Just my $.02 on the scholly thing - whether Geno would or would not renew a scholly for a walk on...
Next year he'd have 11, 13 if both walk ons have schollies.
Year after, he currently has 11. I could see him taking 2 more from that class making it 13. if both walk ons have schollies that's 15. AND that's only if he lands 2 more kids from 2016 AND both walk ons have schollies. IMHO it's kind of a moot point as to whether he'd offer one of the walk ons a scholly the following season since it's very unlikely he will recruit more than 15 kids.
It's kind of like arguing with your wife about what you'd do with winning $20 mill in the lottery. Both are very unlikely situations...
By the way in an Pulido said she has dreamed of being at UConn since she was in fifth grade. In an article from last year,
“I certainly didn't see [the opportunity] coming,” Pulido said. “In the spring, I noticed a tweet looking for candidates. And I said to myself that I should find out about it.
“I played some pickup, they liked what they saw and then I came back in the fall. And all worked out.”
UConn has transferred Pulido's athletic scholarship to the basketball program, but Lawlor currently is without one."
Since UConn already has a Brianna (Banks
I doubt that he would pro actively move someone this soon unless there was a really serious issue going on. Which could be the case. I would think having a 4th pure guard on the bench this season would have been a positive - all things being equal. We don't have real 1 & 2 guards coming in next year.
She has the HS resume... but she's playing the same position as Kia Nurse. She wasn't going to get Kia's minutes.
True agree with you on the guards for next year but we still have mojeff chong and Nurse while you can swing LouConn and Collier at the 2. Everyone on next year team will be able to handle the ball except Butler and Boykins. Plus if he want to sign another guard in the spring we still can do that
No kidding- your favorite? That's interesting. I think she will pan out to be a really good player. What a basketball build she has.
HU- i am more worried about this year being thin at guard. I'm not paranoid - losing sleep nervous. When we lost Samarie Walker, a naturally solid defender and rebounder, on that thin bench that year- to me was a devastating blow to our chance to win the NC. Stef was still a bit slow, fouling a lot, and the only bench we had was Dixon I think. And in the semis or NC vs N Dame, Stef got two really quick fouls and against that ND team, that game was over very quickly- in my opinion.
Lol i was seriously hurt when Walker left because I didn't understand why. She was getting a lot of minutes and playing well.
Even Stef Dolson wanted to leave during her freshman year. Glad she stayed!
That's high unlikely for a coach to allow a player to transfer in mid season and then sit out the following season to get 3 full years. The norm with midseason transfer is that they must do a full year of residency then play. I wonder how it works doing a year and a half of residency, if the player will have to pay the half year tuition. A few special cases all being a mid season transfers 1. NCAA waived her sitting out due to hardship sick grandmother and allowed her to play immediately but she sat out anyway. 2. Transfer will be eligible later this month school contiplated a medical redshirt as she would be playing behind a senior. 3. School allowed a transfer but didn't release her from loi making her lose a full year of eligibility.
