Non-UConn recruiting thread

[Baller29]

It’s clearly Texas

That is an interesting combination of schools......

I would be shocked if she picked South Carolina. I think we're just a hat on the table.

Most Gamecock fans think we’re just a hat on the table, and I agree. I don’t even think she’s visited us or actually shown real interest.

She’s a heck of a talent, but her recruitment has gone on a little too long with a little too much excess fanfare for my liking. Don’t really see her as a fit at SC. I do think she’d do very well at Oklahoma but I suspect it will be Texas.

I wanted UConn to recruit her. But I always thought we might know that she is a lock for Michigan. And that’s what I am expecting. Would be surprised if she chose any of the others.

Top5: Kentucky, South Carolina, Michigan, Notre Dame, and UCLA.

Sure, the betting favorite is Michigan. Her older sister, Syla, has had an excellent frosh season and Kim Barnes Arrico has superb connections with the metro NYC region, which she has successfully recruited over the years.

Kenny Brooks (Kentucky) and Cori Close (UCLA) are superb recruiters. Interesting that while Swords' former LuHi teammate, Kayleigh Heckel, chose U$C, she's included their crosstown rival, UCLA. I wasn't aware the S. Carolina was interested in Swords. Is she a primary target of Coach Staley? Or is Dawn starting to realize Christina Raiti is attracting and cranking out excellent prospects?

Lastly, there's Notre Dame, which has another of Swords' LuHi teammates -- Kate Koval. Swords has taken unofficial visits to South Bend and has seen a lot of Coach Michaela Mabrey, ND's recruiting director, and HC Niele Ivey when they come to Long Island. In addition to Swords, ND is actively recruiting both Olivia Jones and Sanai Green.

I'm happy seeing another kid from Northern Ontario getting some shine. The city of Sudbury is building a name for itself outside of the big Nickel and the popularity of Shoresy

While Michigan may have the lead, gut feeling is that it's still wide open. Swords also has a relationship with Cass Prosper in addition to Koval when it comes to ND. Regardless which program she chooses, she'll be a great fit because she has a well rounded skillset, and a bit more height than her sister.

I mean, A'ja Wilson didn't sign with SC until April of her senior season in high school . . .

Besides interaction on Canadian National teams/training sessions, has the younger Swords played AAU with Cass Prosper?
I went to see LuHi play with that great team, featuring both Swords sisters, Heckel and Koval. I was struck by how Savvy was right there wilh the others, even though she was a few years younger.

Yes with the Kia Nurse Elite program although it was just one season. Also, "interaction in national teams" gives off an impression that their time together on these squads were minimal.

The CB development stream, before these players head to college have training sessions ongoing throughout the year, not just for FIBA competitions. Not to mention, the Swords sisters, like Toby Fournier, Jasmine Bascoe (Villanova) and Cass Prosper got training time with the SWNT on occasion as part of a fast track program.

Thanks for your input.
BTW, "interaction" is not necessarily a singular usage: I didn't mean it that way, which is why I asked you. Thanks again.

The city of Sudbury

There's a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song from way back, about a train ride across Canada, and there's a line about Sudbury Junction.
