September UConn Recruiting Thread

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.
It didn’t seem like it was a narrowed down list. It seemed rather like a list of all offers or interest or something. I don’t think I’ve seen any other recruit post that many logos at once to this point
 
Hmmmm I'm sure there was an expression of interest, but I don't think Geno has ever met her.
I am from Toronto and this is only a great marketing scheme. She might have received a letter from UConn asking about her Summer schedule but that's probably it. Crestwood is very good at marketing their girls, especially Latasha and Shayeann.

Another marketing scheme from Crestwood to get people talking about Latasha. It seems to have worked.
 
Maybe the UConn Logo is behind the Ball? ;)

Most of these kids think they're transcendent talents. In my mind Angel Reese is a fine example. What they don't realize is that unless you dominate at absolutely every level, and I mean dominate every game, including FIBA U games, you're not going to dominate at the next two levels. I remember saying about Reliah Boothe that I wanted to be a fly on the wall in the gym at her first practice at MD when she realized she wasn't the best player in the country. That indeed, she wasn't even the best player in the gym. I then said I wanted to see how she would respond to that. As Geno says, yes most of these players coming out of HS think they're DT or MJ. But if you come to UConn you will be exposed. The truth is at most top level programs in MCBB and WCBB you will be exposed. It's how you respond to that fact that is most important.

Thanks and welcome.

Can't they practice with the team? If so I'd love to see Paige play with/against Williams & Westbrook.

Brink (2nd ) > Van Lith (3rd) :confused::confused:

It seems like a promotional list for Oregon. And I would not describe Lauren Betts as "rail thin" either. But it's always nice to see two future Huskies on 1st teams.

;) I saw that.

No Cardoza. Well, if she committs to a PAC 12 team it'll be different. :rolleyes:

I'll take Cardoza, Bueckers, Fudd, and two people drawn randomly from the stands on my team. :D
 
I know that All-American status should be based on accomplishments and recruiting ranking is based on the expected fit at the next level, but this list has Treasure Hunt in the top 5 and HoopGurlz has her at #28 in her class. That’s a huge disparity.

I trust Geno. He thought that Paige and Azzi could have given us 15 good bench minutes in 2016-17. They were the 2 best players in high school last year, even better than Jones and Horston. They are the creme de la creme.
 
The Mystics will have at least one more home game this season. They may have a game 5 against Las Vegas. They may have games 1 and 2 against Connecticut or Los Angeles. As you are watching WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne and her teammates, keep in mind that the arena scoring record is held by a high school sophomore. Azzi Fudd tallied 38 points in the D.C. City Title game against a very good but helpless Georgetown Visitation team. I saw her in person several times last year. Azzi was unstoppable.

Lattimore is no longer considering UConn after receiving an offer this summer:

Lol, we are the only team she isn't interested in.
 
I know Cardosa is planning a visit to UConn. Does anyone know if it will happen thr weekend of first night?
 
Lol, we are the only team she isn't interested in.
I think we might be typically making too much out of this one snap shot. One of the schools not present in the picture is Michigan, yet Latasha has definitely visited Michigan as prominently pictured on her Instagram. She also class of 2021 meaning there is plenty of time for her to get interested in UCONN or UCONN to become interested in her.

I was commenting on the sheer number of schools there. It's like a NCAA membership roster.

Michigan is at the bottom of the image (you have to look at the "second" picture in this post, it's really just scrolled down the image...just shows how many school she has).

Agree that this is quite a few schools. She is a very talented young lady with a lot of options. The absence of UCONN from the list might just be her being realistic. In this class, at forward position UCONN has documented offers to DeBerry, Rayah Marshall, & Poffenbarger. Don't know where UCONN interest currently lies, but at one time Jillian Hollingshead and Teonni Key were also being evaluated by the staff at the forward spot.
