A UConn commitment from Elalfay would certainly take some of the sting away from the bad injury news which has befallen the team.......the video doesn't lie..........her mobility and aggression are just what UConn needs........

I don't think anything takes away from yet another year without Paige Bueckers.
 
This is the best news I've had all day. Shows what kind of day ,or where my priorities are. Have been following her for awhile now and this has to be viewed as a positive. Early signing period runs from Nov. 9th to Nov. 16th, so until her signature is on the contract we can only speculate.

The 2023's are getting close to being resolved. Might only be a few real difference makers left among top prospects. Watkins of course and Hidalgo, Fulwiley, Prosper and of course a young lady from Egypt. In addition to our success, I am curious how South Carolina, Arizona and Stanford turn out, because they are in the hunt for some of those. and could be our major competitors over the next few years. I kinda hope those players wind up at second tier championship contenders, and we of course wind up with El Alfy.

TeamFirst, agree.I also think Watkins and Prosper are wild cards. My gut tells me it's going to be Watkins to Arizona. Auriemma would have another bounce in his step if he got positive news from them or El Alfy.

You could make a case that we drop to a #5 recruiting class unless we get Alfy.

Depends on who goes where. There are some schools that would not leap-frog over us with just one of the remaining top recruits. Then there are schools like Arizona, South Carolina and I think Stanford that are contenders for one or even two of the high ranked remaining prospects. They could move up towards the top, but regardless #5 is pretty good, and if we get El Alfy we would deserve consideration for the top spot too.

It probably wouldn't show up in the ESPN rankings as much as it should, however, because they don't have a ranking for El Alfy and generally underate all foreign players if they rank them at all. Just the way it is.

Yeah, that’s not the only reason it wouldn’t make much difference on ESPN rankings!
 
Were there any recruits at the game? I would assume probably not. But, would bet on having a couple at the Texas game.

Question(s) Re: International prospects.

Are international prospects like El Alfy and Cassandra Prosper bound by the Early Signing Periods and regular signing periods?

If they want to enroll in January, do they have to sign LOIs in the Early Signing Period? Can they just enroll in January?

As previously posted, LOIs are not required to play NCAA college sports.

Q: Are international prospects like El Alfy and Cassandra Prosper bound by the Early Signing Periods and regular signing periods?
A: Yes

Q:If they want to enroll in January, do they have to sign LOIs in the Early Signing Period?
A: No

Q: Can they just enroll in January?
A: Yes If she wants to enroll in January they must meet other NCAA requirements for eligibility such as HS graduation, GPA core classes etc... Signing her NLI is not one of those requirements.
 
OK, the next few days can be interesting, if not exciting. We are expecting to hear from Ashlyn, KK, and Quadence with their signing of their LOI. That is the expecting part, but what can we hope for to be the exciting part? Jana El Afry? I'm not sure who else is ready to commit but hearing from her will be exciting enough at this time. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to hear something. Go Huskies. If anyone hears anything, please post.

Word out of Louisville is no 2023 recruits will sign with the Cardinals in the early signing period.

This is potentially very good news regarding El Alfy. Louisville was supposedly going after her hard, and she is apparently a 2023 recruit. Translation- Louisville is not getting her.
 
Correction to previous post. That is assuming she intends to announce during the early signing period which i guess we don't really know.
 
According to a FB post from UConn Women’s Basketball, Ashlynn has signed on.
I can't copy the FB link, so...
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A 5-foot-10 guard from Noblesville, IN<br><br>Welcome to UConn, Ashlynn! <a href="https://post original url/bGa3Aa6YyE">pic.twitter.com/bGa3Aa6YyE</a></p>&mdash; UConn Women’s Basketball (@UconnWBB) <a href="">November 9, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
 
I was doing a bit of digging and going through Jana El Alfy's Instagram, she still only follows Uconn basketball page. The national team she currently playing for is an tournament right now. Im guessing once they're done she will make an decision i hope she comes our way. Only recruit she isnt following is Qadence but Qadence follows her tho.
