Poll - Agot Makeer's final three

[Vowelguy]

Michigan St is 12 hour drive from her home, and there's not even a direct flight from Detroit (which is hours away). If she picks MSU, I'm gonna doubt it was because of proximity.

 

[BobbyJ]

Me too, not sure how we missed even showing interest in the Swords sisters.

It could have been the other way around.

Hartford (1345) and Columbia SC (1461) are about twice as far.

When you a top 5 player I would think you would want to be coached by the best. Coaches who will develop you and make you the player you want to become. If UConn was her dream school then I really like our chances a lot.

It’s not always about basketball, especially for a teenager

Univ of Michigan is a half hour drive from the airport in Detroit. It’s not just a proximity thing

In the Youtube interview that I watched, Agot said that she wanted her family to be able to come & watch her play.

The actual flight time from Thunder Bay to East Lansing, MI is 1:24 minutes.
Perhaps there's a way for her parents to travel b private charter fllight.
But let's not make believe that proximity isn't an issue for the player & her family.
She has already been going to high school in Florida far away from home, so maybe she has personal reasons for wanting her college to be closer to home.
There miust be good reasons why Michigan State is still on her options list.

Agreed. Not much is known about their recruitment in general.

Well, then her family can just move to Connecticut. I'm sure we can find her a house for them, just don't tell the Tennessee fans because they will say UConn fought it for them.

Yeah, don’t tell the NCAA either because it’s a rules violation

There are still rules?

There are still rules?

If she's entitled to it, she can use that NIL cash to rent a quaint pied a terre in lovely Storrs CT for her folks........

 

[Tonyc]

Well if she wants her family to be able to watch her every UConn game is televised.

So are all of SC and MSUs.

We don't know that now that SNY is going away.

If they're watching from Canada, don't be so sure. We don't have the same access to US networks via our cable channels. This is an assumption Americans make often.

Our version of the FCC has specific rules to ensure Canadian channels get priority. And our cable providers like to make it difficult and more expensive for us to get that access unfortunately.

Technically this is where Michigan State and the BIG10 in general have an advantage. BIG10+ is available to users outside of the US and it's a heck of a lot better than TSN+ here. I have a lot of friends with kids on scholarship in different sports who rave about it because they don't have to go through illegal means to watch their kids.

Sooo, don't be surprised if she chooses Michigan State.
