Looks like Fisher was also on campus today

5’9” guard ranked #22 by ESPN

I haven't heard, read, or seen any info regarding UConn involved with Joycte. Did I miss something?

It isn't much but she follows UConn and no one else. Which? who? I don't know. To some extent the Europeans seem to regard Geno with the same reverence reserved for Pat Summitt here in the US.

I'm not surprised that there's interest but I am surprised that there's an offer this early for a kid who hasn't played her sophomore year yet. I know Brady was offered as a sophomore and it's a different position but IMO this isn't a Brady level talent at the same age yet. I will say that it's a wise move for her to leave that MD. HS and get down to IMG in FL. for some better competition to grow her game.

Heckuva aggressive foul at the 10 second mark. She's a bit like KK, super confident, knows how to finish, and is not afraid to challenge the bigs.

 

[Alydar]

Has a Kelly Faris feel to it.

Her hesitation move reminds me of Bueckers.

Geno better watch it, when he yells at KK they will be face to face.

Agree. Wonder if there’s more to this story.

From a purely financial angle, Jocyte, being a US citizen, could make a pile of NIL money in a high profile wcbb program, maybe more than she would turning pro in a Euro league. Maybe a lot more.

I knew that Juste Jocyte was American born... but I forgot! This puts a whole
new light on her considering UCONN. I had completely placed her " off the radar".
Interesting!

Auriemma offered the young lady from Kentucky, class of 25, I believe her name is Johnson #2 ranked 4 months ago, also a guard and maybe the jewel of that recruiting class.

I don't know but it seems legitimate. I guess we'll see how it develops over the next couple years.

A 6-1 kid who can play 6-4 inside and shoot it outside? Probably going to be in high demand.

Are you referring to Kelis?

And watch some of these passes and blocks. She's got some serious all-around game and no fear of contact.

Knox is #11 per HG in 2025.

Absolutely love the motor, the activity, the length and the skill set of this Grace Knox on both ends of the floor. She also has just enough edge and nasty in her game which makes her a very endearing player at least to me. Would love to see Grace in a UCONN uniform.

Yes, it's hard to find in a lot of wbb players and can't be coached or taught. They either have it or they don't. Another thing she has that's hard to define but you know it when you see it is that she can play fast. Well coached plus very instinctive makes a really good combo.

I took a good look at the Hoopgurlz rankings for 23-26, 210 in all, and only 2 were from Connecticut. No wonder Geno has to go out of state, and out of the country to find talent. That is depressing, so no reason for me to travel around to check out prospects in this state. Hopefully Maria Conlons AAU team can come up with a couple in the coming years. Interesting though, the two girls are ranked 58 and 65 in the 23 class, and they both are attending Virginia Tech in the fall. And no, they did not attend the same High School/Prep school.

So much for Kelis being 5'9"!!!!!

She’s so tiny, that I think the sneakers give her a 4 inch boost

Yeah, I’m thinking that was a little (a lot) over the top!

Story on Prosper. Doesn’t have a list of colleges but does say she wants to go somewhere that won’t just play her in the post because she is tall.
