyah Edwards in her senior season.

And from what I'm hearing through friends with kids in the US at D1 programs, schools are finding ways to help international athletes find more NIL opportunities without violating their F1 visa status.

Thanks for the explainer!

Happy to clarify. It's not a cut and dry issue.

1.Never heard of the kid.
2.Meh
3. Not sure why any kid would want to go to such a godforsaken place
4. Hope she likes losing to Duke for 4 years

Yep... That should cover it. I'll cut an paste for the future announcements.

Could be wrong but I don’t see this strategy going well for mulkey…

I feel like her recruiting has fallen off significantly

Which strategy? Hosting multiple Top 10 recruits simultaneously? Or, getting the first official visit early in the process?

I've stated before that Mulkey is nails when she gets the last official visit from a high school recruit. Think that was the case with Flaujae, and many more while at Baylor.

Transfer recruiting is different; getting the first official visit seems to make a huge difference, especially from grad-transfers.

Someone said Chavez is only visiting 4 of the 6 schools on her finalist list over the next two months. Texas being one of them

It fell off last year because she only recruited the 1, 2, and 3 prospects. She is casting a much wider net this year

That was definitely the case with Flaujae - and I'm not even certain she had recruited her very heavily - she saw the opportunity to steal her away from Miami and that's what she did.

And seems like Texas didn't get the last visit for her...interesting.

Anytime I see a GIF from this character I have to smile. Great show and great comedic family.

I didn't follow her recruitment too closely until it was reported she would be visiting Texas; she also visited Georgia. Don't recall Miami being involved.

I don't think 1 underwhelming recruiting year immediately following a big class in 2023 is an indicator of any type of decline for LSU. Especially with their healthy use of the transfer portal. The only thing I question is why host 3 top 10 guards at the same time knowing that they will likely be competing with each other and Mikaylah for significant playing time?

Is Grace Knox capable of being a forward at the 4? She is 6’2

Outside of that idk. Divine seems like a gifted guard who can be a PG/SG

I believe LSU wants her to replace Morrow at the 4.

I've seen some recent articles that refer to Grace Knox as a "guard" or a "wing". She's definitely not a guard, IMO. Maybe she can play on the wing; but, she seems to be an outstanding rebounder, so I'm thinking she'll be more suited to play PF in college.
