Recee Caldwell on campus today...

[EricLA]

Just a reminder...If anyone sees any reports, please let the rest of us know. Just wanted to remind everyone this terrific 2014 top 10 guard from Texas is at UCONN on an unofficial visit... Let's hope she decides to follow in Moriah's footsteps!!

Good news! It's only 1 degree F colder in Storrs than on the Long Island Sound shoreline today!

Agreed! Please do not expect a verbal this weekend! Having said that,I certainly would be ecstatic if we do ultimately get her! Wouldn't hurt abit if the other "kid" from TX comes back out in Feb. and we were to get both

Have a great time, Recee!

Enjoy the banners, trophies, intense practice, and family atmosphere. You can learn from the coaches, as well as Bria Hartley, Moriah Jefferson, Sue Bird, and Diana Taurasi.

There's some mighty fine BBQ right over from Storrs in Vernon.

Someone who knows: please refresh my fading memory!

What usually happens during an 'unofficial' visit? What's disallowed?

All expenses must be paid for by the Caldwell's...

Welcome to Storr's!! Hope you like what you see enough to become part of the UCONN family!

Thanks, but what I want to know is what activities are the 'unofficial' party allowed to participate in? Do they have meetings with the staff? Can they attend practices? Participate in meals with the team?

In other words, are the recruit and family allowed to do anything other than wander around campus?

Anything that any other potential student can do is allowed.

More info in a NC State .pdf LINK

Here are some tips. LINK

I found the NC State .pdf surprisingly more useful than the chatty swimmer's discussion. It looks to me like 'unofficial visits' are a heckuva lot more than 'just another high school kid' coming to take a gander at Whatsamatta U.

Thanks, Brother Bear!

How do you pronounce her first name?

 

[Kibitzer]

I would think that there would be a few important items on the agenda.

A player will "host" the visitor by taking her to a class and showing her about the campus. I would bet a nickel that Kaleena is selected.​

Parents would meet with both coaches and faculty (if a potential major is identified).​

Practice will be observed (including Geno yelling at someone).​

Plans for the new practice facility will be displayed.​

SNY schedule will be explained, especially plans for streaming games.​

No guru on Texas geography and the distance to College Station from various locales but it will be interesting to see who is courtside in mid-November [the 17th?] when UConn plays at Texas A&M.

Maybe Recee' and her folks...Moriah's folks....Brianna Turner and her family??? The more the merrier!
How about Geno embracing some Texas culture and wearing an authentic Roy Rogers or Hopalong Cassidy hat...hey...the whole staff too!

College Station is kind of in the middle of nowhere but reasonably accessible from all of the major urban areas if one is inclined to go there. Mo's family will have a bit of a trek from the Dallas area, but not too, too bad. It's not too terribly far from the Houston area either (where Brianna Turner is from). This is going to be a pretty big event for A&M, and I have to think there will be a number of high school prospects in attendance. Gary is one country fried dude, but he's no dummy.

I think it's pronounced Ree-say because it is spelled Recee'

I think it's pronounced Ree-say because it is spelled Recee'

That's the way I've seen it broken down as well.

 

[MilfordHusky]

I thought it was more "Ruh-say" with the accent on the 2nd syllable.

Your guess is as good as mine! I've never heard it pronounced so I was just throwing a guess out.

 

[Icebear]

Only other person I've known pronounced it ree-cee with long e's.

I'm impressed with your archives.

Playing for UConn will be a big deal for the next few seasons. Family and friends can hook up with cable and get SNY and watch their child play anywhere in the country. I think that will help recruiting alot.
