Yep, it will be the McDonogh school in Owings Mills, Maryland. By the way, their high school girls' lacrosse team had not lost a game in about in 9 seasons. They had their streak snapped at 198 games by Notre Dame Prep on May 11, 2018. This article about their dominance has some familiar themes in it. This ends the high jack. I promise.;)

How McDonogh girls lacrosse became the most unbeatable team in high school sports history

Regarding the BTW, I follow girl's lacrosse quite a bit (because both my daughters played) and McDonogh is, indeed, spectacular with the run they've had. Not suprisingly, they produce almost D1-ready laxers who contribute in their freshman years and lead by their second. Two such players -- Savannah Buchanan and Andy Aldive -- are All-Americans for the Irish Women's Lacrosse team. Aldive is a whiz at faceoffs.

How can you tell? There are at least 28 schools listed there and I can't see the bottom of the pic. Is that a "final" list or is she just showing school logos for fun?

It is actually 31 schools, a few more are on the bottom of the second page. Not sure how hard it is to narrow it down to 31.

I’m guessing one of two things happened:
1) UConn moved on.
2) She is one of those “trailblazers” that come along every so often.

Hmmmm I'm sure there was an expression of interest, but I don't think Geno has ever met her.

I was thinking the same, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he was at Crestwood Secondary at some point over the last year or so checking out Lattimore and Edwards.

To my knowledge, though @Sluconn Husky could certainly confirm/deny, Edwards has not been on campus either.

UConnCat would be more likely to know if Geno visited Crestwood, but that hasn't been reported anywhere.

Edwards and Jasmine Lister began following one another on social media the day after the U19 World Cup ended back in July. Crestwood had been following Jasmine for a while which could've been for either or both Edwards and Lattimore.

Edwards has not visited that I'm aware of.

I don't believe Geno has been to Crestwood and if he had he would not have been able to have direct contact with Lattimore. Jasmine attended a Crestwood game earlier this year.

There is not a lot known about UConn's interest in Edwards and vice versa. There is circumstantial evidence to suggest mutual interest but nothing has been confirmed mostly because of how private Edwards has been about her recruitment.
 
Chris Dailey watched Aaliyah Edwards in person at the U19 World Cup just prior to the co-follows between Edwards and Lister.

UConn was also present for at least one AAU event Edwards played in this summer.
 
One other note: as UConnCat pointed out to me, Mir Mclean is following Aaliyah Edwards on Twitter.

There are no obvious non-UConn reasons for Mclean to be following Edwards. They are from different countries, have never crossed paths on the AAU circuit as they play in different divisions, and have never faced one another internationally.

Pardon my ignorance about Twitter, has Edwards reciprocated with McLean?

Wait. So this girl is considering like 30 schools that she likely has offers from and axed UConn from her list?

Sounds to me like she didn’t actually have a UConn offer or she just doesn’t like dogs or something. It would be too odd to post THAT many other school logos and exclude one of the top programs in the nations....

Ya know, Evelyn doesn't like dogs and not only managed to come to UConn, but posed with Jonathan when they were doing pictures in Gampel. Maybe we could put her on the case!

But, seriously, it is what it is. On to the next.

Or, she realizes that UConn is in a really good spot with other bigs(Gabirel and DeBerry) and already has ONO on the roster. Maybe she just doesn't want to sit on the bench for 3 years before she plays? These kids know a lot more than us about where everybody is leaning.

Do you think interest in Gabriel reveals that UConn does not feel like they are in a good position with Cardosa?

possibly shows a bizarre lack of interest from anybody over 6'1" in the class but who really knows...........:rolleyes::p

Fixed for you. This is the jump the shark moment for interest lists. Unless you're the second coming of Diana Taurasi (and the closest I've seen to her already committed to UConn this past spring), I don't want to hear about it until you're down to your half dozen top contenders.
