Maybe it is only me, but my initial interpretation of this article was different. Our 2 commitments are mentioned first, then four recruits that will be making their official visit. Have Allie and Morgan not made their official visit yet? If that is the case then I agree with the speculation that Roberson is the likely 4th with Strong.

What I am hoping for is that commitments and recruits in this article were meant to refer to different people, and that maybe 4 players we are recruiting in addition to Allie and Morgan will be there, maybe a couple more than Strong and Roberson, but that is probably wishfull thinking.

I have seen Olivia Vukosa like several Instagram posts about First Night, so I’m hopeful we could see her make an appearance as well (maybe she just wasn’t featured in the article).

Four great players from 2024 plus the Big O! I really like that!

I thought the answer was a 6'5" center from NJ, by way of Ireland. Do we not think she will play?

I don't think we know that much about what we have yet with Gandy. She has good size and athletic ability but was not highly ranked (at least yet) and was somewhat off the radar.

That may have been because she is a diamond in the rough that needs some polishing, or because she just arrived to play in the states last year. Regardless as a Uconn recruit there will be way more eyeballs on her this year, so it will be interesting to see where she winds up in the rankings after the season and some AAU action.
 
The First Night video didn't pick up any of the recruits from what I saw. I'm eager to hear from the Horde and see any still photos.

Morgan hasn't taken her official visit yet, not sure about Allie.

I read somewhere, recently, that this visit to Storrs ( today ), was to be her (Morgan's) "official visit".
Any confirmation of that?? Same question for Allie??

2025 commit Kelis Fisher had a video on Instagram of her at Gampel sitting next to Sarah Strong and Arianna Roberson.

Strong is playfully bantering with Kelis ("Omggggggg") about UConn on Arianna's Instagram post above. I take that as a very positive sign about all of them. None of them would do that unless they were getting along really well together. My magic 8-ball says "All signs point to Yes Yes Yes."

Not trying to burst any bubbles, just trying to not get everyone too hopeful.. but Sarah wasn’t responding to Kelis. Sarah’s comment was just responding to Arianna’s post, Sarah’s comment just to happened to fall under Kelis’ comment. So I wouldn’t look too far into this as a “sign”… but I do love to see that there seems to be a friendship between Sarah and Arianna, maybe they are wanting to play together??

From the Kelis Instagram story last night Sarah didn’t seem to excited but Arianna seemed very excited and all smiles. Sure not to much to read just a observation. Everyone seems to think Sara is a lock but I have a feeling she ends up at LSU. I think Arianna will end up at Oregon or UConn. Mulky is a great closer and the fact she was at Sara’s home for a in home visit just before she left for her weekend visit at UConn indicates she’s headed to LSU. Go take your visit to UConn make sure u don’t have any second thoughts .. she will be committed to LSU by next week. Lastly I know Sara and Arianna both visited Oregon last week together might indicate they want to play together so it could lean to UConn and Oregon since those are the only schools they visited together. I think in the end they will end up going to separate schools. I’m sure I will get flack for it but it’s just my opinion. I don’t have any inside information just my gut feeling. I hope I’m wrong. Sara is a special player that only comes around once in awhile. She has the skill set of a Boston inside but with a great outside shot that stretches out to the 3 point line and Sara seems to make them at a high percentage from the videos I have seen of her especially repressing the US in the 3x3. Sara will be a nightmare to defend on both ends of the floor. If we can land her I see multiple titles in the near future!

The LSU assistant coaches IG story indicted like they got a verbal commitment from Sarah during the in home visit as well. Unfortunate but seems likely at this point.

I do believe she has another official visit planned for UNC next weekend though before she makes a decision so I wouldn’t expect an announcement for a couple of weeks.

I wouldn’t put too much weight in a recruit’s personal reaction on a recruiting visit. Kids are different. Case in point. Lou & Pheesa were polar opposites. Lou is outgoing, gregarious and bubbling over with personality. Pheesa is reserved, thoughtful and low key. They both ended up at UConn, won a national championship together, were 3x AA’s and ended up the best of friends.

What exactly did the IG story insinuate?

That said, Geno ain't losing Strong to Kim. bank on it... Redus is a clown who also thought he had Koval.

I heard Strong is going to commit to UCONN few weeks ago and her parents are pushing it. They know Geno will make Strong a unanimous all American and she will be a WNBA all star because of his development. Geno is about to sign his #11th Number 1 Player since the mid 2000s. he knows how to finish with recruits like this.. Once they come to First Night, they are 90% likely to pull the trigger....
