Message: [QUOTE="ConnMotors, post: 5118777, member: 9800"] Hi; I am looking forward to the graph that is posted when players make announcements. But until that comes out lets look at what we have. We all know that Kaitlin Chen and Aubrey Griffen have used up their college playing time. So they will be saying good-bye at the end of the season. Paige Bueckers will be the overall No. #1 pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft. However, she still has a Medical Redshirt Year remaining. As posted before if the Dallas Wings wind up with the first pick then Paige should return to college. Scuttlebutt recently on our board mentions that Azzi Fudd may return for another year. This actually caught me by surprise. But wouldn't that be an awesome move by her. If that happens I believe that Caroline Ducharme will do the same thing. They both have medical years and can hang out to play another year. Things get interesting after next years class as we would have five players departing. Ice Brady, Ayanna Patterson, KK Arnold, Ashlynn Shade and Qadence Samuels. That is if no one transfers out and everyone plays. So no medical redshirts. Our current freshman class of Jana El-Alfy, Morgan Cheli, Sarah Strong and Allie Ziebell is a solid group. They will be fun to watch for three more years following this season. Next years recruiting class has now signed. That is 14 players. As of today three players would be leaving as listed above along with Paige. And, we have three players joining the team in: Kelis Fisher, Gandy Malou-Manuel and Blanca Quinonez. I know that many of us were disappointed when Lara Somfai didn't join our class. There is also still the possibility that Agot Makeer may come to UConn. If so, then next year we would have a 15 player team. I honestly don't see that happening because the Class of 2026 is stacked. I have lost track of which players have received offers from UConn but I believe that Saniyah Hall, Kate Harpring, Jerzy Robinson, Olivia Vukosa, Brihanna Crittendon and Allison Bjorn all have. If Makeer does join our incoming class then there would only be two opening for this tremendous 2026 Class. Geno and staff know what they are doing of course. I believe that he holds onto that 15th seat unless things change roster wise. Next year if things hold true to form we have Guards: Azzi Fudd, Ashlynn Shade, KK Arnold, Allie Ziebell and Kelis Fisher. At Wing, Caroline Ducharme, Qadence Samuels, Morgan Cheli and Blanca Qunonez. In the paint are Ice Brady, Ayanna Patterson, Jana El Alfy, Sarah Strong and Gandy Malou-Manuel. Thats a 14-player team. Look very good to me. [/QUOTE]
