Strong to UConn [merged thread]

[Charliebball]

I've been amazingly, wonderfully wrong again!! Fantastic news after a terribly disappointing night!!

 

[NEforceUConn]

Seems fitting

 

[Geew1992]

This is such a fantastic way to announce!!

And it also shows following players and people on social media isn’t a sign

 

[Amashutcha]

We have much skill and size next year. Maybe we can finally challenge SC again.

A Boston Celtic sweatshirt, It was right in the tea leaves. C'MON MAN!!!

We have unfinished business, so I have a personal request for Geno. Please schedule a game against Iowa next year. I'm sure Sarah would love it.

We are set to play them at Barclays next season. Double header with Tennessee and Louisville in the second game.

 

[DEpup]

Nice. She looks like she could be our next all american center based on clips I’ve seen. I hope so

She's not a center. She's a wing/power forward.

 

[Phoenixhusky]

2024 class is excellent with the #1, #4 and #18 players committed.

 

[Luckystrike]

Wow.. what an emotional video. Sarah will be one of the greats at UConn. HUGE for us next season

 

[Frodo]

Sarah Strong picks Huskies.

 

[UCTitleTown]

I think South Carolina would've beaten us in the title game. They're an all-time great team and we're depleted. Today's announcement completely changed my frown upside down. Pumped!

Pretty sure UConn is playing Louisville not iowa

What I posted in the other thread:
Sorry, but I don’t like her timing. The focus tomorrow should be on the two teams and the players getting set to square off for the national championship. However, if she chooses UConn I might forgive her.

Sarah, all is forgiven. Welcome to UConn!

 

[dogpause]

Sarah will make us stronger and more athletic. Yes!

Jana is our next all American center.

The argument has been made that in order to be considered a GOAT, a player needs an NC on her resume. Paige is a case in point. Personally, I don't believe that Buckets needs an NC, but the addition of Sarah Strong to next year's lineup may go a long way to achieving that goal. I think that Paige DESERVES an NC for her unique greatness, her gritty contributions, her support of her teammates on and off the court. Enter Ms. Strong. We'll still be very young next season, and our newbies will have to state their case. Our guards are plentiful and good. If Ice can grow into consistency and one of the other bigs can provide backup, Strong may be the difference maker. Let's hope.

Ah you are right, my bad!

Challenge? No baby...there ain't no looking back. I believe that it will be SC challenging UConn next year as UConn will be the number one ranked team in the country by the time the NCAA tournament rolls around. Go Huskies!!!

 

[Rowdy831]

I appreciate the sentiment, but Iowa without CC wouldn’t be the same

Pretty much their whole team will be different next year.

I will gladly eat my words too! Yay! Welcome Sarah!

She’s a guard. Good grief.

 

[Charliebball]

UConn is in great shape for the next four years with this recruiting class.............barring injuries of course.......

 

[Bald Husky]

2024 class is excellent with the #1, #4 and #18 players committed.

Plus the fact that Morgan is way underrated at #18 as she joined Sarah on the 5 player Naismith first team all American team. Two players from that team, how awesome is that?

 

[Rowdy831]

That is a big win for UConn. Like I have always said UConn has great players all the way down the bench. Geno will have his hands full figuring out who to put on the court.

UConn women's basketball lands nation's No. 1-ranked recruit Sarah Strong​

Good high school basketball players come to play for UConn women’s basketball every year to become legendary college and professional players. Eighteen-year-old kids with dreams of playing the sport at the highest stage often leave Storrs as household names.

Strong announced her commitment to the Huskies through ESPN during the 2024 Chipotle Nationals Championship Game -- about 12 hours after UConn fell to Iowa in the Final Four.
"I want to definitely get better and just grow as a person off the court and I really want to be coached by him (Geno Auriemma)," Strong said as she unzipped her jacket to reveal a UConn shirt, confirming her decision.

I don't believe there are 17 players better than #18 Cheli. Three highly ranked players, yes!

 

[FanInNC]

Always hurts to lose a NC State legacy recruit - happens much too often. But thank goodness she picked UConn and not Chapel Hill or Duke. That would have been tough to swallow.

 

[Mike72fl]

This means Ice will need to be much better next season; or else.

Gave me goosebumps. How smart and articulate she is; I already love this young woman.

 

[meyers7]

Knew it all along.
Awesome news. Welcome, she'll love it here.
