great day with the huskies

Everyone looks happy right now.

When her class enters college, we will have just lost Katie/Napheesa and, hopefully, Azura [that is assuming Azura plays
2 years]. Sounds a bit like our loss this year with Breanna/Morgan/Moriah.
My impression is that there are no true bigs coming in next year though their talent is considerable.
Junior class: so far...one big Charli Collier. Are we truly after any other big from 2018?
It sounds like there might well be room from the class of 2019 for one or two bigs...PT available if they prove worthy.

Note: I hope to get a second look at Worcester Academy soph big Aliyah [Peaches] Boston on Wednesday afternoon at 4 at Suffield Academy.
CD was in the gym at one of her games a few weeks ago....won't be the case on Wednesday since the crew will be in Philly that evening.

Don't forget we have Camara eligible to play next year and she will be on UCONN's roster until at least end of 18-19 season and possibly end 19-20 season. Camara might not be a "true" big but she capable of playing big.
I sure hope UCONN is all in on Olivia Nelson-Ododa '18.

Looks to be a good sized player...........A solid 6'3 for sure.

ESPN says 6'5" so she's probably 6'3"-6'4"

That's the one to get. Her skills would complement C.Collier's very well.

 

[Gabbyfan]

Oh boy, now we have another player to analyze how tall she is...she is standing next to Geno in sneakers....remember Geno is shrinking as he gets older.

 

[skilz]

This would be a great pick up for UConn.

 

[FASTEDDY]

I literally know nothing about River Baldwin except for the cool name.

However, if Geno and Co. are recruiting her (and this early) then she must be a very good player. In GENO I TRUST!

Hope she joins the Huskies.

Sounds about right and good enough to start yet another height controversy.

On ONO, you and me both. She is going to be a difference maker at the next level. A young lady with a lot of versatility.

I'm insulted. I like to think of myself as diminutive.

 

[bags27]

ESPN says 6'5" so she's probably 6'3"-6'4"

I'm assuming Geno is now around 5'9" (I tell my doctor I no longer care if he weighs me, just don't measure my height!). From that, and given that Geno's wearing heeled shoes and she's wearing sneakers and his hair is a little more "puffy" than hers, 6'5" could be right. What I'm more interested in is the painting behind them. I just can't figure out what building that hangs in. Anyone have an idea?

 

[JordyG]

FOTFLOL. Bags, you've got me today. Just let me breathe for a second and I'll be okay. Unfortunately whenever measurement comes up the doc looks down at me and says "Are you sure about this?"

 

[bags27]

Okay, anything to avoid work.... Marisa was 6'2 when she played, and we can assume she's young enough to still be that. Going forward, we should establish the MM unit of measure whenever she's in the picture. By the MM unit, River could well be 6'5"

Great handle, no doubt.

But I would hope that we would go for broke and recruit Queen Egbo (2018), Heavenly Greer (2020), and my favorite - get ready - Treasure Hunt (2020)!

Since S. Austin committed to Maryland, it's either ONO or pf N. Smith for frontcourt help in the 2018 recruiting cycle. I'm still expecting C. Williams to join UConn from that year's class.

C. Williams (hopefully)
C. Collier
Walker
Coombs
Gordon
AEH
The future looks pretty good from here.

Oh my goodness! I'm gonna give you a chance to print a retraction because you are missing a very big part of the UCONN's future-Think Guns !

BTW, not the most flattering picture of Shea Ralph.

I only included those that have not already played on the team.
Future Huskies as opposed to present Huskies

Fair enough but when C. Collier is a Freshmen it will be Junior Crystal responsible for getting her the ball in the post. The two will overlap for 2 hopefully championship seasons.

 

[MilfordHusky]

River is the #22 player and #3 center in 2019 per HG. She's the tallest player in the top 25.

Have we ever gotten or even recruited player from Alabama?
