Best news so far! Really looking forward to seeing her this year. And to think we have 3 more seasons to watch her.

A hidden benefit of the medical waiver is that it gives us a 2 person class with Chong. Never like a one (or 'no') person recruiting class.

Butler makes it a trifecta.

 

[Kibitzer]

Let's line them up by class in UConn:

Sophomore: Butler, Chong, and Tuck

Freshman: Williams, Nurse, Ekmark, and Edwards

HS Senior: Collier, Boykin, Samuelson​

That's ten pretty good players, all of whom will play for multiple seasons.

I like our chances.

Butler's part of this year's class. She'll graduate with them barring unforeseen circumstances.

 

[Sluconn Husky]

To me, Tuck is the X factor this year. If she's truly healthy and can develop like she would have in a normal sophomore season, that'll go a long way to negating the key losses of Dolson and Hartley.

Butler is actually part of the freshman class since she will have three years of eligibility after this year.

Good news for Morgan, her family and friends.

Good news for the team, coaches and fans.

Bad news for opponents.

UcM: that's the way I see it as well. She will be a soph when the new frosh become sophs....at that point Tuck and Chong will be juniors, I believe.

It's weird, we've discussed this ad nauseam, but people still seem to mess that up??? Butler is a Soph (school wise) this year, but basically nothing (redshirt) basketball wise this year. Next year she will be a Soph basketball wise ( a Jr school wise). Same as Williams, Edwards, Ekmark and Nurse. That's her class for basketball purposes.

I've explained it 3 or 4 times myself (besides all the others). Maybe everyone has me on "ignore"??

Morgan has the skills and savvy to be one of the best players in the country. I hope she is healthy enough to show everyone that.

I'm probably one of the most cautious in terms of expectations for a player following serious leg injuries, but all reports are sounding really good. More optimistic about it now.

Chances, you say?

Hmmm... Were you saying something?

Who could ignore you. Always interesting, even when dead wrong.

Have Pulido and Lawlor left the team?

Nope, they are in a some pictures around here on a couple threads.

In the white unis.

The official roster still shows them, which makes me smile. They stepped up when the team needed them for practices and such, and TLaw turned out to be a bit of a deadeye 3-point shooter.

 

[Zorro]

If you recall, at one point in their HS careers, Morgan was rated #1, ahead of MoJet and Stweie. Before the injury.

That was definitely an oversight though...

I wouldnt say... Morgan was on a highly ranked team that played the best of the best. of course we can say what we wanna after the fact(s)
