Kerry Bascom is widely recognized as the first real blue chip to come to UCONN, and the first all american (she was from New Hampshire).
other big recruits leading up to 2000 when we then went on a huge roll included Lobo, Sales, Ralph, (Swin/Ashja/Tamika), and then Diana.
I didn't include Wolters, Bird, or Rizotti as i don't think they were HS all americans, but my question goes for them too...
what other schools were recruiting each of them? did it come down to UCONN and one other school with UCONN prevailing? how close were some of these kids to choosing other schools?
I'm guessing Bascom seriously considered Providence, and i think Ralph chose between UCONN and UNC, but there are no internet articles going back that far... so i can't be sure of any of them. anyone recall any info on their recruitment?
as a side note...
Strother chose UCONN over Tennessee, Georgia, Stanford, Purdue and ND.
Charde chose UCONN over Texas
Renee - ???
Tina - ???
Maya chose UCONN over Tennessee, Duke and Georgia
EDD chose UCONN over Tennessee, Duke and Villanova
