Some players also don’t report offers, which can make it hard to tell (IIRC an offer was never officially reported from Mir or Aaliyah). There was an article that stated Wolfenbarger held an offer, but the Banshees post offers for their players, and a UConn one was never reported for Jersey.

In addition two 2020 players, Maggie Besselink (Canadian who committed to AZ State) and Ugonne Onyiah both listed UConn as the programs who they chose their respective schools over, but I had never heard of either of them, so who knows.

Our Husky Icon looks a little small (and thin?) and catching hives next to TN. :eek:

I think the dark blue UCONN blends in to the background diminishing the appearance size. Just notice that from left to right UConn is before UT, as it should be. :)

One of the aspects of recruiting that is often difficult to decipher is just which schools are really interested in a particular player and vice versa. Top HS players literally receive mailers from hundreds of schools which effectively starts the recruiting process. Most players eventually list their top choices which, in some cases, may be largely aspirational. I do believe that players list top schools like ND, SC, MD, Baylor, OR & UConn simply to generate solid offers from schools. After all, if ND & UConn are recruiting someone, they must be really good, so maybe we should offer them?

I've been saying here for years that high school players often confuse an expression of interest with a scholarship offer.

I clipped and zoomed both icons keeping the same scale and I think we got
the short end. And in my eyes, we are being put on the same 'Level' as TN. :mad::mad::mad: ;););)

You cut off some of UConn's logo. She included the logo with the words, not just the husky.

Just a tiny bit of the chin mane but I guess I am focused on the 'scrawny' width. :oops:

It's possible I've missed this being posted, but in case it wasn't here's a more up-to-date video highlight of Nika Muhl. If she plays like this or better for us it's going to be really hard to keep her off the floor. The next couple of years are going to be a pleasure to watch. And if we get Azzi and Amari, it will simply be glorious! Lol

Ok, I’m impressed.

Uh, shouldn’t you guys be done recruiting for at least two years? I mean, come on....when I think about what UConn did the last couple of years with a limited (though extremely talented) roster, I shudder to think about what could be coming.

Speaking of talent, Karen Aston was extended in 2016 to the end of the 19-20 season. Is this season the end of the road for her at Texas?

First Night, my assessments and what I recall:

Paige Bueckers--committed to come, I believe. She'll be recruiting.

Piath Gabriel--committed to come, I believe

Nika Muhl--possible, depending on travel

Mir McLean--probable

Saylor Poffenbarger--probable

All 5 players above have verbaled.

Some players who have not yet verbaled:

Azzi Fudd--probable, in my opinion

Amari DeBerry--probable, in my opinion

There may be other 2021 recruits and possibly some 2022 or 2023 recruits. In short, look for a BIG group.

If you haven't had a chance to watch Paige Bueckers, I enplore you to go to Youtube and watch her . One of the best high-school player i have ever watched.. and the thing is she is physically unassuming. Mentally tough. and a scoring machine. I followed her all last year. It was a Treat without the Trick

Welcome to the BY. The BY has been kind of Paige's playground/showcase/champion... for about 3 years now.
I'm not sure you find many that have not seen her videos. Unless, you have new ones?

Pretty sure there are videos of Bueckers that can ONLY be found on the BY, so you may want to use that as a means of Bueckers highlights:D

I disagree, she has A LOT of tricks in her game. She befuddled many of teams with her play be it either in scoring, passing, dribbling, and even in stealing.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I honestly do not know. As unhappy as many fans are, Aston has had more success than Texas has had in decades minus the brief renaissance Coach Conradt achieved in the early 2000s. But you are right that there has been silence regarding any extension and new AD Del Conte appears to set high demands on Texas coaches. This year’s team has five high school all-Americans—3 of whom are seniors. Depth is questionable and the team already has injuries.

I'm feeling lazy today. Can you put Karen's record side by side with Gail G's? Was either decidedly better?
 
People will say Gail G's problem was recruiting. But the end result is what counts in the end to a program isn't it? When looking at conference results, keep in mind that the Big 12 was a tougher league when Goestenkors was at Texas.

From Wiki, due to my laziness.
