Try being a finalist for Miles, Rice, Hidalgo, and Watkins and missing on all them. Sigh...

I'll be perfectly honest. I'd never heard of Miles until she suited up for ND. I do recall some on this board were convinced that Rice was headed to Duke on signing day.

It’s strange. Originally I thought Strong was just adding Duke because of her friend Roberson going there but then Duke really picked up steam for some reason. Then it turns out she never even officially visited Duke. Where does all this Duke smoke come from?

I have no idea. But I will never pay attention to it again.

Who told you she never had an official visit? Lol

They also had you convinced Jadyn, Toby and Ari were coming........lol can't get them all

Ok. I was convinced Roberson was coming cause I saw it in my own eyes. I'll be honest, I didn't really pay attention to who Donovan was until she committed. I heard about Toby, but didn't realize we were really in the mix until she committed in the Spring.

From Spain to Storrs: Top recruit Sarah Strong's personal path to UConn

THROUGHOUT HIGH SCHOOL Strong's vision board had "Go to UConn" stamped on it as a future goal but when it came time to check out schools she kept her options open with official visits to Oregon, LSU, Louisville, North Carolina, UCLA and a few unofficial visits to Duke. She did not envision going on several official visits when she first started, but this was a new world in recruitment.

Hmmm that is different than the info I have on several fronts......

So she didn't have an unofficial to South Carolina? Wasn't she there at a game and they chanted her name?

I also I thought she had an unofficial to Tenn in early March.

Anyway doesn't really matter, but certainly is interesting.

Strong “following” players. People use social media as a recruiting tool

She visited South Carolina when UConn was in town . Same thing on her visit to UNC Nobody ever said whether those visits were official or not but, in light of her recent statements, at least SCar appears to have been unofficial.

Connecting the possible dots on a Tuesday evening? :cool:
That said, would Geno have to keep space open for a portal passenger to disembark in Storrs?

I sure hope it's a harbinger of things to come but then again perhaps she simply has a thing for Disney World.......:rolleyes:

UCF is in her backyard and easier for
Family to get to her games even if international. Sytia Messer is a great recruiter and was lead recruiter at Baylor for mulkey. Have always heard positive things about her in the AAU circuit.

Not saying that’s going to translate to winning games but Messer will do things right and is a very likable coach.

Dee Alexander (6'1" Guard out of Cincinnati, two time Ohio Player of the Year and top 10 recruit in the class of 2025) has narrowed her previous list of 15 down to three. Cincinnati, Illinois, and Ohio State.

Bit of a wow, she’s a nation level recruit limiting herself to pretty much a local ( or regional) section.

I'm sure I'm not the only fan of a program that vigorously recruited Joyce Edwards and would be super happy to relieve you of your latest hometown hero. ;)

But Stanford was in her final group just as SCar was in JuJu's final group. They visited outside their home regions. Dee is staying within a car trip of home. Nothing wrong with it but it is a small surprise in this jet age.
