Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5327923, member: 7511"] Blanca first opened up to being recruited by US colleges in April 2023. UConn was on to her almost immediately, got her in for an early visit and she verbally committed to UConn just 6 months later in October of 2023, two full years before she will play her first game in Storrs. The accelerated timeline is a bit unusual for international players. But it is a testimony to how well connected to international recruiting Geno and his coaching staff have become. I don’t know if any other college actively pursued Blanca. Certainly she would have been directly in Jose/USF’s wheelhouse. But honestly, I think Geno pulled off a coup, getting a great player before anyone else knew she existed. [/QUOTE]
