Serah Williams On Why UConn

[RockyMTblue2]

“It's my last year and I'm a very [instinctual] person,” she said in June. “I really thought: Where can I have the most fun but also take a big jump on the court?”

June? I missed that. It is from this weeks UConn WBB Weekly. Part of a fairly detailed article by Dan Connoly. I'm not going to quote extensively and risk wrath of those who bestow wrath. I didn't know she only visited LSU first, then UConn. A UConn was the place, the people, feels like home to me decision quickly made.

“Once I got here, the girls were very funny, the staff was very [welcoming]. It was homey, the environment,” she said. “You see all the championships everywhere and the success of the program, it's hard to not want to come here after seeing that.”

She commited before leaving campus. I hear they are still trying to get Kim's jacket down from the power pole outside her office.

I believe Serah Williams is the very best player available in the transfer portal this season. The still bizarre event in the pursuit of Serah Williams was the decision by LSU to post photos of Serah in an LSU uniform in front of the school logo right after her visit to Baton Rouge.

That created a lot of angst among Husky fans. But in the end, once Serah committed to UConn, LSU’s decision to post those photos looked silly and amateurish. That’s one of the reasons you will never see UConn post any information on a recruit or transfer coming to UConn until all the i’s are dotted and the T’s are crossed.

I liked that Dan Connolly mentioned that LSU pulled out all the stops and put on a big show, while UConn didn't even tell anyone outside of the team that Serah was visiting. As Geno has said (paraphrasing) he doesn't want anyone coming to his team for any reason other than basketball.

One more quote from the article, talking about Marisa Moseley:

“I’m not a big outside advice person. I know she did work here and she's had her time here, but that was when she was here and I'm here now. So I don't really look for that,” Williams explained. “But me and her do stay in contact, we just talk, she wishes me good luck and she keeps me confident.”

Contrast that with the thread about the lawsuit. (Note that I'm not casting aspersions, just pointing out that Serah has a different take.)

Unlike most schools, we never know when a recruit is on campus. It’s under wraps unless a player or the player posts about it.

Connolly commented on LSU's Red Carpet approach to her visit. Not what you mention. I think it is beyond tacky to stick uniforms on the kid and publish precommitment but Kim screams tacky.

I started that topic but I've got Marisa's back.

I agree. What on earth do they think they’re doing by pressuring a prospect to model a uniform? That sounds totally creepy.
