WHAT THE H-LL, I turned on ESPN like the BY notice said, 4/6 11:00am on ESPN and all I got was a HS BB game!
Where was it shown?
Does anyone have it to put on here?
God that pi--es me off!

That was an estimation. They said it would be at half time of the game between Montverde and IMG. They played at a lighting pace and the and the first half only took 40 minutes.

it was done DURING that game. about 20 min earlier then promo-ed. i don't blame u for being p.o.'d
 
2024-5 Front court (4 & 5) Jana, Ice, Yanna and Sarah*;
( 3 ) Caroline, Aubrey, Morgan*;
( 1 & 2 ) KK, Ash, Azzi, Paige*, Allie, Q*

* Can play other spots e.g. SS can fill in at #3 or #5; PB at a #3

Ines and Amari will have to battle for any minutes.

Can you say NC 12?

I kept hearing in the So Cal. game that they had the #1 2024 recruiting class. With the Strong commitment I gotta believe that UCONN has replaced them in those rankings, especially if you consider that Jana will be part of this incoming class of Freshmen.

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.

Geno made some comment that she may not have been 100% yet, as did person who plays in the pros (can’t think of name). Let her get back up to 100%, throw in Azzi and Sarah and Alli Z and Jana and Aubrey and Ice and KK and Caroline and Q and Morgan and Ash (who else?)- a very potent scoring team!

This is very exciting and the future has become even brighter. With the return of our hurt players, the return of a seasoned group of sophomores and an outstanding recruiting class, Geno and a championship hungry Paige have their best chance since 2016 of returning to championship glory. Go Huskies!!!

I believe you are correct about having the best chance since 2016 To win a championship
Having seen Sarah strong play in person and on TV three or four times you cannot overestimate how skilled ,fundamentally sound and physically dominating she is additionally, she has a very high basketball IQ is a team player and a very high character person
Like all freshman playing defense and college level will be an adjustment but
I will be shocked if she is not an impact player immediately
The very good news is that I think this will keep Gino around for four more years
 
I'm on record as saying that UConn didn't need to get Sarah in order to be very good next year. Let me say for the record that adding Sarah will be guilding lily and then some. Please, please let's have all our talent healthy next year. I'm pretty psyched to see what this team can do.
 
I litterally had tears of joy when I heard the news. We now have Aaliyah's replacement from day one, This WILL now be one of Uconn's best teams EVER! I will finally see NO.12. Welcome, with all my heart, SARAH!!!! Uconn NOW has two legitimate starting five's To put on the floor and wear any team into the ground. THIS NEWS ALMOST MAKES UP THE HORRIBLE LOSS TO IOWA,BUT, NOT QUITE. I can feel better all this summer and look forward to Uconn's coming FANTASTIC season. GO SARAH!!!!! GO FRESHMEN!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!

Sara:
"Just watching them play ... watching and realizing I can help them and be there. I'm just ready to be there and practice and play," Strong said of her decision to choose UConn, adding she felt the Huskies can help her reach her goal of playing in the WNBA. "I like the style and feel like I fill a need there. I'm drawn to the championship culture."
