Depends what you mean by " natural" fit. She visited UCONN recently and was not offered as best we can tell. Gusters of the same class '20 was offered and DeBerry one class behind "21 was also offered by UCONN.
ND as well. I believe they are kind of in our situation. Losing a lot but not really replacing at the same rate. Should be some big recruiting battles between Geno and Muffet for 2020 and 2021.
All important questions that I will worry about as soon as this season is over. As for right now, UConn is the unanimous #1 team in the nation after thrashing the reigning national champions, and previous unanimous #1 team on their home court.
It's a nice thought, but truth be told, I do struggle to walk and eat a ham sandwich at the same time...I don't know OD, I thought you were the original multi tasker....

I am not impressed with her play so far.
Charlie, ditto to your comments. While I am not naïve enough to think this Board's comments reflect Geno's, about a year ago much of the conversation was about other potential recruits from Australia and throughout US and how Boston might fit in. Myself and others posted that Boston was a must win, but as with many discussions, opinions varied until it became obvious Boston was the main/only option. In the chance she was made aware of these posts, could have influenced decision. I know, low probability this took place but...
Not sure I understand comments that things don't change at UConn. Many years have seen 3-5 recruits come in. Geno has typically been creative in his strategies so don't buy the "we only recruit the top 1-2 players each year" scenario.
Triad can probably help you with sammiches.It's a nice thought, but truth be told, I do struggle to walk and eat a ham sandwich at the same time...
Frankly, I wasn’t either. She has size and skills, but got into foul trouble and was a non-factor in both losses last weekend. She’s no Tina Charles.
Better is the prospect that you will be playing in big, meaningful games on big stages with many eyes watching you constantly throughout your career. This only enhances your chances to move on and into the League. I mean, I know most 17 year old's are completely self consumed and actually know little about the game they play. But some of these recruits have to notice that the WBB national teams are UConn top heavy. I'm surprised that doesn't speak more to them.
Top-heavy? You mean like 80% of the starting lineup? Dawn didn’t win the gold medal in Tenerife. Stewie, Diana, Sue, Tina, and Brit did. So if you’re 6’9”, go to Baylor. If you’re not, go to UConn.
The part that will not change regardless of how highly ranked is that each recruit must fit in on the UCONN team. Geno has said the number one thing he looks for in a recruit is someone who is going to be a good teammate.
We generally prefer a player with 2,592 career points, not one ranked #2,592.
Actually,that is her schools ranking. It is the Max Preps tanking of all high schools in the USA. By taking her it would keep the Luuu chant going.We generally prefer a player with 2,592 career points, not one ranked #2,592.
So, we need to tell Geno to find:
Exactly! Geno has changed and adapted to the player recruited and those he accepted
For some kids: The Game is the thing. Getting to play and play early. Too much of the visible bench sitters and an Ossining player associated drama had to have an impact.
