Portal is closed with some exemptions, but effectually all impact candidates have entered with only 4 top 10 remaining undeclared: Williams, Fulwiley, Kneepkens, and Heckel. No real indication that any of these are in consideration by or considering UConn. Is it reasonable to expect Geno to have something cooking here or staying with current roster for 2025-2026?
 
I believe it closes at midnight tonight.

Interesting that the women are a day later when the championship game is a day earlier.
 
isn’t UConn on Serah’s short list?
That's kind of a yes but. Lots of conjecture, e.g. someone stated that she had been at one of UConn tournament games, many others stated that after her LSU visit she was going there and I think another stated that UNC was an interest. But really nothing definitive from her or Geno at this point.

Unless you have sources, you statement "are in consideration by or considering UConn." is just speculation on your part.

I just subscribed to Skim Milkey's paid Discord server. She held a live chat last night and shared that Serah Williams will be visiting UConn next week, her choice is down to UConn vs. LSU, and LSU is courting her heavily. It sounds like Serah has not, in fact, visited UConn yet, which matched my suspicion. (I was at the first- and second-round NCAA tournament games at Gampel, with a pretty good view of the seats behind the UConn bench and didn't see anyone who looked like her; but who knows if my eyesight can be trusted, or if she was sitting in the "family and friends" section?)

For those unfamiliar, "Skim Milkey" is a pseudonymous, but highly accurate, source of women's basketball scoops on social media.

Many reports on Williams being in play. And some rumors about Heckel. But definitely not the other 2.

It sounds like we're at least a week away from hearing anything.

I assume the pseudonym is some sort of satire of Kim.

You assume correctly. The account's avatar is an image of Kim, resplendent in a colorful sequined suit, with laser beams shooting out of her eyes.

While it worries me a bit LSU is putting on the full-court press...I have to say I'm glad that we are the last visit!
 
Portal closing is more symbolic of no more entries into it. But if we dial time back aways, pre portal, players can always transfer schools pending the usual red shirt, waiver, or appeal to NCAA.
