Serah Williams Commits to UConn

[hoopsfan22]

Welcome Serah!

 

[DEpup]

Bsck in Business!

This is the best possible news from the portal we could have hoped for. Exactly what we needed. And clearly the approach Geno and UConn took resonated better than the approach Kim and LSU took. LOVE this. So many options to mix/match. Welcome to UConn Serah!!!

My only problem - what are we going to call Sarah and Serah???!!!

OK Ms. Heckel - you are next!!!

 

[ec33]

I thought I was feeling good about next year's team before. This is a big, big addition.

 

[Bone Dog]

Serah is going to have so much fun playing with Geno’s guards and Sarah. She will be the beneficiary of the best passing game in D1. Nothing at Wisconsin could have prepared her for this.

​

A two-time All-Big Ten First Team selection and the league’s defensive player of the year in 2024, Williams should start alongside Sarah Strong in UConn’s frontcourt. This past season, she averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game, reaching double-figures in all but two contests and totaling 14 double-doubles.​

Wow, what a perfect addition.

(of course, we are still doomed.)

This is amazing!!!! Sorry Kim & co.

I guess this is a lesson for Kim that you can't just buy any player with a bag of $$$ .

Just read this sentence from another article. Implies that there are expectations for Heckel as well:

"UConn coach Geno Auriemma has made it known that two players have officially visited and will most likely commit to the Huskies. One such player is Serah Williams, a former Wisconsin forward who averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in the 2024–2025 season."

Yes Mabel, The rich just keep on getting richer!!!!!

A slick number on how UConn landed Serah:

Also, there’s a good reason why UConn never publishes a picture of a recruit or transfer in a UConn uniform prior to their official commitment…,,because if you do what LSU did with Williams, and it doesn’t work out, your program looks really dumb and amateurish.

 

[Charliebball]

Absolutely worth the wait.......Thrilled to be wrong again!! Contrary to public opinion, I think this will be great for the long-term growth of Jana, Ice and Gandy....

As I said in one of the other threads about Serah, we'll know when it's official, as UConn is not about the flash.

Keep getting it wrong Charliebball!

 

[Forego]

Welcome Serah! Have you gone for your ring fitting yet? Shout out to Coach Mo who I am sure pointed Serah in the right direction at the start of her journey

 

[MilfordHusky]

Welcome, Serah!! The entire State will love you!

 

[The CDR-Ret]

Praise God!!!

Thank Geno, CD & Company (includes all Huskies past & Present)!!!

 

[mmeade258]

Does anyone really UNDERSTAND how dangerous this makes UConn!!????

This allows postionless Sarah Strong to play the 3. we all know Geno loves to play 3 guards.

KK (or sub in Ash)
Azzi
SARAH
SERAH
Jana

Hahahahahahahahhahah it’s kinda comedic

Let’s just pray everyone stays healthy. See you all in Phoenix.

GO HUSKIES

 

[Just.A.Fan]

Im hoping Kayleigh commits too. She would be a very good replacement for Paige. Your Bliss doesn't matter !!!!!!

Nobody could or can replace Paige! Kayleigh would be a nice addition regardless.

If I were Geno -- don't worry, I know I'm not -- I'd have said to Serah that part of her responsibility next season will be to mentor Jana, Ice and Gandy. Maybe even have as an expectation that the big girls have their own regularly scheduled 3v3 game. No littles allowed.

Of course, this is also probably the reason I'm not the greatest coach of all time.

 

[The CDR-Ret]

This is amazing!!!! Sorry Kim & co.

Sorry, NOT Sorry!

Pretty sure Kim wants to be on the opposite side of the bracket come March next year!

Now for Kayleigh to fill out the scholarships at 15.

Go Huskies!!!

Beyond having Happy Feet!!

Happy Dance!!!

It's wonderful news! She averaged about 20/10 on Wisconsin this past year.
That was on a mediocre team where I bet the ranch that she was THE focus
of every defense she played against. She'll have more room to operate at UConn with
shooters who needed to be guarded. Serah played well against Betts of UCLA....the best college
big early in the year. No expectation that she will be a Betts for us....but I do expect her to elevate
our offensive game...bigtime.

Our returning bigs will have the opportunity to play with her on the court and when Serah sits.
Geno will figure it out.

AND...let's get Heckel too for guard depth!

Just checking: Serah has one year of eligibility left....correct?

 

[Zarathustra]

Im hoping Kayleigh commits too. She would be a very good replacement for Paige. Your Bliss doesn't matter !!!!!!

I been thinking about "KK" and "K9" .... beautiful thoughts!
May it come to pass. Oh, my first wish was for SERAH....
"When you wish upon a star...... Makes no difference who
you are... " But the BONDYARD was universal in the
same wish. NC # 13 ? = A "Baker's Dozen". Thank you,
Serah!!!
