Qadence Samuels commits!

No. I noticed a while back that UConn coaches were following her on social media but thought it was late interest that would not be reciprocated. She has been recruited heavily by Tennessee, Maryland and Louisville to name a few.
Excuse the question, but how do we know that she was "recruited heavily" by the 3 schools mentioned? If she had solid offers from them then I feel better about this commit.
She does seem to fill a need with only Aubrey (if healthy) as a SR, Caroline as a JR and Patterson as a SOPH, at the #3 spot and Patterson maybe playing more as a #4 than a #3.
 
One more thing about rankings - wait until the next update comes out. After more is known about Qadence, and who has offered her, her ranking will rise similar to Jess Moore who went from 45 to about 15 after she committed to UConn.
 
Any interesting overlap with Azzi and/or the Fudds?

See post 39. It tells you all her offers

It shows 2 different HS’s on ESPN’s Hoopgurlz. Bishop Mac-Samuels & St. John’s (DC)-Thomas.
 
Quadence made 4th team All-Met (DMV) last season. Her teammate was Gia Cooke, a 1st team All-Met, who is headed to Maryland.
 
Stephanie Dolson was ranked as the 39th-best recruit nationally and rated as the second-best center in the country by ESPN Hoopgurlz back in 2009, or 2010. I watched her play for the Tennessee Flight(AAU) team at Nike Nationals in July 2009. I said to my self what does Geno see in her, other than a very good post up center. Geno knows what he can do and what potential players have, or what he can teach them to do.

Rankings, or ratings are something for the Bio page on the college roster link and for parents and grandparents to brag about. "Oh look what my Sally Sue is ranked and what award she won" Means nothing if you cant move up a level and improve your game, in all facets.

I know absolutely nothing about Ms Samuels but she certainly plays for ultra-competitive teams....... I assume she must have the specific skills and attitude that Geno is Looking for........the question is, is this the end of UConn recruiting for '23?

Samuels effortlessly runs the floor. She glides baseline to baseline and is a threat to either sprint for an easy layup at the rim or spot up for the transition triple. Her confidence and effectiveness from deep have really improved over the last year. Her improved shot preparation has helped her in all aspects of her shooting, and she attacks the elbows for pull-up jumpers very well.

Defensively, her frame and length allow her to be a real weapon for her team. Her high school and club (Team Takeover) programs emphasize defense, and she has begun to buy in. As that becomes more of a staple, she can be a lock-down type of defender, and her rebounding will improve as she adds more strength.

Samuels, who averages 13.5 points and 6.9 rebounds, has a competitive edge in between the lines that separates her. As she learns to translate that into day-to-day work, consistency and production, watch her stock continue to rise. She has offers from North Carolina, Tennessee, Wake Forest, Florida State, Alabama, Kansas State, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech Miami, Mississippi State and Pitt.



MaxPreps puts her on 3rd team All-American among juniors. They have Arnold and Shade on 2nd team and Toomey on 3rd team.
 
Wouldn’t surprise me if you guys got Thomas. I know Maryland (and possibly ND) are also looking into her. Don’t know who else though.

Kelly Faris was #34 in 2009, Dolson was #39, while Samarie Walker was #10 in the same 2010 class.

Anyone knows where is Samarie Walker now? Last I check she is in Europe.

Samarie was #1 as a high school sophomore
 
Didn't Delaney Thomas have some strong Breann Stewart fandom quotes. I also seem to recall a quote that she played against a UConn player (recruit?) that just bulled her over? :confused::confused::confused:
 
So are you guys getting Thomas too??
Hopefully, yes... and (hopefully) Del Rosario as well. An updated Fab FIVE: Shade, Arnold, Samuels, Thomas, & Del Rosario.

So far, we have a lot of SAS! ;) ;) ;) Who are humble, extremely talented, high BB IQs, strong motors, willing to work hard, and refuse to lose! All traits of outstanding Huskies!

The future is bright!
