For those of you who don't know, UConn is an 11x national champion!

thanks for that: we had no idea, did we BYers?

I had the sound turned down, at work lol
Will watch it later.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Some kids are worth waiting for. Christyn and Olivia are 2 of them!

 

[BigBird]

The HS band played the UConn fight song!

Probably a recording. Either that, or that’s one heck of a well-rehearsed high school band.

 

[rford53]

This announcement is going to take FOREVER.

UCONN!!!!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Somewhere, Geno is going, "Yessssssssssss!!!!"

 

[Kevin G]

Welcome to UCONN Nation Olivia!!!!!!!

 

[BroadwayVa]

You still have made no point at all why going to UConn is worse than any other D1 program in terms of having a FULL college experience. Any D1 program will limit a player somewhat, be it UConn or a small D1.

If it is Observed it becomes obvious. Further no other program was suggested, nor was NOT going to Uconn indicated. Please highlight where I stated or inferred Division 1 program or any program?????
My State Department Daughter graduated with honors from Uconn. She did not play basketball on any team. She played while at Tolland HS. None of her other sisters played basketball. All graduated from other schools with more identifiable names--not one misses not playing. College is about education and the experience.
At no time did I imply or infer that you or others should not accept the Uconn BB experience--I need women to watch playing BB.

As a grown man with 2 athletes in college and a daughter also headed to be a college athlete, I literally put a key client call on hold so I could completely engage in this Last 5 minutes to see the above tweet/thread postings and actually felt my heart jump with seeing this! It’s a good day!

funny.

last year, I was teaching a graduate student seminar, looked down at my cell phone, and yelled, UConn just got Megan Walker. Twelve graduate students gave me a very puzzled look....

Yeah, UConn being in the AAC is really putting a damper on Geno able to recruit top echelon recruits.

 

[JustinesGuy]

HOw would you like to eat your crow today?

It was reverse psychology. Happy too.

And the fact that Christyn and Olivia both hail from SEC territory makes this all the sweeter.

 

[j66kicker]

Soooo... Now I think we can definitely say we didn't get skunked for 2018

Yahtzee!

So, will some of the talent scouts in the yard please draw the comparison between ONO and Longhorn Collier?

 

[Centerstream]

I wonder if we will see any updated recruiting class standings in the very near future????

 

[YellwJcket999]

We are stacked for the next 5 years.

 

[HawkHusky]

Excellent. Anyone got a replay of the selection?

 

[MilfordHusky]

We are cleaning up in the South! What do you think about that, Maya?

 

[BigBird]

Attention Baby Bruney! Look what’s building in Storrs. There IS room for at least one more. Why wait?

 

[eebmg]

And the fact that Christyn and Olivia both hail from SEC territory makes this all the sweeter.

So. Can we join the SEC?

 

[bags27]

That is very, very true. WCBB will be competitive with the usual suspects, but there will be no trough for UConn, like there has been after other great runs. UConn is locked and loaded and ready to take on all comers. Geno & Co hasn't missed a beat.

I was just thinking, Is this the first recruit from Georgia since the great Maya?

So I'm just visualizing the roster for next year:
Seniors: Lou, Pheesa, Azurá
Juniors: Crystal, Batouly, Bent, Irwin
Sophomores: Walker, Coombs, Gordon, AEH
Freshmen: Williams, ONO

 

[meyers7]

We just got Coombs last year.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Mikayla Coombs, from last year.

 

[donalddoowop]

Excellent. Anyone got a reply of the selection?[/ A reply?

Seniors: Lou, Pheesa, Azurá, Batouly
Juniors: Crystal, Bent, Irwin
Sophomores: Walker, Coombs, Gordon, AEH

That looks like 7, maybe more, collegiate All-Americans.

Batouly will be a junior in basketball eligibility and you are leaving out the Mag girl. She will commit in the Spring.

 

[Carnac]

WE GOT HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's not a single fan in UC Nation that's not grinning like a chess cat right now.

Nice try, but we're not buying it.

 

[AdamOwe]

Well, I’d say that went well.

Charli who? /sorry
