October Recruiting Thread

S
Are we even recruiting her? (Juju Watkins)
She has kept everything hush hush. Nobody really has much of a clue what schools are recruiting her despite her status as a 1/2/3 prospect.

Break out the crystal ball, the tea leaves and the social media interpretations.

She’s followed by Coach Valley, which is our only real indication that staff are interested in a player (unless they post about their offer, of course).

Hope springs eternal! The more I see of her, the more interested I am! Imagine her and Ayanna on one team! Geno might have to reinforce the rims!
 
With a list like that she must be really, really good.
Granted I've only seen her play a few times, but I'd say she's really good at this point but not yet great........what coach wouldn't want a recruit that is a true effort player, that runs the floor really well, finishes against contact, is a real workhorse on the boards and has a little nasty to her......,.,.my only question about TF is that I have yet to see evidence of an outside game or even a midrange game for that matter........at a reported 6'2" she's not going to dominate the boards against good college competition the way she does now so she needs to add more weapons to her arsenal........if anybody has video of her shooting I'd really like to see it so I can revise my opinion of her game.....

This 100%. Adding more strength and an outside shooting game will be important this season.

Jenica Lewis likely will be #1. She plays a few years above her age. Skills galore.

Some have a powerful 5'11" wing from Arizona, Jerzy Robinson, as their early #1. She played EYBL for Sports Academy Swish GBL based in Southern California and will play for a strong HS team Desert Vista in Phoenix (former Cal star Kristine Anigwe's alma mater) that currently has top 60 c/o 2024 PG Shay Ijiwoye.

The post getting lots of buzz on the West Coast is 6'3" Oliviyah Edwards from Tacoma, Washington. Said to be a bit raw but physically built like a pro already.
 
I was surprised to see her ranked this high personally. Anywhere in the top 30 makes sense, but she hasn't done enough to be top 3 yet from what I've seen. Time will tell this season.

Posting up isn't something she does with consistency yet. This is something UCONN expects out of the 4/5 position. She can still get pushed around by bigger/stronger players from what I saw this summer.
I think she could be effective at the four..............she's got the fearless, aggressive attitude needed to be effective inside plus Stewie length arms so she plays bigger than 6'2"...........10-15 pounds of muscle would be nice along with some work on her midrange game........with South Carolina and Stanford in addition to newly competitive Arizona, Duke and North Carolina, she certainly is not a UConn lock..............
 
.-.
Agreed...........she certainly needs to perfect her midrange game.........I would assume that will be a major training goal going forward....... I would say she actually appears to be every bit as mobile and perhaps a potentially better finisher inside than Edwards is.......
Time will tell. At this point in HS, Edwards was much more physical, able to seal and fight through the contact while in the paint. Again, that's something I'm surprised Toby hasn't developed yet.

Fournier scored 25 as Crestwood Prep defeated Capital Courts (Cassandre Prosper) 75-62 yesterday.

While UConn made the top 8 for Fournier there is currently no indication that UConn is recruiting Cassandre Prosper.

No indication of recruiting Prosper. Color me disappointed. :(

Since she doesn’t seem to be on social media (and if she is, she’s done a damn fine job of hiding it), what have you seen on the recruiting front for Prosper? Because I’ve seen a big load of nothing — from anyone.

Same. No reports of visits, nothing.

A paid recruiting site (w/ mixed reviews) said more than a year ago that UConn was pursuing Prosper. I've not read or heard anything since then.

Demling reported Louisville's high interest during the summer but sounds of silence since.

There was a report or two that Notre Dame and Stanford were recruiting her. Appears that is no longer the case for Stanford.

Maybe she'll shock everyone and join her brother at Marquette.
