Nice that Taya's coming.
"We didn't want them in," DeFilippo said. "It was a matter of turf. We wanted to be the New England team."
That is the most selfish, money-grubbing, chicken darn, amoral, jealous and unsportsmanlike action by a college AD and President I have seen in my lifetime.
The rest of the ACC schools should vote BC out of the league, and welcome UConn in. I hope UConn has a very sharp lawyer looking for options to sue DeFilippo and Boston College.

I guess if Omar Calhoun shows up, Sierra will too, although both were on campus last weekend.
So that'd be two from 2012 (Morgan, Xylina) and one each from 2013 (Taya) and 2014 (Sierra). Am I missing anybody that's been confirmed?
Kib is right. The Waners and Paris sisters (certainly the latter) were true package deals. The Calhouns just want to play at the same place--there is no deal that, if you take one, you have to take both."Package Deal" implies that UConn would have to take them both or none at all. I do not sense that is the case. Older brother Omar is a UConn commit. I do not have any knowledge of Sierra yet having a scholarship offer (but it is reasonable to think that one may be forthcoming). I believe if they both wind up at UConn (nice thought!) it will be the result of separate decisions by coaches Calhoun and Auriemma and separate decisions by Omar and Sierra. That is not, to me, a "package deal."
Anyone remember the two sisters who went to Duke as a "package deal"? One was pretty good and the other one wasn't. No wonder Geno steered clear of that "deal."

I'll be interested in whether Jannah Tucker (G, 2013) will be in Storrs for First Night. Chris Dailey was among the coaches watching Tucker light it up at an AAU event this past weekend. The Frese was also there and hoping Tucker decides to stay home and attend UMD.
The Pep Boys?I believe there were triplets who played in Pennsylvania who were also a package deal...
