October 2020 UConn Recruiting Thread

[Wally East]

t several Uconn alums have completed the incredible trifecta of National Champion, WNBA Champion, and Olympic Gold Medalist.
I believe Sue, Diana, Maya, Swin, and Breanna for starters.

Kara Wolters, too!

UConn makes the top-12 for Imani Lester, a talented 6-3 forward from North Carolina:

To be honest, I have personally watched very little tape on Lester and I know nothing about her makeup, but Olson describes her as having "the tools to impact at the next level and the work ethic to submit to mediocrity." In a later evaluation he states "the work ethic needs to match and exceed the skill level", these stand out as red flags to me and I would be surprised to see her commit to UConn, especially considering the Huskies have already received a verbal from Brady.

Kara Wolters, too!

Perhaps more fitting for a new thread but: Asjha Jones is one of 11 players in the world — including seven who played with the UConn women’s basketball team — to win NCAA and WNBA titles, and Olympic and FIBA world championships gold medals.

Can anyone name all 7?

Can anyone name the 11?

That’s is also one of the odder lists/tiering of schools I have seen.
1. UConn but no ND, SC, Baylor, ND, Stanford, Oregon as other top echelon recruiting programs.
2. Louisville, FSU, NC, NC State, Duke and MSU in the next tier
3. Clemson, Florida, WakeForest in this tier
4. NC A&T and East Carolina are curious at best.
So I too am a bit dubious on this recruit, but then again, what do I know, I haven’t been able to stay at a Holiday Inn Express in a while so my insight is nil

Some of these kids enjoy the attention they get from listing schools that they may have gotten interest from but not necessarily a solid offer. I doubt we’ll be seeing her at UConn.

Exodus AAU game feat. Caroline Duchrame from September. Ducharme credited with 20 points and 15 rebounds. She looked quicker than I expected. Hit a couple threes, had another rim out, added a very nice post-up move, and a couple of drives off the bounce. Also made a few really good passes.

sounds like she wants to play close to home.

So the new UConn unis with more red trim. Coincidence?

 

[Alydar]

I thought I read that these were streamed free but I keep getting "log in/subscribe" message

LOL If they wanted to lure Fudd with uniforms the Huskies would be wearing Kobe colors.

I notice Caroline has a bit of the "Katie Lou hop" on her three point shot.

2024 and UConn POI Joyce Edwards:

Wow, kid has tremendous footwork for her age, her drop step is as polished as I have seen at any level! She also does a great job at shielding the defender with her off shoulder on put-backs. She is listed at 6'1 now, if she can add a couple more inches she will be an absolute monster in the post!
