Sorry guys, no announcement that I'm aware of, but I thought Olivia (ONO) deserves her own thread, now that Christyn is a UConn commit.

I believe that Olivia has said that her decision will be announced during this early signing period, which ends next Wednesday, November 15. I haven't heard anything regarding a date, but she has only 5 days remaining. I hope she liked what Geno is selling and decides to join Christyn and become a Husky for life too.
 
Yes i was thinking the same thing, she has 5 days to decide during the early signing period. Has anyone know if she will tske her final ov to Georgia? Or if she is close to making a decision?
 
One point I forgot is who is in the running. Some sources still list 6 schools of interest. One of the Horde lists 5 schools, dropping Stanford. A solid source confirms that Stanford is out of the running.

Here are the other 5 with comments:

Georgia--not a basketball power; it's the flagship university of her State, though.

Florida State--a strong program, but little history of getting top-5 kids.

Duke--she visited recently. One good source says she will not choose Duke.

South Carolina--They have Dawn and the 2017 trophy.

UConn--They have Geno, Christyn, and 11 trophies.

I think it comes down to UConn, South Carolina, and possibly Florida State. I have my fingers crossed. We should know in 5 days or sooner.

Hopefully I am wrong but I think FSU is where she is headed.

Does Williams verbals help us in landing Olivia? Does it hurt our chances? Or does it do neither/both?
 
How badly do we want her after that serious injury? She still hasn't played at 100% yet? Would it be the end of the world if she went elsewhere? We would then go hard after Boston? It could set up a monster class for 19. Boston, Bruney etc. There's some real live talent in this class.

We have THREE more full seasons to enjoy watching Crystal.

After the 19-20 season yes. When someone says to focus on the '20 season I figure it's the 20-21 that they are referring to.

Ah, a difference in perspective. I think of the tournament/end-of-season date.

An ironic note - at 5'5", Crystal will be a BIG sister (and mentor) to Christyn during their two years together. :D

We’ve gone from Grandma Tuck to Grandma Kia. Next year, we’ll have Grandma Crystal. Can we recruit Larry Johnson to be Grandmama? ;)

No impact. ONO is not threatened by CW (I'm pleased to have her aboard, the gangplank is down and awaiting ONO)
