October Recruiting Thread

[JordyG]

There was a time not too long ago when KK and KiKi were ranked relatively closely on Hoopgurlz. It seems to me there was a “KK or KiKi?” thread on the BY. At some point along the way, UConn cooled off on Bransford, or vice versa. Subsequently, KK’s and KiKi’s rankings moved in opposite directions with KK down to 29 and KiKi up to 2.

At the time I noted that Rice was far her superior. I haven't backed off appreciation of this kids abilities nor have I shirked in my desire to see this young woman in UConn blue.

I really like UCONN’s chances here. No ND-yes!

I do too. Ciera Toomey, Judea Watkins, Breya Cunningham, c'mon down!

 

[ScottCT]

After seeing this list I really really like our chances.

Toomy is definitely going to UCONN. I had a feeling ND wouldn’t be on her list. They came at her during this summer with an offer (way late in my opinion). ND still has Ume/Cunningham on the board.

I think UConn and ND both came in really late on Toomey. So I’m glad UConn made the cut

I’ve seen someone online where “UCONN has always been her dream school…”

Ume?

 

[jbc021592]

Yes. Kennedy Ume. She was on the U16 USA team this year and a Blue Star top 30. However, she’s not on the ESPN Hoopgurlz list… Yet. 6’3 from MD (same HS as ND alum Brittany Mallory)—Philly Rise AAU.

 

[UConnCat]

I don't believe Toomey ever identified UConn as her "dream school." I recall her saying she grew up watching UConn on TV because her mom always made sure to watch their games.

Too early to be making declarations about where she is headed.

Not all of the usual suspects for a top recruit.
UConn
North Carolina
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
Penn State
Duke
Villanova
Maryland

Yes. Kennedy Ume. She was on the U16 USA team this year

She was?

 

[jbc021592]

My apologies if I got it wrong. When you say that—now I remember that was it.
She visited ND on an unofficial visit last weekend.

No worries mate!

 

[jbc021592]

Okay. My apologies again—she made the top 16 before getting cut. That’s still something. I was told wrong by someone else.

Suprised, but happy, with the list and our chances. Thought we might see a few west coast schools like Oregon or even Texas. Looks like she’s leaning towards staying closer to home with all the Northeast schools.

Vandy getting in the mix again. Hmm.

No worries you are talking about Kennedy Umeh.

 

[jbc021592]

Yes. Her. She has her last name Ume on Twitter but Umeh on IG. ‍♂️

3 hrs & 29 minutes. That’s the driving distance from Dunmore, PA to Storrs, CT. Right around 3 hrs if you’re heading to a game in Hartford. Of the 8 schools listed only Penn St & Villanova are closer. In addition, the NBE has several schools within easy driving distance of Dunmore.

While I doubt that Toomey’s decision will come down to highway miles, I’ll take any edge UConn can get.

22

Wow! That's kinda old for a high school senior.

 

[Charliebball]

I think they were asking year. I showed the ranking to say no one should get to worried or excited about a 29th ranked player until said player shows and proves the ranking is too low. On to the next!

now that she's going to ND that was a tiny dig on my part..........

 

[Stoli]

Could someone with IG knowledge look at both Kiki Rice and A Patterson Instagram stories. Would like to your interpretation. Sorry I do not know how to get images from the posts.

 

[UConnCat]

Vandy getting in the mix again. Hmm.

That’s the first step for Shea.

 

[Heytherego]

From Ayanna’s instagram

 

[Heytherego]

And another from instagram. I’m assuming Kiki was the one who asked this question

 

[Charliebball]

certainly not a scary list with the usual suspects but respectfully, don't count out Duke or NC...........I don't have to tell you that they've both improved their coaching/recruiting recently..............I'd also never count out MD either, especially for a PA recruit but then again you know I'm paranoid...........
